Villa Song Saigon: "Magic amongst the Mayhem"

Review by: Rohese77 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Villa Song is on the river away from the manic mayhem of Saigon, we loved it. I would not liked to have stay in Saigon itself, its very noisy, dirty and smelly at Villa Song we had the best of both worlds. A boat takes guest back and forth to the city so its easy to get to any of the sights fairly easily. It suitated in an area that has a number of International Schools and there are some reasonalbe resturants and and shop. We chose to eat at the hotel as we were only there for three nights and it was a joy to sit by the river and watch life go by. The food was delicious and resonably priced for good quality fare. Our room had a small balcony and was very comfortable. Breakfast was delcious and plentiful. An excellent stay."

Mathis Retreat: "Everything An Ubud Hotel Is In Your Dreams"

Review by: thetravelbuddha | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is the hotel you imagine when you think of staying in Ubud. The view across working rice paddies is amazing as our the rooms, quiet amazing. The infinity pool across the rice paddies, the bean bags by the rice paddies and the general setting are all amazing. Staff are friendly and efficient. The hotel is too far out of town to walk (unless you want a long walk) but a van is run by the hotel every hour and they even made a special journey just for us. The breakfast is amazing, as little or as much as you want from the breakfast selection menu and whatever you have is great. Stay here, you wont regret it."

Review by: drmcas2015 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Forget the flashy neon lights and loud music from the many river cruise options available , Supanniga does it in style Lovely atmosphere, fantastic food and great service. My husband and I prebooked this cruise and I'm happy we did as it was great value for money. The views are wonderful and the pace the boat travels at is ideal for photos would highly recommend"

The River Resort: "Paradise at the Mekong Riverside!"

Review by: christiechoo | Source: Trip Advisor
This resort located nearby to Mekong River. We took a long tailed boat and go to this resort via river, instead of main road. This is a PARADISE, away from busy city and noise. The rooms are great, with nice interior design, overseen the river. The hotel offers 2 options of breakfast per person per day. It is a very relaxing experience to stay here, with surrounded by paddy field in the hotel garden.

Sea Dance Resort: "Terrific – Like joining a community!"

Review by: Stefan W | Source: Trip Advisor
We are a family of four and stayed in a two-bedroom pool villa over New Year's 2017-18 for four nights. There were several other families there as well. The owners and staff made us feel very welcome, and the food and facilities were top notch. The best part was the new year's party, which made everyone feel like we'd been invited to someone's house to celebrate - really a fun time, we recommend the Seadance to everyone.

The Island Lodge: "Fabulous quiet paradise"

Review by: Julie G | Source: Trip Advisor
"We absolutely loved this hotel. It is a quiet luxurious break from the hustle and bustle of other Vietnam locations. We spent three nights there and didn't want to leave. It is a small boutique hotel, which provides fabulous service by friendly and professional staff. As it is rainy season, the hotel was very quiet and the staff outnumbered the guests by far. The facilities are fabulous. The gardens, pool area, bar and restaurant are lovely. The food is delicious and breakfast as much as you can eat. The spa is very nice and I spent a couple of hours being pampered. The owners, Michel and Francoise, greeted us on arrival and made a point of saying goodbye when we left, all adding to the feeling of personalised service and luxury. This hotel is a bit more expensive than others we have stayed in in Vietnam, but very reasonable compared to European prices. It is worth every penny. It was a small parcel of peacefulness in an otherwise hectic schedule. I'll definitely be back if I'm back in Vietnam."

Maduzi Hotel: "Our Bangkok oasis"

Review by: EbonyStar73 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We have stayed here numerous times and we'll keep coming back for more. The location is second to none, perfectly located right near the ever so efficient BTS, ASOK station, yet you feel as though you're In your own little oasis once you walk through the gates. (Do yourself a favour and buy a 'Rabbit Card' so you can jump on and off the transport system with ease and enjoy all that this vibrant city has to offer). The staff are always happy to assist with anything you require (btw, they won't accept any tips, it's their policy - no matter how hard you try.) The rooms are spacious, clean and beautifully appointed. The mini bar is included in the price of the room too, another quirky yet welcome Maduzi offering. Breakfasts are delicious! We almost always get the Japanese set breakfast. You can enjoy this in their fabulous restaurant where you'll also have a buffet to pick from, all inclusive. Or, you can order it to your room and they'll put together a buffet selection for you. Yes, this is a small boutique hotel with only 40 rooms and 7 levels, no pool or laundry (you can get the hotel to organise your washing for you) but the beautiful ambiance all around, central location and friendly staff make up for the lack of amenities. We'd choose this place over any of the big guys any day!"

Rachamankha: "A Quiet Oasis in a Bustling Town"

Review by: RayWilts | Source: Trip Advisor
This was a quiet oasis in a bustling town but still well positioned to see everything Chiang Mai has to offer. We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel and our room and bathroom was spotless and the bed very comfortable. We enjoyed excellent service from a very friendly and polite staff. The breakfast buffet is very good and they make a neat gin and tonic in the bar. The hotel laundry service was very efficient and cheap compared to hotels elsewhere in the world. If we visited Chiang Mai again we would definitely stay here again

Sea Dance Resort: "Relaxation at its best!"

Review by: JRG R | Source: Trip Advisor
"I stayed at Sea Dance with my family at the beginning of October for 7 nights. What an amazing place! From airport transfer right through to the facilities - absolutely fantastic. Sea Dance is close enough to the center of Chaweng for those who need nightlife entertainment, but far enough away for those who just want to spend their days lazing around the pool with a fine glass of wine while listening to the waves crash ashore. Botique personal service. Almost ever staff member knew us on a first name basis. Even the owner who is actively involved with this beautiful resort. Free use of kayaks and life jackets. Weekly buffets and cocktail events. There is just so much to do at the resort without having to leave! We were fortunate enough to stay in a pool villa. Large rooms with a small plunge pool to cool off on those hot days. This is a place we will miss, but surely not forget! See you all again soon!"
