Satri House: "Attention to Detail"

Review by: wellpoot | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Satri House setting is welcoming, elegant, and most comfortable. The quality of all offerings (lovely grounds and statuary, water features, open-air restaurant, and rooms) is evident at first glance. The staff present a sincere attitude of kindness and concern to guests and strive to fulfill any possible requests. Be sure to ask to use the free bikes for a special view of Luang Prabang. Room Tip: We made no requests for a special room and were quite pleased with the hotel's choice for us."

CHAKRABONGSE VILLAS: "The perfect oasis in the heart of Old Bangkok"

Review by: heyjessnyc | Source: tripadvison.com
"I have used tripadvisor to plan trips for years, but our magical time at the Chakrabongse Villas has finally inspired me to write a review of my own. We could not have found a more perfect place to spend the final 3 days of a 2 week trip to SE Asia. Atom, the manager, and her staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful in making our stay in Bangkok so special, and upgraded us to the Garden View Suite, which was lovely. Tucked away in beautiful, lush gardens right on the banks of the Chao Praya river and directly across from Wat Pho and a short distance to the Grand Palace, the Chakrabongse Villas, is truly a hidden gem. Being in the heart of Old Bangkok meant that we could return to the hotel for a quick dip in the gorgeous pool to cool off from the infamous Bangkok heat before heading out for the next excursion. I highly recommend arranging to have dinner at the Chakrabongse Villas for an unforgettable experience - the dinner we had with a private table set up on the terrace right next to the river was the most romantic, and one of the most delicious, we've ever had (the owner is a descendant of the Thai kings Rama IV & V so the dishes are from the Royal Family's own recipes). We also enjoyed our tour of Bangkok's canals in the Chakrabongse Villa's own long tail boat. If you are looking for the perfect boutique hotel that offers a peaceful, historical oasis in hectic and hot Bangkok, then I cannot recommend Chakrabongse Villas highly enough. Thank you, Atom, for helping to make our stay so extraordinary. "

Samanea Beach Resort: "a hidden jewel"

Review by: friedrich338 | Source: Trip Advisor
An excellent place for quiet relaxing, a small place with much personal charm. Very nice and helpful staff, excellent food, very nice premises and very good installations. The only drawback is the lack of a proper beach.

Tugu Bali: "Hidden gem in Canggu"

Review by: Shawn W | Source: Trip Advisor
Hotel Tugu is a magical place, with an amazing location and fantastic decor / atmosphere. This is the perfect place for couples looking for a few days of quiet and calm. We enjoyed a moonlit dinner at Tugu's beachfront garden and also had a fun cooking class with Daisy! Highly recommend making Tugu a part of your Bali trip!

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Amazingly beautiful place"

Review by: Esther N | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed in Rakkojae and found it a very serene and beautiful place.. breakfast was perfect (the traditional breakfast is esp good)... room was clean and spacious though there were a lack of hooks to hang our clothes.. the only problem is walls are paper thin (typical of a traditional lodging) so we could hear almost every single sound that's transpired in this place.. apart from that, service and room were impeccable. :)

Cuca: "Brilliant Taste and Service"

Review by: Rheiii03 | Source: Trip Advisor
My fiance brought me here on our anniversary last year. From the beginning upon arrival until farewell, we had a spotless service. The staff is highly attentive, yet undisturbed our romantic moment. Perfect! The food? can't ask for more. You should experience yourself for Chef Kevin's masterpiece in this beautiful restaurant. Thank you Cuca and team for the lovely dinner. You guys are amazing!

Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song"

Review by: noelcdonovan | Source: tripadvisor.com
We really loved this hotel, the location, the staff, the rooms and the food were all fantastic. The regular boat shuttle to the centre of the city along the river was also a real plus. Great stay, would go back and would recommend it to anyone.

Tugu Lombok: "Full of character and charm"

Review by: Ashtonsontour | Source: Trip Advisor
"What a unique and characterful hotel! The architecture and decor is completely authentic and brimming with stunning antiques and artefacts. The whole experience was so wonderfully relaxing - from the warm welcome and complimentary massage to the fresh seafood dinner on the beach! The sea was so calm - perfect to try out paddle boarding and kayaking. There was nothing to fault... friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, amazingly comfortable bed, stunning outdoor bath and private pool, spacious grounds and a beautiful white sandy beach for long walks. I would not hesitate to recommend The Tugu Lombok to anyone who is tired of large and impersonal hotels."

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Great Place to Stay"

Review by: DrCUR | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at the Mrauk Oo Princess resort, a sister property of the Inle Princess of Inle Lake. The grounds here are beautiful and the rooms are individual villas that are spacious. The staff here were very friendly and accommodating. The massage was delightful. We had the pleasure of staying here over Christmas, and the staff provided a superb performance of traditional Burmese dances during the Christmas Eve dinner. We thought they were professionals until we were told that they were our staff. It was a WOW moment. The food at this resort was very tasty. Our tour guide had arranged for us to take the two deck boat directly from their dock down the river for 3.5 hours to Sittwe, which was a lot smoother than the pot-hole ridden road for 4.5 hours that we took from Sittwe to Mrauk U. We will definitely be back to stay the next time we visit Mrauk U, Myanmar."

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Best food in wonderful hotel"

Review by: elisabetha95 | Source: Trip Advisor
It is one of the most wonderful decorated places in Bangkok with the best Thai food we have ever had! And we had a lot of Thai food within the last 24 years visiting Bangkok every year at least once. Having a break and left in paradise The Cabochon is the place to go. Service is excellent and the whole house is just stunning. If you want to have your special moment-Cabochon is the place to experience it! And I am not mentioning the pool on the roof and the hotel rooms (secret gem)
