Green Bamboo Lodge Resort

The new owner is on point. I loved the kindness and attentive manager of the resort. I went during Viet high season, but still not many people. Thus it wasn't at full amenities such as not all pools were available. But they are really changing and making it a better while being an affordable destination. Only five minute walk for Cat Tien gate. Diverse menu. I think the new owner is putting their all into this place so it's only going to get better. Great job at keeping the mosquitos at bay. They have a great river view.

The staff here is extremely accomodating and super friendly. They were always happy to help and very kind while doing so. Especially the receptionists! They charged a little more for the bus tickets for the local bus to Da Lat, but since we are unable to communicate with the bus service by ourselves we decided we did not mind the upcharge and to just see it as a tip. We got our breakfast for the next morning as well, as we left at 6am.

Our stay here was really great. We had amazing time. The small house we stayed in was tidy and clean and beds were comfortable. Air conditioning worked well. And what is more we had a first row river view. The resort on its own is beautiful with a lot of plants and complex of swimming pools. Food and drinks in restaurant are delicious. The resort is located near the ferry to the Cat Tien National Park. It’s great to experience the nature by foot or by bike (we rent it at the resort). We saw some amazing plants and trees and also animals. What is more at the resort we booked 2 trips - Night Safari and Sunrise boat trip. Both were excellent and totally worth it. And the most important thing people at the resort are incredibly nice and always ready to help. For example we had a booked ride back to the Ho Chi Minh City which was cancelled last minute and staff there helped us organised transport in 5 minutes. It saved us a lot of trouble and anxiety. We really recommend this place!!!

Staff here are super friendly, always greeted with a warm hello. I liked that there were some good vegetarian options at the restaurant. Restaurant was on the pricier side but the portions were huge and the food was lovely. One of the staff drove me on a motorbike to get my nails done which was so nice. Laundry was done within less than 24 hours. Its within walking distance to the entrance of the national park. Could hear gibbons in the morning :).

Loved the location ... exactly as described (1 minute to Cat Tien NP boat crossing) and beautiful views from our room straight onto the Dong Nai River. Rustic and wild is exactly what you get here but loved every second. The beds are a bit hard but after a full day in the park you'll fall asleep regardless. You may get woken up by the monkeys, birds, gibbons and gekos (these can be really loud and waking up laughing each night was actually quite special) Food - good range in their restaurant and reasonably priced! Open most of the day and never went hungry or thirsty. Smoothies are lush. Staff - reception / management speak enough English to make everything work. Other staff have mixed levels but again this never caused an issue ... they even took time to teach us more vietnamese! They were all GREAT!! Pool - open anytime and with 1 main pool and 4 other mini pool-let's it's a perfect place to see the stars at night, watch out for wildlife under foot on the way to it and bring a torch if going in the dark ... Worth it though as we even saw fireflies. Bike Hire - much better bikes that what you can get in the NP had a ball renting 2 of these for the day! Getting here - actually really easy: book a Futa bus from either HCM or Da Lat to the opposing one, WhatsApp the lodge on their number and arrange a taxi to meet you at 142km junction. They sent a brand new car and to be honest it was seamless despite my real concerns. Leaving - just WhatsApp them or speak to the reception team. This time round I got them to sort it all; another brand new car ready when we were due to leave,, driver took us straight to the main road, bought us water and waited with us for the bus. He dealt with it all ... we just got on and writing this on the way to Da Lat - AMAZING service!! So despite all my worries of how to get there and leave again I would 100% return if I find myself in this part of Vietnam again. Thank you all!!
