The Apsara Rive Droite: "Very nice place"
Perfect location near by the river Khan, and so close the center with all shops, restaurants and bars. Warm welcome. Rooms having a very good value for money. Plus, we had a nice meal at the restaurant. Friendly staff and kind manager Christopher.Sea Dance Resort: "Unforgetable Holiday"
"I have to say that Sea Dance is one of the best hotel resorts I have been to! I enjoyed every moment I was there with their warm hospitality from Poy, Faith, Helen and the rest of the team! For those who love to have your privacy in terms of the beach itself, I would recommend the Sea Dance Resort! Trust me, you would never forget about it. Moreover, I was impressed by the Thai staff, Khun Pa, from the Sea Bass restaurant as l left my reading glasses behind and went to search for them but couldn't find them. She then followed up my request promptly and brought them back for me at the villa. Another lady was Khun Toy, the head chef, who always attended my spacial meal's requests and made sure that I would satisfy with those meals throughout my stay. How lucky The Sea Dance to have the thoughtful & caring staff like them. Last but not least, my favourite part was the live music which was performed by Gustavo and his friend, Niko! What a memorable experience ever! Keep up your wonderful work, Poy and your team! I'll be back again soon. Thank you very much for your uniqueness and professional service!"MesaStila: "I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting Central Java"
We had such an amazing stay that we wondered if we could extend our trip, despite needing to pay extra to change our flights. The room was super comfortable and artfully decorated. The vibe from the entire property was welcoming, peaceful and relaxing. I feel like we've been transported to a land without worries. The ever smiling and helpful staff definitely helped! The Turkish bath and massage was 12/10. Must try. I felt like a newborn right after.Villa Song Saigon: "Must stay"
"I had a chance to come across this hotel as I was sourcing an outdoor venue for a corporate event. Everyone at Villa Song was very helpful with our event. For those looking for a place to have an outdoor wedding, look no further - Villa Song is the place to go to! I had the chance to stay there for a night and I regretted as it's too short!!! I will definitely be back! The room is huge and the bed is very comfortable. They have a great restaurant that is just by the Saigon river that offers 2 completely different views for day and night. Food is awesome as well and you have the choice of either Vietnamese or Western - both are great. They have a great pool as well - though they don't offer any view but they have make the pool very cosy. Just a look at the pool and you will want to stay there. Spa was great too! I had a 75min massage - price is cheaper than the 5-star hotels in District 1. Although the location is at District 2, it is not far from other places. I would recommend staying here for 1-2N for some quiet moments before staying at the downtown area. Just a note that I don't think there is any elevator. Thus if you have problems walking up the stairs, you can request for rooms that are at the ground level."Tugu Bali: "Romantic Stay!"
"Tugu was such a unique experience! I loved eating breakfast overlooking the ocean each morning as well as being steps from the beach! The room was nice and the service was excellent! I really love the coconut milk lattes in the morning! So good!! Tugu's service is 5 star! Even the driver has fresh fruit for you and water as you commute to the hotel. Way to go Tugu!"Bassac Mekong Delta Cruises by Secret Retreats: "Wonderful experience"
Seeing the sunrise over the Mekong was an unforgettable experience. The food on board the boat is superb and we enjoyed the visit to local villages and seeing the floating market. Our guide, Annie, was excellent too.THE ISLAND LODGE: "The one that the Mekong Delta has been waiting for"
"The big bridge in My Tho opened the island of Thoi Soi to the world 8 years ago. Michel and Francoise has build a sanctuary at the end of this island. This should give the comfort and care to travellers to the Mekong Delta. Owners are very responsive and timely in their email correspondence making pre arranging things very smooth. The Island Lodge can arrange for pick up and drop off in Saigon. The two hour journey is pretty easy and brought us to The Island Lodge in good time. Staff are wonderful and nothing is too difficult. The pool and breakfast are amazing it's almost feels like you are in someone's house as a guest. Be warned the property is isolated and My Tho is accessible by boat or car (both can be arranged with Michel). Ton their in house driver is wonderful and speaks good English. Nice to have a cheerful driver taking us on the linger journeys. The local river, bicycle and floating markets are all activities if you care to leave the property, otherwise we relaxed by the pool and had some wonderful dinners in the main restaurant. Food options are French or Asian with an excellent wine selection. We can't wait to return. "Manda De Laos: "Great food and setting"
My wife and I visited the restaurant and enjoyed a really nice meal. The Lilly Pond is beautiful and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely return.David’s Kitchen: "TripAdvisor is correct"
"This is an awesome restaurant that has relocated to a beautiful facility near the old city. (50 baht Uber ride). A most enjoyable evening, one I wish we hadn’t missed during our visits to CM over the past 7 years. We will not make this mistake next year. Thank You David for a superb dining experience."Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "A must experience in Bangkok!"
The cruise was very intimate unlike the big party boats. Sit down dinner was awesome! One of the best tasting meals we had while in Bangkok. Would definitely recommend Suppaniga to everybody!
