The River Resort: "haut de gamme"
"Le site est magnifique, lors de notre séjour (mi juillet) les jardiniers plantaient le riz dans les rizières, le jardin est super bien entretenu, les fleurs abondantes…. tout cela donne un cachet incroyable à l'hôtel et vous plonge immédiatement dans un petit cocon les bungalows sont luxueux , nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un bungalow vue sur le mekong alors que nous avions réservé un bungalow jardin et c'est vrai que la vue est époustouflante… on ne se lasse pas de regarder passer le fleuve (qui monte monte en cette saison) et les pêcheurs. Le bungalow est super équipé: 2 douches dont une en extérieur, literie d'excellente qualité, peignoirs, chaussons, parapluies, café, climatisation optimale, porte moustiquaire (parce que les insectes aussi se sentent bien ici)….. nos filles logeaient à l'étage et nous au rez de chaussée, il faut sortir et contourner à chaque fois le bâtiment pour rejoindre l'autre chambre.. un peu plus long pour nous mais ce qui prouve le côté intimiste de chaque chambre les piscines à débordements se trouvent le long du mekong… de nouveau cadre incroyable les prix sont plus élevés qu'ailleurs, mais le standing est également plus élevé sachez juste que l hôtel est un peu isolé si ce n'est le vieux champasak que nous avons fait en vélo (prêtés par l'hôtel), c'est donc un hôtel qui se démarque par son côté cocon, calme et sérénité. ceux qui cherchent l'animation tonitruante n'y trouveront donc pas leur goût"THE ISLAND LODGE: "Great time in “l’ile de la licorne"
"We really had great time in Island Lodge. It deserves its name of ""secret retreat"". The location is amazing and totally surprising. The hosts really welcoming. They have decorated all the rooms and hotel with great taste. We highly recommend the boat and bike tour that give you unique experience of Mekong Delta. The homemade food is delicious and worths also the trip. Perfect getaway from Saigon...book quick there is not a lot of rooms! "Samanea Beach Resort: "Incredible Get-Away"
I absolutely love this place. The setting is perfect for a quiet get away. The landscaping is immaculate and pier is such a perfect place to sit and relax. Even though the ocean is not really swimmable, the man-made beach is great. There is is a lot of care and attention put into this place and I can't wait to go backSatri House: "An Oasis of Calm"
"I must say that when we first arrived very tired after 24 hours of travelling my wife and l wondered where we were. It was dark and the hotel is just off the main road and we could not see the hotel.However on entering the hotel we were delighted with our choice.The staff were extremely helpful and the room was one of the nicest and comfortable rooms we have stayed in The whole hotel and rooms had wonderful objet d'art which added to the ambience. The restaurant was a separate building with outside verandas . We had 2 evening meals and breakfasts during our stay.The food was very well prepared and delicious although the restaurant lacked atmosphere ,most probably because we were out of season. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the centre of town but there were plenty of tuk tuks There are two swimming pools which when we visited in April were very necessary due to the high temperature 40 plus. We didn't want to leave.A delightful hotel"Mie Cafe: "Sophisticated dining"
This charming restaurant ticks all the boxes. Service is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable, the food is local but with a modern twist, and beautifully presented, and the setting is in a pretty garden. The tonle sap fish salad, and the frozen lime pie were particularly good.4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Paradise!"
A bit of a trek to get there, but well worth it. We would certainly like to go back. Luxurious tents, everything was beautifuly clean. People so welcoming, very friendly and good fun. Food was excellent and served in a lovely restaurant. Woke up every morning to see the river, the forest behind and know we were in for a great day. Trips daily if you want to go. Really recomment the waterfall and kayaking around the mangroves.Labyrinth: "Great Singaporean influences"
I like how the menu is deisgned with our local food in mind. Most of the food executed were excellent. Wines were a little dissapointing though.Satri House: "Ein Ort zum Verweilen"
"Ein wunderschöner Ort, den wir vier Tage lang genossen haben. Das war nach der langen Reise der ideale Einstieg für Laos. Von hier aus kann man die alte Königsstadt Luang Prabang erkunden - und kehrt gerne wieder zurück. Das historische Haus mit seinem zauberhaften Garten, den Pools, der Bar und dem sehr guten Restaurant ist nach den Besichtigungstagen eine Oase der Entspannung. Sehr freundlicher Service. Alles sehr geschmackvoll, und wir haben den Fernseher nicht vermisst. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"David’s Kitchen: "Wow, what a fabulous French cuisine restaurant. Food and service excellent"
Visited David's Kitchen with friends and was pleasantly surprised at the ambience of the restaurant. You could not get any better food and service in Paris itself. This restaurant is a must if you are visiting Chiang Mai.Villa Song Saigon: "Saigon sanctuary"
this elegant and friendly three story beauty is a haven of peace in a hectic city. Staff are delightful and go out of their way to remember you and meet your every need . Breakfasting right on the Saigon river is a great way to start any day.
