Villa Song Saigon: "Best Hotel we stayed at in Vietnam"

Review by: lhartman13 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Charming, well-run, well-situated hotel outside the hubbub and pollution of downtown HCMC/Saigon. We stayed here twice during out three week trip through Vietnam and Cambodia. Villa Song was a wonderful respite from the highly charged program. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed; the staff is helpful and professional; the food is excellent. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Room Tip: River view rooms are lovely."

Spend 3 nights at a triple room with 2 adults and 2 children. Very spacious and greatly maintained! It provides very special set-up as the last family house of the last mandarin overseas. Wooden rooms arranged with great detail.

Very relaxing place, with a nice volcanoes and hills view. You can enjoy the restaurant, the spa and the pool. The staff is very kind and can organize meny activities in the coffee plantation or outside.

Tugu Bali: "Truly immersive Balinese gem"

Review by: jakseth | Source: Trip Advisor
Tugu is surely among the most incredible, moody hotel I have ever stayed at. The hotel and rooms are designed with a unique blend ethnic & traditional luxury from another era. We stayed at the Rajang suite with a sea view. The Room featured an enormous elevated bed that made us feel like part of the local royalty. We absolutely loved the food and taking our breakfasts in the covered daybed in the garden facing the waves and surfers going on their favorite activity. Perfect place for a romantic holiday. We will definitely go back.

Mume: "Similar to Raw"

Review by: bcheong | Source: Trip Advisor
"Came here for a meal with overseas friends They don't have set meals, only a la carte. And the menu is short. There were 4 of us, and we ordered 80% of the menu. Almost every dish was spectacular - liver brulee, butter with beef fat, oysters, prawn with cheese, beef, fish etc. Service was friendly and excellent Overall similar to RAW , with slightly less hype and fame Will return"

Satri House: "An Oasis of Calm"

Review by: RickH45 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I must say that when we first arrived very tired after 24 hours of travelling my wife and l wondered where we were. It was dark and the hotel is just off the main road and we could not see the hotel.However on entering the hotel we were delighted with our choice.The staff were extremely helpful and the room was one of the nicest and comfortable rooms we have stayed in The whole hotel and rooms had wonderful objet d'art which added to the ambience. The restaurant was a separate building with outside verandas . We had 2 evening meals and breakfasts during our stay.The food was very well prepared and delicious although the restaurant lacked atmosphere ,most probably because we were out of season. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the centre of town but there were plenty of tuk tuks There are two swimming pools which when we visited in April were very necessary due to the high temperature 40 plus. We didn't want to leave.A delightful hotel"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Fantastic break from the outside world!"

Review by: Rohonesh K | Source: Trip Advisor
During our trip of Cambodia (Jan'18), we spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We drove from Sihanoukville International Airport and were able to reach their reception point in little under 3 hours. The 25 min ride from the reception point to the actual lodge builds up the anticipation in a good way as some of the scenery is just jaw-dropping. Quant little tents with all the required amenities, extremely comfortable and a private deck for yourself, which you can use for enjoying the sun or jumping into the Tatai River wherever you want. With little or no phone connectivity (only Metfone has any sort of connectivity here), you can switch off from the outside world and just spend time with nature. They also take you in a boat to enjoy the sights of fireflies in the evening and it looks magical. You can enjoy the sunset as well (an hour's ride in a boat down the Tatai river) or other trips that they can arrange for you on demand. They maintain a decent DVD collection which you can use (they don't have satellite TV and this is a good change). Paulo (manager) and Narayan were super hospitable and ensured that every little request is taken care of and that you are well looked after. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Cambodia.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Stunning location & venue"

Review by: Rob P | Source: Trip Advisor
"We visited the Sanak retreat as the final leg of our Bali honeymoon. The views are stunning. The cabins are simple but have everything you need. The service & food are both excellent. We loved the place. Only thing that spoilt it a bit for us was the weather but as you can see from pics, when the sun is shining it's glorious. Highly recommended for a really relaxing few days."

Locavore: "Best mark evet"

Review by: Jenny S | Source: Trip Advisor
I tool a friend who lives in Bali here as a thank you for being a guide whiktin Bali. We are both foodies and have eaten meals at some good restaurants, i.e. Ramsay, rhodes, river cafe, boulud, tragebuches, blaue ente, vong, warning, mpw and I can state this was the best meal I have had in years. Save you pennies and go for the full tasting menu with accompanied drinks. Also I recommend lunch as then you can slowly see and recover in the early evening!!!
