Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Delightful Period Throw Back"
We wandered down Soi 45 looking for a restaurant that a friend had recommended to us and stumbled on this little gem. We came back and booked a night. The interior design for Cabochon is a throw back to colonial past and it has a delightful old style and authentic ambiance. We loved the service and the traditional Thai/Lao food in the restaurant (the original reason we found Cabochon) was fantastic and we weren't disappointed. Cabochon is a small independent boutique hotel and it basically gets pretty much everything right.Chakrabongse Villas: "Great ambience…amazing place..magic gardens"
"We were invited to a private function at this amazing place on the river...you could see Wat Aron opposite...we are familiar with the area..but the view on the terrace..at 7 pm..sipping champagne..was as close to heaven I was going to experience..the stars, and sights of the is beautiful city of Bangkok. This must be the absolute wedding venue..the gardens, the flowers , the trees made it heavenly.. We had wonderful food...indoors and outdoors...the crab curry was so delicious I had three helpings...my husband said that I should have had also the chicken...the deserts were so good...and normally I am not a desert person..it was a delight Dinner setting..it felt as if for royality..."4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Peace"
"The whole thing is very well done and works. I must say that we spent 4 nights and it was very relaxing. In bed by 9.30pm and up at rhe crack of 8.30am, well I do like to relax. The food was simple and very tasty and well prepared, also more of any item if required. The waterfall boat trip was wonderful, the crew kept apologizing for the lack of water, but the falls were running and it was just right for swimming. My only complaint is that the swimming steps from the river are just round bars and these are painful on the feet when getting out. A great place for a few days to recharge you battery and sole. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"Samanea Beach Resort & Spa: "Excellent stay, highly recommended, amazing staff!"
Highly recommended resort, rooms very comfy and spacious, outdoor shower, nice pool. The staff is amazing, always ready to help and bring drinks/fruit. Restaurant excellent, very tasty food! Very peaceful and quiet.David’s Kitchen: "Just wow"
"We found David's Kitchen on TripAdvisor and decided to go there for my birthday dinner. It was just as spectacular as everyone described. The service was amazing. We came in to our name on our table and the wait staff all greeted us by name. The dishes were never on our table for longer then about 2 minutes and our drinks were always topped up. The food just melted in my mouth. It can't be described, you just need to try it for yourself. It is expensive of course but well worth it. This is somewhere that I normally wouldn't be able to afford but thought we'd splash out for my birthday and I am very very satisfied."Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Fabulous visit and incredible views"
Spent 3 glorious nights at Tiger Mountain Pokhara. It is an amazing place and worth the additional expense. The views to the Annapurna range are simply magnificent and waking up to a sunrise over the mountains is very special. The rooms/cabins are very luxurious and perfectly outfitted . The food is wonderful and always the option to have spicier Nepalese or tamer continental fare. The staff couldn’t be more helpful or accommodating whether it was to arrange specialty birding walks or medicine for a stomach ailment. After the hectic world of Kathmandu this place was more than a breath of fresh air. I would encourage you to make time to spend a few days at Tiger Mountain Pokhara!Amata Lanna: "Boutique Oasis"
"A small boutique hotel to the north of Chiang Mai near to the river Ping, a local temple and a short walk from the night bizarre. Consisting of only 12 rooms it is a refreshing retreat from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai. It also has its own small pool and wifi. The building is traditional in style with large rooms with four poster beds and big chunky wooden doors. This all just adds to the charm of the place. The rooms come with shower and jacuzzi bath which was a real bonus!! The staff are extremely helpful and make you feel very welcome. Breakfast is very good with a choice of freshly cooked hot food or cold fresh fruit. Overall Amata Lanna exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend staying here if you're in Chiang Mai!!"Reverie Siam: "Excellent"
We came here for 3 nights and stayed in the family suite. Beautiful room very clean and well vintage designed. Breakfast is the best a la carte. The staff is very friendly and most of them speak english. All in all, had a great time here and hope to come here again.Satri House: "Beautiful, atmospheric gem"
"Love it. Love the library and cognac, love the decor, the food, the beds, the rooms, the cute spa, did I mention the decor (?) and the staff. It feels like you're visiting a (royal) friend and pottering around his (grand) house and just popping out to sample the languid charms of luang prabang when the mood strikes. I would come back just for the weekend for a rest and wander. Beautiful"VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Absolutely charming hotel"
"A haven at the edge of the Saigon River. A beautiful, peaceful spot to chill out after a hot session of sightseeing. Chef Kevin, always eager to please with innovative Western based menus liberally sprinkled with South East Asian herbs and spices, great. Restaurant and hotel staff greeting us with their gentleness and smiling faces all the time. I can only highly recommend Villa Song "
