Cong Man Homestay Cham Island

Mr Man (our host) was very responsive from the time we booked our accommodation. Took initiative in arranging ferry booking to the island. He arranged a scooter and it was ready at the pier when we arrived. It’s a simple island so expect simplicity and basics. Value for money 💯 Felt at home and taken care of. Cong Man Homestay is at the end of the smaller village which is peaceful and relaxing. Restaurants and shops nearby. Mrs Man is a sweetheart, her enthusiasm and smile and caring nature was heartwarming. The local shop next door (lovely lady “Thoi”) was our tea and coffee hangout. Met locals and exchanged stories with them through translator. Fun loving group of locals there. Loved the whole island. Unfortunately had to leave few days earlier than planned as weather was getting bad and ferries being cancelled. Would love to visit and stay for longer.

Great hosts, spacious room, balcony, delicious food, Wi-Fi 50+ Mbps (down-stream and up-stream). I came without any expectations and stayed for extra few days. Cham Island is a nice place just to do nothing or to live and work as I did. And I think it's even better off-season, without crowds. I went almost every day to Stone Giant Beach to splash and to have my coconut, then took coffee on the main street of Bai Huong village and then had a home-made dinner. Communication is the key since hosts don't speak English. So, open Google Translate and don't be shy to ask -- for coffee, fruit or even lobster. Another bonus is a nice Buddhist temple just in front.

I very much enjoyed Mrs Man's spirit - a very happy person and ready to help their guests. She cooked dinner for us in the evening. The island does not have great quality of the infrastructures, so the homestay was good if compared to the average. They offered us take-away breakfast (egg banh mi) which was very convenient. Mrs Man and Mr Cong communicated with the boat on a day in which the wind was strong for our return, to assure we would get back to Hoi An. Without their help, we would have missed it because the boat company changed the departure time last minute.

What a wonderful end to my Vietnam holiday. I highly recommend staying with the Cong Man family. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a nice stay. They put up with me asking a million questions before I arrived, made me delicious vegetarian food and even took me to see the north side of the island. The village is so peaceful. Definitely do the basket boat around the cove to go snorkeling. It was exactly what I needed after several days in Hoi An. I feel refreshed.

I beloved the position that was quiet place and great to relax. The AC was a bit stupid even the bathroom was separated and used at the ground of house. However, we were pleasure and appreciate by limiting of Island. Homi should improve All of we liked Huong Beach where was beautiful and lovely red flowers. Btw, we had the memories to save.
