What each facility is really like

Open-sided riverside dining room with colourful chairs and long views over the water

7 am–5 pm · Riverside

Sen Bistro & Cafe

The all-day restaurant on the bank, where breakfast is served and most guests eat lunch. The menu mixes Vietnamese and Italian dishes; recent guests say breakfast has moved to a self-service format.

Worth it if you want an easy riverside lunch between pool sessions.
Skip it if you need a wide choice of vegetarian breakfast dishes — guests find it limited.

5–10 pm

Sen Vietnamese Dining

Southern Vietnamese cooking served family-style at round tables — the meal guests praise most. Private dinners can also be laid out on the decks or by the pool.

Worth it if you want to eat the region’s dishes without leaving the resort.
Skip it if you are on a tight budget: food prices are a common complaint.

Worth it if you want a drink at sunset or a change from Vietnamese food.
Skip it if Italian food is your priority — some guests rate it below the Vietnamese restaurant.

The pools

One shared pool in the garden with a wooden deck, loungers and woven daybeds; the hotel does not publish its size or hours. Five room types add a private pool, one of them infinity-edge.

Worth it if you want a quiet swim and an afternoon under the trees.
Skip it if you want to swim laps: guests find the shared pool smaller than expected.

Making the most of the facilities at An Lam Saigon River

Reserve dinner and the spa early

With every guest eating on site, popular dinner times and evening spa slots fill first. Ask your butler to book both on arrival.

Check what your rate includes

Breakfast, the boat and some activities are bundled into certain packages and not others. Read the rate details before you pay so you know which meals to budget for.

Plan for the evening insects

Dining is largely open-air and on decks, so repellent and long sleeves make dinner by the river far more pleasant, especially in the rainy season.

Honest note

Food and spa prices are the most frequent criticism of the resort, and with no restaurants nearby you will pay them for most meals. Guests also find the shared pool modest in size. Budget for dining and treatments on top of the room, or choose a rate that includes breakfast.

Questions about dining, the spa and activities

Is there room service at An Lam Saigon River?

In-room dining is offered, but the hotel does not publish its hours or menu. One travel guide lists food from early morning and drinks around the clock; ask your butler on arrival what can be served to the villa late in the evening, since the restaurants take last orders at 9 pm.

Can I have a private dinner by the river at An Lam Saigon River?

Yes. The resort sets up private dinners by the pool or on its riverside decks, separate from the three restaurants. Menus and prices are given on request, so ask the hotel when you book if you want one on a particular night, such as an anniversary, and confirm what happens if it rains.

Is there a gym at An Lam Saigon River?

Yes, a fitness centre is part of Jungle Wellness and Spa, alongside the yoga and meditation sala. The resort’s photos show weight machines and cardio equipment under a timber roof open to the garden. Opening hours are not published, so ask at reception on arrival.

Do outside visitors use the spa and restaurants at An Lam Saigon River?

Some do. Residents of Vietnam can book the weekday One-Day Retreat, which includes restaurant and spa credit, and weddings and events bring outside guests to the lawns. Friends visiting in-house guests may use the restaurant area from 11 am to 9 pm. Expect more people on site at weekends and when an event is booked.

Does An Lam Saigon River have bicycles or kayaks?

One booking site lists free bicycles, but the resort’s own pages mention neither bikes nor kayaks, so treat both as unconfirmed and ask the hotel when you book. The activities the hotel does list are river fishing, a sunset cruise, a cooking class, yoga and the spa.

How much is breakfast at An Lam Saigon River if it is not in my rate?

The hotel does not publish a walk-in breakfast price for adults, and booking sites disagree. If your rate excludes breakfast, ask at check-in for the current price, or compare the rates with and without breakfast for your dates. For children aged six to eleven the published charge is VND 420,000 per child per day.

Can I hold a wedding or event at An Lam Saigon River?

Yes. The resort hosts weddings, meetings and private events, with indoor rooms for 12 to 80 guests, the Riva lounge for 50, the separate Saigon River House for up to 200 and the Song Garden lawn by the river for up to 300. Whole-resort buyouts are possible. Events are arranged with the resort itself, not through booking sites.
