Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Not your usual hotel"

"This historic building provides a totally different experience to that of modern hotels. The cool, calm quiet of the hotel provides a relaxed environment and the pleasant, helpful staff ensure your needs are met. Good location for old George Town and within walking distance of shopping centres, night food market next door."

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "A real highlight of our trip"

"What they are doing at the Inle Heritage should be used as an example for the rest of Myanmar and for other hotels in emerging markets. Service was fantastic, at first we felt a little overwhelmed with all of the greetings and personal care from the staff.. given that there are 4 times as many staff as guests you may understand why it may feel like this, but after a short while we realised that they are all genuinely lovely, friendly staff that are eager to please and interact with you.. We embraced it. We visited during a very heavy storm and a very large piece of bamboo was hitting against the side of our room, we only mentioned it briefly to a junior member of staff on the way to breakfast and by the time we returned from our day trip it had been cut back.. A huge bamboo tree that would need some serious work.. We were extremely impressed with the effort. Food was excellent and the setting beautiful. Thanks Inle Heritage and keep up your efforts! Stayed January 2016, traveled as a couple"

MesaStila: "Amazing"

"Thank you MesaStila for a fantastic weekend at your resort. I was very impressed by the kindness of your staff. They new exactly who we were when we came. So helpful and smiling all of them. The resort is very pretty and kept in old traditional style all around. And So peaceful and quiet. The rooms are big and cosy. The garden is very nice and nice coffee plantation tour. Spa is also really good. Wow! I definitely come back! "

Locavore: "Full of Surprise"

This was really really full of amazing food taste and surprise in Locavore. We had a seven course Herbivore menu, it taste fantastic. We were surprised by the countless amuse bouche! This was amazing🤗contemporary vegetarian food experience for me and my mum!

Maison Polanka: "On point design boutique"

Charming boutique hotel with fantastic design and grounds. Well located and helpful staff. The restaurant itself was a bit mediocre, but the setting was so special that it didn't matter. The spa was also quite enjoyable. Given the price compared to some of the other design hotels in the area, I would definitely choose Maison Polanka again.

Arumdalu: "Lovely and peaceful"

We had the resort to ourselves for 4 days.If you want some fresh air and peace and quiet this is the place to come! Beautiful beach and lovely staff! Just watch out for the sandflies. Two days would probably be ideal.

Villa Song Saigon: "Great place to stay with easy boat access to downtown Saigon"

"Stayed in the family suite for just a night at the end of a 4 week trip across Asia. Villa Song was one of the best surprises of the trip, Great Boutique hotel, nice breakfast, decent massages and really convenient private speedboat to connect to downtown Would definitely stay again"

arumdalu: "a hidden gem filled with surprises!"

We never expect to find such a refine place at the very southern tip of Belitung island. A very creative and delicate cuisine, sustainable practices to save energy or natural fogging, an attentive service, large villa with private pool, 800m of white sand beach and beautiful landscape. Only recommend to people who appreciate quiet beauty!!!

Manukan Island Resort: "Charming villas with great staff"

"We stayed for one night in a beachside villa. Staff encountered were all very friendly and professional. Upon check in we were shown to our room, given a welcome tea and a friendly introduction to the room and facilities on the island. The room itself was so charming - spacious, well laid out, clean and very comfortable all round with beach towels and thongs provided and a cute little balcony overlooking the beach, it suited the environment perfectly and you really couldn't ask for anything more. We were warned that they switch generators several times a day and as such we may experience power disruptions but this was very minimal. The outside breakfast buffet was okay, we did notice insects crawling over some of the breads. Dinner, although the menu was somewhat limited, was really lovely with tables and fairy lights set up next to the beach complete with three musicians performing songs for every table - very romantic. Most of the many tourists on day trip leave the island by 4pm and after this you can really appreciate and enjoy the environment you are in as during the day it is not as pleasant, crowded and noisy. The walk to Sunset Point was a highlight though the pagoda there doesn't offer the best view - continue down the small path to the rocks, very serene. We had an earlyish flight to catch on the day of our departure and the staff were happy to ensure an early boat back to KK was made available to us. We were offered a friendly farewell and as we boarded our boat and were about to depart, a staff member ran out to return a power cable we had accidentally left behind in our room which was much appreciated. If you are planning on visiting Manukan Island we would recommend staying at this resort - very enjoyable and well managed and you are able to experience the island without the daily crowds."

Villa Song: "Outstanding Hotel in Every Way!"

"Our experience with the Villa Song hotel has been excellent, with tremendous service and communication starting even before we arrived. From helping us to arrange car service from the airport, to recommending and reserving excursions, to accommodating changes in our travel plans, the service we have experienced has been top notch. When we missed our layover flight in Dubai we immediately let our friends at Villa Song know that we would be delayed a day. Even though we we only gave them a few hours notice they got back to us right away, to let us know that it wouldn’t be a problem. When we arrived at the hotel the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and confirmed our excursions that evening. The Vespa ride in Saigon and the boat trip on the Mekong Delta were fantastic and reasonably priced. When we saw our room - the imperial suite - we immediately decided to cancel the next leg of our trip and extend our stay at Villa Song for an additional 3 nights. The staff were very accommodating and told us we could stay in the same room. Everything in the room is high end, very clean and the bed and bedding are exceptional. The spa Service is OFF THE CHARTS good. We had a couples hot stone massage and I had a facial. Again, the prices were excellent! The food has surpassed our expectations. Breakfast is complimentary - I would suggest the waffles, with green coconut chutney - delicious! Lunch and dinner were five stars. My only small suggestion is that the white wine could be a little colder. The food is phenomenal!! This is a place to come to eat even if you don’t stay here. Lastly, the service at Villa song is as good, if not better, than any of the 6/7 star hotels in the West. Everyone was ready to help ensure that our honeymoon would be unforgettable. We leave the day after tomorrow for the St Regis in Langkawi, Malaysia - and to be honest - we want to stay here! Special thank you’s to Ms. Truc, Mr. Toan and Freddy. Thanks to you for making our time here unforgettable!! "
