Tam Coc Garden Resort

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true highlight of our Vietnam trip Writing this near the end of our journey through Vietnam gave us perspective—and it only confirmed how exceptional Tam Coc Garden Resort truly is. The resort is beautifully curated, with a quiet elegance that reflects care and taste in every detail. We organized our four-night stay and excursions in advance, and the Tam Coc team understood exactly who we were and what we were looking for. Our guide, Huan, was outstanding—deeply knowledgeable and generous with context. He began with a history lesson that enriched not only our time in Tam Coc, but our travels across Vietnam as a whole. While the first day included some well-known sites, the following days were truly special. We explored the surrounding mountains and a national park almost entirely alone with Huan and Bon, the resort’s head gardener, learning about medicinal plants and the richness of the local ecosystem. Back at the resort, the massages restored our tired bodies, and the farm-to-table food was among the very best of the trip. What makes Tam Coc Garden especially memorable is its women-led management team. Their care shows everywhere—and in deeply personal ways. We were gifted a beautiful handmade laundry bag and a first-edition book of hand-painted illustrations of the garden’s species, made on handmade paper. A true treasure. This is a place that stays with you.

Tam Coc Garden Resort is truly something special. What was meant to be a shorter stay turned into four nights after we decided to extend — and we are so glad we did.||We spent our first two nights in a standard room with balcony, which was lovely, peaceful, and beautifully designed. For the final two nights, we upgraded to the Full Moon Villa, which was outstanding and absolutely worth it. The space, privacy, views, and attention to detail made it a genuinely memorable experience.||The setting is breathtaking — surrounded by rice fields and dramatic limestone scenery — and the resort manages to feel both luxurious and deeply connected to nature. This is sustainable luxury done properly, without feeling forced or performative.||The food deserves special mention — it was exceptional throughout our stay. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, and the Hanoi grilled fish is an absolute must-try. Afternoon snacks were delightful, the massages were excellent, and the views throughout the property are simply exceptional.||We also really appreciated the activities organised by the hotel: tasteful, well thought out, and perfectly in keeping with the serene atmosphere of the place.||Most of all, the staff deserve special mention. Every single person we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The level of care and hospitality made us feel completely at home.||This has been our favourite place so far in Vietnam, and somewhere we would return to without hesitation. A rare, beautiful, and thoughtfully run resort — highly recommended.

We had an exceptional stay at Tom Coc Garden over the holidays and celebrating the beginning of the New Year. The setting is a peaceful respite close enough to anything you want to do around Ninh Binh. The room, pool, and restaurant exceed our expectations. Traveling Vietnam close to a month it was the best restaurant on any of the properties we stayed. The Tom Coc garden team was the highlight of our stay. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and had great service at the restaurant, pool, room service, and transportation. We especially enjoyed the New Years celebration with one of the best buffets we’ve ever had and traditional performances, fireworks, and beautiful decorations. I would highly recommend for a holiday stay in Tom Coc and hope we can visit again someday. The peaceful mornings in the garden can’t be beat!

Nice and relaxing place. If you come to see the monkeys it’s maybe a bit too far, but if not - I can recommend it. Staying in full mood villa you get many nice perks. Complementary massage and snack tray in the afternoon. Massage was great but the food a bit on the simple side, although I still appreciate that. Place offers few activities, there is yoga and cooking class i decided to attend. Nice and friendly, reasonable priced but if you have some simple skills you don’t learn anything new. But I’m still happy i tried it. Breakfast is okay, good mix between a la cart and buffet. Unfortunately the coffee was terrible. We also were unhappy with the laundry service and ironing. But nevertheless it’s a nice place to stay.

We were blown away by this gorgeous resort. The scenery was stunning, the food was delicious, and the massages at the spa were incredible. The staff were all extremely helpful and we loved taking out the bikes to explore the area. They also booked us a fantastic guide who took us to some of the sites and on a local hike. We spent a relaxing four days/three nights at this hidden gem, and it was the highlight of our Vietnam trip!

Tam Coc Garden Resort is truly a slice of heaven. From the moment we arrived, the entire team was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The resort itself is stunning and without a doubt feels like a 5-star experience. Our room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. I especially loved the beautiful bathroom—it felt like showering outdoors in a private oasis. The pool was refreshing, crystal-clear, and perfect after a day of exploring. The on-site restaurant was a highlight. Every meal was outstanding, and breakfast in particular was divine. During our three-night stay, we enjoyed spa treatments each evening, which made it the perfect place to unwind and truly relax. The staff also made it easy for us to rent a motorbike, which I highly recommend for exploring the area. Riding here feels much less intimidating than in the big cities, and it’s a wonderful way to see the sights and then cool off back at the resort. I honestly can’t say enough good things—everything was perfect, and our time here was unforgettable. I would recommend Tam Coc Garden Resort to anyone visiting the Ninh Binh area, and we’ll definitely be back on our next trip.

We had such a lovely stay for two nights and were gutted to leave. It’s the most beautiful resort in a truly stunning location. Shoutout to Yin who gave us the most wonderful experience for the cooking course, and also the the chef on the day, we loved it and had so much fun with you both.

The service was seamless, breakfast was delicious, and the grounds were gorgeous. Don't miss the morning yoga (ref: pic!). Our only regret was not leaving ourselves enough time to relax at the resort and enjoy it. It’s about 5–10 minutes from Tam Coc town, but we liked having the serenity of the hotel while still being just a short Grab ride away. Highly recommend.
