Reverie Siam: "Far from the pace of the world – beauty"
"72 hair pin curves north of Chiang Mainis this artsy village that had several natural sites nearby but has this comfortable artsy community tucked into the Thai Highlands. But this hotel, quite a wonderful place. Two beautiful pools, plenty of places to lounge, and food for breakfast that is high gourmet good. High cost per night compared to others but, great price compared to what others offer. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Wonderful eco-lodge"
"It was an awesome experience to stay in this lodge and wake up every day to jump from the bed to the river in the middle of the rainforest. The landscape is beautiful. And the installations of the hotel are perfectly adapted to it and takes care about the environment. To be able to be in bed and listen all the jungle sounds during the night is just amazing. Please, take a kayak or a surfboard and see the sunset. This lodge totally worth our 5 hours road trip....It has an amazing location, installations and lovely staff! We did all the tours with the hotel, and all the team and guides were really nice. We had a great time. We visited the falls, kayak some kms back, and even saw fireflies on the sunset cruise. Kayaks, surfboards, books, board games are always available. They prepared a vegetarian menu for me. The food was nice every single day. They fixed our transfers from PP and then to Sihanoukville with nice drivers and cars, and check on us all the time. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Sandat Glamping Tents: "Blissful retreat"
Sandat is a hidden retreat on the outskirts of Ubud. The design is something very special, tents and lumbungs nestled in hidden away paddy fields and forests. The attention to detail on design is exceptional and the service is superb. We had a few problems with air conditioning but all was forgiven with how much effort the team went to to resolving the issues and making us comfortable. Truly magical and a must visit.Villa Song Saigon: "Sanctuary by the Saigon River"
"This is an outstanding hotel. Beautifully refurbished former French colonial mansion with about 25 rooms. We stayed in a Sanctuary room on the top floor. High quality dining at tables beside the Saigon river. Rooms are beautifully decorated with every facility. Loved the TV that rotated 360. The hotel's own speedboat runs a shuttle service to the city centre. Staff excellent. Attention to detail (eg anti mossy spray on dining tables) My wife had a birthday while we were there. Bouquet of flowers and special cake unsolicited. "Villa Song Saigon: "Elegant hotel on the Saigon River"
"We stayed a couple of nights at this hotel and it is really special. Right on the Saigon River and in District 2 of Ho Chin Minh. The service was really good and the location is perfect. You can catch the hotel boat shuttle directly to the main district 1 if required. The area around the hotel is quiet and we found some really nice restaurants. This hotel is number one on trip advisor for a reason. "Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Wonderful food, setting & service"
Don't know why this is not No. 1 restaurant in Siem Reap. Have been 3 times in last 5 months and tried many other upmarket restaurants, this is by far the best. Flavours of Cambodian food explode in your mouth in a wonderful tasting presentation by the French chef. Other Cambodian restaurants try and some are very good but this is miles ahead of all others. Can't wait to go back.SUMMERTIME VILLA: "Nice Place"
"Ive been to Goa several times but I had the most Luxurious time while visiting Summertime. . . . . Spacious rooms & a pool to die for…"Misool Eco Resort: "Misool Eco Resort is unforgettable"
This is the third year I go to Misool Eco Resort and each year brings me so many surprises that makes me submit my bookings next year. You can not imagine that Three or four sharks will be hanging out in the waterfront of my cottage saying hello to me every day. And they are growing bigger and healthier each year. In the past two years I did snorkelling and it was not till this year I do diving. OMG wow what a wonderful and diverse sea life you can find here. Mantas, barracudas, nudi, Pygmy seahorse,all sorts of clownfishes, anemone shrimps, colourful soft corals that makes you thrilled and dizzy in every single dive. Thanks to my dive guide Agus who led me see those cutie species and their team Benny, Bram and James that adds so much fun in our dive. I also need to thank Sabine for her Wonderful choices of dive destinations and her attentiveness to details. My gratitude also to Banne who gives such nice massages to me and my husband.And last of all for Mark and Sue for the great sunset beach tour and helping me out for my rescheduling of my booking. This is a dream and loving place looking forward to see you all again.Villa Song Saigon: "Personal service"
"This hotel has a small number of rooms compared to big hotels in District 1, so you get personal service. And they do a great job of that. Great spot by the river. Close to the expat area with great restaurants. Stayed March 2017, traveled on business"Villa Mathis: "Contents"
Excellent Hosts (Frederick and Vivi are engaging, friendly, volunteers and make it very personal stay) - Very nice hotel: modern and local - good food: French chef with original local specialties - Good atmosphere! Thank you :)
