VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Excellent stay and wonderful experience"

Review by: Rod A | Source: tripadvison.com
"Recently enjoyed a three night stay at the Villa Song on my first vist to Vietnam. The hotel and stay thorougly exceeded my expecatations. The location was ideal, a short boat ride or cab (use Uber if you have it) ride from the center of Ho Chi Minh city which provided ideal - getting away from the intensity of the city center was fantastic. The setting of the hotel is absolutley picturesque. Very beautiful area on the river, great area for relaxing, having a meal, having a drink, just fantastic. Very peaceful and enjoyable. Pool area is also very good - they offer service at the pool so no need to go anywhere for refreshments or food. Plenty of chairs and shade. You MUST visit the spa during your stay! I enjoyed several treatments that were simply world class and delivered by the warmest and most friendly staff (sorry that I forgot her name!). Don't miss the spa during your stay! All of the staff were friendly, warm and accommodating. Service was spot on. Hotel was immaculately clean. Room was fantastic - clean, cool, well equppied, great bed, great linens, very quiet and great sleep. You cannot go wrong staying at the Villa Song Saigon - should I return to Vietnam I would say here without hesitation. "

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Home away from home with a beautiful view"

Review by: SheenaTomar | Source: Trip Advisor
"Had an amazing time with my friends. The property is really beautiful, safe, clean and quiet with gorgeous views of the blue water. The staff is helpful and very friendly esp Bryan. Bryan was very prompt with his replies over email and arranged the taxi pick up, Kawasan fall tour and island hopping tour with no hassle. Food at the resort is delicious. One night we even made our cocktails as we were craving for margaritas. I even had a relaxing spa right next to beach with calming sound of the waves. Totally worth the money. I am sure we will be visiting again whenever we go back to cebu. Thanks Bryan for the helping us out. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

The Governor’s House: "Oasis of calm"

Review by: stuartcloake | Source: tripadvisor.com
I have to say, for the first time in many years, all the team at The Governors House made my wife and I feel so welcome, that we did, dab our eyes a little as we left. It really is somewhere special amongst the chaos and mayhem that is Phnom Penh. There was the comfortable room, the excellent restaurant (the best John Dory I have eaten since leaving Europe), the marvels of the wine cellar, the refreshing pool, however, the crowning glory is the human touch, so good that we declined to go anywhere else during our 4 night stay, except for sight seeing. Alain and his team, Francois, Samlot, Mary and Kim and the others all touched our life in a way that is uniquely Cambodian, when we return it is because of them, not because of the amazing temples, fantastic pagodas and jaw dropping scenery. Thank you to you all.

Nimmu House: "4 nights of sheer bliss"

Review by: VagabondOnTheMove | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent a bulk of our stay in Ladakh at Nimmu House and it truly was the best decision ever. We stayed in one of the tents which was super spacious and extremely comfortable. The property itself is a picture-book-kinda pretty and we just loved hanging out at the patio or napping on the hammocks. But what makes Nimmu feel more like a home than a house is the fantastic team running the place. From the manager to the chefs to the wait-staff down to the housekeeping and gardeners, everybody is just really nice and welcoming and ready to help if needed. The best part about our stay here however, was the food. After some pretty average meals in the rest of Ladakh, the meals at Nimmu were just fantastic. Do yourself a favour and don't book just a single night here. Ideally, once you're done sightseeing and roadtripping, stop by here for at least 3 days of R&R...you won't regret it. The only one piece of feedback we had for the management/ owners was to invest in better power back up. With frequent power cuts, it's a must."

Tugu Lombok: "Short break. Very relaxing"

Review by: Miguel_Lec | Source: Trip Advisor
We went with my wife for a long weekend (4 days) and it was just perfect. Starting from the booking experience, it was done both very professionally and with a lot of kindness. All required information properly provided. Then you get to the place and it is just very nice and everyone is ready to help for you to have a nice moment. Well done Tugu Hotel, hope to come back anytime soon.

This is a most elegant and beautiful hotel with lovely facilities- beautifully furnished - lovely swimming pool and other pools. Gardens a delight. It is in a lovely quiet area, tucked back from the road and only a 15 minute stroll into town.

MesaStila: "Excellent resort with superb service and lots of fun activities"

Review by: Elisa H | Source: Trip Advisor
"The resort is beautiful and the staffs are very friendly and helpful. I purchased a package that has free breakfast, afternoon tea and all resort activities such as coffee plantation tour, yoga, learn how to draw a batik. They also produce their own robusta coffee, which tasted delicious for me, My highlight of the day is being able to hit a big gong right in the middle of their courtyard. I highly recommend this resort Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Wonderful stay!!"

Review by: Johnlynne15 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in this relaxing, peaceful location, close to nature and local people. Comfortable accommodation with the river to dip into. We can recommend the kayaking trip and the Tatai Waterfall, where we swam in the river before choosing to kayak part of the return journey.Great fun and exhilarating! We loved the Fireflies we were so lucky to see them in full glory close to the Lodges. The staff and guides at Four Rivers are dedicated to the care of the guests, courteous, friendly and quietly enthusiastic. The food was good, especially our freshly caught clams that were cooked for us that evening and so delicious!"
