Bassac Mekong Delta Cruises by Secret Retreats: "Peaceful cruise on Bassac III"

We did an overnight cruise on the Bassac III boat on 6/7 Dec 2017. It was an excellent way to see some of the Mekong Delta, combined with some relaxation and wonderful food. The crew were friendly and welcoming and the trip very well organised. The cabins are very small but comfortable and the small ensuite bathroom ingeniously designed. The food was plentiful and delicious. We visited a floating market and a local market and particularly enjoyed the visit to a local village, where we tasted fruit at a local house. Our young guide was delightful and, as she came from the area, she was able to give us a good insight into the daily life on the Mekong. This trip is highly recommended.

Tugu Bali: "Beauty in Bali"

"We had a lovely stay here in September, sadly of only 2 nights... We were greeted and welcomed so well when we arrived after a long journey and nothing was too much for the staff. This area of Canggu is near to Echo Beach and a part of Bali that we see has not been spoilt yet... We were told that Seminyak was the place to go but I disagee and would strongly advise this area as it is more pure and real Bali than Seminyak. Our Dedari suite room at the hotel was truly beautiful and an outdoor/indoor bathroom with fish pond! Only downside was that we thought the hotel was on the beach but it isn't although just a few steps away..."

David’s Kitchen: "A wonderful experience"

Rachamankha: "Spectacular Boutique Property"

"We actually changed our travel dates to be able to stay at this beautiful hotel in Chiang Mai. We had the good fortune of staying in a 2 Bedroom Suite(#24). The space was large, the amenities very comfortable and the beds.....the most comfortable I have slept in for a long time The hotel is stunning. Don't go in expecting a big business hotel with lots of glass and steel. The hotel is a reflection of Lanna architecture and everything about it is so. Big glass windows with large wooden doors. Huge high ceilings. Tiled roofs. Greenery everywhere, all manicured to perfection. Every corner of this property seems to tell a story. The entire hotel has been curated and the architecture, art, artefacts, furniture all have an air of detail to them The breakfast is alacarte with more than enough options to offer everyone Its not an ideal hotel to come to with kids(we came with 2). its a bit too eclectic for them Would I come back? In a heartbeat. Would I pay the asking price? Without hesitation"

Labyrinth: "Impeccable service and delicious roast pork!"

The great service started even before the dinner when they called to check if we were going for a theatre program (we were). We enjoyed the roast pork and risotto and the chili crab dish was excellent as usual. Desserts were a little too sweet for our taste (maybe it’s just us). But the sweetness was balanced by the tea offered by the wait staff who was considerate enough to notice that we still had time before our theatre program.

Villa Song Saigon: "Great"

"Stayed here two days for business to avoid the usual ""Hilton, Hyatt ,,,"" routine and didnt regret that. The position to the river is unique altough if you are heading for the city centre you have to face either a boat trip or a longer taxi lift. Rooms are modern, sleeping quality very good. The restaurant cant decide what is the focus on (they call it fusion).  Breakfast only week point I can name (e.g. if you order ""bread basket"" you would expect butter, jam etc coming along with this, but here it means only bread so you have to ask for every item). Staff beautiful trained."

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Very cool"

Great location, great service and a really nice,quaint hotel room. The people are very attentive, When we arrived they took plenty of time to be sure we were comfortable and settled. They set us up with a tour of the floating markets and the best cycle tour of the Mekong Delta area. The bike tour was one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip,

Tugu Malang: "Excellent deco, service and spa"

"Very nice hotel located close to train station (no need taxi). Many antiques collected by owner make hotel deco look unique with many rooms to discover and nice pieces of furniture. They know how to greet guests and make business: 15mn massage offered, very good local pastries with drink offered at tea time. Nice pool for children, good restaurant and cosy colonial bar. Great location to visit the town and the region. Very good surprise to find this hotel in this small town."

Muang La Lodge: "Accueil exceptionnel"

Two fantastic days in quiet (so that we remained asleep despite the programming of a tour!) Pay attention at all times to us, an absolute detail care, fine dining, baths at 40 degrees. .. From relaxation pure!
