Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful hotel"
It's a bit of an odd drive to get here, out of main areas and thru village streets but well worth the drive. It's a very boutique hotel. No lifts and 3 floors. Beautiful wooden floorboards everywhere. Our reception greeting was friendly and very easy check in. We had to book 2 rooms (travelling with teens) and do wish we had upgraded at least our room to have a balcony. The windows on the 3rd floor are small but do open fully which is nice. The rooms are small but beautifully appointed. Everything has been finished to a very high standard. Lovely bathrooms and very comfortable bed. The outside restaurant/bar is a gorgeous area. Exactly what we expected and part of reason for our booking here. It's a beautiful spot on the banks of the river watching the sunset (or rise). The food and drinks are really good. The dinner menu isn't Vietnamese but after almost 3 weeks we didn't mind having some fusion food. Seafood was all beautiful. The staff are lovely. The pool area is nice, a large pool, very warm with seating around it. The pool is at the back of the hotel and has no bar or cafe attached to it. The gym is small with only 1 treadmill but it's a good quality one. The free mini bar is 2 beers 3 waters 1 juice and a soft drink. The coffee in the room is terrible, luckily we bought everything we need to make our own cafe sua da with us. The free boat into the city is great. We are doing the Cu Chi tunnels tour arriving by boat and the boat driver is able to pick us up from the hotel jetty (and drop us back here) saving us 45 min trip each way to and from the meeting point. Very happy with this hotel, definitely recommend itMie Cafe: "Excellent restaurant – Probably one of the best in Siem Reap!"
Restaurant located at the bottom of a beautiful and well manicured garden. Both service and food were excellent, comparable to certain gastronomic restaurants that can be found in Paris. We particularly liked the creativity of the Chef who subtly and successfully mixed Cambodian and Western food. We highly recommend this place to people who want a change from the classic Khmer food.Labyrinth: "Revisit"
I love the food here for its creativity and presentation. Unfortunately both times that I came, I was barely satiated and had to look for “proper” food after the meal to fill me up. Always an interesting experience dining here, just wished the portions were bigger.Heritage Suites: "Awesome Stay"
I had an awesome stay here in Heritage. Very accommodating staff, they're all smiling and helpful. This is the best place to relax and to chill. Very unique, clean and big and classy room. The pool is clean as well. Delicious food and good drinks served while there's a band playing good music. Their boat cruise is super amazing I enjoyed watching the sunset! Will surely recommend to my friends!Glenburn Tea Estate: "Perfect!"
"I travellec with a small group of people to Glenburn in October 2015. The location is magical. Yes, it's worth the bumpy ride getting there. Rooms are exquisite. Morning tea in the room was heavenly! All the meals were very good, the Bengali dinner was exceptional. Meals were served at different beautiful locations around the estate, one dinner was under the star lit sky... The staff are exceptionsl - very attentive, very obliging, And we were treated to the majestic beauty of Kanchenjunga on the last day of our stay. The icing on the cake! Can't wait to get back. Thanks Husna and Darlen for your wonderful managemnet of our booking. And thanks to all the staff for the pampering!!"Villa Song Saigon: "Just Wonderful"
"We loved staying here. It is a beautiful oasis in the middle of a bustling city. They service was impeccable! They allowed us to check in early and check out VERY late which was so convenient for us. They have a wonderful scheduled boat that takes you to the center of Saigon in 15 minutes which was just so fun. The idea that you can have your free breakfast any time of the day is perfect! They scheduled a tour for us and we were picked up right on the hotel's dock. The pool was nice and quiet. The restaurant is right on the river and has very good food "Chakrabongse Villas: "A small green exotic oasis of calm, beauty and exclusivity"
"Chakrabongse Villas is very different to your everyday boutique hotel. I have been a guest at Chakrabongse for 12 years on at least 40 occasions. Here your privacy is respected and preserved and you do not have to deal with the typical petty tourists that you find in all the large hotels. You will hardly ever see another guest since they all have their own villa and outside area. Strangers are not permitted to enter the grounds and wander around. The staff are invisible until you need or want them. The outside world of hustle and bustle stops at the gate and you enter a small green exotic oasis of calm, beauty and exclusivity. Room Tip: Every villa is beautifully themed and decorated with art and antiques."Reverie Siam: "Truly memorable stay"
Amazing place, very quiet and peaceful. The garden and hotel grounds are gorgeous. Room is huge and clean. Food is really delicious, great option for breakfast and dinner. Staff is super warm welcome and will sincerely do everything to make your stay truly memorable. They know very well how to provide the best service. Especially thanks to Khun Dee from restaurant. We'll definitely be back.Sanak Retreat Bali: "Un délicieux séjour"
Living in Asia, we found this hotel through SHANTI Bali who organized our stay on the island. Travel and perfect organization from beginning to end, which ended in Munduk. Frame, home, architecture, room, meals, walks in the rice fields. EVERYTHING is able to Sanak. THE next "wasted away ALL" that the wi-fi jumps and there is no activity around bcp. To do to relax and enjoy the sublime and soothing views, all complete with a hot stone massage very successful. We recommend Shanti Bali travel and hotel SanakDavid’s Kitchen: "Lovely and memorable birthday celebration"
Our family (with a 7yr old kid) just had dinner at David's Kitchen and it indeed lives up to its rave reviews as the top restaurant in Chiangmai. from the minute we entered the restaurant, the service was impeccable. From a personalized table signage wishing my husband and son a happy birthday to a birthday card, the birthday singing from the entire work crew and extra effort to cater to our separate tastebuds, we couldn't have asked for more for a memorable birthday celebration! I had the dinner set with the melt in your mouth pumpkin soup and beef cheeks main course. My husband had the ala carte escargots for appetizer and lobster fettuccine for his mains. It was really yummy but we thought the prawn ravioli that my son had was even better even though it cost less. The waitress was also thoughtful enough to spilt up my set menu salmon appetizer so we could both share. And another waiter was pro-active to offer my son some colouring kit to keep him occupied in a fine dining restaurant. And we also had a chance to meet David and his wife who were on hand to speak to us and wish our family the birthday greetings. His crew has certainly learnt well from the boss for all the thoughtful gestures, thank you to all!;)Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
