The rooms sit within nine clusters, some of which have their own swimming pool and a BBQ area. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, taking inspiration from Northern Delta architecture; think terracotta tiles, wooden beds and crisp white sheets.
At the heart of the property you will find the indoor and outdoor pools, pool bar and the Organics restaurant, which serves dishes with fresh vegetables and herbs sourced from the local area. You'll also find a spa with the option of daily Tai Chi and yoga. The resort's other restaurant, Sen, is located by the reception area and serves breakfast and Vietnamese cuisine throughout the day.

Top tip:
Pay the small supplement to be in a 'cluster' with a pool, it's only 20€ extra per night but it tends to be a lot quieter.
