GOLDEN BUDDHA BEACH RESORT: "Easter holida"

Review by: CamDav18 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Our stay at the Golden Buddha Resort was magnificent, truly magical. We knew getting there was going to be a bit of a trek, but it was really worth it. The location by the sea is great, the beach was vast and empty, each tree-house beautifully furnished and our son liked it too (the pool table, the pizzas at the beach-bar and wifi at the clubhouse especially) It's a place to enjoy nature, where you can reflect, breathe and simply live. With a few added bits of luxury the resort had the perfect balance for us. We stayed at Baan Marina which was beautiful, spent most of our days at the resort (close to the beach bar) and the club house in the evening, playing pool, cards or reading after food. The staff were ever so friendly, Massi and Pena were the perfect hosts. If we would recommend anything, it would be good to offer a few alternative dishes in the evening for kids although saying that we thought the chef was really excellent. Breakfast was a treat too! Thanks to everyone at Golden Buddha for the lovely memories, we loved it! "

Mathis Retreat: "Little gem in Ubud"

Review by: Lenka P | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent 4 nights in Mathis Retreat in April 2017. It was perfect. Excellent service, great restaurant with endless view over the rice fields, owner who is taking care of each guest and make him feel special. Organization of any tour or transport you need. Shuttle to the town every hour. Stylish rooms, great pool..... Highly recommended

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "Heavenly"

Review by: Liza D | Source: Trip Advisor
My husband and I recently spent three nights at Tugu Lombok, and we are already planning our next trip back - this time for at least a week! Although we were only there for a couple of days, the time that we spent there was incredibly restorative. The hotel's location, on the peninsula and away from other hotels, makes it truly feel like you've escaped from real life. The staff heightens this experience, by catering to your every need with a smile and impeccable service. When we asked the front desk where we might be able to purchase some aloe nearby, they responded that they would deliver some freshly crushed aloe to our room shortly. Lo and behold, fresh aloe arrived and it did wonders for our sunburnt skin. The food was delicious. We particularly appreciated that, in addition to their standard menu, they offered a supplementary menu that changed daily. The day of our departure was quite windy, and the staff helped us coordinate potential alternate ferry options for our trip back to Bali. Our driver also stayed with us at the port until our ferry departed, to ensure that we got on board safely. The staff truly goes the extra mile. We cannot wait for our next visit to Tugu Lombok!

Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic"

Review by: the_belgian_couple | Source: Trip Advisor
In January, we stayed for two weeks at Villa Song, and to be honest, it was the best holiday we've had in years ! Of course, Saigon is a beautiful and interesting city, but staying at Villa Song was the cherry on te cake. Never have we seen such friendly staff who did way more than just their job to make our stay memorable. From reception to housekeeping, everyone always had a smile on their face and was eager to help. A special "thumbs up" for the ladies (and gentleman) at reception - you were great ! We love you ! Above that, the hotel itself is a little gem : beautiful, calm, impeccably clean and ideally located in the nice Thao Dien district, away from the noisy and busy city centre. A complementary boat shuttle made going for a stroll and visiting the old town centre super easy. And last but not least : the hotel also has a fantastic restaurant with great food - definitely worth a visit ! Villa Song will be seeing us again :-) ! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple

Interesting architecture in this sympathetically restored heritage hotel with interesting history as a home prior to conversion to a very comfortable hotel. Has been used as a film set due to authentic exterior, Lots of information available

Villa Song Saigon: "A fabulous oasis in this noisy city"

Review by: KateGB | Source: Trip Advisor
"Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City to be PC) is a large, noisy, chaotic city. It was a relief, therefore, to find our accommodation was away from the madness, right on the river and the general ambience of the hotel reflected its location. Fabulous food and cocktails, a lovely setting, a stunning pool, very friendly staff... all in all I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling in Vietnam. Stayed November 2016, traveled with friends"

Bassac Cruises: "Fantastic trip"

Review by: Colinsweeney | Source: Trip Advisor
"Four if us had a really fantastic overnight trip on Bassac 3 on the Mekong delta. The boat was very cleverly designed with each cabin having its own toilet/shower. The trip included a walk around one of the villages and a visit to a local's house, both of which were extremely enlightening. Our guide Ana was very informative, easy to understand and get on with. In the morning we visited a floating fruit and vegetable market as well as seeing rice noodles being made. A really wonderful and memorable trip."

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Just Wonderful"

Review by: Marco H | Source: tripadvison.com
"We loved staying here. It is a beautiful oasis in the middle of a bustling city. They service was impeccable! They allowed us to check in early and check out VERY late which was so convenient for us. They have a wonderful scheduled boat that takes you to the center of Saigon in 15 minutes which was just so fun. The idea that you can have your free breakfast any time of the day is perfect! They scheduled a tour for us and we were picked up right on the hotel's dock. The pool was nice and quiet. The restaurant is right on the river and has very good food "
