Villa Song Saigon: "Great Boutique Hotel in Saigon"

Review by: Bil1965 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed here last week for one nigh on way home and we will absolutely be back. It was great relaxing change compared the the larger hotels as you'd expect from a boutique property. We arrived, checking in and heading for the bar overlooking the river. Service is great and staff very friendly. We booked a table in the restaurant and decided to stay there the evening. The food was very, very good. The following morning we had a great breakfast sitting overlooking the river and my wife then headed to the spa for a very well priced treatment. I took the hotel bus into town. I great stay, but you pay the going rate for that extra privacy and environment. I would add though that the Hotel boat isn't running at the moment and won't be for some time are the local administration are doing extensive works at the landing site. I can now understand why they have a boat because getting into town takes a while dependant on traffic. Not the hotels fault, and what else can they do. I didn't go anywhere around the hotel but it seems it is in an area with lots of Schools and upmarket property. Seemed to be lost of nice eating places etc nearby."

Sukoon Houseboat: "Watch the world float by"

Review by: zzmehul | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed at Sukoon for one night based on the recommendation of our host at the Cottage, Nigeen and can't thank him enough for making the arrangement for our stay at Sukoon. The hospitality is great,right from the time they pick you from the shore of Dal lake in their own boat. The houseboat is fabulous with great wooden furniture along with all modern comforts.the staff was very helpful and courteous The food was delicious , especially the Tea (kahwa) and coconut dessert with chocolate sauce . The upper deck was the perfect place to spend our mornings and evenings and the lower decks was the best place sit and shop and also eat the pakodas and tea from the nearby floating shop. The rooms were comfortable and finely built and well maintained.Sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. While leaving white threads were tied to our wrists for our safe journey. We were really touched by this gesture.We will defiantly come back and stay for a longer time.

Villa Song Saigon: "Last destination and wow"

Review by: Thomas M | Source: Trip Advisor
"After a 20 minute taxi drive we arrived at the hotel in the evening. Our first thoughts were - very nice place but outside from the buzzeling district 1. However the hotel offers a shuttle boat service and while enjoying the boat ride you are very fast in downtown. We stayed 4 days with a break and we got 2 upgrades. The staff is very friendly motivated and helpful. The breakfast is a selection from the a la carte Menu. Therefore the food is always fresh cooked and very delicious. Yesterday evening this was topped by the dinner. Fantastic and very tasty food. A great thank you to all of you. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tandjung Sari: "best place in Sanur"

Review by: Vleestomaat | Source: tripadvisor.com
"All the positive reviews are true. This is a very nice hotel. We had two large connecting rooms. Lots of privacy. The pool and the dining area is beautiful. The breakfast is amazing (beware for additional kilograms). OK, it is rather expensive, but comparing with other hotels next door (we stayed earlier in Respari and Taverna as well), it is worth it. The spot on the beach is great. Lots of restaurants and activity, while remaining the relaxed Sanur."

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Beautiful spot, very peaceful and private"

Review by: lauragraceharvey85 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Loved Glamping! We stayed in the Penjor tent, next to the amazing rice fields, it was nice as you only had one tent on the right hand side and would wake up to the view of rice fields. Staff are great and helpful, we had dinner next to the private pool and massages each day. We found 3 nights was a perfect amount of time to stay and take everything in. The shuttle into Ubud is also wonderful and easy."

tugu lombok: "A little bit of paradise”"

Review by: Valproct | Source: tripadvison.com
"We have just had a 4 night break at this lovely Hotel. It has all of the wow factors and the staff treated us like royalty. It is a wonderful place to have a peaceful break away from the stress of work or city life and highly recommended. A word of warning about travelling to Lombok. Try and get a direct flight. We travelled from Singapore via Jakarta and had to change terminals which was a nightmare. We were given conflicting information about baggage and terminal numbers, which was all very stressful. "

Villa Mathis: "Un séjour extraordinaire"

Review by: Olivia D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Nous avons séjourné pendant 5 nuits à la Villa Mathis et nous y avons célébré notre mariage. Nous y sommes allés à 18 personnes, dès l'arrivée nous avons été émerveillé par les lieux, les chambres sont spacieuses et de très bien décorées. Les espaces communs sont splendides, de belles piscines et beaucoup de verdure, on avait envie de flâner dans chaque recoin. Le personnel est à l'écoute, et d'une gentillesse exceptionnelle.Notre cérémonie de mariage a été parfaite, tout le monde s'est plié en 4 pour que ce jour reste gravé dans nos mémoires. Un séjour qui restera inoubliable. Stayed September 2016, traveled with family"

The River Resort: "Many reasons to come, no reason to leave"

Review by: rdebode | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed in The River Resort mid July 2017, as the starting point of our Laos trip that took us up north from there. Great, nicely decorated bungalows with terrace or balcony and grand view over the mighty Mekong. Two swimming pools. A good restaurant serving a wide variety of local (and not-so-local) food. All set in a wonderful and well maintained tropical garden. Great staff that helps you with anything and more - like lending you bikes or fixing you a trip to a nearby or far-away site. Yes - the place lies somewhat remote from the obvious track; getting there needs some planning. The hotel can help you with that! Yes - nearby Champasak is a hamlet and everything is hamlet there; no fancy stores and no nightlife. You won't miss it, sitting on your balcony looking at the river and the sky over it! Yes - it's an expensive trip to those Mekong falls (some 100 kms south); once there they charge you for almost every step you take around the place. You'll forget this once you stand on a ridge watching a billion liters of Mekong water cascading down! The River Resort is not just a place to stay - it's an experience! A perfect start for a Laos trip, or as an ending as well."

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Great bungalows in a splendid location"

Review by: fabriceetpaola | Source: Trip Advisor
We enjoyed a lot our stay in Sanak retreat Bali. The bunglaows have two floors and are ideal for families. The views are great anywhere from the hotel with a large and nice pool. The proposed hiking going to the waterfall is highly recommended with a very nice guide. Restaurant ok but not great. On the expensive side for Bali

Cuca: "Great restaurant"

Review by: TMM773 | Source: Trip Advisor
This is the third time we have eaten at Cuca. Doesn't disappoint! The meal sizes are small and quite rich. We have enjoyed the experience each time we have been. Its not the type of restaurant you would eat in night after night but definitely worth a visit. Only negative - $15au for corkage! A bit steep when the bottle is only worth $25.
