Slow Villas and Spa: "Hidden little secret"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Slow is located on the eastern part of Gili Air - it s a small island, but this area is still quiet, with many coconuts and few construction. Each villa is a little private sanctuary, with a large garden, a nice pool, a terrace. charming decoration, quality linen... and the possibility if you like to have a chef to come and cook a BBQ just for you. Very friendly team, happy to share their favorite spots around the island. it's not right on the beach... but this is why also it's so quiet... and beach is 2mn walk! recommended: take a bike and go around the island by bike!"

Supanniga Eating Room: "Absolutely amazing crab"

Review by: Paul A | Source: Trip Advisor
Had a few dishes but the one that stuck with me was the crab curry. I've never had crab meat like that before - was more like flakes of white fish than the usual texture. Flavours were well balanced all round, and reasonably priced.

This hotel is excellent! Staff are very friendly and the view are spectacular! I visit the hotel for 3 days and i would say it was the best 3 day of my life. Everything at 4river is excellent and good price!

tugu bali: "Beautiful Old Bali Style"

Review by: Lucia G | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I had spend a couple of night's at the Tugu over Nyepi (Balinese day of silence) and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms are stunning, full of little details that make your stay pleasant and also very unique - you feel in Bali, not like this could be any resort around the world. The staff is very sweet and friendly and the location is unbeatable, walking distance from the beach. "

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Best meal in Siem Reap!"

Review by: radvani | Source: Trip Advisor
"After 5 trips to Siem Reap, I finally found a great restaurant! Wat Damnak is absolutely a gem of a place, The ambience, food, and service are all outstanding. The food, however, is what sets this place apart. There's no point making recommendations since the menu changes every week, but suffice to say that every dish on the tasting menu we tried was a treat. The grilled langoustine was exceptionally good, and dessert (mango cashew nut crumble, green mango jelly, and vanilla cream) was an absolute delight. I could have easily eaten 3 more of those. The drinks menu is also extensive, and very good value. My companion had an excellent cocktail, while I tried a local craft beer. I would recommend going for the 6 course option, it's definitely worth it. At USD 31 for the 6 course menu (USD 27 for 5 courses), it's a steal and worth much, much more. This is easily the best restaurant in Siem Reap."

Villa Song Saigon: "Superb hotel"

Review by: happynomad60 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel is outstanding. The service is spot on without being obtrusive, the food delicious, the rooms light and airy and the pool so luxurious. A speedboat takes clients to and from the hotel to the city so it's a convenient relief to be able to come out of the bustle of the city at night. Room Tip: We were on the third floor overlooking the river. The room was cool light and airy and very spacious"

Mume: "A modern take on local flavours"

Review by: SiobhanBreslin | Source: Trip Advisor
After soup dumplings galore and night market snacks Mume offered a fine dining version of Taiwanese flavours and it was nice to experience the variety. The setting is sleek and minimalist but the service is warm and welcoming. We sampled a range of dishes from the menu which offers snacks, small and big plates including oysters, warm sourdough, potato with Taiwanese bacon, Ox tongue and crispy Amadi. I normally ignore dessert but they were intriguing and lighter with peach sorbet and crispy almonds and cucumber yoghurt mousse. Totally deserving of all the positive reviews. We would definitely recommend.

"Il posto dove abbiamo soggiornato migliore,ottima location, tra le risaie di una bali che sta un po scomparendo,le abitazioni immerse nella foresta ,la privaci che non ha comparazione con altri posti , favoloso anche il cibo del ristorante !!sicuramente 1 notte troppo poco, la prossima volta almeno 2 o 3 giorni per farci coccolare di piu!! !

Reverie Siam Pai: "One of my favourites hotels"

Review by: barcelonabp | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is a romantic, quite, nice, retro, luxury, clean, beautiful, dreadful, peaceful hotel with charm and also with great team, nice environment cute swimming pool, perfect breakfast, comfortable bed... I can only say positive adjectives and really nice memories of time I’ve spend there, I really hope to come back again.... and again and again. I’ve been only one time there, but I hope to come back. Only tell than has no Spa, but is a really luxury one at 1 minute walking. Staff are so so helpful, with car they pick and drop you as you need, don’t charge for it, because they go to village every half or hour. Walking, Pai city center is near, probably around 15 minutes but car is more comfortable and street to go to hotel has no interest. Hotel is located on city but not on center."

Villa Song Saigon: "A serene and lovely start to our holiday"

Review by: Joolsmd | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 3 nights at the beginning of our stay here. Its been said before but this place really does treat you like royalty. We arrived, tired and sticky from two very long flights, and were checked in quickly while sipping cold watermelon juice. Our luggage was whisked upstairs then so were we. We had a lovely large room with a veranda and a view of the Mekong. The first afternoon was spent by the pool, and we even had impeccable service there! We had breakfast included, and could eat as much as we wanted from the menu. They have an excellent selection of both western and Vietnamese breakfasts, so we sampled several during our stay. All delicious. We also appreciated the cocktail happy hour, as well as the free mini bar in the room. It was warm enough during our stay to eat and drink outside, but I noticed an interior dining space if required. The best thing is the boat shuttle service, which handily drops you down town and picks you up, all with no charge. This is an excellent feature as the hotel is a bit out of the main city area. The room was large, clean, and roomy, and the bathroom was well stocked with toiletries and towels. The staff were all lovely, and we even had the manager checking we were happy at one point. It really seemed nothing was too much trouble. It was lovely to just relax without worrying about anything. Highly recommended! Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"
