Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Wonderful hotel in Can Tho"

Review by: SteveMLOndon | Source: Trip Advisor
Great hotel with lots of character. We stayed in the Nam Bo Suite which was enormous, comfortable and well equipped. Staff very helpful. We only stayed for one night - but wish it could have been longer.

The Village House: "Gorgeous little place"

Review by: Shark432 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I really LOVED it here. It's no 5 star Marriott or anything... But the staff are super hospitable, accomodation very clean and comfortable. The pool and relaxing areas are great and the food is good-okay. Around the accomodation, there is not very much to do. You cannot swim at the beach located 100m down the street as there may be crocodiles. Apparently the sunset is nice from there though. I stayed in a six person dorm for 123 RM, but it's cheaper on the Agoda website I've been told. This is a great place to relax, swim (the pool is GREAT!), read and relax. Stayed January 2017"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Heritage and cultural luxury"

Review by: NormDC | Source: Trip Advisor
"Built around 1840 and now providing public accommodation, this is the luxury with character missing in today's 5 (or more) star hotels. From the old fashioned door key to the huge rooms furnished to transport you back in time, the centre open courtyard with photos of those from the past or the 'day beds' along the courtyard wings to relax in, this is 'what's old is new again'. The bathroom and shower facilities are modern 'western' but still set in the decor of yesteryear. Breakfast à la cart can be a little slow but gives time to relax, enjoy the ambience and enjoy the many self serve offerings. Located in the old town area, further history and the delights of Georgetown are just out the gate"

Nimmu House: "Wonderfull stay and rest in Nimmu House"

Review by: poppynho | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We had a peaceful, relaxing and perfect experience in Nimmu House. Welcoming staff (Alice is lovely, take care of everything), stunning old house which is still being renovated, tents are all comfort. Perfect place to rest and near not so far from Leh, and from there you can visit western Ladakh monasteries and go for trekking. Food is awesome (the chef works in a French owned restaurant in winter as far as I remember). Best nights we had in two weeks in Ladakh, without any hesitation!"

Reverie Siam Pai: "Wonderful resort in an ideal location for motorcycling"

Review by: Thomas O | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I were on a 7 days motorcycle tour around Northern Thailand. When we got to Reverie Siam we liked it so much that we decided to stay 4 nights instead of two. The nearby roads and scenery offered some amazing day trips on the motorcycle and our afternoons and evening in Pai and especially at Reverie Siam were the perfect complement to busy (and hot) riding days. The staff were wonderful and we loved the pools (2), bars (2) and restaurant. Felt like we were back in the roaring 20’s. Drinks by the (cool) pool was a welcome afternoon treat. Not sure how our stay could have been nicer. We loved it."

Mie Cafe: "Wonderful experience!"

Review by: Yana_Sh | Source: Trip Advisor
"A dinner in this restaurant was amazing! The food is interesting, very well presented, and creative! Clear that the chef knows what he is doing! It was a pleasure meeting him and have a little chat. Even the rain didn't ruin the experience, and may be made it even more special. Extremely recommended!"

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Classic Modern"

Review by: John T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Well, may not look busy but great menu with fusion of traditional and western influences. Don't be put off by what may appear to be lack of patronage. Staff are well trained and friendly. Try, Fish Cakes, Pumpkin Curry, Buffalo Cheeks (Yummy) etc., Manager, Chris can discuss any special requirements. This is also a highly regarded boutique hotel on the Historic Peninsula over looking the Nam Kahn river. Stayed January 2017"

Tugu Bali: "Absolutely wonderful"

Review by: BKfromBK | Source: Trip Advisor
"An unforgettable stay. The staff is warm, friendly, beyond accommodating and truly gracious. The property is gorgeous — beginning with the stunning lobby that will make your jaw drop the moment you enter. Historic Balinese details are strewn throughout the decor, and the room we stayed in had the feel of a colonial-era suite. Comfortable and modern amenities (the bed is top notch!). The food was fantastic — our breakfasts, in particular, were always the perfect way to start the day. The area itself is a surfer community, so it's a little livelier (and younger) than other parts of Bali that we visited. The beach is nice, though not exactly low-key and relaxing (if you're a surfer, it'll be right up your alley). Some very nice restaurants, bars and boutiques within walking distance. Overall, we loved our time here. We can't say enough about the service and the friendliness of the staff/management. They took care of us in every way and we will most certainly be back the next time we're in Bali."

Sea Dance Resort: "More incredible than the pictures depict, Should be a 5 start resort!!"

Review by: Jacqueline C | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel was AMAZING! After staying in other "4 star" resorts on various islands and arriving to properties that did not come close to our expectations, we weren't expecting anything to write home about. Needless to say we were more than pleasantly surprised with the quality of this resort. The bathrooms are GORGEOUS, facilities are clean, and the pool was luxurious and beautiful. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, they even brought us complimentary boozy popsicles while we lounged by the pool! If you want to stay somewhere that is far enough from the town that you can experience a hidden oasis, yet easily access the town for dinner/shopping/etc. with a $4 taxi ride, then this is the perfect place for you.

Tugu Bali: "Utterly Unreal"

Review by: goodtrips01 | Source: Trip Advisor
Wow... where to start? Every square inch of this property is stunning and exquisitely cared for. Nothing is out of place. It's like staying in an amazing museum of Balinese art. And just when you are totally zened out you can walk 2 minutes away to a great beach bar (Old Man's). Amazing sunsets right on the beach every night make for perfect sundowner experiences. We stayed in the Puri Le Mayeur suite. It's been described as the most romantic suite in Bali and I couldn't agree more. Every inch, literally every inch of it is museum quality. Words honestly fail. We had romantic dinners set up on our gazebo a few nights and it was beautiful. 2 nights we had the Aphrodisiac Dinner in Bed on the beach. Again, just stunning. One night we had the beach barbecue. It's nice but not as nice as the bed dinner. We booked couples massages, private yoga, private guided meditation and private reiki . All were amazing. Gede Cakrabhawa guided us through mediation and reiki. He was exceptional. We met with him almost every morning to start the day off right. Jenny, in charge of sales, was so friendly, helpful and available. She truly enhanced our stay. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. It's just so much more than a "hotel".
