Villa Song Saigon: "Great Villa Song Sai Gon"
Villa Song SaiGon set up nearby the waterfront was a great and beautiful spot on SaiGon river. This villa has a very nice pool which is long and large enough to go swim and relaxing. My daughter and my wife loved it. We had great time being with the whole family on vacation. My daughter is 8 years old said she loved the pool very much where she was able to learn how to swim. We had a raining swimming day in the pool that we had never had before. What a Nice and great memory we had ! The restaurant facing right on the river which gave a very cooling breezing. Dinner was great. The F&B manager was very nice guy. Breakfast is OK with a la cart food choice. Receptionist were very welcoming ! Bellmen were good who took care our family well. This villa has scheduled shuttle boat on Saigon River where you can view the city at the sunset and nightlight city when in dark.Dewakan: "Fine dining with lots of local flavours, something really different"
"Inexpensive ingredients but the amount of effort put in to make it look so fine. Worth the dining experience. Unlike the usual Western style where you get rosemary / fennel / thyme, we get typical ingredients that can be found in Asian dishes, eg. cumin, ulam, green curry paste, local flowers. The 5 courses lasted from 8pm till midnight and staffs were already tired by then. It was so obvious we could tell it from their expressions and all. Well I feel bad for making them stay up, but then again, we don't decide when the dishes should come out so..... either buck up on serving time or.... improve on being professional even if it's till late. Don't get me wrong about service, they are pretty good in that, taking extra time to explain to us, repeating when we were a little too chatty about it. They are nice people, students learning I believe. Maybe it's better to be there earlier so it could end by 11."Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Superb place , fantastic cause"
Inle Heritage hotel is one of the best boutique hotels in Myanmar. Not only offers superb accommodation (only six stilt bungalows for the guests) in a beautiful environment, but the owner offers every year free courses related to tourism industry to Burmese students from the area. The stuff was sweet and helpful , most of them graduates from hotel's academy. They also produce their own vegetables which they use in the restaurant. By staying here, you also contribute to local community. Highly recommended!The River Resort: "Wunderschön"
Es geht nicht besser. Eine wunderschöne Anlage. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im ersten Stock mit Mekongblick. Unser Zimmer war geräumig und praktisch eingerichtet. Der Boden hätte etwas sauberer sein können. Vielleicht wurde nicht feucht gewischt? Bei unserem Einzug waren die Fächer recht staubig. Wir haben sie vor dem Einräumen ausgewischt. Der Service war ansonsten einwandfrei. Gerade auch im Restaurant. Die beiden Pools sind sehr schön, es sind ausreichend viele Liegen vorhanden.4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Wonderful eco-lodge"
"It was an awesome experience to stay in this lodge and wake up every day to jump from the bed to the river in the middle of the rainforest. The landscape is beautiful. And the installations of the hotel are perfectly adapted to it and takes care about the environment. To be able to be in bed and listen all the jungle sounds during the night is just amazing. Please, take a kayak or a surfboard and see the sunset. This lodge totally worth our 5 hours road trip....It has an amazing location, installations and lovely staff! We did all the tours with the hotel, and all the team and guides were really nice. We had a great time. We visited the falls, kayak some kms back, and even saw fireflies on the sunset cruise. Kayaks, surfboards, books, board games are always available. They prepared a vegetarian menu for me. The food was nice every single day. They fixed our transfers from PP and then to Sihanoukville with nice drivers and cars, and check on us all the time. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Book this safari experience!"
"Everything about our experience was fabulous. We have stayed in some pretty swanky places on this holiday but the food served to us out of a jungle kitchen was the best. The guys were helpful and really fun to be with. We were lucky enough to see a huge male leopard and lots of other amazing animals. We stayed in the luxury air conditioned tent - my best sleep of the holiday. Everything had been thought of. I can not recommend them more highly. Other companies have tried to copy but failed."Yandabo Home: "Surprinsingly great"
"3 hrs down the Irrawaddy from Mandalay, what a wonderful surprise to discover, just on the bank of the river, in a tiny village known for its pottery artisans, this beautiful Yandabo Home. Neat design, spacious room, view over the river, great cuisine and warm friendly staff offering a discreet and attentive service. Unexpected in this part of Myanmar. A place recommended for travelers who searching the authentic beauty of Burma."Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Magnificent hotel experience in Nepal"
Beautiful. Exceptional level 10 service. To die for views! Quiet get away - absolutely worth the uphill trek to experience. Loved everything about it and will absolutely return next trip to Nepal! Marcus and his team will make you feel welcome, and you will be spoiled!Amata Lanna: "Just Perfect"
I cannot say enough about the property and the staff. It is incredibly beautiful and the team are BEYOND kind and accommodating. The hotel is small (14 rooms I believe) and has lovely teak wood accents - a great way to enjoy something off the beaten path. The true jewel of this hotel is the staff !!!Arumdalu: "Unearthly beautiful destination not far from the heart of Indonesia"
"I have no complain, instead a full satisfaction. Arumdalu resort is among the best private resorts I've stayed in a while. I would recommend visitors to experience sunrise and sunsets in the area of Arumdalu, it was astonishingly breathtaking. Also, I want to recommend you to try the food at their restaurant. The food offered was the best I've tasted around. Simply because they source the food locally, and some they even have their own farm to grow their ingredients. So fresh. Oh, and the most important part of all is the room. What I like about the room the most is that it lets a lot of natural light comes through the room. The light makes it so well lit and creates beautiful ambience during daytime and warm ambience during your night sleep. Very nice touch. TO get to Arumdalu is not far. around an hour by plane to Belitung (island where Arumdalu is located), and another hour by car from the airport. I would easily recommend this resort to anyone or any couple who would like a completely unique getaway and escape from the crowded and boring Jakarta. This is where you need to go! Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"
