Sea Dance Resort: "Where everybody knows your name"
"...and they're always glad you came..." That theme song from the TV show "Cheers" should be this friendly resort's theme song. It seems that the staff always welcomed us by our names like a friend or family member. Great resort with clean, spacious, modern rooms. They really paid attention to details such as providing mosquito swatter, sprays, umbrellas, and unique decors too such as a pond with fishes and frog in the bathroom, fish net baskets as lights in the restaurant Loved the happy hours, buffets, entertainment provided, plunge pool privacy and expansive menu at the restaurant. All great ideas for my club facilities back home. Would definitely come back. Only drawback is the lack of scheduled on site activities and equipment fitness center. They do offer cooking classes but would be nice to have more, such as yoga or Thai cultural classes. The beach was rocky but water is clean and refreshing. Thank you so much to the staff and owner for a memorable stay.Rachamankha: "Classic gem if you are into classics"
"Positives: extra comfortable bedding, in a quiet and nice alley away from busy traffic, professional and helpful staff, pool having the cleanest water I have seen (reminds me of Pissin Molitor in The Life of Pi), lush and immaculate landscaping, included breakfast is delicious, and delicately prepared. Negatives: internet works only half the time, limiting my ability to upload photos and book tours for the next days; room door, bathroom door and shower door are all narrow or half openable, really inconvenient."Tandjung Sari: "Bali dreaming"
So greatfull that our friends recommended this gem. It was not too far from airport as I had an early flight the next day, however I was able to be in that old style Bail atmosphere for one night only. Nice cocktails, good food and comfortable spacious villa. Canopy bed to rest peacefully in. I even had a midnight swim!SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Awesome !"
Lucia and Felix Eppiser have built a beautiful , tastefully done restaurant and are excellent hosts ! Service is personalized and efficient . Will go back again Sid from Shangri-laVilla Song Saigon: "Endless smile"
From the beginning we felt hard welcome. You can feel that the staff is wel threated. Very clean rooms with nice decoration with nice extras in the bathroom. Breakfast is exellent! The shuttleservice is easy and is a nice service. The swimmingpool area clean and relax. The staff at the restaurant is really helpfull and proffesional of course due the power of the food/beverage manager( european). Big thanks!Villa Song Saigon: "Heavenly place!"
Excellent option when visiting Saigon: you have the dynamism of one the most vibrant cities of Asia with the quietness of the hotel by the river, Villa Song. Service was excellent (recommending the Vespa Tour and some outstanding restaurants). I will come back for sure.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "the best and most special hotel of Penang"
Rooms are spacious and very elegant, the hotel is beautiful, full of history, location is excellent, food is great in the restaurant, the tour is very nice, this is by far the best choice, stay at Blue Mansion when you go to Penang.Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"
"This is one of my favorite places in the world. As soon as you wade ashore off the long tail boat that drops you off you know your somewhere special. It's a wonderful escape from work, city living and the world. There's nothing to do here but relax. A 10km long beach with pretty much no one on it and beautiful water. Small islands and mangrove swamps to explore by kayak. Beautiful beach homes to kick back in. The option of yoga in the morning and massage any time of day. Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"Reverie Siam: "Excellent choice for a couple"
"This place is gorgeous A hodgepodge of vintage furniture adorns the restaurant (which acts as the focal point of the resort) The menu is incredible - and very reasonably priced We had a second-floor mountain view room (there's only two levels) The room was enormous, so was the bathroom (complete with bathtub), and our private terrace looked out across fields toward the mountain with white Buddha. There's two cute swimming pools nestled amongst foliage Super friendly and attentive staff Free tuk tuk into town about 5 mins away"Talabgaon Castle: "Great heritage resort"
We stayed here for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our heritage room was tastefully decorated in a tradional style and made good use of the original arched architecture, quite charming. The monogrammed bedlinen and fluffy white towels were beautiful, and not found elsewhere in our four weeks in India. The gardens and pool area were beautifully maintained, and a great place to relax and dine. Service was sometimes slow, but it is good to see that locals are being trained to provide it. The food when it came was excellent. In all, a wonderful place to chill out, and great value.
