The Hue House: "Roof restaurant Tops it in Ho Chi Min City"

Review by: advisormattaust | Source: Trip Advisor
"This roof top restaurant is a lovely spot in district 3. You wouldn't know it was there as the front of it looks like an office block. Look for the Masters Building in Tran Cao Van (just around the corner from the Novotel Hotel). Food was sensational together with great service from our waiter Anh Phuc. It has a lovely ambience and decor with a great drinks / food variety menu catering for all tastes.We went there twice whilst in HCMC, highly recommend this restaurant. We didn't book either time and was able to get in easily . My tip: try the Ga Nurong Dan Toc A Luoi - grilled Chicken"

The Island Lodge: "Magnifique"

Review by: Sophie M | Source: Trip Advisor
Superb hotel in colonial design with views of the Mekong, run by a charming French couple. We ended our trip to Vietnam by staying at the Island Lodge and the only regret we had is not there longer. The home is perfect with a welcome drink, the decor is sought and done with taste, rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a beautiful pool, a spa with a great massage, and a restaurant. It's very nice to meet service standards "French" after 2 weeks in the end of the Vietnam background. Congratulations to the owners who have created this beautiful jewelry.

Babe: "Breath taking food in an amazing vibe"

Review by: nikilundberg | Source: Trip Advisor
"I went to Babe for my last dinner in KL and I couldn't find a better way to end my trip. Everything with this place is magnificent; the atmosphere, the interior, the staff and, of course, the food. I'm a vegetarian so usually it's a little bit harder for me to get that mind blowing experience I know a lot of meat eaters get when they are in places like this. However, this time that wasn't a problem. I tried eight of the vegetarian dishes and each one of them reached above my expectations. I started with the compressed caesar salad which was the best caesar salad I've ever had. Instead of bacon you got a crispy salty coconut flake - such an innovative way of making vegetarian food fun. The dishes kept on rolling in and the majority of them literally exploded in my mouth (when you go there you will understand what i mean). A must try is the watermelon carpaccio, the potato puré with onion jam and the beet root role. And also, if you are a fan of miso soup - it's the best I've ever had. Besides the food I had a couple of drinks and they all kept the level. Try the Malaysian tea - it's so delicious! When leaving this place it came to me that it won't be long until I visit KL again. Thank you Babe for giving me an experience I'll never forget."

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "You haven’t lived until you’ve seen this! Absolutely Magical"

Review by: Dragos B | Source: Trip Advisor
"I've traveled on 6 continents, from the South to the North Pole, from luxury cruises to great hotels and guess what: Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris is by far among the very best experiences you can have. The stuff is National Geographic-quality, the food is 100X better than you get in any hotel, and everything is made with love and hard work. You stay in the heart of the jungle, the stars in the sky and torches in the ground guide you through the forest at night, you wake up to the music of tropical birds. This is the place to find your inner peace, your wild heart and remember what life is really about. I will be back soon! See you there!"

Flower Island Resort: "Très bien"

Review by: Browning B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Nous avons séjourné sur cette île resort 4 nuits, nous nous sommes régalés.Les bungalows sont simples et pratiques, vous êtes pas sur les mêmes standing européen, mais nous avons adoré. La vue sur la plage et sur le sunset nous dépayse.Concernant le snorkelling, il suffit de plonger devant l'hôtel et vous pourrez voir des Green turtle et des anémones fish. Pour les repas, c'est sous forme de buffet et ils sont assez généreux, un seul bémol est les desserts... Le wifi à la reception est nickel.Nous avons testé les massages par 2 fois, ils sont bien exécutés mais le bungalow pourrait être déplacé au bord de la mer car il est à côté du restaurant ce qui peut être gênant (bruit).Par contre peu de monde au bar Nous y retournerons sans problème"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "First-class"

Review by: aps_san | Source: tripadvisor.com
Our wonderful experience here was probably some function of us being the only guests for 3 days, since we arrived in the low season when the skies were pouring. However my sense is that the service here is generally very good. The cottage (sea-view) was a little smaller than I expected but extremely comfy and clean. The open-to-sky bath was a delight. This small resort has a fantastic private beach, a nice pool fronting the beach, great food (especially if you like the local Malabar specialties), attentive staff, an experienced spa and ayurveda team, and basically everything else you need for a memorable luxurious vacation. Highly recommend. WE visited the Bekal Fort and the Valiyaparamba backwaters (houseboat cruise) - both stunning.

Villa Song Saigon: "Amazing boutique hotel"

Review by: Janssen123 | Source: Trip Advisor
An amazing boutique hotel besides the Saigon river. Normal rooms are a little small but the suites are amazing. My spouse and I stayed in a suite with balcony and we truely loved it. Everything is just great. All staff are most pleasant and Freddie at the terrace restaurant made sure we were well taken care of. For my birthday, flowers with a personal card was delivered to our suite; how attentive!. A private boat takes you from the hotel to the city (district 1) and at specified times, the boat will bring you back. We stayed 4 nights at this wonderful hotel and we enjoyed every minute of it!
