Samanea Beach Resort: "Outstanding hotel!"

Review by: Sumobabe | Source: Trip Advisor
"his was our second stay in 2015 at the Samanea Beach Resort. And once again we were not dissapointed. This stay was for six days in December 2015, and what a time we had!! The Samanea is by far the best choice in Kep, also compared to the fancy more downtown place. Here at Samanea Beach you get our own individual house in a lush tropical garden. Our house was again VERY comfortable. Huge king bed, sofa arrangement, dresser, wardrobe and in general very spacious living. All amenities from a 4-5 star hotel. The bath room is almost the best part. It's situated en suite but outdoors in your own totally private yard. Very nice, romantic and comfortable. Restaurant, pool area, private beach, private pier - hey just look at the pictures. It's just a WONDERFUL place. The staff is great. Especially the guys working in the restaurant are just fantastic! Only hickup: the wifi could be better!"

Rachamankha: "Sublime sanctuary in the old city"

Review by: Debra L | Source: Trip Advisor
"Our stay at Rachamankha was everything we'd hoped. As you approach it through the narrow lanes and busy traffic it's hard to believe that such a tranquil spot can exist in the middle of the old city. From the moment you drive in, it's like coming home. No big swanky reception and lobby area, just a discreet desk and a warm welcome when you check in. The whole complex takes some exploring - I'd recommend asking them to show you all the facilities when you arrive (we were still finding our way around by the end of our stay). Rooms are lovely and private - the bathrooms are probably not up to such a high standard (shower is quite small by comparison) but not a deal breaker. The pool area, restaurant and bar are pretty close to perfect. Breakfast has so many choices it's a bit bamboozling some days. We could have quite easily stayed within Ranchmankha and not explored Chiang Mai at all - just lazing around the pool was idyllic. Thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay - you won't regret it!"

Sukoon Houseboat: "Wonderful place but not now"

Review by: margaretpearson | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is an idealic place. Wonderful location beautiful scenery, and we were truly spoilt. Sadly you should not visit there for the foreseeable future, because of all the rioting of the local people. You can't go out, no shops open, people off the streets curfews, Internet constantly down and teeming with army and guns. The Sukoon was truly a haven in a very troubled times. Shangloo travel agency should never have brought us to Srinagar, knowing we couldn't do any of his promised tours. This was a very dangerous act."

Tugu Malang: "The best hotel in the world + Unique Indonesian Vibe"

Review by: erikabufv | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have been in countless hotels of all styles. Tugu made it to the top of my preferred stays list impressing me not for a day or two, but for 20 days of the perfect treatment and incredible structure. They have a touch of kindness and detail everyday! Little fresh flowers in your room. Complimentary local fruits. Impeccable cleanliness. Gorgeous traditional decoration. Little message every night. You have a spa, with different types of treatment available. A temple, business convention center, 24 h international and local restaurant/ bar with more than 150 wines, bakery, event center, swimming pool, boutique, antiques shop, all surrounded by a collection of the finest Dutch and Indonesian artifacts. 49 rooms served by 100 happy smiley team. You will feel like a king. And they all speak good English! Go if: you like to stay in a place that you can feel like home. With kind helpful people. And different options for relaxation and meals. In a very traditional unique atmosphere. Don't go if: you are a lean freak and prefer to stay in an international chain with no personal treatment. Attention: you can ask for a tour in the hotel. For free! Visiting (and maybe staying) in the presidential suit is pure entertainment. Congratulations to all staff, but special thanks to Rachel, Richard, Ratna, Daniel, John, Aris, Wahyu, Handy and all the girls from the front desk. Never change!"

Supanniga Eating Room: "Our favourite Thai restaurant in Bangkok . Really tasty..great décor"

Review by: Barbara H | Source: Trip Advisor
"At the Supanniga Eating room we experience the flavours of Thailand..real provincial Thai food from the different regions..especially the eastern regions. The decor is exciting..and very cutting edge..exposed brick..huge smoky glass mirror..and it signature colours of shades of yellow...Exciting wall mural of cotton reels with yellows..i would have added a few more tropical plants.. Service is efficient, friendly and brisk..we did not have to wait long for these freshly prepared dishes..with friends one can order a range of food..my favourites this time..and I have been serval times..a salad of lemon grass and shrimps, omelette..and this amazing fish soufflé with a banana leaf wrapping ...Comfortable hip place with great tasty food..prices for the quality..reasonable..always full so booking is essential. A little touch..i loved the hand soap in the ladies and have been looking for it for sale in Bangkok."

Hotel Tugu Bali: "Highly commend"

Review by: MargaretTMS | Source: Trip Advisor
"So impressed with our stay in Tugu Bali. The villa was a delight to be staying in with all its Balinese history in its decor and surroundings. First class in interior layout and cleaning services. The staff were friendly and so attentive including to the demands of an exploring toddler. Our meals were delicious and choices seemed unlimited. Japanese restaurant menu def worth exploring. The Gardens and waterways were a delight to wander around. Would highly recommend for a relaxing stay, where the mixture of calming ambience and historical treasures added to such an enjoyable atmosphere. Only minutes walk from beaches. Many thanks for memorable stay that is highly recommended to all ages."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Unforgettable Paradise!!!!"

Review by: Ryan P | Source: tripadvisor.com
"What a magical place this is, after 5 hour drive from Phnom Penh and 30 minutes boat ride we arrived to 4 rivers and was welcome by Luiz with welcome drinks and fresh cold towels after a long journey who explained that we were the only ones there for the night. Just my luck as I wanted to propose to my girlfriend. Anna at 4 rivers had suggested all ideas for the perfect proposal plan. On the night we arrived we went to see the fireflies, once we headed back to the tents there was candles and red carpet into the tent and there was the perfect setting for my proposal.(...) Everything exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived to the day we left, the staff are always smiling, very friendly and goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The entire setting is a paradise floating on a river with well-equipped tent and great views of the river. We only had 2 nights here on this amazing place but it was the best 2 nights ever which we’ll never forget."
