Villa Song: "Amazing City experience"

"we had a fantastic stay at the Villa. the staff and Manager were extremely helpful and friendly. we are not city lover so this location was ideal and the speedboat transfer meant we had limited experience of traffic jams. The hotel organized all our tours and there were superb. Would highly recommend this hotel the food was excellent and been only 23 room it did feel you were getting one on one personal service. thank you all for making this the great experience it was."

Chakrabongse Villas: "A real oasis – beautiful and worth every cent :)"

"Chakrabongse Villas is a really luxurious boutique hotel. We were guests here for 3 nights in April, and we wanted for nothing. We were offered a welcome cocktail when we arrived late in the evening, and our villa was traditional Thai style, and it was well appointed, clean and cool. We had a lovely private balcony overlooking the garden, with fresh flowers, pool towels, daybeds and shade aplenty. Having large villas, lovely gardens and only a handful of villas, we hardly ever saw another guest! We enjoyed the pool and the activity on the river, which we were on the banks of. Grounds are very private, with locked gates. Staff are unobtrusive but efficient, and the clamour, heat and bustle of Bangkok stops at the gates, and you enter a true oasis of calm and luxury. The riverside restaurant is also lovely and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast there each morning, with exquisite service, lovely food, and tourism advice as required. We took their longtail boat tour through the canals one afternoon, and thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was reasonably priced, too. One night we ate at the restaurant for dinner, and really, we were treated like royalty. A treat for the soul, and lovely, simple set menu, deliciously prepared. It was my husband's birthday one day, and they gave him a lovely gift. Add all of this together, and you have an exemplary service provider. Expensive but as i say, well worth it. Congratulations Chakrabongse crew, keep up the good work! Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

The River Resort: "Magical environment. Great people."

Very rarely am I blown away with a hotel. This time I was. Met at airport by Hotel car. Taken to this place that appears to be in the middle of nowhere built on the bank of the river. Arranged direct transfer as was quoted 3 times as much by an agency. Set around rice fields. Had three night stay. Was not long enough. Room weas great. Large balconies front and back. Indoor and outdoor showers. Lots of space. Most helpful staff. Arrange tuc tuc - or even car if you are that way inclined - to Wat Phu and other places nearby, Good open restaurant overlooking the river. Enjoyed the food (and for me that is not always the case).And really lovely people who went out of their way to assist in every way. Its the only place to stay if you wish to visit Wat Phu. And that is something that you really ought to wish to do.

The Island Lodge: "A piece of the French Riviera in the Mekong Delta"

Michel and Francoise have created a beautiful boutique resort on the banks of the Mekong river surrounded by an island filled with fruit trees, smallholdings and trails. Food is excellent, rooms are excellent, service is excellent, the ambience is romantic and decadent. Wonderful freshly made French pastries are available for breakfast if you wish. This is a very classy place indeed with lovely gardens and a swimming pool perfect for cooling off from the steamy heat. If you're the active type (we are) then there are cycle and boat tours available from the hotel, if not then lie back and watch the ebb and flow of the river...

Arumdalu Private Resort: "A great escape, yet conserving nature as well!"

A large sized room designed with combination of modern-indonesian style. Environment is nice and well preserved. Air temperature is suprisingly quite cool, unlike the other beaches in common. Oh, Don't forget the food, the chef has an ultimate way to satisfy your gastronomic needs! Recommended place to stay.

Satri House: "Perfect. bliss"

"Nothing to add really to the other reviewers. This place is splendid with style and characters, quiet because a bit away from the main road. Will absolutely return. Would only say that breakfast service is a bit difficult - you have to order piecemeal (or anyway, that's what our waitress did). Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Good couple of nights"

We spent two lovely nights there. The location is stunning and the tents are very well set up with aircon, comfy beds and a great shower. The menu is short but well prpepared and we really enjoyed our kayaking expedition. It takes quite a while to get there but definitely worth a couple of nights for something memorable and different.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion Logo Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "An amazing, surreal place to stay."

The Blue Mansion is such an amazing place to stay. You feel as though you've stepped back in time, while taking all the comforts from modern society with you. The staff here were amazing and really went out of their way to make the stay special. The beds were super comfortable and the room extremely clean.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Julie & Co"

It's the best Villa Complex in Gili Air, though it's very expensive you get the most comfort on Gilies you can get there. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the meals and supplies are delicious.
