We had a very brief stay at Jungle Lodge. The staff were all very friendly and keen to please. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Only 6 guests there the night we stayed, so very quiet. We did an early morning river trip and visited the best sanctuary. Wish we’d been able to stay for longer to explore the National Park at Cat Tien. The Lodge is by no means perfect. The meals we ate were very tasty. Some westerners may find the food offering, particularly breakfast and the way coffee is served, not to their liking. Hint boil the water and serve hot. New poolside furniture needed to make sitting by the pool more appealing.
We were driven back to Saigon by the owner, Gary. It was wonderful to hear detailed history of Vietnam en route. He also discussed at length his plans for Jungle Lodge and providing opportunities for the local people, as well as his commitment to wildlife conservation. We wish Gary and his team well.
