Decided to come to Pai for a few days and found Reverie through the normal booking agents. Absolutely fantastic. Lovely rooms , gardens, two swimming pools, and great bar! Staff were excellent. Got to say one of my favorite hotels.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Beautiful secret"

Review by: Monica P | Source: Trip Advisor
We absolutely loved this place it's so beautiful relaxing boutique villas with magical gardens in the middle of a busy area of Bangkok. Once inside the grounds it's so quiet and private and just wonderful. Staff are very helpful and the manager Mr Omh is a great wealth of knowledge. Breakfast was yummy and a great start for the day. Our room so comfortable and spacious and the pool we used often a perfect relaxing finish. Close to Wat Pho, Grand Palace, flower market and great street food and restaurants. Visit LarbLoi local restaurant above Starbucks at river boat terminal near flower market. Really yummy.

Villa Song Saigon: "best of both"

Review by: Irishman_abr0ad | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 3 nights at villa song to round off our tour of Vietnam. The hotel is about 30 minutes by taxi or 20 minutes by the hotel's motorboat to downtown Saigon. For us it was the perfect compromise; avoid the stiffling heat during the day and relax by the pool and in the evening take the motorboat downtown to enjoy the best of the city. Hotel itself is all high ceilings; neutral tones and lots of nicely chosen art and books; very peaceful. Breakfast and dinner are served in the gardens overlooking the river or the adjoining dining room; breakfast is ala carte and is available all day which is a nice touch if you are only interested in relaxing. Lovely large pool which was never crowded; a small gym for those who should know better and an in-house spa; which we didn't use but seemed good value. We had a river-view room which was very spacious; walk in shower and also a bath. King size bed with a mattress to die for. Staff as seems to be the norm in Vietnam were unfailing helpful and polite. Cant think of any reason not to stay here the next time we return to Vietnam. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Locavore: "European Cuisines using Indonesian Ingredients"

Review by: non_non8668 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I was so glad to be able to secure a table this time in only 4 weeks notice. My friends & I were really impressed with Locavore because it always tries to use fresh local produce from Bali and other parts of Indonesia.The menu is very ingredients driven, meaning that it is always updated according to what's available fresh in the market. Service was attentive but perhaps waitresses need more training in story telling skills about origins of ingredients, in what conditions they grow or how special the food was prepared. Those things adds up to the overal dining experience. Locavore offers lunch & dinner tasting menu of 5 or 7 courses with a choice of vegetarian (herbivore) or non-vegetarian (locavore). Although they come in really small portion, you will end up full with line up of snacks, amuse Bouche and pre/post-desserts. Definitely worth visiting. Reservation is compulsory to avoid disappointment."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Wonderful stay!"

Review by: jo c | Source: Trip Advisor
We loved this place! It was gorgeous and calm, and the managers are extremely friendly and professional. We enjoyed falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the river right outside our door, and loved the excellent location right next to the grand palace and wat Arun. I'd love to come back at some point in the future. Highly recommend!

Tugu Bali: "One of the best hotels I stayed in"

Review by: sarah d | Source: Trip Advisor
This is by far one fo the best hotel I've stayed in. The room we had was comfortable and super spacious. The staff is what makes this hotel, they are very attentive and discreet. The pool is great, the food is delicious, the location is wonderful, right next to the beach and the Old Man's restaurant/beach bar. The massages were good too. I would definitely stay there again.

Reverie Siam: "Absolutely"

Review by: Mark B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Go! Go here! You only need a night or two but my what a treat. Every tiny detail of this little haven has been lovingly crafted. The ambience exceeds even the level of the best Disney theme park. The place feels old and new at the same time and In the best ways. The food is a much needed and delicious alternative to the common Thai dishes you find just about everywhere else. Each room is unique and spacious. You should explore the entire space, especially the hidden tea room that overlooks the river. Even if you have to go outside your budget, as we did, this place is a dream worth having. Stayed January 2017"

Tugu Bali: "Excellent food. Authentic Indonesia Experience. Great Service. Dirty Beaches"

Review by: Mauricio T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Tugu Group has a range of hotels and restaurants in various locations of Indonesia. I am personally a big fan of the owner for his passion for Indonesia arts and culture and you can truly enjoy an amazing experience at any of his properties. The food - both Indonesian and the newly open Japanese - was divine. The daily breakfast is also perfect with a wide range of options freshly made. We also enjoyed an amazing Spa experience -- with the sound of the waves and fresh air. The only problem is the beach -- it is dirty, I repeat very dirty, with trash everywhere. It offers good sunset views though. If you want to experience the best of Indonesia and not looking to spend time at the beach, then You are up to a great experience here. Would return for the great food and Spa, plus lovely service from Jenny, Maria and her team."
