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."

Sunset in Bangkok seen from the cabin of Supanniga Cruise. Glass of Champagne, great nibbles and excellent company. Unexpected and somewhat unique. An experience to be recommended.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Birthday Vacation"

Review by: Kiela M | Source: Trip Advisor
"My boyfriend & I traveled to Bali for my 25th birthday for 10 days! We stayed in multiple locations all over Bali, but for my actual birthday I wanted to make sure I stayed in Ubud. We chose to stay at Sandat, for two nights! From the moment we got there they immediately made us feel welcomed! We stayed in the Ylang Ylang Luxury Suite Tent, and it was more than perfect. When we walked into the Villa, they had spelled out ""Happy Birthday"" in flowers on the bed! On top of that every single person there knew it was my birthday so whenever I walked by someone new, they all stoped to tell me happy birthday! The room was incredible, and the pool was very refreshing! At Sandat, you truly feel like you're one with nature, it's amazing. We ate in the common area as much as we could, because the food was DELICIOUS, and the staff so friendly. Each morning/night they would set the tables with different and beautiful tables linens! They are very ""eco-friendly"" and I enjoyed every minute of being there. The location is perfect - just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the streets of ubud, and the shuttle service they provide is excellent! On our last morning we enjoyed hot stone massages by our pool - perfect way to end our stay! The ONLY THING I would say needs some improvement, are the beds... they are tolerable, but a memory foam mattress topper would definitely make it more comfortable! I would like to give a special thank you to Ms. Putu, who helped with our reservations and was so accommodating! As well as a big thank you to Tengo - he was a pleasure to speak with! Everyone there is so great! You will not regret booking with Sandat. When we come back to Bali, we will for sure be staying at Sandat; it's very magical. - Kiela"

"Beautiful hideaway in the middle of the Mekong Delta. Room, food, staff and pool amazing; we loved our stay. A special thank-you to the wonderful gardener who jumped fully clothed into the Mekong to rescue my bifocal glasses when they accidentally dropped into river ! Thanks Amanda & Martin x"

Mathis Retreat: "Great get away"

Review by: Shin I | Source: Trip Advisor
"If you're a couple looking for a quite & complete getaway from the loud to be lazy, then this is the place! Nice cozy rooms and the balcony will certainly make you feel relaxed. Having your breakfast with a panoramic view of the rice fields definitely adds value to your stay. There aren't much happening around & location may appear remote from Ubud centre, yet the shuttle service may solve your concerns. If you need ideas Karine will help you with attractions and tours, was a great idea consulting with her for our stay!"

Review by: Philayvanh V | Source: Trip Advisor
The food at Manda de Laos was super great and amazing, nice ambiance with friendly service by lovely staffs at the restaurant. I think the price is suitable on what you get. If I have chance to visit Luang Prabang, I definitely go back to this place. Lastly, I love banana ice cream :)

Pindaya Farm House: "Lovely place"

Review by: Trine D | Source: Trip Advisor
My husband and I stayed two nights at this wonderful and cosy place at the country side in central Myanmar. The service and accomodation was excellent and the food very delicious and well prepared. We can highly recommend this lovely place if you are looking for peace and quietness in a nice setting and possibilities to do hiking and biking in the surrounding hilly landscape.

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Happy memories for life"

Review by: Gemma M | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Warmest of welcomes to the campsite from Dhanu and the crew Superb accomodation combining outdoors and luxury The best food we ate (and we had a lot to compare to!) in fantastic setting outdoors with just the right amount of background to the ingredients. We were also made to feel very special as it was our honeymoon And of course, what we came for was the safari and it far exceeded expectations. Not only were we lucky enough to see a leopard, but we were given so much time and care to ensure we got the big picture and could enjoy the breathtaking wildlife and scenery We will be talking about this short trip for days!! Thank you "
