Review by: stephaneo685 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Après avoir séjourné plus de 3 semaines à travers tout Bali et encore une semaine à la découverte de lumbok, nous sommes arrivés dans ce petit paradis pour finaliser notre voyage de 25 ans de mariage. 5 nuits d enchantement ou vraiment incomparable à tout autre hôtel de notre sejour et pourtant d autre de grand luxe également et un du même nom sur Bali qui n a absolument rien à voir . Ici tout à été parfait le repos, la plage magnifique digne d une carte postal avec le mobilier et décort très particulier qui font tout le charme de cet endroit Je ne vais pas m attarder sur la villa parfaite literie salle de bain etc... tout y est magique ou encore qu' il vous sera possible de vous faire servir vos repas ou bon vous semble partout dans le parc ou sur la plage ect. Non je préfère m attarder sur ce que vous ne trouverez nul par ailleurs croyez moi c est ici qu' on a vraiment ressenti la bienveillance le sourire vrai et l âme véritable du personnel indonésien. Vraiment des jardiniers , des hommes de chambres, des serveurs, Et surtout de la superbe responsable qui du 1er jours au derniers passera vous dire bonjour mais surtout s assurer que tout se passe bien. Le fait d avoir une responsable indonésienne qui aime son pays et surtout est aussi proche de son personnel que de sa clientèle fait vraiment toute la différence . Il y Régine un état d esprit complètement différent que ce que l on a pu voir dans d autres hôtels de même catégorie , ici on y sent le respect mutuel et de ce fait une ambiance ou il y fait bon vivre . Alors c est sur qu' on en gardera un merveilleux souvenir et qu' on le conseil vivement à toute personne qui passe par lumbok! Room Tip: Nous avions une villa avec petit jardin privé. Très bien.et très spacieuse See more room tips Stayed October 2016, traveled as a couple"

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Beautiful Hotel"

Review by: nigelwelch | Source: tripadvison.com
"We had a great stay here. The best bed we have ever had in a hotel.A lovely tranquil place on the river. Very friendly staff, nice rooms and public areas. Excellent breakfast and dinner. In district 2 about 30 mins from the centre of town. Regular free boat service in to town. A perfect place to stay just a little way from a very busy, noisy and bustling city. Would love to go back "

Villa Song Saigon: "WOW!! Lived up to all expectations"

Review by: Samehart | Source: Trip Advisor

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "A beautiful restaurant"

Review by: Kerensa2014 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I only managed to try the top 2 recommended restaurants in Yangon - Seeds and Le Planteur and have to say that Seeds is number 1 for good reasons. Everything in this restaurant is beautiful - the food, decor and grounds which fronts the lake with lotus flowers. It’s perhaps better to come before night falls in order to fully appreciate the surroundings. The place is a little difficult to find and signage not very prominent so do ensure that your driver knows it before you set off. Food is gorgeous and the service is good and staff cheerful. If you only time to visit one restaurant in Yangon, make it this one."

Maduzi Hotel: "Favourite Hotel"

Review by: Pna1988 | Source: Trip Advisor
Their service is always impeccable. They revamped their breakfast menu and it's amazing. Apart from healthy options, they added fancy options like truffle quiche. You must try their freshly baked croissant too... you will not regret it. It is literally the best croissant I've ever had. I've stayed in Maduzi for my last three trips to bkk and I plan to come back for my future trips.

The Hue House: "Hard to find paradise"

Review by: Musicbones | Source: Trip Advisor
"What a beautiful magical spot!! You couldn't ask for a more perfect way to cap an evening after a hectic day in Ho Chi Minh City. You have the feel of walking into a Buddhist Temple from a Japanese garden - except it is perched on the 10th floor overlooking the city you just conquered. The authentic Vietnamese food did not disappoint. We were waited on by helpful staff in traditional dress. We were the only ones there our night - perhaps, because it was rainy outside, perhaps, because it was hard to find, or, perhaps, it is just too new and hasn’t built up the word of mouth. Please, help them and go, you will feel very lucky to have had the opportunity. Getting here is the trick. We never saw a sign. All we found was a security guard to one of the buildings on this short block - just east off the Turtle Fountain/Pond. It is the big steel & glass office building - go into the lobby and press the 10th floor from the elevator. It takes you to paradise."

Tugu Malang: "Classic and Traditional"

Review by: adn88 | Source: Trip Advisor
"What should I say about my amazing stay in Hotel Tugu Malang? The room was excellent. They even provided us with FREE high tea between 4-6PM and they served very very good Indonesian traditional cakes and desserts. They also gave us 10 minutes complimentary shoulder massage. This hotel is like a monument. They gave us a free tour of the hotel and so we can see different rooms offered. Unfortunately, we stayed only for a night. Definitely recommend this hotel if you go to Malang!! This is the best place to stay."

Tugu Bali: "Excellent service and homely feel"

Review by: Johanna A | Source: Trip Advisor
"Absolutely fantastic service. I have never experienced more genuine and attentive service from our arrival to departure. Simply flawless. Love the maze like garden with canals and fishes. Rooms are good a bit run down, but all is made up by the fantastic staff! Well worth a visit!! World class service in a stunning surrounding. "

Samanea Beach Resort: "Peaceful, Green, Amazing Resort"

Review by: mytravellicious | Source: Trip Advisor
"Here is my review after my 2days, 1 night stay: Tuk-Tuk Pick Up =============== It was hard to estimated what time I will arrived in Kep from Sihanoukville. My transportation got delayed arrived in Kep, as I already mentioned my arrival time with the resort, they already had the tuktuk waiting for me at the bus/van station in Kep. I also informed that I will be delayed for an hour. When I arrived at the station, I was greeted by my tuktuk to bring me to the resort, I was really surprise he still waiting for me patiently despite of the delay. He was friendly. Journey from bus station to the resort, took about 3-4 minutes. Check-in / Lobby ================= When arrived at the resort, I was greet by the bell staff and he helped me with my luggage. It was really beautiful resort from the first impression I stepped out from the tuktuk. It is very green and the surrounding just calm and very relaxing. Myself then checked-in, it was smooth,and the reception is an open space. Nothing much, and they have like a lounge with a small library. It was good. Just for your info, here, there are only 12 villas, so it's a little privacy. After checked-in, the bell staffs helped me with my luggage and guide me to my villa. Deluxe Double Villa =================== When I arrived at my villa, it was breathtakingly gorgeous and spacious. The bed is super amazing and very comfortable and including the mosquito nett. It is like I am ready for my honeymoon, unfortunately I was here single. What I love is when I pull the blind of my glass window, and the green view pop up. It was really relaxing when you are on your bed while surrounded with the serene view. The TV area also great with with a big sofa. I love the office table area as here is where I done all my worked. If you can see, there are big fans near the office table as the room too spacious, the AC might not very cold. The drawer and cupboard also big. Inside they provided the insect spray as if you want to get rid of mosquitoes inside your villa. As its surrounded by the garden, some of mosquitoes might lost to your villa. Open Bathroom ============== What I love the most about this villa, its offering open bathroom. The bathroom is really huge. There are 3 ways to have your shower, first normal shower rain, second using the water big vase where you need to use traditional coconut dipper. And other one, of course the bathtub. The shower area is surrounded by the green plant and it is quiet relaxing when you are taking the dip in the bathtub, and enjoying the warm bath. But to be honest, it is quiet challenging to use the toilet in the middle of the night when you are staying alone. Breakfast ========= As for the breakfast, there are few menus you can choose. So I chose pancake, I also mentioned I do want any meat as they also offered bacon as a side dish. The waiter seems understand what I said, unfortunately, when my pancake arrived, it accompanied with bacon. So I asked them to remove the bacon and changing the new plate. So, the waiters here, a little bit struggle to understand English. As per photo, that's all my breakfast. Swimming Pool ============= Even this resort only offered 12 villas, but they have really huge swimming pool. You can do a view olympic lapse here if you want to. Unfortunately, I requested towel a few times with the staffs at the restaurant, but still I did not get any towel. At last, I backed to my villa in wet. In my opinion, their staffs need a lot to improve with communication skill and their services, as this resort, the guest is not as many as city hotel, if one person at one time, they can't handle, I am not very sure how they handle a large group. Hoping they can improve from time to time as the resort is amazing. Beach ====== Like I mentioned earlier, here is the only one resort with their own beach. You can enjoy the sea and view with a little privacy away from the touristic area. At the beach, there is barbecue facilities provided and massage hut, where you can have your massage at the beach with a sea view. The bonus is, here you can enjoy very beautiful sunset. And they have very long wooden bridge, I think is about 200m. It is really cool, reminded me with U Bein bridge in Mandalay, Myanmar. Location ======== It is about 3 minutes tuk tuk ride from bus station or Crab Market area, with the fare of 3USD. It's really a long walk from Crab Market (2km), but you can use the bicycle from the resort. At night, the road to the resort is really dark. Avoid to use bicycle or walk at the main road at night. Conclusion =========== Samanea Beach Resort is a little gems in Kep, Cambodia. If you are looking for a privacy, and romantic trips or family gateway, here is the best place for you! I would love to stay here again, but next time with my love one."
