Villa Song Saigon: "very satisfied customer"
This is a great place to stay if you like being treated like royalty. The staff is all fabulous, the room was very comfortable, and the food and drinks were exceptional. The chef came out to greet us personally and discuss meal options. Convenient boat shuttle to downtown Ho Chi Minh City.Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing 2 day safari"
We had such a brilliant time with Noel and his staff at Leopard Safari. We were 2 families with 4 kids aged 7 to 11 years old. The campsite (or glampsite) was beyond my expectation. Everything is provided (including your own flushing toilet!). The food was the best I had in Sri Lanka and the staff were very helpful. There was even a pool to cool down and a lounge/bar area to have a pre-dinner drink and meet fellow guests. The actual safari trips were wonderful. It's not like Africa where the animals are everywhere, but it was so much fun and we saw a lot of them. We saw spotted deer, water buffalo, monkey's, wild boar, elephants, land monitors, wild chickens, many many beautiful birds, crocodiles and 3 leopards. I would highly recommend this safari.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A Glimps of Time"
"The time we entered the Blue Mansion, we were embraced in the aroma of ancient times. I spent a whole evening visiting around the hotel and had a wonderful time enjoying the scenes. When it was getting dark gradually and the red lanterns were on, it seemed I had traveled back to the old times. It was a pleasant and satisfying trip to this hotel. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Good couple of nights"
We spent two lovely nights there. The location is stunning and the tents are very well set up with aircon, comfy beds and a great shower. The menu is short but well prpepared and we really enjoyed our kayaking expedition. It takes quite a while to get there but definitely worth a couple of nights for something memorable and different.Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Excellent"
"Seadance resort provided a very laid back and relaxing experience for us from the minute we arrived. The location is fairly quiet but a short cab ride will get you to anything the island has to offer, if that's what you want. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the food in the restaurant excellent (great view over the pool and ocean), but above all the staff were excellent. They made us feel right at home, they were great with our two young boys (6 and 4) and clearly thought that nothing was too much trouble. It's fair to say the beach isn't awesome but it's still a sandy stretch where you can sit and watch the water, lie on a sunbed or let the kids play. We would go back to this resort."Maduzi Hotel: "Favourite Hotel"
Their service is always impeccable. They revamped their breakfast menu and it's amazing. Apart from healthy options, they added fancy options like truffle quiche. You must try their freshly baked croissant too... you will not regret it. It is literally the best croissant I've ever had. I've stayed in Maduzi for my last three trips to bkk and I plan to come back for my future trips.Sukoon Houseboat: "SIMPLY the BEST"
I returned here in 2016 for another week because I had stayed the previous year and I couldn't wait to get back.This must be THE BEST LUXURIOUS houseboat on Daal Lake with the most attentive staff.Breakfast on the roof is what travelling worth saving our time and money for. Lunch and Dinner are carefully prepared.The ambience of the Houseboat,its architecture ,its setting on the furthermost quiet part of the lake and all the wonderful staff are well worth venturing to this amazing part of the world for an experience that will stay with you in your most unique travel memories.Villa Idanna: "A tranquil place at the foot of Mount Agusng"
"I stayed at this villa for 3 days and it was awesome for someone who wants to have a quiet village experience. You wake up and saw the holy Mount Agung in front of the villa. There is no TV or other electronic media in the villa so you just enjoy the experience without disruption. The villa is served by 4 local staff from the area, in fact one staff lives in front of the villa. For the entire 3 days we were served with local Sidemen dishes and they were fantastic. During the day, a lot of tourists mostly expatriates were seen cycling or walking around the village. At the top of the hill, I went to visit ibu Dayu a friend of many celebrities like Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Walter Spies. Her house is also facing Mount Agung, we had lunch and enjoyed her company."4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "The Hidden Gem on the River of Tatai Waterfall"
"I rarely reviewed any hotels unless it's an outstanding hotel, but my stay at 4 Rivers last week was unforgettable, such a beautiful resort set on the river Tatai along the Cardamom Mountain, the tents is just a beautiful set up while every is so attentive start from the moment we arrived the check in lounge on mainland, everyone make sure that we are really comfortable during the stay Let mentioned about the responsible of the staff, I went for dinner but when I arrived back at the tent, my bed was made up, they sprayed the mosquito spray also burnt the scent About the resort itself, it like living close to the nature, wake up next to the mountain but inside your own luxury tent I would pay a visit again one time soon to the resort, very highly recommend"Supanniga Cruise: "Exquisite dinner and tour on the Chao Phraya !"
A must do and see when in Bangkok, charming cruise that will ride you close by the upmost historical places and monuments.
