Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Total paradise and relaxation exceeding expectations"

"This was our first visit to this amazing resort. The journey there, from the welcoming sign at the airport, to a quick efficient drive to our boat to the bay, exceeded our expectations. The arrival view was mesmerising: a wide open bay with a vast long sandy beach with a little hut for lunchtime and a yoga sala, and of course dense nature. Massi, the manager, embodied true professionalism. He welcomed us to our beautiful house Baan Tamarind and gave us thorough details about the resort's amenities. Our house was beyond our expectations. With two stunning bedrooms both with an amazing view of the sea, and stunningly designed outdoor bathrooms, we also had an amazing living space upstairs as a canope amongst trees with a sunset view everyday! The food was probably the peak of the stay. The Club House has been renovated in a spacious way that makes you feel at home away from the busy city life. There is a new menu EVERYDAY (something rare in the hotel industry where after a few days, you run out of culinary options) with completely different meals - each very distinct and deliciously made at defying prices for the quality. The staff constantly walks around with smiles on their faces and are always available if you have an inquiry. The morning buffet and cooked meals are my favorite. You get to sit outside or inside (your choice, although I recommend outside due to the beautiful sea view) and make your own freshly squeezed juice. They have an amazing tea selection and of course the fruits are exquisite. I specially recommend their Thai omelette with rice - a must have during your stay, truly a taste of Thailand! I cannot describe the joy I felt when going to get massages. Porn and Poy are possibly the kindest ladies and although they may seem gentle based on their graciousness, their hands work wonders. I have had back problems for quite some time and honestly, felt rejuvenated every time I came out of the massage sala! The Thai massage is a must. In all, the hotel was anything I could have asked for. You are truly immersed in nature, at night hearing the strangest most relaxing sounds from this rich ecosystem to walking on their vast empty white sand beach with a light breeze brushing against you in the bright sun. Room Tip: Sea front views are the most rewarding due to the proximity to the beach and stunning view!"

Villa Song: "Colonial Mansion on the Saigon River"

Just by walking into this hotel, you immediately pick up the atmosphere and know that this is going to be a great experience - and so it proved. All the staff are super efficient and welcoming. Set in a quiet area of HCMC away from the madness and traffic of the city. The hotel speedboat is an interesting and quick way to travel to/from the centre. Breakfast taken at a table overlooking the Saigon River is a great experience. The food quality is excellent. Well done to all at Villa Song!

Villa Song Saigon: "Magic amongst the Mayhem"

"Villa Song is on the river away from the manic mayhem of Saigon, we loved it. I would not liked to have stay in Saigon itself, its very noisy, dirty and smelly at Villa Song we had the best of both worlds. A boat takes guest back and forth to the city so its easy to get to any of the sights fairly easily. It suitated in an area that has a number of International Schools and there are some reasonalbe resturants and and shop. We chose to eat at the hotel as we were only there for three nights and it was a joy to sit by the river and watch life go by. The food was delicious and resonably priced for good quality fare. Our room had a small balcony and was very comfortable. Breakfast was delcious and plentiful. An excellent stay."

The River Resort: "Great hotel"

This is a great place and we really enjoy our stay here. The hotel is very nice with amazing river view from all rooms. breakfast is included with many options. Staff is very professional and attentive with very good English

Tugu Malang: "Relax in luxury"

For a long weekend we traveled to Malang and Mt. Bromo. Hotel Tugu was very well maintained, but the superb service from absolutely the best Indonesian staff. All the meals were presented artfully with an excellent balance of spices. We attended the once monthly cultural dinner with a Central Javanese tale told with music and dance. It was a great experience. The couples 4 hour spa and romantic dinner was a great way to relax on our final full day in paradise. Couple you must stay here if you visit Malang!

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Beautiful views over cocktails"

"My party and I decided to stop by Seeds to watch the sun set over the lake. It was a completely gorgeous view, and we enjoyed several cocktails and appetizers during. I was not able to try the dining menu food as we were going to a different spot for dinner. I will say, this spot is very Euro-centric, so if you are looking for a ""local haunt"" this isn't it. However, it you want to enjoy a sit-down, white table-clothed restaurant, then this is your spot. The menu was moderately-to-expensively priced, but the views and ambiance are well worth it. I'd recommend going before the sunsets in order to watch the sky change. We stayed a little afterwards out on the deck, and I was eaten alive by mosquitoes (bring your spray!). While we were there, they had just opened their little cocoon tree house for small dinner parties. Next time I take a group, I will definitely be booking that!"

Inle Princess Resort: "Juste la perfection"

"Hôtel au charme fou !! Un rêve éveillé ! Cette arrivée moteur coupé avec l'aide d'un pagayeur traditionnel pris au passage à l'approche de l'hôtel ! C juste magique !! Personnel très gentil ! Nous avions un bungalow sur pilotis avec vue sur le lac on recommande fortement !! Nous avons eu la chance d'y passer 4 nuits et le bungalow est du bon côté pour le coucher de soleil donc là pareil de la magie tous les soirs le bonheur !! Hotel à recommander vivement ! Déjà si vous avez la chance de venir au lac inle c déjà top mais dormir au inle princess resort est une grande chance ! Un vrai paradis nous étions enchantés ! Petits déjeuners parfaits comme le reste ! Et là pareil la vue sur le lac en mangeant le matin est un bonheur à l'état pur !! Que de superlatifs !! Les repas le soir sont très bien aussi avec des prix européens ! Nous sommes allés manger un soir en ville mais le taxi coûte 25$ donc au final après nous sommes restés tranquillou à l'hôtel ! Voilà de magnifiques souvenirs allez y !! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Fantastic experience"

"We had a three-night stay at the camp and we couldn't recommend it more. We saw elephants, crocodiles, mongoose, wild boar, jungle cats and, most importantly, leopards! Saj is an absolutely brilliant guide, who has fantastic knowledge about all of Sri Lanka's animals and birds, and knew exactly where to go to find the leopards. We saw a huge male being charged by a water buffalo and a female relaxing in a tree. All the staff are great and the food is fantastic – my husband was in curry heaven! We loved staying in the tent too and showering outdoors. All in all, a wonderful experience. "

Tugu Bali: "Amazing"

"What a superb property. Only 21 rooms, built on wooden structures and with great ethnic feel. The service is amazing and so is the food. There is direct access to the beach and the beach side garden is great to lounge in with tonnes of space. At night dinner can be served in this garden. Try it. The place is full of antique statues and is a photographers delight. The property is flush with greenery and water bodies. Loved it."
