The River Resort: "Wonderful surprise"

Review by: John G | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed several days at The River Resort. About as nice an experience as one could imagine. Food terrific, staff wonderful, rooms very comfortable... a great place to stay if you are visiting southern Laos. This is a unique and special resort, one that you won't regret.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Secluded Paradise in a Bustling City"

Review by: AndraYo | Source: Trip Advisor
"Once you enter through the gates, a fairytale world emerges. Around every corner another surprise awaits, orchards by our front gate, or kittens sleeping under the bench, the beautiful sunroom. The commissioned pictures are very accurate. My daughter feel in love with mangosteen fruits, first time we tasted them! Ask Ms. Atom (excellent English) to open the book store for browsing. The cookbook from the Villas' restaurant is a MUST buy--not only for the royal family's cooking recipes but the stunning pictures, an absolutely wonderful souvenir!"

Reverie Siam: "Wonderful hotel"

Review by: Hilary S | Source: Trip Advisor
"I'm still dreaming of going back here. We had an absolutely fabulous time; the space was beautiful, service impeccable and couldn't have asked for anything more. We stayed in one of the separate houses and it was lovely; everything decorated nicely, well maintained and spacious. The breakfast was the best in Thailand. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. We ate several times in the restaurant and had great food every time. Honestly, this was the best hotel we stayed at during our trip and we would go back to Pai just to visit again."

Manda De Laos: "Superb setting and attentive staff"

Review by: plh4kids | Source: Trip Advisor
My wife and I ate there last night and were thoroughly impressed by the attentive staff and the quality of the food. Presentation was beyond anything you see in Canada and American. Prices are a little high by Laos standards but a bargain compared to equal caliber restaurants in the West. If you are in this quaint town.....it’s a must visit.

Amata Lanna: "So happy we stayed here!"

Review by: L L C | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were two couples visiting Chiang Mai for a weekend. Two of us were visiting from NYC and Philadelphia, and two were joining us from Bangkok. I chose Amata Lanna after reading the great reveiws on TA but it surpassed my expectations. It is a small boutique hotel with great charm. Who wants to stay and a standard big chain hotel when you can get a great flavor for the area and the people by staying at a place where they know you by name and offer you really personal care? We had two double deluxe rooms on the second floor, each with a King bed and four poster with mosquito netting. The decor of the hotel is old and traditional, but there is thoroughly modern plumbing and air-conditioning. An overhead rain shower stall with good hot water and pressure, as well as a separate beautiful bathtub (which we did not use). The room is spacious and the A/C is excellent. An in room safe was large enough to keep a laptop. Breakfasts were served in the courtyard (there are many fans scattered around so it is comfortable). There was a cooked-to-order menu with Western selections and Eastern selections (delicious congee with pork or shrimp!) as well as a beautiful buffet of fresh peeled and cut fruits AND the most delicious mango sticky rice I've had. And I have tried a lot! This alone gave me so much joy! Yumi especially took great care of us, helping us arrange transportation and suggesting wonderful spas where we indulged in lovely massages. When one of our party became ill and required hospitalization, the entire staff mobilized to help us. They were understnding and gracious and allowed us to adjust our stay to accommodate our needs. Everyone always had a smile on their face for us and I genuinely felt very cared for there. I have neglected to name some of the other staff- Alan, a young woman who recommended the nearby spa, another woman who had an injured eye during our stay - all of them looked out for our every need. I hope we made it clear to them how much we appreciated all their efforts. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a boutique-type of hotel which melds charm and modern conveniences. But overall, it is the staff that make this a wonderful place to stay!!"

Rachamankha: "Surrounded by tasteful chinese art"

Review by: jonomad1 | Source: Trip Advisor
Its hard to imagine that this secret retreat is in the heart of Chaing Mai - The hotel is absolutely gorgeous - exquisite - so charming - the furniture is to die for - so tasteful - my husband and I adored our stay there - and because it was so central - we were able to visit the market by foot just 5 mins away. What a gem this place is - and I loved the symmetry - wow just awesome. Food was fab - and every afternoon my hubby and I would just sit and drink tea and soak it all in. Loved the place

The Village House: "Comfortable place"

Review by: zoyapetrova | Source: tripadvisor.com
We loved the hotel. Quiet, comfortable place where you can really relax from the worries. Fine cuisine! The chef prepared a special diet menus at our request. Competent and responsive staff. Especially impressed by the good Aliffa. We made ​​friends with her. She is very friendly and hospitable answered all our questions, even with our incomprehensible English. How nice it was to see her friendly smile! Our conversations have helped us to better understand and love Malaysia. We will recommend your hotel to our friends.

MesaStila: "WONDERFUL STAY"

Review by: Jakaria Y | Source: Trip Advisor
"It might be my very first time reviewing the hotels, actually i planned long away ago but now it just happening. Well, i stayed here with Mesastilla Peak Challange's voucher. I won the race for 11K last year. I stayed with my girlfrined during our anniversary, we love all the way this hotel offered. Love the room (very spacious). The services. The daily activities (membatik, evening tea, back massage, etc). The view was fantastic. One thing that we never forget is ""Reception"" we forget her name, perhaps Ms. Vita... sorry we couldn't remember. She was did a great job. Well explain about the hotel facilities. Warm smile, humble. She could be have a good career. Me and my girl friend are so happy. Thank you mesastilla, i hope i can coming back soon!"

The staff is attentive and pampers you.. The rooms are big and perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure around Ubud..
