leopard safaries: "The Best Camp you would die for"

Review by: Ping C | Source: tripadvisor.com
Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris has exceeded our expectations in all aspects. The camping facility is modern and outstanding. The food, wine, and service are absolutely world class. Just imaging you dining under twinkling stars by the table lit with candle lights surrounded with invisible wild creatures and accompanied by old and new friends! Noel and staff at the camp are very knowledgeable and experienced with Safaris. We never disappointed with each trip we took, leopards, elephants, sloth bear, etc we saw them all. We not only saw animals in the wild, we've also learned a lots about the animals and birds, which make us really appreciate the nature. We highly recommend Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris. It's the best value you would receive and an experience you will remember for your life time.

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Принцесса Араканского царства"

Review by: Natalia B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Из Ситтве, до которого надо лететь на самолёте воспользуйтесь либо предложением отеля : доехать на лодке с включёнными напитками и едой либо наймите скоростную моторную лодку, так как сьэкономите часа 3 . Приплыв в Мраук-У - столицу древнего Араканского царства Вы не пожалеете в любом случае о потраченном времени на дорогу. Древность, этническая самобытность и красота этих мест потрясает. За такими впечатлениями люди гоняются по всему миру!!! А остановиться нужно без сомнения в MRAUK OO PRINCESS Resort. Почему ? Этот отель, несмотря на его роскошь, не сделает Вас ,,белыми колонизатором"", отделив Ваш мир от внешнего , а гостеприимно погрузит в волшебную атмосферу Араканского царства. Хотела бы вернуться сюда ещё Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"

Samanea Beach Resort: "Outstanding hotel!"

Review by: Sumobabe | Source: Trip Advisor
"his was our second stay in 2015 at the Samanea Beach Resort. And once again we were not dissapointed. This stay was for six days in December 2015, and what a time we had!! The Samanea is by far the best choice in Kep, also compared to the fancy more downtown place. Here at Samanea Beach you get our own individual house in a lush tropical garden. Our house was again VERY comfortable. Huge king bed, sofa arrangement, dresser, wardrobe and in general very spacious living. All amenities from a 4-5 star hotel. The bath room is almost the best part. It's situated en suite but outdoors in your own totally private yard. Very nice, romantic and comfortable. Restaurant, pool area, private beach, private pier - hey just look at the pictures. It's just a WONDERFUL place. The staff is great. Especially the guys working in the restaurant are just fantastic! Only hickup: the wifi could be better!"

The River Resort: "Paradis"

Review by: sylvain2308 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Lorsque l'on arrive dans la region de Champasak et que l'on cherche un hotel deux possibilités s'offrent dont la folie lodge. Au vue des avis nous avons ete incapable de choisir et avons été aux deux qui sont presque face a face. Arrivé au river resort par taxi depuis Pakse accueil agréable. Belle chambre avec vue dur le Mekong. Chambres modernes et clean . Tres bonne literie. Belles piscines (2) avec vue sur la Meckong un peu froide et manquant de profondeur. Petit déjeuner et repas parfait ! Cuisinière excellente et service Restauant parfait. Organisation excursion wat phu bien prix correct ( loc de tuktuk) Rien de plus a dire un très bel hôtel dans un beau cadre. Beau lever de soleil de ce cote du Meckong !"

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "An amazing experience"

Review by: Roman G | Source: Trip Advisor
We really enjoyed the 5-course and 6-course menu at Cuisine Wat Damnak and were thrilled to taste the Khmer cuisine with a touch of French. It was delicious - from the taste from the kitchen to the dessert we experienced different flavours, but never too strong. The price for the menu and wine was a great value... The setting beautiful and loved that the chef himself came to greet us. We will be back for sure...

Villa Song Saigon: "The very best Hotel in Vietnam if not SE Asia"

Review by: Craig_M-NCL | Source: Trip Advisor
"As my review title says this is hands down the best hotel I've ever stayed at, Ive travelled the world and been luckily enough to stay at some amazing places but this place is just something else. Room: I booked this hotel for 2 nights to finish off my mini tour of Vietnam and my only complaint was I didn't book it for longer. We had the sanctuary river room which was stunning this room also had a small balcony however not all rooms do so its worth double checking, I didn't realise this and the hotel allocated the balcony room to us via email which is a fantastic touch. The room itself was large spacious and bright with modern touches but keeping its french colonial style and i don't think I've ever slept in a more comfortable or bigger bed! It must be about 10 foot long. Service: Absolutely out of this world. From the moment you arrive to check out all staff are helpful friendly and literally can't do enough to ensure your stay is a memorable one. On our last day we didn't fly till midnight so had asked if possible could we have a late check out, unfortunately for us the hotel was fully booked but we were assured that we could shower and use all facilities until we were ready to leave. 5 minutes after being told this Yega the GM called our room and offered us another room to use until 6PM as they didn't have anyone arriving to that room until 7.30PM that night. This was an amazing helpful gesture and made our last day much more comfortable the hotel only has 23 rooms all designed differently so i can see sometimes when full how it can be a logistical nightmare to accommodate such requests as ours but they were met without any problems and no extra charge. We only eat here once for dinner and the food was out of this world Kevin the head chef is always around mingling with guests telling you about his food and wines, He's a very talented knowledgeable man who really is at the top of his game in his role, He took time to tell me how they prepared and cooked the pork i had as well as asked us which strength cheeses and flavours we liked for the cheese board after dinner. Al A Carte Breakfast was amazing the both times we had it a wide range of western,healthy and asian cuisine to choose from. The eggs Benedict are a must all served with fresh fruits and juices and coffee. You can have this from 6AM till 10PM these are the little touches that set this hotel apart from anywhere else. Lastly make sure you make use of the hotels free speedboat to district 1. Miss all the madness of the traffic and speed up the saigon river taking in the views. There was only me and my partner on the boat and the captain took some amazing pics of us with the HCM skyline in the background he was great and it was a memorable experience. Villa Song Saigon i will be back!"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Sowing Superior Seeds"

Review by: Charlotte H | Source: Trip Advisor
Recommended by American foodies, we hoped to be wowed and were not disappointed. Lucia and Felix serve startling delicious food with subtle beautiful flavors. They started us with a tuna amuse bouche which sat on a bed of ground raw ginger and a lemony infusion elegantly plated with miniature greens and dollops of lemon crema. Friends enjoyed the crispy Mille feuille tuna and gazpacho both delicate and layered with subtle flavor. Salmon was glazed and crispy skinned with the promised hint of Asian flavor with a lemon cream swoosh and lightly steamed baby carrots and green onion. The sea bass on eggplant with a side of tiny roasted potatoes and garlic and rosemary. Nice cocktail selection and lovely wines. An extraordinary tasteful modern beautiful building inside and out siting in Inya Lake. A must gastronomically for any self respecting food snob. Also they are training a new worker population in the art of serving beautiful food attentively and correctly. An important contribution to Myanmar and Yangon as well as using so many products and materials made in this amazing country.
