Villa Song Saigon: "Loved it"

Review by: joudranwebb | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wow! We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Song and we enjoyed every minute of it. Villa Song is a boutique hotel with nice garden, lovely pool and a small gym. The hotel has great location on Saigon River away from the bustle of the city center. The boat service to town makes things much easier. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant is right on the riverand the food was excellent, breakfast was included and could be had any time during the day. We would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again."

Labyrinth: "Inventive Menu by Chef / Owner L G Han"

Review by: Neil A | Source: Trip Advisor
"If you are looking for a dining experience to really remember then the one Michelin Star, Labyrinth Restaurant is for you. We enjoyed the ten (10) course, very inventive, degustation menu with matching wines. This was not a 'cheap meal out' alternative but what an experience. The sensational flavours Chef Han has 'developed / created' and presents beautifully onto your plate are to die for and create much discussion if you are lucky enough to be sharing this experience (and I mean a 'real experience') with someone. Each course is described by the excellent staff, who are attentive, but not overly so, which is good for a dining experience. We were lucky enough to get to talk to Chef / Owner Han (apparently an Investment Banker ?? in a previous life), who is a very dedicated and focused Chef and ever so willing to talk about his passion for food, presentation, attention to detail and how and why he set out to create the 'truly innovative' fair he offers at Labyrinth. If you're in Singapore, love food and wine and like to challenge your taste buds with something very different, then Labyrinth will certainly meet your every expectation."

Tugu Bali: "Unforgettable"

Review by: task69 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The experience starts in the wonderful lobby, when arriving at the Tugu. The old and marvelous pieces of furniture, the statues, the wooden passage among flowers and balinese symbols and, most of all, the warm and gentle welcome by the staff, gives you a first succulent taste of what the stay will be. This is confirmed throughout the entire time spent in Tugu's suites, true traditional balinese wooden villas, perfectly furnished and communicating that real old style luxury that you are probably looking for if you chose to stay in this place. It's expensive, but worth every single euro spent. I hope I will have the chance to come back. In one word: excellent!"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Good couple of nights"

Review by: David J | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent two lovely nights there. The location is stunning and the tents are very well set up with aircon, comfy beds and a great shower. The menu is short but well prpepared and we really enjoyed our kayaking expedition. It takes quite a while to get there but definitely worth a couple of nights for something memorable and different.

Villa Song Saigon: "What makes a good hotel great?"

Review by: David B | Source: tripadvisor.com
What makes a great hotel? Is it location, style, luxury, food quality, service, amenities, exclusivity,ambiance? Villa Song has all of this and much more. The indefinable thing that makes paying customers feel like honored guests - friends even. This is like a Mini Singapore Raffles located on the Saigon River half an hour from HCM airport. It's hard not to gush about this place and harder to find fault. I dare you to try. If you go there you will be looked after by GM Yega, his wonderful staff including the charming Freddie who seems to be able to do everything. You might be served breakfast by Miss Hua and her colleges, have a cocktail concocted for you especially by the fantastic bar manager, take a ride on the hotel launch, sit by the fabulous pool,,,,,,You will certainly be fed by master Chef Kevin. F&B director and chef from Luxembourg. The quality of food pumped out of his kitchen will delight you. I could go on and on but I am busy planning my next (much longer) stay in this very special hotel. Check out this unique and special little gem for yourself....but leave room for me.

Inle Princess Resort: "Lake Paradise!"

Review by: João Miguel C | Source: Trip Advisor
"Do not go to Inle Lake if you cannot stand mosquitoes, or if you think you are going to find an alpine lake, with crystal clear water. Having said all that, GO to Inle Lake if you want to experience the magic of a land of great craftsmen and wonderful cooks, where the temples are the most beautiful and the lake is just a means of transportation to many enchanted venues in the area. And if you go, stay at the Inle Princess Resort, where I had one of the best stays of my entire life, enjoying their super spacious rooms, with indoor and outdoor showers, great treats from the chef and of course, excellent breakfast and even better dinner. I cannot stress enough how well we were treated in the resort and how much I would like to go back. The property is the closest resort to the town of Nyaung Shwe, so the boat ride is fairly quick. Only in our last day did we realize that there was a road to town as well, but I sincerely believe, after a day full of activities, that your best bet is to relax in the pool area, enjoy the sunsets and have the best dinner at the hotel!"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "A beautiful restaurant"

Review by: Kerensa2014 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I only managed to try the top 2 recommended restaurants in Yangon - Seeds and Le Planteur and have to say that Seeds is number 1 for good reasons. Everything in this restaurant is beautiful - the food, decor and grounds which fronts the lake with lotus flowers. It’s perhaps better to come before night falls in order to fully appreciate the surroundings. The place is a little difficult to find and signage not very prominent so do ensure that your driver knows it before you set off. Food is gorgeous and the service is good and staff cheerful. If you only time to visit one restaurant in Yangon, make it this one."

Reverie Siam: "Excellent Resort in Pai"

Review by: Att V | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a great time staying at this resort. We really do appreciate all the attention to details as well as all the special care that we had received from the staffs and management throughout our stay. Foods at the restaurant were very nice from breakfast dishes to lunch and dinners. We were lucky enough to be able to meet with the young owner. We can tell that he really love what he is doing. He put a lot of effort and his heart on this property. All the very best to the owner and staffs. Thank you ver much for a great stay. We will definitely come back to stay with you again. "

Reverie Siam: "My three days of heaven"

Review by: TheResidentTourist | Source: Trip Advisor
While visiting my son in Chiangmai he decided to take me to visit Pai, where we stayed in this beautiful hotel. I have been very fortunate to have travelled around many parts of the world, staying in many five star hotels, but this hotel has to be up there with the very best. The rooms were beautifully decorated, clean comfortable beds, too comfortable that I didn't want to wake up! The shower was very hot and powerful, in fact ***** star. The food was excellent, so much so that we ate every meal there. The staff were first class very attentive. This is a hotel away from the buzz where you will find peace and quiet to enjoy style and comfort.
