Manda De Laos: "Excellent Lao Food Overlooking Water Lilies"
What a treat to eat a dinner here overlooking the Lily Pond! I got the Luang Prabang pork sausage to start and then the duck with tamarind sauce, both of which are excellent. They had a wide variety of wines and cocktails as well to complement your meal. Definitely worth a stop if you are a foodie in Luang Prabang!MesaStila: "Amazing stay"
I just returned from Asia and spend a wonderful night in this hotel. I arrived in Semarang airport which is about 90 minutes away. Transfer was perfect and car comfortable. Driver very nice. Amazing driveway to hotel. Once we arrived I checked in overlooking this lovely property. Room was very large and comfortable . Bed was huge and so was the bathtub. I had lunch in their open air restaurant . There is a lot to do in and around the hotel. The spa is great and I had a fabulous 2 hour treatment . Dinner was also very good with a good selection of wine . Next morning I did the coffee plantation tour with one of their lovely staff. All was perfect ! Room, food and service. I would come back for sure .Villa Mathis: "Hotel de charme"
"Un moment de calme et de charme . Une de nos meilleures étapes pendant notre voyage à Bali. Nous avions la Suite Rizière avec une belle terrasse une trés grande salle de bain, tout le confort et le charme balinais. Chaque Villa possède plusieurs chambres ( max 5) donc une grande intimité. Chaque villa a un grand jardin et une piscine. LE charme des rizières à 5mns des plages. Allez y les yeux fermés Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"The Island Lodge: "Feeling at home in Mekong Delta …"
"Amazing place for staying 2 or 3 nights at the end of your trip in Viet Nam. After visiting Viet Nam from Hanoi in the north to Saigon in the South, no better place to relax and discover Mekong Delta. You are here in the middle of nowhere at just 1h30 mn from the crowded Saigon. Nice bicycle tour in the coconuts plantation, great cruise in the hidden river. The place is peacefull and romantic. The owners Michel and Francoise will welcome you ""at home"". Personnalized check-in with fresh fruit juice cocktail served with home made canapes, ""A la carte"" breafast for starting your relaxing days here. The lodge has only 12 rooms including bungalows in the garden and river view rooms on the main building for hugge panorama. The owners are beside you to share their passion for this region to make you feel home before flying back to your country... For us living in Saigon, no better place so near for relaxing on weekends..."Tugu Lombok: "Full of character and charm"
"What a unique and characterful hotel! The architecture and decor is completely authentic and brimming with stunning antiques and artefacts. The whole experience was so wonderfully relaxing - from the warm welcome and complimentary massage to the fresh seafood dinner on the beach! The sea was so calm - perfect to try out paddle boarding and kayaking. There was nothing to fault... friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, amazingly comfortable bed, stunning outdoor bath and private pool, spacious grounds and a beautiful white sandy beach for long walks. I would not hesitate to recommend The Tugu Lombok to anyone who is tired of large and impersonal hotels."Villa Mathis: "Le paradis"
Nous n'aurions pas pu imaginer meilleur découverte pour cette première nuit à Bali.un concept magnifique,le cadre exceptionnel,le personnel discret mais toujours là quand il faut,quel bonheur pour ce premier réveil au paradis.Un grand merci à Bruno pour ce dîner romantique aux chandelles pour notre voyage de noces,malheureusement,nous n'avons pu te remercier directement.et merci de nous avoir confiés ensuite à Karine à Mathis Retreat.une chose est certaine,nous serons vite de retour au paradis.Supanniga Cruise: "Fantastic boutique dinner cruise experience"
"We booked the SC as a birthday celebration whilst family were visiting Bangkok (4 adults in total). We booked the Dinner Champagne Tattinger Cruise package which offers a fantastic selection of various dishes following a flute of Tattinger upon boarding. As five-year residents of Bangkok, we had always wanted to experience a Chao Phraya dinner cruise, but had no intention of joining the buffet-style, neon-light-laden barges with over 500 other ""diners"" queing and elbowing our way around a floating eye-sore. In contrast, the SC setup is a very small, boutique, and well-managed operation, with a limited number of diners in a quiet and intimate setting. The top deck offers great uninterrupted views of the passing river and buildings on the banks. The route takes in many of the river's highlights including The Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, as well as some of the quieter stretches south of Taksin Bridge. The table service was very attentive, professional (but relaxed) and prompt - there is quite a substantial list of servings to get through in the two hour experience, but the portions are tasty and appropriate. Being fans of the Bangkok outlets of Supanigga, we are aware of the seafood-orientation of the menu, and there was a bit of spice involved in a few dishes, but it is all very nice and very well prepared given the limitations on kitchen (being on a small boat!). The departure from River City is very convenient and well-managed (with booking confirmation phone call earlier in the day). Being able to park in the River City complex is very helpful. We were very excited to see the launch of this endeavour by Supanigga and were very happy and satisfied (and full!) that we chose it for a special occasion. We all thoroughly recommend the experience, and hope to return to take it all in again in the near future."VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Affordable luxury"
"What a way to end our engagement holiday. Stunning venue, amazing food, staff go over and above to make sure you every need is met. A wonderful place to relax from the hustle and bustle of HCMC! We were given a free late check-out which was much appreciated given our long-haul flight didn't leave until 9 pm the next night. Thank you so much! "Villa Mathis: "Excellent Villa, total luxury and fabulous helpful friendly staff – the best"
"We stayed as a family group of 4 adults. The rooms and layout are unique, not like any hotel I have stayed in. We had our own private chill out area and pool, total luxury, very beautiful tucked away in the gardens. very secluded but with access to main hotel pool and restaurant area. The staff were magnificent and the rooms lavishly designed, spacious with lovely bathrooms, very special. This is a honeymoon quality destination."Maison Polanka: "The perfect retreat"
This hotel is amazing, I can't wait to visit again. A little oasis in a beautiful country. The Khmer house was so beautiful. The hotel pays super attention to all the small details that make your stay so perfect. Food, ambience, staff all amazing, you really couldn't wish for more! Thanks Cathy, Natalie and all the staff for an amazing retreat!
