Reverie Siam Pai: "A Truly Relaxing Paradise in Pai"

Our stay at Revere Siam was exactly what we needed. It was the perfect getaway, surrounded by nature with a mountain backdrop in a peaceful area of Pai! We went with the elegantly designed villa that had a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, and a big private garden. From the second we entered our villa we could clearly see they put some love and serious thought into designing this stunning hotel. To be honest the entire property was just breathtaking! The staff are friendly and the environment is peaceful! We spent most of our time in Pai at Revere Siam relaxing by the pool, enjoying the Jacuzzi and eating delicious meals (Lamb & Salmon dishes are top notch delicious, so is the breakfast) at their Mediterranean restaurant instead of exploring Pai. This resort is truly a paradise. We will definitely come back here again, no doubt about it!

Tugu Lombok: "SIMPLY AMAZING!"

"Hotel Tugu Lombok has to be seen to be believed! The grounds, buildings and rooms are delightful, as is the natural setting - everything seemed like an adventure with something new to discover at every turn. While the hotel is not new or slick it is authentic and conveys a sense of being in Indonesia perfectly (rather than just feeling you are staying in a generic international resort). But this hotel's merits are really in the care, attention and genuine sense of hospitality displayed by the amazing staff. Everyone knows your name and likes/dislikes on day one, are super friendly but also know how to be unobtrusive if you seek privacy. There are also lots of activities that can be arranged should you wish to explore the area but it is actually very hard to tear yourself away from your new perfect ""home"", not the mention the shock of going back into the real world when it is time to sadly leave! This is our 2nd stay at a Tugu hotel (Tugu Bali is equally gorgeous) and as each seemed to very much have their own character we are planning a Tugu tour of Indonesia in the future to experience the country's culture, art and cuisine in the best possible way! Room Tip: Apenam Bungalows are in a quiet area facing a lovely grassy lawn and close to a huge, very unique..."

Jing’s Residence: "Surpassed Expectations"

"Our room was delightfully different from your usual hotel room. Very large on the first floor at the rear of the premises. Rustic, eclectic, full of character. Food in the restaurant was first class - good choices for a small hotel. Comfortably western if that's what you want."

Manukan Island Resort: "Excellent service, wonderful view but overpriced food"

"Excellent service. Convenient to reach via Jesselton Point although the numerous boat company counters made the experience a little chaotic. Note that for an additional RM10 per person, the boat company offers return trip. Staff know the various companies very well and will contact them regarding the return trip on the behalf of guests. Upon arrival, we had to pay the conservation fee before we were brought into a small room next to the reception for registration. We booked a beach side villa which is near the two resort-run restaurants, a local cheaper restaurant and the sundry shop (selling water, ice-cream, snacks, etc at a more reasonable price). The private beach for guests is on the other side of the main building. There are beach chairs with umbrellas and hammocks. Internet worked but sometimes the signal was not very strong. Staff served us with complementary drinks and apples in our room on the first day of arrival. Room was very clean. We were lucky as we were told that the beach side villa has just been renovated. So everything was new. We received complimentary mineral waters. Breakfast was included in the cost of the room. International spread with sufficient variety. Dining at the Perahu restaurant was pretty expensive but there were no other choices at night. The selection was rather limited that we got bored pretty fast. Would recommend the burger and the ayam penyet. Room service available at no extra charges but limited food selection and there was a slight price difference for the same meal we could get from the restaurant. Very convenient when it is raining outside. Nice jungle trekking towards the sunset point. Took us about 40 minutes to trek through the forest. We could also take the normal paved road but we decided to be a little bit more adventurous. The path was clear. Torchlight and umbrella were provided in the rooms. Those were very useful when we happened to trek on a rainy late afternoon. Had a really enjoyable stay. Great for lazing around. Staff was ever so helpful. They made arrangement for us with the boat operator, Sunny Rainbow, for our return trip. We were initially told that we have to wait till 14:00. As we had two hours to spend, we went to the restaurant. An hour later, the staff came to us that a boat is leaving at 13:30. They had already gotten our bags out from the reception and were ready to help carry the stuff onto the boat. Would definitely love to visit again. Hope that more will be done to ensure the cleanliness of the sea. Pity to see so much plastics gathered near the beach at the sunset point."

The Island Lodge: "aradise on the Mekong Delta"

We were lucky enough to stay here for one night after booking the Les Rives 2 day Mekong Delta speedboat tour. After an awesome day, we had a 1-2hr speedboat ride and had a bit of a snooze.....we woke up just as we arrived at the lodge and wow, instantly it took our breath away. We were greeted personally by the check in staff, room manager and then Michel (one of the owners). This place is beautiful, not crowded, such a feeling a peace and tranquility. Every member of staff was exceptional. If we head back to Vietnam again.....we know where we will be staying :)

Villa Song: "A must stay"

Welcomed warmly upon arrival after a long flight from the UK. Arrived early and offered a complimentary breakfast whilst waiting for our room to be made ready along with shower facilities to freshen up. We had a lovely room overlooking the river, the bed was divine as was everything actually. The staff could not have been more helpful, we were booked in originally for 2 nights but extended to 3 as we had such a lovely time. A salt water pool at bath temperature, complimentary speed boat shuttle into District 1, fabulous breakfast menu and located in an oasis of calm in the madness that is Ho Chi Minh City. We highly recommend staying here in this beautiful Villa Hotel. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff who made our stay so enjoyable. It was greatly appreciated and we will certainly be telling all of our friends about you.

Reverie Siam: "Great botique hotel"

Great place to enjoy and relax, far from the town center but offers free on call tuk tuks all day long to and from the town center. Rooms are specious with amazing design. The staff is helpful and friendly. Nice breakfest- you get to choose one of 6-7 egg plates and one of 4 sweet dishes.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Otherworldly"

"This hotel has been covered extensively, and for good reason. We stayed for four nights during our honeymoon, and even though we stayed at truly luxurious hotels, 4 Rivers was a real highlight. You take a boat about 25 minutes to floating wooden platforms with about 15 tents set up. The rooms are well appointed (nothing special), but you're there for the surroundings. Our bodies got accustomed to waking up with the sun and going to sleep when it got dark. We enjoyed taking the sunset cruise at the end of the day, and exploring the mangroves in kayaks. The staff, especially Rambo and Bono, are delightful. It was here that we fell in love with Cambodia. My only complaint is that food was bad (not authentic). Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song: "Absolutely amazing"

"We stayed at this wonderful hotel as a splurge to ourselves at the end of our holiday that was to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, from the moment we arrived every single staff member was amazing and the hotel absolutely beautiful. We had a quick check in and we're told about breakfast and everything else we needed for our stay, they give you a map and even highlight the taxis that tourists should use. After we went to our room we went to explore and the lovely Yega introduced himself to us and asked if we were happy with our room, of course we were it was beautiful he later asked if we would like a free upgrade and would we like to see the other room as they had had a cancellation , oh my goodness I thought our other room was beautiful this one was absolutely amazing, as Yega explained no room in the hotel is the same as any other, I could have cried our room was that special , I don't think it would matter what room you got they would all be amazing . The rooms are super quiet and have great blackout curtains. The walls are nice and thick so you can't hear the people next door. The bathroom have great toiletries including toothbrush and paste, razor, loofah and sewing kit.I was very happy to see scales in the room it made checking the weight of our luggage so much easier. The room is also equipped with a pod coffee maker, kettle and teapot and complimentary mini bar which included juice, water, soft drinks and beer. It was lovely to come back at nighttime to a turndown service and a yummy little bedtime treat, The boat to take you to district 1 is so much fun and the driver was lovely and took our photo for us and pointed out things of interest along the way. Breakfast was delicious, you choose a hot beverage, a fresh juice and your meal, I had the full breakfast and my husband had the eggs benadict and both were lovely. The pool was glorious and the water much cooler than others we have swam in on this trip, the pool chairs and pods were very comfortable and the pool boys were great, The bell boys were so helpful they were happy to get taxis for us or if we were using Uber they checked the number plate on our phone and kept an eye out for our car for us, and they would always open the car door for us when we arrived back to the hotel. The waitstaff were very friendly and has a chat to everyone and made everyone feel comfortable. Whatever room you get at this hotel you would be happy and we cannot wait to come back and we will bring our family with us next time. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so wonderful."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A unique experiece"

The Blue Mansion was a wonderful, unexpected experience, a beautifully restored house with a calm and quiet environment. Large comfortable room, good choice of breakfasts and delicious food and good service in the Indigo restaurant. It is well worthwhile doing one of the tours to learn about the fascinating history given by a very entertaining Chinese lady. We found all the staff without exception to be very friendly and helpful, but in particular Shirley (I think that was her name) who gave us lots of advice of where to go and what to do which we did - the street art in Georgetown, markets, restaurants, Penang Hill and Battu Ferringai, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a very different few days, we haven’t stopped talking about theBlue Mansion.
