Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful little classical hotel."
If you're looking for a hotel in Ho Chi Minh city, i recommend you Villa Song Saigon, the hidden gem only 10 mins by car or you also can take the private free boat into the City. The hotel is by the Saigon river, nice view for breakafast and afternoon tea.Try the eggs benedict for breakfast, won't disappoint you. Nice...Samanea Beach Resort: "It’s gorgeous place!"
Manager who was very kindly friendly with their guests. The room look like older but seems to be based traditional structure of the local citizen. The outside bathroom is definitely a unique feature. The resort was very silence that you could heard some songs from insects in night time hi hi hi. The beach that where you maybe swim but watch sunrise or sunset then that is a great experience. The long wharves that made me better feeling as on the sea by my foot. The food was so good. There are not many rooms in this resort with their large site, almost of them for tree, swimming pool. With kindly noted, the resort must control better against mosquito. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.Tugu Bali: "Can do in Canggu"
We had a great stay in Canggu. Hotel Tugu staff were friendly helpful and could not do enough for my wife and I. The surf was at our doorstep, there was massage, yoga nearby, great dining so there was something for everyone in my family.The River Resort: "A destination in iteself"
I am just back from an extended week-end trip to The River Resort. The resort is so peaceful, the rooms are absolutely beautiful, with large terraces, and the outdoor shower is fabulous! We went to visit the temple and some waterfalls, and I had not realized that so many other attractions are available nearby. That is great: I will come back then :)Locavore: "A “must” dining experience"
My husband and I went to Lacovore for lunch to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary and were very glad we did, it was one of the best dining experiences we have had anywhere. The booking process is very professional with follow up emails about what to expect, dress standards and how long the booking will be held for should guests be late. I have a food allergy and this was also followed up and discussed when we arrived. We chose the 7 course degustation menu, my husband the meat option and myself the vegetarian. However there were 4 appetisers before the first listed course and a pre and post dessert appetiser providing 13 courses in total. By the end we were full but the course sizes were such that we weren't unpleasantly so. Each dish was described when it arrived and all used ingredients local to the area, Bali and Indonesia. The cocktails also utilised local ingredients. Every dish had the perfect balance of flavours and textures and was beautifully presented. The waiting staff were attentive without being intrusive, friendly and professional. While it is not a cheap dining experience it is a highly recommended one. Book early however to ensure a booking, even for lunch. Dinner is often booked out weeks in advance.MesaStila: "Must-visit place for nature lovers, coffee lovers, & traditional Java-Dutch royal lovers"
We fell in love since we arrived at the gate of Mesa Stila. My older daughter (6 yo) said it's just like her dream castle :) the concierge, lobby, and the villa were beautiful as well as overall resort landscape. The staff's service was impressive & very helpful. We enjoyed the coffee plantation tour, beautiful afternoon tea, bicycle riding for my two-daughters, swimming, and quality breakfast indeed. My daughters did not want to go home after stay, so did I and my husband actually haha. Mesa Stila is exactly the place to spend quality time with your beloved. Thank you for the great service!Sandat Glamping Tents: "Words don´t describe this unique place"
"This place is like no other. Best in Bali! We stayed here for three nights around New Year 2016, one night in a tent and two nights in a lumbung. Everything was just very unique and perfect, from entering the property to check out. The interior design, the garden and the plants, the tatched bamboo roofs and buildings not to mention the tents and the lumbungs, the pool overlooking the jungle and the ricefield surroundings. I would say Sandat has the friendliest staff in Bali and the supernice and friendly Italian owners have managed to create a spotless concept. The interior design and sophisticated taste just crowned it all! Sandat is just ca 10-15 minutes drive from Ubud center and has a totally unique atmosphere; tranquility, lush, nature, green with the jungle on one side and the rice fields on the other side. The place will have their own yoga studio from spring 2016. If you're about to book something for Ubud, don't hesitate to go for this. You won't regret it! We even returned after a week of traveling around Bali and spend our last days at this fantastic place. Big thumbs up to the Italian owners Emanuela and Federico!"Jings-residence: "Perfect in every way"
Jing's Residence was a perfect experience: a rare combination of a hotel that reaches both the high standards of any world class hotel, combined with the charm, intimacy, and uniqueness of a small operation. It is exactly what a boutique hotel should be. Imam and his staff cared for our every need. The hotel was beautiful and historic, yet modern and comfortable. I cannot recommend Jing's Residence enough.Kenanga Hotel: "Best hotel we stayed in during our Indonesian visit"
"The Kenanga Boutique Hotel was the best hotel we stayed in during our 3 week journey to Indonesia. The service was excellent, the rooms clean and the view was extraordinary. The restaurant Terra Cotta has excellent food, if you tasted the food here there is no reason for you to go out for food in Ubud. The hotel offers an hourly shuttle bus to Ubud (15min). Also try the cycling tour, this very nice tour guides you through the real Bali. They pick you up around 8:30 and you make a downhill tour with max 6 people. Breakfast is complementary but you can better take the hotel's breakfast as it is wonderful. We would definitely recommend this hotel is you would visit Ubud."4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A hidden gem"
We only stayed two nights at 4 Rivers Lodge but it was totally worth it and stunning! We have been very much happy with this experience! it's the best way to relax and be in contact with the nature: no wifi, phone, no TV, no computer. We spent our days cooling off in the Tatai River, phishing, kayaking, having a massage, discovering the little island in front of the resort and trying out the excellent fresh food available at the restaurant. All the tents are very private and comfortable. The shower is a gem! It was simply an amazing experience that we'll never forget! we are happy we chose this place for our honeymoon trip! so peaceful and immersed in the wildest nature of Cambodia! Also, the staff is very friendly and nice! An amazing experience!
