Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A M A Z I N G"

"You are looking at a small resort with bungalows for rooms. Do not expect large hotel amenities but nothing will turn you off either. Its a hidden gem that offers exquisite luxury and privacy for those who seek just that. We visited the hotel for our honeymoon between 28 of December and 4 of January. We avoided the raining season but do expect some heavy rain that usually lasts between 10-30 minutes. Don't forget that these are the tropics. We choose a private pool villa and luckily we got one that had an ocean view. Since day one the staff was the best staff ever. Room was very clean and was maintained daily as well as towels.Tum (the staff manager I think) was always present for anything we requested, we owe him a praise. Staff added water and citronella in a candle evaporator so to drive away mosquitos that worked really well. The hotel is 10 minutes maximum by taxi from Chaweng beach which is a large tourist area where you can get any nightlife, any beach action or any restaurant you seek to spend the day. The hotel beach is not ideal for swimming because its a bit rocky but the infinity pool makes up for it. We booked half board and we never left the hotel. The restaurant food is very good and has a lot of options, breakfast as well. Prices are very decent and the barbecue days are the best. Our room did not get any Wifi signal at all which wasn't a problem for us since that kept us off our phones and might be a problem for some, but the reception at the restaurant was excellent and fast. There is a 7 Eleven within 5 minutes walk where someone can buy anything even cheaper. Buy a mosquito spray repellant from there, it is offered in the room but it is more expensive. Overall we had a dreamy honeymoon that we wouldn't change it for anything else. Thank you Sea Dance Resort. Room Tip: If you want WiFi then ask for room close to restaurant."

Bassac Cruises: "Fascinating and beautiful cruise"

This is such a great way to explore the Mekong Delta. The boat gives a comfortable experience as you sail by fabulous scenery , observing families and enjoying delicious food. Our guide , An, was a delight. She shared with us how people live in the Delta villages including first hand experiences and such interesting information. Visit to rice factory and floating market great!

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Contemplative lunch"

What a relief. This restaurant is a real "island" of tranquillity next to the lake. Soft music. Whispering waiters. Prompt service and a smile.

Tugu Malang: "Un hôtel musée"

"Le propriétaire présente sa collection d'objets d'art asiatique. Les objets sont disséminés dans l'hôtel. C'est magnifique. Le personnel est d'une très grande gentillesse. Au petits soins. Ne pas manquer le thé en fin d'après-midi accompagné d'une quantité de desserts merveilleux. Pour ceux qui arrivent en train, à 5 mn à pied de la gare."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "like paradise"

One of the most beautiful places on this planet. no cars, no streets ... no stress . Great for yoga. The Resort is not easy to reach but it`s worth the effort. The food at the clubhouse is delicious. I am coming for the fourth time now.

The River Resort: "Luxury retreat on the Mekong river."

Lovely peaceful resort style hotel. The location is right on the banks of the Mekong with most rooms looking directly across the river. The rooms are very spacious, clean and very well laid out. The restaurant caters to both western and local cuisines with lots of choices, all very good. The spa is good although our massages were not consistent. There are two nice pools to choose between. The staff were exceptional. The wifi was also good.

Cuca: "If Cuca was 10,000 miles closer to home I would eat there all the time"

Cuca is worth every one of its superlative ratings. Wonderful atmosphere, unique tapas style menu with great selections, a fine staff all at a good value. What more could a person ask for?

The Village House: "Amazing retreat!"

I stayed here with my boyfriend for two weeks, using it as a base for our day trips around the area. The hotel is gorgeous, very quiet and secluded. The staff were wonderful very thoughtful and very happy to help. Food was also fab, I would recommend doing the Taste of Borneo! xx

Samanea Beach Resort: "Best of the Rest"

"I had lived in Phnom Penh for a couple of years and visited Kep many times. It took a vacation trip a year later for me to run upon Samanea Beach. It's like a park when you first see it, spacious uncluttered and green, green, green. The Bungalows are the nicest I'd stayed in in years, huge and tastefully decorated. I meant to stay for three nights and was still there two weeks later. Low key, super pool, great food, excellent staff and above all, incredibly beautiful. Room Tip: Check out the wifi strength before you choose your Bungalow. It's generally good but some Bunga..."

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Surprising quality"

We took our staff for a company outing to this property over 3 nights. We are surprised with the quality of the villas, cabanas and pools and the amazing service that was provided. They are really lovely people and Bryan manages the place very well. We had no complaints and nothing went wrong,We purchased our foods and they cooked for us. Its a very quiet and peaceful location which is hard to find in Philippines. The only downsides are the long trip to get there which is about 3 hours and the lack of a beach to swim. On the plus side there are interesting activities around the place like kawasan falls and oslob whale watch, Ideal for people needing such a holiday or company affairs.
