Villa Mathis: "Absolument sublime"

Review by: Shadé D | Source: Trip Advisor
7eme années que nous venons à la Villa Mathis, toujours aussi belle et agréable pour passer un petit séjour en famille ou en couple!! Cet hôtel est constitué d'un ensemble de villas. Nous avons eu l'occasion de tester chaque villa. Elles sont toutes différentes, très bien décorées et très agréables. Personnellement, nous avons un petit faible pour la Villa des rizières ! Vous pouvez privatiser une villa. Dans ce cas, personne ne viendra vous déranger. Chaque Villa a sa propre piscine. Le restaurant propose des bonnes choses et c'est toujours bien servi. A la carte, cuisine française et indonésienne. Le personnel est toujours charmant et à votre service. 7EME FOIS QUE NOTRE PETIT SÉJOUR A LA VILLA MATHIS NOUS A ENCHANTÉ ( C'est un hôtel absolument sublime)

David’s Kitchen: "Warm welcome and excellent food"

Review by: AlwaysSomething | Source: Trip Advisor
Just wonderful. Made a last minute booking and they were able to squeeze in myself and my girlfriend the next day. (I'd advise planning ahead, you might not be so lucky.) We were warmly welcomed by every member of the staff we encountered, and David himself stopped by our table near the beginning and end of our meal to have a chat and ask us what brought us to Chiang Mai in general and the restaurant in particular. Friendly, gracious and genuinely interested. The staff pulled off the rare trick of being super attentive and friendly while remaining casual. As for the food, we had the Japanese pumpkin veloute, spicy raw salmon, pomelo salad, wagyu beef cheeks and lobster in wine. All delicious and paired nicely with wines suggested by our waiter. At the end of the night they presented my girlfriend with a bouquet of roses to congratulate us on our engagement (there's a section on the online reservation form for special occasions -- nice touch). A wonderful capper to a lovely weekend.

MesaStila: "Two nights are NOT enough"

Review by: djmkzurich | Source: Trip Advisor
Spectacular resort set within a coffee plantation. Think being on yr 60 m2 terrace While facing forest and a Volcano, while you r hearing the Muezzins prayers. Breakfast and Dinners r great with a lot of European food offer (practical if you have kids and you do not want always discuss). Great Service and a lot of activities, such Yoga and Java dance classes, included in the price.

Villa Song Saigon: "Part of my 60th birthday trip to Thailand and Vietnam"

Review by: Andrew5771 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have never been to Vietnam before and after spending a week in Thailand we flew to Saigon ( Ho Chi Minh) I had booked the Villa Song hotel whilst in the UK. I like staying near a river or the sea and the hotel looked ideal for us. There were 7 of us incl my wife, her cousin, our 3 children and my eldest sons girlfriend. The hotel was perfect! We arrived and as a surprise some friends of ours who live in Hong Kong had flown in and were at the bar as we arrived. The setting was so good we decided to stay at the hotel for dinner and it was excellent. Great French wines at great prices The chef who also came out to see us was really nice. He was born in Luxembourg and was very helpful. The whole place was excellent - a real original Colonial house that had been renovated into a fabulous boutique hotel. The food, the breakfasts, the cocktails were all superb Great spacious rooms with satellite TV and all the staff could not have been nicer. Above all the prices were sensible and affordable I could not recommend this hotel highly enough - right on the river and just 20 minutes into the centre on a free shuttle bus provided by the hotel You must go!!"

Satri House: "Une merveille"

Review by: toclem | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel is a pure gem! The hotel building and rooms are extremely beautiful and very well decorated. The staff is charming and extremely professional. We've also had the opportunity to try the restaurant which serves delicious Lao dishes. In brief, everything was just perfect! We would definitely recommend Satri House."

Satri House: "Luxury"

Review by: vie4you | Source: Trip Advisor
A beautiful small resort in the garden of a former palace, which is well renovated, while the new parts are tastefully added, surrounded by a lush and quiet garden. 2 swimming pools, a restaurant and a spa complete the retreat. Superbly decorated, big rooms, ours was with a balcony with all privacy. Roomservice was perfect, they bring a small snack in the afternoon and prepare the room for sleeping in the evening. Breakfast was good (even so the espresso was a payable extra, a bit stingy considering the price). The staff very friendly and helpful - some extra english lessons for them would be good... Location wise a bit out of town, but in a walkable distance or an easy and cheap trip with tuktuk - the advantage of absolute quietness worth.

Misool Eco Resort: "Paradise"

Review by: Nathan A | Source: Trip Advisor
"Was my first time diving and I do t think I could have chosen a better world location. The trip was worth the length to go to a location where you can switch off from the world. If you want relaxation or adventure it has it all! Just happens to be in one of the most amazing locations in the world. GET THERE!"
