Maduzi Hotel: "Best and Super cozy hotel around schumvit road"

Review by: KHUNJUHYUNKIM | Source: Trip Advisor
"I am KHUN Kim who stayed for 4 days from January 26th to 30th. As with the last visit, all the staff were friendly and the hotel conditions were excellent. I do not know if you remember me, but I stayed on the M floor. I guess Especially three staff members will remember me. It was a good memory, and I will visit again next time. In particular, can the three people contact me? I would like to have a small present for the next visit. I would like to write a name of staff members ... even though I asked for a name, but I forgot hahaha. I hope to see you soon. MR KIM who loves bkk in Korea. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic"

Review by: the_belgian_couple | Source: Trip Advisor
In January, we stayed for two weeks at Villa Song, and to be honest, it was the best holiday we've had in years ! Of course, Saigon is a beautiful and interesting city, but staying at Villa Song was the cherry on te cake. Never have we seen such friendly staff who did way more than just their job to make our stay memorable. From reception to housekeeping, everyone always had a smile on their face and was eager to help. A special "thumbs up" for the ladies (and gentleman) at reception - you were great ! We love you ! Above that, the hotel itself is a little gem : beautiful, calm, impeccably clean and ideally located in the nice Thao Dien district, away from the noisy and busy city centre. A complementary boat shuttle made going for a stroll and visiting the old town centre super easy. And last but not least : the hotel also has a fantastic restaurant with great food - definitely worth a visit ! Villa Song will be seeing us again :-) ! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Can’t miss in Siem Reap"

Review by: Andrew W | Source: Trip Advisor
"Happened to stumble on this place after wandering around Siem Reap looking for dinner and was able to be seated without a reservation. That was a stroke of good fortune because this restaurant was exceptional. If you're in Siem Reap, do yourself a favor and visit this establishment. It's pricey for SR standards, but great value for the quality, especially if you're coming from an expensive city. And try the Margarita."

The Apsara Rive Droite: "I think it’s the only place in town to stay"

Review by: bettystaffs | Source: Trip Advisor
"I travel a lot in Asia and this is one of my must stay hotels. it has one thing in spades and that's that elusive thing called style. The staff are great if a trifle dotty, the rooms are comfy, the wine list is amazing and the food is great. You won't find a better place in town to hang out. It might not be everyone's idea of luxury but I've never thought that luxury involved looking at in room tea and coffee making facilities. Room Tip: I like downstairs but them i'm nosey"

Tugu Bali: "Loved this hotel!"

Review by: Shmoopy_12 | Source: Trip Advisor
"For the record , this is the first time I've ever given a 5 star rating ! This hotel was awesome! Especially the staff . So welcoming and friendly. When we first arrived , the Assistant Manager , Ari greeted us with a welcome beverage and introduction to the hotel . There was a dinner show going on at the time in the lobby so we're able to watch while we waiting for our room to be ready . When we were walking to our room , it was like being in a garden temple , so much culture and greenery and art work , it was like a museum Of Bali culture and art. Nice walkways , bridges , areas to have romantic dinners , etc and close to the beach . I can't say enough about the room! Our own pool! How unexpected! And an out door swing and outdoor bathroom with a fish pond surrounding it. So serene. It was off-season so the hotel is very quiet , no parties or loud music which we loved. They also have a lovely pool area, afternoon tea, cooking lessons, and great restaurants . Our favourite was the outdoor barbecue restaurant overlooking the surf where we had the most perfect view of the sunset . I would definitely highly recommend this hotel , loved it, thank you ."

Mudanwan Villa: "Tranquil and GREAT hot spring facilities"

Review by: Shirley C | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have stayed in Mudanwan for 2 night with my family. We got a big room on the ground floor with our own hot spring pool and swimming pool in the back yard (privacy guaranteed), a large bathroom with another indoor hot spring pool, two king size beds, and it was just fabulous!!! We went for a full board package and the food was just gorgeous and fresh! There's a 24 hr juice/snack bar too. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the services were just great. We really had a fantastic time there. Although the location is really in the middle of nowhere, they do offer a nice shuttle service. "

Tugu Bali: "Closest hotel to the beach"

Review by: wyliearens | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel was 5 stars with a 3 star price. Everything was perfect at this hotel. It was close to the beach (a 3 minute walk). Very clean, beautiful rooms. The staff went above and beyond. I had a sun burn and called the front desk to see if they had any aloe. What they did was track down an aloe plant and brought it to my room. It was amazing! I also loved the essential oil they had in our room and the hotel packaged up some for me to take home. They really wanted you to love your stay! The breakfasts were outstanding. I had the healthy yogurt bowls that were out of this world. Can't wait to visit again!

Inle Princess Resort: "Prime Position"

Review by: trevorbart | Source: Trip Advisor
A beautiful place in an idyllic setting. Spacious chalet with outside deck whetjr one has Lake View or Pond View (slightly less expensive. Excellent breakfast and very good dinner. Binoculars and bird book a very nice touch. No tv anywhere. Wi-fi not available in guest rooms, only in reeption and dining area (although we had good wiifi in our chalet number 102. Approach is by motor boat from town about 30 minutes away althogh last 500 yards is by leg rower so there is little noise disturbance. Consider your return to Heho airport by car all the way (omitting the 30-minute boat ride and loading and unloading luggage) which save about half an hour on the journey. The final touch -- it was my wife's birthday on the dy we left and sh had a sing and a cake from the staff at 0630 in th morning and a beautiful silk skirt as a present from the owner himself who seems sincere about greening Burma and providing social benefits to his employees and the local community.

arumdalu: "a hidden gem filled with surprises!"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: tripadvisor.com
We never expect to find such a refine place at the very southern tip of Belitung island. A very creative and delicate cuisine, sustainable practices to save energy or natural fogging, an attentive service, large villa with private pool, 800m of white sand beach and beautiful landscape. Only recommend to people who appreciate quiet beauty!!!
