Slow Villas and Spa: "Sublime level of accommodation on Gili Air"

Review by: MrandMrsDon | Source: Trip Advisor
If your budget allows, this is a no brainer. SLOW is a beautiful experience. The villas are stylishly and luxuriously appointed creating an ambiance rarely seen on Gili Air. The bed was especially comfortable (five star hotel quality) and the private pool and spacious garden added to our memorable stay. Highly recommended - without doubt the BEST accommodation on Gili Air.

Muang La Lodge: "Peaceful place with very accommodating staff"

Review by: Eric W | Source: Trip Advisor
"The staff, premises and rooms make this place wonderful. Staff is extremely accommodating and anticipates every need. You don't ever get ""no"" as an answer. The amount of effort the staff gives is unmatched, especially in such a remote location. Food is great not amazing. They gave me extra portions since I was a big eater which was very kind. The Of Rice and Men excursion was great w an amazing picnic lunch. For our other excursion, Mountain bikes were mediocre but good enough for our ride. Not trails but back dirt roads. We also selected to do a full day hike w a guide. The part we did was great but if you plan on doing a hike make sure you ask some questions and prepare accordingly. We weren't warned until last minute about the potential leeches that would inevitably crawl on us during a certain point in the hike. We ended up not getting that far anyway as we cut our long hike short when we reached an extremely steep area w loose gravel. Getting down would have been too difficult. We are fit and intermediate hikers and it wouldn't have been enjoyable. Overall the Muang La Lodge experience was great. The price is what it is, and I found myself wondering if I could have found a better deal for a similar experience in Laos. Make no mistake, you're definitely in some great hands at the lodge."

Villa Song: "Amazing City experience"

Review by: Debbie P | Source: Trip Advisor
"we had a fantastic stay at the Villa. the staff and Manager were extremely helpful and friendly. we are not city lover so this location was ideal and the speedboat transfer meant we had limited experience of traffic jams. The hotel organized all our tours and there were superb. Would highly recommend this hotel the food was excellent and been only 23 room it did feel you were getting one on one personal service. thank you all for making this the great experience it was."

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Geweldige glamping ervaring!"

Review by: Carmen L | Source: Trip Advisor
De accommodatie ligt iets uit het centrum van Ubud tussen de prachtige rijstvelden. Overdag tot 22:00 is er een gratis shuttle service naar het centrum. Perfect geregeld. De hutjes zijn super mooi en ruim. We zijn zelfs 1 nacht in een luxe tent verbleven met een prive zwembad die uitzicht heeft op de jungle! Heel gaaf! Ontbijt is top! Service is uitstekend! Heerlijk verblijf gehad! Echt aan te raden!! Neem ook een yoga lesje met uitzicht op de rijstvelden. Heerlijk!!

The Island Lodge: "Natural elegance"

Review by: John P | Source: Trip Advisor
The Island Lodge is a luxury property in a natural location. The ambience is unique in the Mekong Delta. The pool, the food, the rooms, the staff, the welcome, the good-bye, the attention to detail in every regard are nothing short of spectacular. This is a 5-star resort in an otherwise humble Delta surrounding. Although the prices are considerably higher than the local competition, the value is definitely there. If you want to pamper yourself in every way, this is your destination in the Mekong Delta. Everything you need is available on the premises. We went on a boat trip to a floating market, and the Lodge provided us with one of their staff to act as our personal guide, without additional cost. Every detail is covered.

The Island Lodge: "Great Place to stay in the Mekong"

Spacious and attractive bungalow room with views over the lovely garden. Great swimming pool overlooking the river and attractive open restaurant and bar. Food is good and reasonably priced with a range of French and Vietnamese dishes. Staff and proprietor are welcoming and friendly

Heritage Suites: "Fantastic find"

Review by: Rdrucker | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a beautiful and quiet boutique hotel. It was a pleasure to return to the serenity each day after sightseeing. Our room was lovely and spacious, even considering that it was set up with two extra beds for our children. Although we didn't use it, the private hot tub and garden were a nice added touch. The pool area was also quite nice. We enjoyed the made to order breakfast, as well as cocktails and dinner one evening. We were able to arrange for sightseeing excursions through the hotel that were absolutely amazing, particularly the sunrise over Angkor Wat that we were able to enjoy in complete solitude thanks to our phenomenal guide. Book this hotel - you will not be disappointed!

Tugu Lombok: "Outstanding and unique!"

Review by: Lola66A | Source: tripadvisor.com
We recently enjoyed a three day stay in a Bhagavat Gita suite (107) filled with antiques, artwork and the biggest most comfortable bed we have ever slept in! The service was impeccable and the food wonderful. Make sure you have a beach dinner one night - just magic. The outdoor shower is also amazing! I would highly recommend a stay here and we certainly hope to go back.

muang la: "Special property is a special part of Laos"

Review by: pam10000 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"The resort is beautiful. Each detail has been well thought out. The staff is professional and wonderfully trained. The property is maintained well and offers ""serious"" food - all beautifully presented. My cottage/room was lovely. I enjoyed everything about the property and would highly recommend a visit. There is a great deal to do in the area and they staff have beautifully organized excursions on which you take a picnic lunch. Hair dryer, robe, safe in room, great laundry service, and great service in general - the staff are very sweet, kind, and professional. Again, each detail is beautiful and appropriate."

Inle Princess Resort: "An unmissable place"

Review by: PretoriaSussex | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a wonderful experience. Fabulous setting, very high standard of accommodation with many little extras such as fruit and biscuits in the room, a bird book and binoculars for our use. Charming, helpful staff, good food on a terrace overlooking the lake. We were sad to leave.
