Escape to Paradise: Wink Hotel's Rooftop Pool & 24/7 Luxury in Can Tho!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the kaleidoscopic world of Wink Hotel Can Tho. Forget the sterile hotel reviews – we're going for the real deal. My stay? Well, let's just say it was an experience. And by experience, I mean a glorious, messy, slightly hungover, overwhelmingly positive Escape to Paradise: Wink Hotel's Rooftop Pool & 24/7 Luxury in Can Tho! kind of experience.
First, the Hype – and Does it Deliver? (Spoiler Alert: Mostly Yes!)
From the get-go, Wink is throwing down the gauntlet. “Luxury, 24/7?” Okay, Wink, prove it. And for the most part, they did. Now, I'm a sucker for a rooftop pool. Let's be honest, who isn't? The Pool with a View is the real draw. The photos? They don't lie. Sunsets? Mind-blowing. Cocktails? Surprisingly strong (a very, very good thing after a day of exploring the floating markets. More on that later…).
Accessibility: No Excuses, Wink! (And They're Mostly Good)
This is crucial. I'm happy to report that Wink Hotel is trying. They have Facilities for Disabled Guests, and an Elevator, which is a lifesaver. I didn't personally test the wheelchair accessibility, but they state it's a focus, so I'm optimistic. We'll give them the benefit of the doubt and keep an eye on future travelers' experiences.
The Room (And the Glorious Bed – HALLELUJAH!)
My room? Oh, it was a haven. Air Conditioning that actually worked (bliss!), a Blackout Curtain that meant I could sleep until noon without the Vietnamese sun assaulting my retinas, and a Bed…oh, the bed! This is where Wink really shines. It was like sleeping on a cloud of pure comfort. I'm talking Extra Long Bed, perfectly clean Linens, and a mattress that just hugs you. Honestly, I could have spent my entire trip just sleeping (and maybe I did a little bit).
The Shower was powerful, the Toiletries smelled divine (seriously, I wanted to steal them), and there was Complimentary Tea. Okay, maybe that's not a huge deal, but after a long day, a little tea in my Seating Area was everything. Shoutout to the Mirror – vital for my daily pre-pool selfie routine.
Speaking of my room, let me tell you about my first impression. I walk in, disheveled, smelling of river water and street food (delightful smells, mind you!), and I immediately kick my shoes off and flopped on the bed. And I’m not kidding when I say I basically melted into that mattress. It took me at least 20 minutes to actually get up and unpack!
Food, Glorious Food (and a Few Quirks)
The Restaurant scene at Wink is impressive. They've got Restaurants, a Coffee Shop, a Poolside Bar – the works. The Breakfast Buffet was a solid start. Asian Breakfast, Western Breakfast, and all the usual suspects. The Coffee/Tea in restaurant wasn't the strongest, but I didn't care. I was there for the Poolside Bar. They also cater to vegans with a Vegetarian Restaurant.
One thing: the Room Service [24-hour] is a must. Ordering a late-night snack after a few too many cocktails by the pool? Pure genius.
Things I loved: The Happy Hour at the bar (yes, please!). The Desserts in restaurant. It really does feel like you can make this hotel what you want it to be.
The Spa and Relaxation Oasis – My Happy Place
Need a little pampering? Wink's got you covered. Spa, Sauna, Pool with View, Massage - It was a symphony of relaxation. I succumbed to Body Scrub AND a Massage (bliss!), and I swear I floated out of there. I didn't get around to the Body Wrap, but now I'm kicking myself for missing out!
Cleanliness and Safety – In the Age of Everything
Listen, traveling now means thinking about hygiene. Wink gets it. Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, Room sanitization between stays. They even offer Room sanitization opt-out available. They’ve got Professional-grade sanitizing services. Important stuff, considering the state of the world. They've got the basics covered, but the real kicker is the Doctor/nurse on call. I’m guessing they've had to do that – Can Tho is a bustling place!
Internet & Tech – Keeping Connected
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? YES! Internet access – wireless? Of course! Internet access – LAN? They've got you covered. Essential for staying in touch with the outside world, even if you really don't want to be. They even have Wi-Fi for special events whatever they are going on.
For the Kids (And the Parents Who Need a Break)
Family/child friendly – checked. Babysitting service – also checked. They’ve got Kids facilities and Kids meal, which means you can escape for a romantic dinner without the guilt. My partner seemed to be delighted with this, as I was constantly talking about floating markets and was getting them all in one ear and out the other.
Services and Conveniences – The Perks of Being Pampered
Air conditioning in public area (thank the heavens!). Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Laundry service. They've got all the stuff you'd expect from a well-run hotel. The 24-hour front desk is a lifesaver. And the Luggage storage allows you to do that little bit of last-minute shopping.
Getting Around – Location, Location, Location
Airport transfer – a must if you're flying in. Car park [free of charge] – score! Taxi service – readily available. They make getting around Can Tho a breeze.
Things to Do Around Can Tho (Beyond the Pool!)
Okay, so the pool is tempting, but don't just stay there! Can Tho is a fascinating place. Here's the abridged version of what I did (and what you should do):
- Floating Markets: Don't miss it. Get up early. Embrace the chaos. Haggle for fruit. It's total immersion.
- Can Tho Bridge: A gorgeous sight.
- Local Food: Eat everything. Seriously. Asian cuisine in restaurant. Street food is a MUST.
The Imperfections (Because Nothing's Perfect)
Look, no place is flawless. There's always something, right?
- The Happy Hour could maybe last a little longer? Just a thought…
- The Breakfast menu, while comprehensive, could use a little more "wow" factor.
- While the staff were lovely, communication at times could be a tiny bit challenging, but nothing a little pointing and smiling couldn't solve.
The Verdict: Book it Now! (Seriously)
Wink Hotel Can Tho is more than just a hotel; it's an experience. It’s a place where you can unwind, recharge, and make memories. The Pool with a View alone is worth the price of admission. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful and the beds are pure heaven.
My emotional reaction? I loved it. I’d go back in a heartbeat. It's not just a place to sleep; it's a place to live for a few days. The imperfections are minimal and easily overlooked.

WINK HOTEL CAN THO: 24-HOUR RAGE AGAINST MONOTONY
(Okay, maybe not rage. More like… a friendly, slightly caffeinated shove.)
Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Arrival, River Whispers & Existential Dread
- 7:00 AM: Assuming I actually wake up at 7:00 AM. (Realistically, it's probably closer to 7:30 AM, after I snooze, regret it, hit snooze again, and mumble an apology to the universe). Arrive in Can Tho. Flights in Vietnam? They're… an experience. Expect delays, expect tiny seats, and expect the air conditioning to feel like it's attempting to surgically remove your soul. But hey – we're here! Taxi to the Wink Hotel Can Tho Ninh Kieu Wharf. Ugh, “Ninh Kieu Wharf” – sounds important. Hope it's not too important…
- 7:30 AM (ish): Check-in. Pray to the travel gods for an early check-in. Because, let's be real, after the flight, I transform into a hangry, caffeine-deprived gremlin. Positive vibes only! The hotel's got to be cute, right? Modern, hopefully. Pictures on the internet never lie. I hope…
- 8:00 AM: Room reveal! (Fingers crossed). Let's see if it lives up to the Insta-hype. Immediately survey the layout. Bed, bathroom, window view? (Important for judging the level of impending doom.) Luggage drop. Unpack? Maybe later. Hunger pangs are taking over.
- 8:30 AM: FUEL UP! Hotel breakfast mandatory. Gotta get the Vietnamese breakfast down. Phở? Banh Mi (because I'm basic, and I like what I like!). Coffee! A STRONG Vietnamese coffee. I need to experience the authentic taste of Vietnam's robust coffee, a true wake-up call. It's my fuel for adventure.
- 9:30 AM: River Tour Time: Time travel to the famous Cai Rang Floating Market. I'm expecting absolute chaos and sensory overload, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Negotiating the price? Terrifying and thrilling. I've already had some of the local fruits at the market. I think they are amazing!
- 12:00 PM: Back at the hotel, shower time to refresh before heading into the next segment.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lunch, Exploring, and the Curse of the Cyclo
- 12:00 PM: Lunch Time. Find a local restaurant. I like trying the local foods to get the real travel experience.
- 1:00 PM: Explore the city. The river life is the core of Can Tho. I am looking for a cyclo! I have never experienced it before.
- 2:00 PM: Cyclo- Riding. The negotiation went something like this… "How much?" Me, pointing at the beautiful metal scooter. "Fifty thousand dong!" Cyclo man says with a smile. "Hmm… How about twenty-five?" "Forty!" We eventually settled on thirty-five and a promise to the man to visit his family.
- 3:00 PM: Visit the Binh Thuy Ancient House. More history. I always feel weird in places like these, like I am somehow disrespecting the people who lived there. Even if they lived there hundreds of years ago.
- 4:00 PM: Wander, get lost. Because getting lost is the best way to find something wonderful!
Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Sunset Drinks, Rooftop Vibes & Stomach Adventures
- 5:00 PM: Head straight to the Rooftop Pool Bar at the Wink Hotel. Pool? Check. Sunset view? Double-check. Cocktails? Triple-check. This is the reward for surviving the day. Order something fruity and potent. Watch the world turn the color of a particularly beautiful bruise.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Seafood, probably. Gotta be that delicious Vietnamese seafood. Find a restaurant with a view. Ask the locals for recommendations. Avoid the tourist traps. (Unless the tourist trap has particularly good Instagram potential… you know, for research purposes). This is important for the research.
- 7:30 PM: More walking. The city at night is pretty.
- 8:00 PM: Grab a dessert. (Or two.) Durian, maybe? I've heard it's either heavenly or horrifying. I'm ready to risk it for the biscuit (or, you know, the durian).
- 9:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Time for a late-night exploration of the room. Watch some late-night television. I hope there is something.
- 10:00 PM: Attempt sleep. (Likely involving tossing, turning, and a desperate search for the perfect pillow position).
Night (10:00 PM - The Moment I Collapse): The End (Or the Beginning?)
10:00 PM – Whenever I Pass Out: Honestly? This is the Wild Card section. It depends on how many cocktails I consumed and how much jet lag is kicking in. Maybe I’ll try to write in a journal, maybe I'll watch some terrible, dubbed television (my guilty pleasure). Maybe I'll just stare at the ceiling, pondering the meaning of life, or just the fact that I'm in Can Tho and it’s amazing. Whatever. The most important thing is to embrace the mess.
The Morning After: If there's time, a quick dip in the rooftop pool. Then, probably, a mad dash to the airport/bus station/whatever mode of transport I'm using to leave.
Important Considerations:
- Mosquitoes: Bring bug spray. Vietnam loves its mosquitoes.
- Translation Apps: Download them. Seriously. My Vietnamese skills are… nonexistent.
- Spontaneity: Leave space for it! The best travel moments are often the unplanned ones. (And the most disastrous ones. But at least they’re memorable!)
- Embrace the Unexpected: Flights get delayed, people get grumpy, and sometimes you just spill coffee on yourself. It's all part of the journey.
This is my plan. It's ambitious. It's probably overly optimistic. But hey, it’s MY plan, and I'm sticking to it (mostly). Wish me luck. I'll need it. And if you see a slightly frazzled person wandering around Can Tho, muttering about durian and the existential dread of being a tourist… that’s probably me.

Escape to Paradise: Wink Hotel Can Tho - Your Burning Questions (and My Unfiltered Answers!)
Okay, spill the tea! Is that rooftop pool really as amazing as everyone says?
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because here's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (probably). Yes. YES. The pool is... *chef's kiss*. But hold on, let me paint the picture. Picture *me*, okay? Jet-lagged, slightly sunburned from my Mekong Delta adventure, desperately craving a cocktail and somewhere to just... *be*. I get up there and BAM! Views for days. Literally. The Can Tho skyline sprawls before you, shimmering under the sun. And the pool itself? Clean, sparkling, perfectly chilled. I swear, I spent a good hour just drifting around, feeling the stress melt away. It's a legit oasis. I also saw a guy trying to do some *serious* laps, looking all intense. Bless him. I opted for leisurely floating and a few questionable selfie attempts. Success rate: questionable. Overall? AMAZING. It's worth the price of admission, truly.
24/7 Luxury? What does that even *mean* in reality? Does someone actually bring you fresh mango at 3 am? (Asking for a friend...okay, it's me.)
Okay, so the 24/7 thing. It doesn’t mean they're hand-feeding you exotic fruit baskets at ungodly hours (although, a girl can dream!). But here's what it *does* mean, and it's pretty darn good. The reception is always staffed, so if you need anything, they're *there*. Need an extra towel? Boom. Need a recommendation for the best *banh mi* in town at midnight? They’ll get right on it. (And trust me, that's a very important need). The gym is always open (I did not visit...I was too busy eating *banh mi*), and the bar often is too, so you can get a drink whenever the craving hits. It mostly means convenience and peace of mind. Knowing you can get help or service any time of day is a game-changer. Makes you feel like a pampered queen. Now, about that mango… I’m still holding out hope.
Is the Wink Hotel Can Tho actually *stylish*? The photos are always so staged...
Ugh, I know, right? The perfectly curated Instagram shots... They always make you think, "Is this *actually* realistic?" Let me tell you, YES. The Wink Hotel is genuinely stylish. It's got this cool, modern vibe that’s not trying too hard. Think clean lines, pops of color, and a general feeling of… *coolness*. The rooms are well-designed, the common areas are inviting, and the whole place feels fresh and contemporary. It's the kind of place you actually *want* to take photos of (even if your selfie game is as tragic as mine). I particularly loved the quirky art and the clever little design touches everywhere. It's like the designers actually *wanted* you to feel good in the space. And trust me, after a long day exploring Can Tho, that’s a MAJOR win. Okay, maybe I'm biased because I’m a sucker for good design. But still!
The rooms... are they *tiny*? Hotel rooms in Asia can be, you know?
Okay, confession time: I am a serial room-size worrier. I'm always envisioning being crammed into some shoebox of a space. But here's the good news: the rooms at Wink Hotel, while not palatial mansions, are definitely not shoeboxes. They're smartly designed to maximize the space. You get everything you need – a comfy bed (essential!), a decent-sized bathroom, and enough room to, you know, *breathe*. The designers clearly thought about how people *actually* use hotel rooms. Plus, they have great windows and are very clean. I wouldn’t plan on hosting a party in your room, but honestly, you probably won’t want to anyway with that rooftop pool calling your name! I had plenty of space to spread out my (massive) pile of souvenirs and recharge after a day of sightseeing.
Alright, let's get real. What's the actual vibe? Is it party central? Relaxation retreat? Somewhere in between?
Okay, this is a crucial question! The vibe is… *perfectly balanced*, I'd say. It's definitely not a screaming, flashing-lights, party-’til-dawn kind of place. I mean, you *could* probably have a party if you really wanted to (within reason, of course!), but it's not the main thing. It's also not a super-stuffy, silent-library-where-you-dare-not-speak kind of place either. It's somewhere in the sweet spot. It’s chilled out, it’s cool, and it’s designed for people who want a good time. Think: relaxed conversations, maybe some low-key music in the background, and a general feeling of easy enjoyment. I saw families, couples, solo travelers, and groups of friends all enjoying themselves. It's a place you can relax, recharge, and still feel like you're experiencing the best of Can Tho. It was a much-needed break from the dusty, crowded markets and temples. Seriously, the chill was palpable.
Okay, but the food... What's the deal with the breakfast? Is it worth it? Because I'm a *breakfast person*.
Right, the breakfast. This is *critical*. "Breakfast person" is my middle name, so believe me, I took this *seriously*. Okay, the breakfast at Wink Hotel is… pretty darn good. It's not the *most* extravagant buffet I've ever seen, but it's got everything you need: fresh fruit, pastries, eggs cooked to order, some local dishes (pho!), and decent coffee. The quality of the food is good too. It’s fresh, tasty, and starts your day off right. Honestly? I ate my weight in pancakes. Don't judge me. They were fluffy and perfect. If you're a breakfast-lovin' human, then yes, it is worth it. Start your day with a full belly and a happy heart. I did.
Anything else I should know *before* I book? Any hidden gems? Any MAJOR downsides?
Okay, here’s the insider intel, the stuff they don’t tell you in the glossy brochures. A few minor downsides: The music at the rooftop pool can get a *little* repetitive. And, I'm going to be honest, the elevator could be a tad slow (especially when you're desperate for that rooftop cocktail!). But really, those are minor quibbles. Honestly? The only serious "downside" is that you're going to have to leave eventually. BecauseStay Classy Hotels
