Review by: sarahreid-11 | Source: Trip Advisor
"What a treat ! Such a beautiful ,charming boutique hotel. We stayed here for 3 nights . Everything about this hotel has attention to detail. Our room was so comfortable, could find no fault. We could walk everywhere we needed to go. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We were out for most of the days but we loved going back to our hotel. I would highly recommend to stay here . Treat yourself ."

Le Passe-Temps: "Little French Paradise"

Review by: Kenjical | Source: Trip Advisor
"During out stay in a close lodging we came here regularly for family lunch and dining by the beach in this little paradise. Very nice food clearly ahead of anything around with variety. Green curry - my benchmark - is very well cooked. Delicious Paneng and TKK. Warm and friendly service. Kids friendly - can spend hours chasing hermit crabs next to you without bothering. Beach and horizon view at high tide is the cliche you are looking for, quietly sipping your chilled Chardonnay while waiting for your starter of fresh spring rolls, feet in the sand and sound of waves in the ears. Also spent Xmas Dinner. Nice buffet in family spirit in a welcoming atmosphere. For those who: - look for a nice lunch/dinner in Krabi far from the crowd. - have a sense of elite and exclusivity without superfluous sophistication. - are not afraid of being surrounded by (quiet and not too vocal) French. - don't mind a slight communautarian skew - are OK to pay more to get more. Still overall very reasonable."

Villa Song Saigon: "Saigon sanctuary"

Review by: SP-Teasdale | Source: tripadvisor.com
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.

Misool Eco Resort: "Paradise"

Review by: Anne H | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Raja Ampat is an unspoiled jewel in Indonesia’s crown. It offers mile after mile of unspoiled natural beauty with its hundreds of mushroom islands and magnificent marine life . It had a sea of never ending spectacular coral which Australians say far exceeds the Great Barrier Reef. I shall return soon to experience the excellent hospitality of the Papuans."

The Island Lodge: "The perfect place to stay in the Mekong Delta"

Review by: PHWalker | Source: Trip Advisor
Having been to Vietnam before i wasn't looking to explore but it must be said that Island Lodge would be the perfect place to explore the Mekong Delta from, everything is literally on your doorstep when staying here. I was looking for a quiet place to work and relax and it is perfect for this too. Set on an island facing the Mekong, the property has the feel of a grand home with warm, friendly and discreet staff on hand when required. Such a peaceful spot, time seems to slow down here, Ideal to catch up on some work or to just relax with a good friend or a good book. And I never tired of watching the boats on the Mekong from the balcony of my room. The perfect place for a city break, the perfect place to explore the Mekong delta from and the perfect place just to relax and unwind. If you are heading to Saigon make time for a few days here. Thank-you Michel and the team for making us feel so at home. See you again sometime soon I hope.

Villa Song Saigon: "Must stay"

Review by: t0kid0ki | Source: Trip Advisor
"I had a chance to come across this hotel as I was sourcing an outdoor venue for a corporate event. Everyone at Villa Song was very helpful with our event. For those looking for a place to have an outdoor wedding, look no further - Villa Song is the place to go to! I had the chance to stay there for a night and I regretted as it's too short!!! I will definitely be back! The room is huge and the bed is very comfortable. They have a great restaurant that is just by the Saigon river that offers 2 completely different views for day and night. Food is awesome as well and you have the choice of either Vietnamese or Western - both are great. They have a great pool as well - though they don't offer any view but they have make the pool very cosy. Just a look at the pool and you will want to stay there. Spa was great too! I had a 75min massage - price is cheaper than the 5-star hotels in District 1. Although the location is at District 2, it is not far from other places. I would recommend staying here for 1-2N for some quiet moments before staying at the downtown area. Just a note that I don't think there is any elevator. Thus if you have problems walking up the stairs, you can request for rooms that are at the ground level."

David’s Kitchen: "Amazing food and excellent service"

Review by: Richard L | Source: Trip Advisor
"My fiancee and I came to David's Kitchen for our 5 year anniversary. The food was some of the highest quality food that I've ever had. They got all of the details right and the service was so remarkable. David greeted us as soon as we entered the restaurant and checked up on us several times throughout the meal. The rest of the staff was respectful and very attentive as well. We both got the set meals and could not be be happier. The Japanese pumpkin soup and grilled duck breast were my favorites. Since it was our anniversary, David's Kitchen went above and beyond to make it special - with decorated desserts and even a bouquet of flowers for my fiancee. We'll definitely be back when we return to Chiang Mai. Thank you David and Prom for such a memorable experience!"

Manukan Island Resort: "Dive & Stay Package"

Review by: West Virgineth B | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed at this resort as part of our Scuba Diving + Stay package. We really love the island and also our Villa! Our villa is on the second floor with a nice beach view. Room is spacious with complete amenities. We don't mind the weak internet connection as we connected with nature more! We also love the local foods offered in their restaurants. As for their staff, they are accommodating and prompt on addressing our requests.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful mansion with excellent staff"

Review by: BooSingapore | Source: Trip Advisor
"This place is really worth staying if you are in Penang and love a place with old charm and character. Breakfast was lovely and staff very friendly and attentive. Once you cross the threshold you will feel transported back in time. Considering that it's an old structure , they have done their best in restoring it back to its glory days. Stayed December 2016, traveled with friends"
