Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic"

Review by: Debbie T | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at Villa Song Saigon for the final 3 nights of a 21 day tour it was the perfect place to finish a very busy holiday. The room although quite small had a very large patio which we used to read and listen to music. The beds a pillows were so so comfortable and the shower had great pressure. The breakfast was Al a Carte with a good selection of Asian and European. The evening meals were good but not great and quite expensive but in saying that we ate there two out of the three nights! We sat and had our meals by the river what a pleasant way to eat. The staff were friendly attentive and helpful and the level of cleanliness 100% Although the hotel was in district two a water taxi was provided free of charge to drop us off and bring us back from the city. There are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance from hotel"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Relaxing paradise"

Review by: LorenM4703 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is truly serene! Located on a secluded portion of a river. Very quiet. Beautiful! Definite great romantic place. Great front porch views direct in front of your room. Swim in relatively clear water right off your front porch. See fireflies in the evenings and dragon flies and birds during the day. Offers excursions but we instead chose to stay put on our front porch relaxing and river swimming. The food was reasonable but not great. But the place is so nice, refreshing and relaxing it can be considered as a place you should visit at least once in a lifetime. Nature at its best"

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"

Review by: karinagillibrand | Source: Trip Advisor
"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"

arumdalu: "a hidden gem filled with surprises!"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: tripadvisor.com
We never expect to find such a refine place at the very southern tip of Belitung island. A very creative and delicate cuisine, sustainable practices to save energy or natural fogging, an attentive service, large villa with private pool, 800m of white sand beach and beautiful landscape. Only recommend to people who appreciate quiet beauty!!!

Tugu Lombok: "Short break. Very relaxing"

Review by: Miguel_Lec | Source: Trip Advisor
We went with my wife for a long weekend (4 days) and it was just perfect. Starting from the booking experience, it was done both very professionally and with a lot of kindness. All required information properly provided. Then you get to the place and it is just very nice and everyone is ready to help for you to have a nice moment. Well done Tugu Hotel, hope to come back anytime soon.

Tugu Malang: "Excellent service!!!"

Review by: Jens L | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Tugu hotel is a hotel, but at the same time it's also a museum. We stayed here for 2 nights and we had an amazing experience. Because of the low season we could choose our room. The staff was incredible. No question was ever too much to answer and everything was arranged with a smile. Every staff member knew our name and the small talks during breakfast and dinner gave our stay a personal touch. When you stay at the hotel you get a free tour of the hotel/museum and a good explanation of all the artifacts. For us this was a nice bonus, because it helps you understanding some of the history of Java. There are spa facilities and we've booked the 4 hour couples retreat. It was very relaxing: massage, bath with fresh rose petals, scrubbing, manicure, pedicure, washing en drying our hair, tea,... and after all that (really took 4 hours) there was a 4 course dinner, again with some personal touches (all included in the price). What can I say about the food? One word: super! There are so many things to choose from for breakfast and dinner. Local food, street food, western food, chinese food,... Last but not least is the Tea Time Experience in the afternoon. Every day between 16pm and 17pm (or 18pm) you can enjoy a nice cup of tea with fresh made Indonesian snacks. If you stay at the hotel you should certainly try it once. Kept all things in mind this hotel is one of our top 3 of all the hotels we've been in the world! I certainly hope to visit this hotel in the future during one of our next journeys. Thanks to the staff for making this a very pleasant stay. Joni & Jens (J&J)"

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A beautiful place run by beautiful people"

Review by: Stevehil2016 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Seadance Resort manages that very special skill of enhancing a naturally beautiful area with its presence. The layout of the resort takes full advantage of the tropical greenery both inside and outside the buildings and whilst the grounds are well tended it is not manicured and artificial but a natural infinity and flow that brings you down to the ocean's edge. When you meet Poy who established Sea Dance it all makes sense. His pride and thoughtfulness shine through and new staff like Faith all add something to this very special place. We stayed for 7 days and our normal style is to explore the area and discover places to eat. The fact we only ate out once is testament to the great food and we ate from the Thai menu exclusively. The breakfasts were great, the coffee good all overlooking the ocean. A dream of a place and a big thank you to all the staff. Stayed February 2017"
