The Island Lodge: "Natural elegance."

The Island Lodge is a luxury property in a natural location. The ambience is unique in the Mekong Delta. The pool, the food, the rooms, the staff, the welcome, the good-bye, the attention to detail in every regard are nothing short of spectacular. This is a 5-star resort in an otherwise humble Delta surrounding. Although the prices are considerably higher than the local competition, the value is definitely there. If you want to pamper yourself in every way, this is your destination in the Mekong Delta. Everything you need is available on the premises. We went on a boat trip to a floating market, and the Lodge provided us with one of their staff to act as our personal guide, without additional cost. Every detail is covered.

Mie Cafe: "Do not miss this restaurant"

We went here on our first night straight after arriving in Cambodia. We stayed at Le Meridien which is only a 5 min walk. The food was great. Of course had to try the fish Amok - best fish amok I had in Cambodia. All the food is prepared by the kitchen staff with utmost precision which you will notice back in the taste. Half open kitchen and very pleasant staff. The chef came and visit all the tables personally to check if all was good. This restaurant has impressed me - must go to even if you stay a bit further away.

Talabgaon Castle: "Best of India"

"I can't begin to express how incredibly gracious the manager and staff are and how hard they worked to make sure our stay was nothing short of magical. Do yourself a favor and add this to your itinerary if exploring Northern India. We went to Jaipur right after by car and driver. So this was definitely doable, even if just for one night. Be sure to get cash out before you arrive and come hungry. The chef is fantastic. They have a bar and a beautiful pool on the property as well. Safe travels! Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Samanea Beach Resort: "“Girls Trip in Cambodia”"

Beautiful, secluded resort. The hospitality and atmosphere is beyond expectations. We arrived in early afternoon to welcoming arms and were escorted to our villa. We enjoyed the delicious lunch and partook in 2 for 1 drinks at happy hour. When the bar tender discovered I preferred Bacardi Rum to what they offered, he went to a market and purchased it for my next drink! Unbelievable people! The servers gladly held our second round of drinks for after we returned from dinner. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and kind. The outdoor bath and shower were a perfect ending to serene and peaceful day.

Mathis Retreat: "Very nice Boutique Hotel"

I stayed at the Mathis Retreat with a friend for 2 nights and we loved it. The rooms are specious and very beautiful. The breakfast is great and right next to the pool with a beautiful view over a rice fields. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience, thank you.

CABOCHON: "Lovely small hotel"

"Old colonial style boutique hotel with friendly staff. Quiet location on side street. Lovely rooms with interesting furniture and artefacts. Small pool on roof. Lovely smell of burning candles throughout. Cute little restaurant if you don't feel like walking out. Good Thai food plus western options available. Breakfast was good too. Good wifi connection. "

Nimmu House: "beautiful home stay"

"beautiful heritage property with all modern amenities. The tiny entrance itself speaks about its character. French touch to Ladhki house was pretty fusion. Tents were also beautiful. Our Hostess Sonam was also very hospitable. A lovely feel over all."

Rachamankha: "Old City Oasis"

Traveling from the Chiang Mai Airport we encountered a buzz of traffic including autos, tuk-tuks and a swarm of scooters and small motorcycles. Crowded, bussling, narrow streets apperared to be the norm. Then our driver turned onto a side street and pulled into the calm and quiet of Rachamankha. The staff of the hotel and the restaurant where gracious and attentive. The grounds are gorgeous and peaceful. We spent a few quiet hours by the tranquil pool. Great experince.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "An incredibly magical stay in George Town!"

When I came across the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion I knew that it would be a special place, however, it completely exceeded my expectations! There is really no place like it in George Town and even the world. This carefully restored historic mansion helps evoke the history of the city, it has beautiful antiques and family heirlooms, making you feel like your a guest of Mr Cheog Fatt Tze himself. Rooms are very spacious, include top quality luxury fittings and are all unique. There's also an excellent restaurant which I'd recommend for their great value lunch menu or for a romantic dinner. The pool was an added bonus, considering it can get hot in George Town! I hope to be able to return to this fabulous hotel!

Villa Mathis: "A 5* hidden retreat … Yet so close to the action"

"I've now stayed here twice as after the first trip, I was so wow'd by the place, I couldn't wait to stay again! The villas are really original in their layout. It's kind of a 'complex' but also kind of private villa-esque! There's several large pools with a handful of very private and secluded (lovely, lovely) villas around each of them. And the whole complex is set over huge grounds! To the point where I actually kept getting lost trying to find my way out! Which is why I say the place is a lovely mix ... Complete privacy, seclusion, lovely grounds and beautiful villas ... but yet, you can still go to the 'complex's' bar, restaurant or main pool to socialize with others ... Or just people watch!! The villa is about 15 mins drive to central Seminyak - so not far at all. And the staff are more than helpful in arranging taxi's or there's the shuttle bus that they have which will take you wherever! The other great thing about this place is the staff! Despite being very discrete, they are always around to cater to whatever it is you need. Nothing is too much trouble. Frank, the manager, is wonderful. He was there to greet me on arrival, showed me round and made me feel very welcome. And in the evenings at the bar - he was there offering advice on what to do, things to see ... As well as once again, making me feel very welcome and at home. A true star ... who I felt genuinely enjoyed what he did! Thanks Frank! Oh and whilst we're on the topic of the bar ... Please order a Pina Colada! Wayan, the barman ... Genius with cocktails! All in all, this place is great! I've stayed in many villas in Bali - love the place! - but this had the benefit of that private villa feel but with the option of 'complex' facilities should you wish to be a bit more social! And of course, as is often the case, it's the staff that make it! Suksma to Frank and the team "
