Supanniga Eating Room: "Most delicious crab"
Loved it! Tried three types of crab, my favourite was definitely the one in red curry sauce. Super friendly staff and a few new dishes I haven't seen at other Thai restaurants. Went back once more since I was dreaming of the crab...haha.Supanniga Eating Room: "Consistantly good"
"We've hit Supanniga again last night. Every time (twice a year) we come to Bangkok we make sure to have dinner there and have always been rewarded for sticking to good old habits. Last night was no exception. We tried to innovate choosing dishes we'd never tried before and were pleased with every single taste. Service was as always attentive. Supanigga remains a good destination for whoever is looking for good thai food with a twist in a cozy yet animated environment"Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"
"This is Thailand's best kept secret. Charming and secluded and really really well run by Massi, the hotel manager. We were in heaven and are dreaming about our next visit. No tvs, no air conditioning, running water that smells a little due to minerals, but none of it matters when you are at the golden Buddha because you are drawn into a Robison Crusoe fantasy that you seldom find anywhere these days. Lots of nature and very little to do except enjoy the surroundings. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song made Ho Chi Minh City a magical stay"
"Villa Song is beautifully located on the Saigon River, with gorgeous views for 220 degrees. While away from the downtown, there is no problem with access: the boat shuttle is less than 15 minutes and a stunning architectural tour of HCMC, and taxis are inexpensive. The Villa Song is an oasis of calm with wonderful service that is attentive without being intrusive. Gracious, accommodating, impeccable. Room Tip: Rooms on second floor with a balcony are worth the extra price."4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Amazing!"
its quite a way to get there. but its worth to travel to this place: no words for this wonderful place on earth. keep it clean, keep it natural, keep your love to it! fantastic people! food is amazing.leopard safaries: "Absolute respect for nature, top notch service, and food to die for"
"We cannot recommend Leopard Safaris highly enough. We stayed at a range of accommodations while in Sri Lanka--from luxury eco-resorts to Airbnb--and Noel runs the most professional operation of them all, and leaves the high-end luxury resorts (e.g. Jetwing) in his dust. It felt like nothing was an issue, effort or burden for Noel and his team. All of his team are fantastic, but we worked with Saj the most and can’t speak highly enough of his welcoming and friendly nature, sense of humor, great enthusiasm and passion for what he does (i.e. revel in nature and wildlife!), and utmost professionalism. Seriously, Saj - will you be our friend?! ;o) (...)The campsite (accommodations, dining, lounge etc.) strike a great “glamping” balance - modern luxuries (e.g. porcelain toilet), but not excessively developed, so there is comfort without feeling like the area has been flattened for tourists (in fact, Noel replanted/reforested a lot of the area, having been cleared previously by farmers) - The traditional Sri Lankan food was the best bar none - we ate only traditional Sri Lankan food for our 3-week trip, from roadside to home-cooked meals to luxury dining, and not only were the meals at Leopard Safaris the best versions of what we’d eaten elsewhere, there were also a host of other traditional dishes we’d never seen (I’m converted to wood apples!) Thank you Noel, Saj, and everyone at Leopard Safari’s for a lifetime of memories and an all-too-brief stay. Please do keep to your values and good work, and hopefully we can come back soon!"Yandabo Home: "Don’t just go for 1night"
Great hotel and an imaginative way to help regenerate the 2 local villages. The rooms are built to a very high standard, with filtered water at the taps, wet rooms and some of the largest beds I've experienced. Great food for dinner and breakfast...right by the river...you'll love it!4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Quite simply, wow"
This experience was worth the long car journey and really made the holiday to Cambodia special. We arrived on the 1st October and from the moment we stepped onto the complimentary boat the relaxation began. The luxury of the tents astounded us, I especially wasn't expecting such a decent water pressure from the shower, to be able to lie in bed and just look out onto the river was unique. Another surprise was the variety of fresh food available, the daily changing set menu was wonderful. We did both the fire fly and waterfall excursions, should the weather have been better we would have jumped at the sunset trip too, the waterfall was brilliant fun and exhilarating. However what really made the trip for me was the people and their stories. The activities coordinator had such interesting stories to tell, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to his island, on the way back from the waterfall, where we met the locals and shared some fresh coconut. Seeing first hand how they live and discussing their hopes for their country was extremely thought provoking. Our last evening will be one I will never forget, from further discussions with staff about their views on the development of Cambodia, to our beautiful dinner over looking the water, I was already missing the resort when the staff all came out to play their guitars and sing for us, it was simply a fantastic experience, one I have not stopped raving about since returning. If you want to experience the hidden side of Cambodia or simply want to get away from it all for a while you really must stay here. Thank you all for making my holiday an unforgettable experience I truly do miss each of you4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A Little Piece of Heaven"
My husband and I just spent 3 nights at 4 Rivers Floating Lodge. I wish we could have stayed another several days. The lodge is on a warm river which is delightful for swimming. The tent rooms are spacious, each with it's own private bath, complete with double sinks. The beds are comfortable. It is very quiet and the sunsets and night skies are awesome to see. Anna, the manager/owner is a wonderfully warm person, she learned our names immediately and checked in on us often to see if we needed anything. There are a number of day trips that one can do, we did the "Lost in the Mangroves" and the "Fireflies" excursions. We thoroughly enjoyed both. The staff are very friendly and do a great job. This is "glamping" at it's best! We especially appreciated the fact that the Lodge is doing a ton to support the local community (employment, sustainable tourism, educating the youth about the importance of nature, helping to build a new school building, recycling plastics and numerous other projects). We'd go back in a heartbeat! Thank you 4 Rivers Floating Lodge for a wonderful time...Satri House: "The ONLY place to stay in Luang Prabang"
Well best kept secrets are probably best kept as otherwise next time you go the place is full! BUT I cannot let my recent stay go un-reviewed, the team at Satri deserve praise. Thank-you to Gianni, Keo and the team for a perfect stay and a wonderfully managed event. We had 40people with us, most staying at Satri but all attending dinner on the last night of our stay and despite the potential hassles from indecisive weather Gianni put together a magical evening, with impeccable service from his team. The hotel is truly a beautiful house, a once royal residence it oozes class, elegance and a sense of history. Travel for me must provide a sense of place and Satri provides it in spades, from the delightful Madame Mem (a lovely local lady who shares her stories of Luang Prabang) to the décor, location and kind attention from the staff sharing their local secrets on what to see, do and where to dine...I felt like I was sharing a home rather than staying in a hotel. The epitome of boutique hotel experience, book now before it becomes unbookable!!!
