The River Resort: "Mekong glorious"

Review by: 張 亭 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We got upgraded for being the first Taiwanese visitors in its much venerated history (lol) and the river view is so very good, even a terrible photographer could shoot a photo with hues like Apocalypse Now or King Kong. Food is actually unexpectedly good, all the staff are wonderful people, I could not come up with anything to complain except that it's kinda weird with hotel this big and visitors this scarce, a bit ""Get Out"" as my friends and I had consensus upon."

Locavore: "A must in Ubud"

Review by: Hamil C | Source: Trip Advisor
Amazing detail to local dishes. We would recommend to anyone travelling to Ubud. Both meat and vege options were incredible. Also great value for money.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Unique, cool hideaway"

Review by: AndyStrode | Source: Trip Advisor
Funky public areas, with quirky vintage decor everywhere. Location is superb. Staff are brilliant. Food - limited choice but very good indeed. The perfect omlette. Very much a hideaway. Actual rooms a little tired.

Misool Eco Resort: "Unique and Amazing!"

Review by: worldvegans | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I have traveled enough to say this resort is one of the most amazing, unique places in the world. The story behind the why the resort exists and the process to create it so impressive. The diving, as many others have pointed out, is some of the best bar none. Yes...there are some challenges. Not the easiest place to get to. They could also do a better job with communication prior to arrival. (hopefully being solved soon) Once you arrive and get one night's good sleep, you will be so happy you made the journey. We did the 9+1 trip and that felt like a very good length. Next time (and there will very likely be a next time within the next few years) we will likely go for the 12+1. There is so much to do even when you are not diving but we spent most of our time diving because the dive team is great and its just so magical underwater. Of course you don't want to miss the dive when others in your group just spend 30 minutes with three mantas right? I could go on and on about why and how this team is making miracles in this tiny island but I prefer short reviews on trip advisor. If you love to see underwater life and have the time and money to make this journey, give it a go and have a wonderful experience."

Bassac Mekong Delta Cruises by Secret Retreats: "Excellent overnight cruise"

Review by: SarahWB2013 | Source: Trip Advisor
I agree with all the other reviews that rate this highly. Annie was our guide too (on Bassac III, the biggest of their 3 boats, sleeping a maximum of 24). Annie was a lovely guide with extremely good English. Even though she was a last minute substitute for another guide who had been taken ill, and she had been working herself and was expecting to go and visit her mother, she was gracious, enthusiastic and helpful. I didn't get up to see the sunrise but I loved the visit to the floating market and the peacefulness and beauty of the smaller canal we went along.

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Most attractive place in Laos"

Review by: Stefan S | Source: Trip Advisor
We have visited Muang La Lodge several times over the last four years (twice this year) and find it to be the most exciting place to visit in Southeast Asia. A day trip (several on this trip) to the Hmong village coupled with the most pleasant service, local entertainment at Christmas, spa treatment, hit mineral natural hot spring makes it an exceptional experience. The management and the entire staff is an absolute joy to be with while the food is TOP quality. Comes highly recommended!

Samanea Beach Resort: "The best choice"

Review by: Sopanha Y | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have been in Kep for many times but this time I just found Samanea Beach, it is so beautiful with swimming pool, garden and sea view. It is a real relaxing place to stay and their staffs are friendly and sweet. They also serves very delicious sea food there. The most important thing is the Bungalow room is reasonable price."

Manda De Laos: "Romantic dinner by the pond"

Review by: BeenThereAlready_12 | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed at Maison Dalabua (same property) and were lucky to get reservations the first night of our stay. Great food (Laotian with a French touch). Good cocktails and all at very moderate prices - maybe not for local standads (one can eat cheaper in town) but considering the quality of food very reasonably priced.

Villa Song Saigon: "Calm oasis"

Review by: rachelsO4386LK | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel is a calm oasis away from the bustle of the busy city with its thousands of motor cyclists. Friendly helpful staff, a stunning building and a refreshing clean swimming pool, with delicious food (local and international) served in the garden by the river. We liked the tablet computer photos (brought to the table) of the food so we could see before we ordered - a nice touch. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"
