The Governor’s House: "memorable stay"
Soon as we arrived with our friends from a exhausted flight, the GM take care of us. She invited us on their mini sunset cruise to chilled with some drinks and tapas on the Mekong river. Wonderful. The next day a dinner with a traditional music and apsara dancer organized in the garden surprised our group. The rooms are wonderful decorated with all original antiques and luxery amenities. We decided to short our Siem Reap stay to stay one more night in this feeling home mansion before our flight back. We loved our stay and the very helpful staff. Try the food...Le Calao: "Lovely lunch, perfect service & airconditioned"
"We just had lunch. Ordered a lovely bottle of the house red, a French merlot to accompany our lunch consisting of grilled perch, grilled chicken, duck laarb and an eggplant dip. Service was excellent. The airconditioning helped cool us down on a hot day after visiting Wat Xienthong. Prices are slightly on the high side but now than made up by the delicious food and attentive, friendly and professional service"Supanniga Eating Room: "Delicious lunch in a fabulous setting"
Casual but well thought out setting; more importantly a very satisfying meal! Fresh & tastey; & service was efficient. Few dishes that I saw on menu that I will make a return visit in the near future.Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Annual pilgramage"
"At least once a year we make our way here. We do that because the service is impeccable (no hovering but everything appears exactly when you need it). The food is inventive yet grounded. (Yes, there are things you might call ""molecular"" but they don't abuse it or make it silly) It reflects local culture in interesting ways. (Every year they introduce me to something in Thai cuisine I was completely unaware of. This always results in my seeking it out in street carts or local restaurants later. Khao Soi, Khao Chai. Moo Palo). The win list is brillliant. This is not cheap ( by Thai standards), but would stand up to any NY, London or Singapore 5 start. Do NOT miss this. And stick your neck out if they have a la carte (they didn't this trip - it was a wonderful fixed menu). For example. Pork Blood Chocolate pudding. Sounds scary. It's heavenly. You only live once and that should be well fed."Maduzi Hotel: "beautiful room"
beautiful spacey room espresso machine, free minibar, which is refilled every day. walk in dress room. and the best of all is the great private infinite jacuzzi pool. amenities are special quality made in thailand and their smell fills the whole room. staff was also helpful giving me upgrade to deluxe room.Reverie Siam: "Outstanding! Loved everything about it"
"Amazing service, big and quiet rooms, lots of green, great swimmingpools, beautiful decor, best restaurant in town, great price. This hotel is a hidden gem. They even offer local mobile phones for guests to take when going to town, so they can call the hotel for sending a driver to pick them up. I am 100% happy with this hotel. I highly recommend it."The Island Lodge: "Lovely Resort and Location in Mekong Delta"
Glad we did find this beautiful place in Mekong for a relaxing week end. Location is overlooking Mekong, the Resort itself is welcoming, well decorated with a colonial feel. The Owners are french and run as well the operation with a lot of passion and kindness. Staff are well trained and genuinely smiley. We will be back :).David’s Kitchen: "Fantastic restaurant"
David's Kitchen is a superb restaurant offering exquisite French cuisine and absolutely top-notch service at an affordable price. From the beginning it was clear David and Prom play close attention to detail and do everything possible to provide a warm and personalized dining experience, greeting guests and treating us as friends rather than customers. Undoubtedly one of my best restaurant experiences all around.Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing weekend"
"This has been the best weekend we have experienced since arriving in Sri Lanka 10 months ago. This safari, from the greeting of cold face washer, cold drink and big smiles to the amazing food served at every meal (with attention to detail never experienced before) is by far one of the best experiences. The guides (most with Masters degrees), the chef (waistline is bigger than I started with) and all the behind the scenes means 6-7 star camping. Truly not sure that camping adequately covers. The knowledge of the park, the enthusiasm and the interest taken means this is one of the must do things when visiting Sri Lanka. Thanks Samirya, Pasindu and Praneeth - you are truly amazing. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Heaven on earth"
"Having trekked for six days in the hills, Tiger Mountain Lodge was exactly what we needed. We arrived and were immediately offered refreshing drinks whilst sitting on the veranda looking at the stunning scenery.The view was incredible every single day and it was magical to sit out over breakfast and just see the mountains in the distance. The staff were on another level. They were so attentive, willing to do anything (which included making endless amounts of popcorn) and really professional. They knew exactly when we needed something and were polite and chatty. The rooms themselves were fantastic, the beds really comfy and the views stunning. The bathrooms too were much appreciated and the showers were very welcome after the hills! The food was five star: every day was something different and the breakfast especially wonderful. As a vegetarian, they were very accommodating. (...)It really is a place like nowhere else."
