CHAKRABONGSE VILLAS: "A palace"
It's not often you get to stay in a real palace. And the Traditional Thai teak sala hotel rooms on its palace grounds are unique and remarkable. Our room fronted the Chao Praya river,and candidly, our private lanai/patio was double the size of most hotel rooms these days. Not cheap, but an experience. And perfect for that very very special celebration Best of all, Tatien district, which is behind the royal palace and Wat Po, is experiencing a revival with new eateries, things to do and trendy hotels. We loved the Museum Siam directly across from Chakrabongse Villas, and the River Books bookstore o hotel premises. Don't miss nearby Err restaurant, traditional Thai from the folks that gave us bo.lan.Reverie Siam: "Four days in Pay"
Hi I would like to tell you just to book as you will not be disappointed with this hotel. We could of stopped forever in the villa next to the river. The food is excellent and we ate there quite a lot. The only problem I have with my entire stay is that there was not more of a Thai cuisine on the menu. Apart from that absolutely nothing whatsoever to mention. We will be back for a couple of weeks next time. Very helpful staff to.Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Incredibly outstanding, as always!"
The owners Carole and Johannes are incredible. The staff incredibly professional. The food... Mind blowing and completely unlike anywhere else in the world! Extremely innovative menu. If you find yourself in Siem Reap, do yourself a favour and book in here (in advance due to its understandable popularity). The best meals I have eaten in all of Asia!Inle Princess Resort: "Blends with the natural landscape"
The hotel is well located and the rooms are all bungalows. Its a romantic setting just walking t o your room. Supplies are hard to get so the hotel is a bit rough around the edges, but that gives it some of its charm. The dinning room and bar are beautiful and the service very attentive. All of the burmese people are wonderful and friendly.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Idyllic stay"
The perfect place to relax for 2-3 days at the end of a holiday in India. Very comfortable and spacious bungalows set widely apart in landscaped grounds right next to the Arabian Sea. The sea was rough while we were there so we took advantage of the pool area instead, which was quiet and peaceful - some of the bungalows were unoccupied but I don't imagine the hotel is ever noisy/busy. This is a place to relax and unwind. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and we appreciated little touches like the leaving gifts and the postcard that arrived for my birthday 4 months later! Will definitely visit again one day.Mathis Retreat: "Lovely place"
Very nice and quiet place located 10 min scooter drive form the center. The staff is nice and the manager will help you with what ever your questions must be. The breakfast is very good. Loved it hereHotel Tugu Lombok: "So unique"
If you ever have the chance to visit Lombok for honeymoon occasion, consider staying at Tugu as it has the most romantic beach in the North part of the island. A beautiful white sandy beach combined with breathtaking view is too good to be missed. They offer lots of activities such as golfing, snorkelling to Gili, and some recommended tours. There are not many choices for food outside the hotel though. The service is excellent in many ways. Our stay was the most memorable one as the staff always paid attention to every small detail. It was a truly unique experienceJing’s Residence: "Give the bar a visit and the restaurant a try, even if you don’t stay here."
Lovely place. Look carefully for the oversized, unpainted wooden doors, push them in, and you will be welcomed to a quiet respite with an award winning design, asian inspired western style dishes, attentive staff and a drinkable wine selection. A few choices of red, white and sparkling are available by the glass as well as the carafe, if you choose not to get a bottle. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The food is fresh and well prepared, without the grease or too much salt, that many of the local dishes are overloaded with. The atmosphere comfortable, quiet, and relaxing. Jing restaurant, hotel and spa, is not for the budget minded traveler. The prices are city prices plus service charge. Even so, if you wish to celebrate a special day or create a memorable moment why not have a glass of bubbly or specialty cocktail in their second floor bar looking out onto a simply decorated, peaceful courtyard? It will make you smile.Maison Polanka: "It’s even more beautiful the 2nd time around"
I consider this my home in Siem Reap. Everything about this place is pure magic. From the whole ambiance and the garden, the rooms, the pool, and most of all the restaurant, everything is simply exquisite! The owner Nathalie is a sweetheart, her and her staff are one of the warmest people you will ever meet there in Siem Reap. They arrange trips for you and make sure you are taken cared of even if you are outside the premises. I love love love love Maison Polanka, I'm so grateful to have been there.Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic weekend in HCMC"
This was a lovely hotel for a brief weekend in HCMC. Lovely location, quiet and tranquil setting, beautiful gardens, and loved the boat into the city center. You will need to take a taxi or uber back if you come back later in the evening. There is a beautiful pool which is open 24 hours, and breakfast served all day.
