4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Quirky, fun place to stay"

Review by: ian B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Spent 3 nights at Four Rivers in early May. We really felt that we were embarking on something special when we were collected by boat for our transfer to the Lodge and we were not disappointed. The accommodation, in tents is wonderful, it is spacious and well furnished. The bathroom is large with an amazing wooden shower tub! Fans attempt to keep the tents cool and were reasonably effective considering how hot it was. The staff were without fail friendly, courteous and kind. Nothing was too much, my wife happened to mention to the restaurant manager that she would like to try a Cambodian speciality that was not on the menu. An hour later the meal had been cooked for her and was superb. That seemed to be the way the Lodge worked, it was a case of just ask and well do our best to provide. There is a local guy, born on the island opposite the Lodge, who is the tour guide. He deserves a special mention as he provided a real touch of magic to our stay. We went on an early morning hike, a river trip to a fishing village where we also kayaked through the mangroves and a boat trip to see fireflies. He is so knowledgable and great fun to be with but so caring and polite. This is a great place to stay and well worth the 4 hour journey from Phnom Penh."

4 rivers: "Beautiful place to stay!"

"A very nice place to relax and do some tours, extremely friendly and helpful staff. The tents are great, they offer good facilities, and all come with an awesome view of the river and the most amazing sunset. It's definitely not cheap but well worth the money! "

Sea Dance Resort: "Quiet Oasis with 5 star service"

Review by: Starz C | Source: Trip Advisor
A Gem of the island nestled in the Choeng Mon area of Koh Samui with stylish accommodation and excellent friendly customer service. The bungalows are set within well designed, maintained and manicured tropical gardens with a beautiful pool and their signature restaurant 'Sea Salt' serving mouth watering thai dishes beside a secluded almost private beach with some great snorkelling amongst the corals just offshore.

Villa Song Saigon: "Superb!"

Review by: Anna_Dublin_BLR | Source: tripadvisor.com
Wow! I don't even know where to start! It was the lap of luxury. It oozed style, chic and elegance. The large French colonial style fans in the rooms and hallways created a wonderful atmosphere. Our room was large and stylish. The swimming pool area was immaculately clean and well attended with constant supplies of ice water. The breakfast was absolutely exceptional. We were looked after by Freddie who put a lot of effort and personal touch into serving us. Regular speed boat free shuttle into the city centre means you are just minutes from the buzz of Ho Chi Minh. I would definitely recommend this hotel

Reverie Siam: "Chilled out elegance and locally sourced food"

Review by: Janiew77 | Source: Trip Advisor
I loved our stay here - the pool, the rooms (upgraded not once, but twice!), the wonderful staff and service - this is a romantic and nostalgic resort nestling in the mountains in the town of Pai. Pai itself has changed a lot and become more touristy over the years, but staying here gives you a feeling of being cocooned in time and luxury. The rooms are beautiful with an old colonial feel, and the saltwater infinity pool looks out to the mountains. Often we were the only people in it. The staff were unfailingly helpful, nothing was to much trouble. The food is amazing!!!! The chef really knows his stuff, and sources local produce. We were supposed to stay two nights at the start of a two week stay in the area, but once we found this place my partner wouldn't let us leave :-) I'd definitely go back to this dreamy place whenever I could..... (travelled May 2015 but option to date didn't go back that far)

Amata Lanna: "Perfect"

Review by: Sopp | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed here 3 nights in January & it was lovely in every way. The staff were so helpful, the rooms lovely and the bed very comfy. It's close to the road and there is some noise from that in the morning, but it's otherwise very peaceful. Breakfast was good. No complaints, except the endless rain, but I can remember blame the hotel for the weather.

Tugu Lombok: "The best hotel I have stayed at by far"

Review by: Indigo C | Source: Trip Advisor
"Hotel Tugu Lombok was the nicest hotel that I have ever stayed at so far. It has beautiful grounds - even if the rest of the hotel was terrible [though it certainly isn't] you'd stay there just for the scenery. The rooms are really gorgeous with traditional Indonesian decorations and a beautiful bath. The food was lovely and the dining areas were gorgeous like the rest of the hotel. We were very impressed with the dinner one night as the staff set us up with a table on the beach. The staff were incredibly accommodating and were able to find us a room at short notice [we'd left another hotel and come here]. The hotel is expensive but you can really see why. I can't recommend Hotel Tugu Lombok enough. Stayed April 2016, traveled with family"
