Flower Island Resort: "Heavenly"

Review by: Celine M | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent 3 nights at Flower Island for our honeymoon. Just perfect!! A very friendly staff, a beautiful island! The cottages are not on each other. We made a trip to visit a pearl farm, with a barbecue on the beach at the top, then snorkeling on magical places in small group (we were 11 on flower island). If you need a place to rest in peace, go for it!

Rachamankha: "Absolutely stunning"

Review by: anned0_0 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This is a relatively new hotel built in traditional Thai style. It is beautiful - everything about it is beautiful, the architecture, the furniture, the fittings, the ornaments, the swimming pool. Best of all is its location - easily accessible to the main temples in Chiang Mai and within walking distance of the main shopping streets. A small hotel , with friendly staff and comfortable beds. try it - I am sure you cannot fail to be impressed!"

Forget Bali, this will be one of the must eat places in Asia. Sous Chef William creates magic with his team - do try their Desserts, Cocktails besides the oh so amazing food.

David’s Kitchen: "Best Restaurant on Trip To Thailand"

Review by: Rochelle L | Source: Trip Advisor
"I recently visited Davids Kitchen on my honeymoon to Thailand. My husband and I came in with high expectations given the incredibly positive reviews. It was the most fantastic dining experience I can remember - I wish I could give it more than five stars. The host, Tea, was chatty and delightful as we waited for our table. He ensured that the table was customized for our arrival with personalized flower decor for our honeymoon celebration (and a bouquet for me upon departure). The staff was incredibly attentive throughout the evening. The chef came by before we left for feedback on the meal (which was superb so we could only lavish him with praise). Davids Kitchen was a highlight of our trip to Thailand and certainly a highlight of our time spent in Chiang Mai. I cannot recommend strongly enough for a truly special (and delicious) evening."

Hotel Tugu Bali: "Hotel with Soul"

Review by: blueskytraveler22 | Source: Trip Advisor
"If you are an art lover, history lover or luxury lover.. better yet... all three - THIS is your hotel. The minute you walk down the wooden planked front entrance, you know this is a special place. The hotel has been furnished from the owners private collection of antiques. Each piece has a story and specially placed on the property preserving his love of Balinese history. The antiques may be old, but the hotel has all modern wants for luxury but with the a unique touch in their boutique rooms. The baths & plunge pools are the highlight with tubs that you will want to build in your own home. This place is an oasis in Canggu."

Satri House: "Fabulous hotel, charming and comfortable"

Review by: CyrilleFabre | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent 5 days with our 3 kids aged 10, 12, 14. I prefered Satri to the more expensive 5 stars hotels. Indeed, we found Satri house to be more charming because of the traditional asian style and the tropical garden. The hotel is also very comfortable with good amenities, wifi, and pool. The restaurant has both asian and french and is excellent. Good service also. Some small improvement ideas include mosquito net on the window, a place to dry cloth, more hot waters (only 1 bath capacity now)... but still fantastic hotel, highly recommended

Sukoon Houseboa: "Dont Miss it"

Review by: Traveler_Kay_Kay | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had heard lots of bad things about stay in HouseBoats and had finally decided to skip this experience. But thanks to our travel agent who forced us book this place. I just have one Word for the houseboat ""AWESOME""!!! The houseboat is extra clean with no foul odor. The service is top notch! The food was excellent (bit slow in serving) They have well trained staff and could feel the difference with the way they treated people. The Deck was nice and had a very good view. We regret staying for only 1 day, and would surely return for a longer stay. Thanks to the staff of Sukoon for making this a pleasurable experience, was truly the best part of our Kashmir trip."

Villa Song Saigon: "The Best Place To Stay!!!"

Review by: atcboy | Source: tripadvisor.com
We stayed at Villa Song in an Art Suite for 7 nights in October. It could not have been a better ending to a 22 night vacation.  As mentioned numerous times, the location is peaceful, yet with the complimentary boat shuttle, district 1 is a mere 12-15 minute ride away (also a free sightseeing trip). It is newly renovated and has only 23 very tastefully decorated rooms/suites. if you want the chaos and pollution of HCMC at your front door, I wouldn't suggest here. If its elegance, beauty, and genuine heartfelt service, this is the place. Breakfast is anytime and the choices are many. You will not go away hungry. As for dinner choices, the menu is quite large. We seldom eat at our hotel, generally due to quality and overcharging, but ate dinner here 6 nights. We tried every section of the menu. (Asian, western, seafood, salad, noodles, soup...etc.) It was all amazing, and for an extremely very reasonable price. Please do not overlook dining here. We had the opportunity to meet the chef, he is somewhat new to this hotel but has a good deal of experience. He is a young Vietnamese gentleman who is very proud and devoted to his food. All and all, this place is a real gem. The staff are amazing and take great pride in everything that they do. Serene location, Saigon River view, cheap and easy access to district 1, awesome food, and a staff that any hotel would envy...can't beat it!

Supanniga Eating Room: "Absolutely amazing crab"

Review by: Paul A | Source: Trip Advisor
Had a few dishes but the one that stuck with me was the crab curry. I've never had crab meat like that before - was more like flakes of white fish than the usual texture. Flavours were well balanced all round, and reasonably priced.
