Villa Song Saigon: "heaven in ho chi minh"
Probably the best hotel in Ho Chi Minh. Food and room was very good with excellent service. Only 15min. away from the center with the speedboat. We come back for some more days holiday and business daysVilla Song Saigon: "Last destination and wow"
"After a 20 minute taxi drive we arrived at the hotel in the evening. Our first thoughts were - very nice place but outside from the buzzeling district 1. However the hotel offers a shuttle boat service and while enjoying the boat ride you are very fast in downtown. We stayed 4 days with a break and we got 2 upgrades. The staff is very friendly motivated and helpful. The breakfast is a selection from the a la carte Menu. Therefore the food is always fresh cooked and very delicious. Yesterday evening this was topped by the dinner. Fantastic and very tasty food. A great thank you to all of you. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"Satri House: "Warm and welcoming staff"
Initially a little complicated to understand the various buildings in this lovely garden, but everything was so conveniently located in this beautiful property and lovely garden. It felt very much like a large family house and the staff were gentle, welcoming and very very accommodating. We were lulled into the Loatian mellow style in comfort and beauty.Hotel Tugu Bali: "Again…. FANTASTIC !"
"Second time at Tugu Amazing moment at Ji restaurant Extreme quality sushi and best view of Canggu to see the sunset; the rooftop is gorgeous. On Thursday, you have à Balinese spectacle, a “must see” The staff is smily and professional I am sure you will enjoy "Samanea Beach Resort: "Girls Trip in Cambodia"
Beautiful, secluded resort. The hospitality and atmosphere is beyond expectations. We arrived in early afternoon to welcoming arms and were escorted to our villa. We enjoyed the delicious lunch and partook in 2 for 1 drinks at happy hour. When the bar tender discovered I preferred Bacardi Rum to what they offered, he went to a market and purchased it for my next drink! Unbelievable people! The servers gladly held our second round of drinks for after we returned from dinner. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and kind. The outdoor bath and shower were a perfect ending to serene and peaceful day.Slow Villas and Spa: "Beautiful place on a dream island"
Slow Gili Air is a true blissful place. From check-in tot check-out, the staff makes sure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay without interrupting your privacy. The villas are spacious, with a kitchen, and a huge private garden, but the best part is the private pool and the outdoor bathroom! From the resort it's just a short walk to the beaches in the west and north of the island, and the staff gave us a handy map to explore Gili Air. Slow has bicycles for rent, though the quality of those aren't that great. But since Gili Air has many sandy paths and it's a pretty small island, you won't be needing a bicycle anyway. All in all, Slow is highly recommended and we'd love to come back.Bassac Cruises: "Relaxing way to see the countryside and river"
"We booked a one night cruise and struck lucky as we were the only passengers on board. Even the 4 hour transfer on the first day was soon forgotten when we had lunch on board and cruised along the river and canals. In the afternoon we had a walk around the countryside and sampled some fruit. Everything was explained perfectly by An who gave us a lesson in everything Vietnamese, history, economy, education, social services, you name it, she explained it all to us. Back on board we had a drink followed by dinner. After a nightcap we retired to the small but comfortable a air conditioned cabin with ensuite. Early to rise, we had breakfast on board before transferring to a smaller boat for the final tours of local sugar factory, floating market and rice cake making. Again, expertly explained by An, we sadly said our goodbyes to face the 2 1/2 hour transfer back to Saigon. This was a great way to get to know a piece of the real Vietnam."Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Excellent hotel resort"
"It's a long ride up river to Myauk U but worth it. The resort is a welcome sight when you get there. Rooms (or rather villa) are huge, almost a villa, in some interpretation of traditional style. Very relaxing with the lotus ponds. Staff are wonderful. The on-premise restaurant is very good. If you are not an early riser, ask for a room away from the river as the boats are noisy and start early. A few words of advice: Just don't take boxed food to go, or if you do, do not order the prawns."Villa Song Saigon: "Love the restaurant"
"Even when you don't stay in the hotel you still can come here for food and drink. The advantage when enjoy meals here is that you are served with 5 stars hotel level. Staff are very polite, well trained and pay attention to small details to satisfy you. About the view, this hotel owns the best view of Sai Gon river. Decorations are very well to make it different from restaurants around with full of green but not surrounded by mosquitoes as most of other river side restaurant. Breakfast, lunch or dinner here are equally good. But each moment has different beauty. When I want to enjoy my romantic relationship with my hubby, Villa Song always my first choice."Reverie Siam: "Amazing hotel"
"I don't recommend getting to Pai at night, at least not drive to there. In the night it is a bit hard to find and the hotel couldn't be found on the car navi. Other then that it was a very welcome very cosy hotel. Our room was a bit far and you can get a bit lost there but it is a part of the place magic. It reminded me a bit like Alice in wonderland with all the bushes. The room was great and clean, the ride to the city was very comfortable for those who don't have bikes there."
