Tugu Lombok: "Simply the best"

Review by: pidou74 | Source: Trip Advisor
The best hotel we have ever been to (and we have been to a lot of 5 stars). Wonderful for honeymoon and any romantic vacation! Simply perfect! A spa with the best massages and treatments ever. One little minus for the fitness room, which is really nothing in comparison with the wonderful rest. Beautiful property, great beach, amazing food. You will regret not having seen this hotel, honestly.

Misool Eco Resort: "Active Family with 8 year old and 4 year old boys"

Review by: Khasha M | Source: Trip Advisor
"We traveled all over Indonesia for 9 weeks, and we absolutely LOVED Misool. Here's the scoop: 1. Accommodations - There is nice variety of room types, and every room has a fantastic view. In my estimation the resort's website accurately portrays the cottages and villas. They are all tastefully appointed, very clean, and well maintained. Stunning views right over the ""house reef"" (a large beautiful reef right out in front of the resort that is teeming with wildlife - sharks, turtles, and a huge variety of sea life. We stayed in one of the largest villas - Villa Utara - HIGHLY recommend this unit if you're 4 or more people. All units have their own decks with direct access right into the lagoon and over the reef.(...) 4. Diving and Snorkeling - Let me first state that I have been diving in more places around the world, than anyone else I've ever met. That being said, Raja Ampat is the best diving I've ever done, seen, or heard of on the planet. Dense population of wildlife, massive variety... simply awesome. The snorkeling on the house reef is better than most of the diving that people would rave about elsewhere. 5. Children and Family - at age 8 and 4, our boys do not dive. However, they still had a blast. They learned to snorkel, we went paddle boarding, kayaking, playing on the beach, looking for coconut crabs at night (found many)... no shortage of ways to fill the day and have a great time. Look, if you've read this far, I'll tell you that I only have a few reviews on trip advisor. Like most people, I'm more inclined to whine if things don't go well than to report my good experiences (check my other two reviews that are one star). However, we loved this place so much that I feel compelled to urge you to go. "

Villa Mathis: "what a great stay"

Review by: Medy N | Source: tripadvisor.com
"A romantic gataway with an amazing service and an amazing manager. We felt taken care every moment of our stay. Villas are very state full designed. With so many small corners, lounges, pools and cabanas we never felt in a hotel, more like a private Home. liked it a lot and just 10 min from the Buzz. great work guys keep it up."

Inle Princess Resort: "LOVELY PLACE"

Review by: Sandra F | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed in a Lake House room - that is very large – and it was wonderful to sit in an armchair on the private deck to admire the lake. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast delicious. The restaurant is good and is well located, just in front of the lake. It is a lovely hotel.

Locavore: "amazing restaurant"

Review by: Lingxiao G | Source: Trip Advisor
"e went for a lunch 7 courses menu. food was delicious. every plate presented was a big wow and then hmmmmm! service is courteous and efficient. sometimes hard to understand the ingredients and feel waiters are just reciting the names without putting too much passion into it. but they get things done. the cocktail pairing is left a bit to be desired.. some are a bit too strong compared to the food. suggest to order wine/cocktails a la carte worth every cent and every minute of your time. if you happen to be in ubud and some budget to spare, go to locavore."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Fabulous Eco-chic"

Review by: PateLisbon | Source: Trip Advisor
"Magical stay at 4Rivers floating lodge at Tatai river. The eco resort is beautiful and lovely settings. The private tends are well appointed, with air conditioning and toilet. Although, during the night the electricity went down a couple times. Take the waterfall tour with picnic and go and enjoy a pure natural environment. The resort is located in the middle of a private natural reserve , 6h from Phnom Penh and 5h to sihanoukvillle. The place is truly magical and if you want a real peaceful experience to relax from daily stress, this is the place to go. Restaurant menu limited but very good.The wifi exists but it's limited. There's also DVD and books available to guests. You could swim and jump from your tend directly to the river. Water is mixed (fresh and salt) and it's secure (no crocs) although it's impressive to swim without seeing the bottom. There's only 6 tends on each side, with magnificent jungle view which gives you a sense of peace and tranquility. Our 2 days stay was memorable and magical. We are a family with teens and they loved this resort. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Sukoon Houseboat: "Perfect luxurious houseboat, great service, food and location"

Review by: HKTRsTravels | Source: Trip Advisor
We booked the suite at the back of the boat which was very quiet. Babu the waiter was fantastic. The food was really great, had the best momos (even in Nepal/Tibet they are soggy and poor quality). The little motor boat to take us to and from the shore was perfect. Definitely take a little Shikara for an hour's boat ride. Take time to relax and enjoy the houseboat though. Good book and some Kashmiri tea, perfect.

Villa Song: "Fantastic Relaxing Location 5*"

Review by: CharmBrisbane | Source: Trip Advisor
"Amazing hotel and not that far from the centre. Perfect for a getaway if you live in Vietnam and also if you want to stay out of the hustle of the main centre. Gorgeous river location and fantastic staff. Caters for Asian and Western customers. The pool and surrounds are very relaxing."

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.
