This hotel is beautiful and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We've stayed 2 nights in Bangkok, we'd definitely come back to Cabochon. Amazing building and unique interior, very clean, good breakfast, great location; all details are perfect. Definitely recommend to stay in this hotel!

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Charming"

Review by: ant7007 | Source: Trip Advisor
I was there before with friends and then the 2nd time with my hubby as i cant stop talking about it. The 2nd visit was a surprised for me for our annivesary. We have been upraded to old kitchen with private jacuzzi, it was fantastic. And we have an old kitchen stove preserved by unesco in our room, what else can we ask for more. The mansion, believe not need introduction or promotion, the building speaks for itself. The best conservation and well preserved building in Penang and Malaysia...so far...

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Very lovely hideout"

Review by: AlbrechtFischer | Source: Trip Advisor
Beautiful place - if you go there, you never want to leave.... amazing food, great yoga lessons, very friendly staff, excellent food, nice spa. Like Thailand was 30 years ago but better. If you want internet in your room, buy a prepaid card at the airport, wifi only in at the restaurant. Be aware of the monkeys!

Misool Eco Resort: "Perfect"

Review by: Mike M | Source: Trip Advisor
"Perfect! That's about says all there is say. The staff are wonderful especially Mark and Sue. They taught me to dive and looked after me for my entire stay. The diving is fantastic there is just so much to see everywhere you look. This is a real paradise relatively undiscovered. Yes it costs a lot and is difficult to get to but it is worth every penny. The accommodation is beautiful, the food is outstanding and plentiful. I will be returning."

Cuca: "Exceptional!"

Review by: zsuki | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was easily ranked one of, if not, the best meals we've had in Bali. The property sits on a beautiful idyllic garden surrounded by coconut trees. It has an open concept kitchen and I diners sat by the kitchen counter. Service was excellent, in fact, more than excellent. So much attention to details without being intrusive. Food was an explosion of Flavours. I'm not going to list what we ate but everything we had was amazing. It's the first time I went to a restaurant and not take pics of the food as pics will not justify the experience. Like it says in the menu, come with an open mind and an empty stomach! Totally worth it!"

Maison Polanka: "“Excellent – best service Experienced in SE Asia”"

Review by: admiral b | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed three nights at maison polanka. We have lived 12 years in Thailand where the people are hospitable. However, the service we encountered at maidon polanka is unlike anything we have experienced. It feels like a home away from home. No detail is lacking and the fact that the hotel staff remember your name is notable. For those wishing a unique, Beautiful and u forgettable Experience to compliment your visit here, than maison polanka is a must!

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."

Stayed March 2016, traveled with family"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Tranqulity and Amazing Staff"

Review by: wilderfamily | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed at 4 Rivers earlier this week as part of our family trip through Cambodia. Although a long drive from Phnom Penh (5-6 hours given Phnom Penh traffic) the drive lets you experience beautiful scenery increasingly taking you into the rainforest areas before reaching the 4 Rivers reception and a short 20 mins boat ride to the Lodge. Once you arrive it is a beautiful setting with the tents floating on the river and the jungle all around. The tents are well equipped, spacious and private. The first night we were taken out on the river the see the fire flies and the second day we kayaked, swam in the river and took the side trip to the waterfalls which were fantastic. The staff at the resort were a mix of local villagers and the managers were from the Philippines. All of them were incredibly warm, genuine and helpful and simply wanted to ensure you were having a great time. You constantly are amazed and how wonderful the Cambodians are. The food was very good (taking into account you are in the middle of nowhere). I would encourage everyone to go and visit the lodge and the region as my greatest fear is that once relay discovered the area will fall victim to major development. For now it is a wonderful and magic place.

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Outstanding Service and a Cozy setting"

Review by: Hari T | Source: Trip Advisor
The point that strikes you the most is how everyone at Sea Dance is courteous and appear eager to assist in every way they can - it is a few minutes drive from Chewang Beach and that adds to the attraction
