Villa Song Saigon: "Beatiful oasis just outside the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City"
This hotel is truly a little gem! We were glad to be close to the city when we chose to go in, but so glad to be able to come back to the peaceful and beautiful grounds of the Villa Song. From the time we checked in until we left, the staff was attentive, professional and very friendly. Excellent customer service! The room/bathroom was spacious, well decorated, spotless and had all the modern amenities. We ate several meals there and in each instance they were very good and the kitchen went out of their way in the presentation of the food. The menu was diverse and wine list comprehensive. A special shout out to Kevin who went out of his way to accommodate our special menu requests plus genuinely take an interest in the guests. This hotel truly deserves an excellent rating in all areas of operation!Rahai’i Pangun: "3D/2N River cruise"
"My wife and I took a 3D/2N river cruise with Wow Borneo in February 2017. The boat was clean and comfortable. We had the superior cabin, which included a double bed and private bathroom. All the guest cabins were air conditioned. 3 meals a day were served on the main deck. The chef aboard was excellent! We certainly never went away hungry. The crew and guide were excellent. Our guide spoke excellent English, which was a major help since we speak very little Bahasa Indonesia. She was also very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and also the local culture. She had a really sharp eye for spotting animals on the shore as we passed. Of course the main attraction was the chance to see Orangutans. We were not disappointed. We say them every day of the cruise, and at one point saw 6 in one location. There were also numerous monkeys and birds. This was the best tour we have been on in our year in Indonesia. I highly recommend it."Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song, an oasis of calm in Saigon"
Beautiful hotel, luxurious rooms and facilities. All the staff are so friendly and take care to ensure your stay is perfect. To sit by the river for breakfast is magical; didn't want to leave. Everything they do, they do so, so well. Although a short stay, so memorable, wish I was still there Location rated as excellent, a bonus not to be right in the city centre. The hotel speed boat service to the city centre is fantastic. Taxis cheap and plentiful if it's not available.Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Lost in Paradise"
This is not a hotel but Paradise. So beautiful with a nice garden. Room is very very big with simple decoration but very convenient. We love the scenery around the hotel, it is wonderful. Sitting at the middle of the nature, reading a good book and drinking a cocktail. It was the most relaxing moment in my lifeLabyrinth: "An eye opener"
The food you see is not what you get. The food come with a twist and it is indeed gastronomic adventure for you. I love how the plating is done for each and every dish, and how Labyrinth new Singapore local cuisine into a whole new level. Service staffs were friendly and helpful, the kitchen staffs prepare the food and I love how the food mix together to create a new taste. They definitely deserve the Michelin star!Sea Dance Resort: "Friendly paradise"
"We' ve been there for couple days. Bungalow, breakfast, pool, beach and staff-everything was perfect. We never had such a familiar feeling with the staff. They were so friendly and interested in our belongings. Exceptional was Dani from the front desk. Thank you seadance for the perfect time! Christian and Maike"Mathis Retreat: "Heaven in the rice fields"
"Back for a third time to this beautiful place. Quiet and serene, being 4km out from the city centre isn't too much of a challenge when you have a shuttle car going every hour. If you're feeling energetic you can walk! Kind Karine, the manager told us of alternative walking routes to get to Ubud from the hotel to take in more sights and get off the main road which I'll be sure to try on my next visit. The amazing quality breakfasts haven't changed, nor has the sense of peaceful village flow. A highlight was a visit from the gorgeous friendly neighbouring cat! Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"tugu bali: "The Secret Retreat!"
"This is our 2nd stay at Tugu. We enjoyed it so much we couldn't resist another stay. Although it is a little more expensive the Tugu ""offer"" is unique. You can lie in your own private space overlooking the sea without being annoyed by hawkers and just watch the surfers, or lie by the pool in privacy. The perfect getaway. We were fortunate enough to experience the cultural evening which presented us with 3 dances - so amazing and professional - a totally memorable experience. We used the hotel driver to take us to Seminyak on a couple of occasions - he was polite, courteous and perfect in every way. Thank you Tugu - your staff our amazing...well done Jenny. Good luck with the Living Wall construction, we look forward to seeing it in the future."The River Resort: "Spectacular"
This is one of the loveliest places I've ever stayed. The rooms are beautifully designed, the setting is stunning, the staff are both very friendly and highly professional, and we had a really lovely stay. Highly recommended.THE SAMAR: "Ideal spot for exploring!"
"We stayed here for 5 days two days longer than planned but it was so nice here we stayed a couple of days longer. The room was class, very clean and of high quality good shower. Price wise we got a good deal, you can get cheaper and hunt all day long for the best price but we were very happy in that respect. We ate out a lot, breakfast was good just what we needed, good evening meals too, good local food which is what we are here for! Tuk tuks were easily available and the drivers were a right old laff, took us to all the best places to visit, nothing like a local to show you around the temples better than a guide book! All in all we had a fab time and would highly recommend Samar Villa to anyone, can't wait to come back!"
