MesaStila: "one of the best"

Review by: Robert T | Source: tripadvisor.com
I have traveled extensively all over the world and this is probably one of the most amazing 'hotels' ever. Each room is it's own private house, a house that was bought somewhere in Java and moved to the property and then carefully renovated and modernized. Amazing. Property is just beautiful and the pool and spa area perfect. Nice touches like free afternoon tea with enough food that one has to think about not eating too much. People so nice and courteous.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Boutique & Elegant – Perfect Hideaway"

Review by: diva314 | Source: Trip Advisor
by far the most boutique hotel I've ever stayed - 8 rooms. Our two bedroom suite came with a fully equipped kitchen, living room and dining area. And each bedroom has a balcony. Since there are so few rooms, I hardly came across other guests. It felt like I was staying at a friend's house while on vacation, very cozy, comfortable and right at home. I love the mattress and the bedding. Slept like a baby every night. I tried most of the items on the breakfast menu- all tasted great. The front desk recommended massage in room and it was excellent! Next time I would like to book the entire hotel of 8 rooms and throw a party there with friends!

Rachamankha: "Superb hotel"

Review by: Bobtdiver | Source: Trip Advisor
Built in the style of an colonial residence, beautifully laid out, lovely rooms, super-helpful service - loved it. Lovely pool to hang out by. Restaurant was superb (and not too expensive). Would stay here again!

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "lazy days"

Review by: martevans | Source: Trip Advisor
a superb resort on the Arabian sea with a private and pristine beach. Fantastic infinity pool and food to match. Staff friendly, accommodation spacious and clean, an ideal spot to wind down whilst travelling in Kerala. The Lotus houseboat "the best". Dining on the beach a highlight. Well done staff for making our stay perfect.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Otherworldly"

Review by: alygibson | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel has been covered extensively, and for good reason. We stayed for four nights during our honeymoon, and even though we stayed at truly luxurious hotels, 4 Rivers was a real highlight. You take a boat about 25 minutes to floating wooden platforms with about 15 tents set up. The rooms are well appointed (nothing special), but you're there for the surroundings. Our bodies got accustomed to waking up with the sun and going to sleep when it got dark. We enjoyed taking the sunset cruise at the end of the day, and exploring the mangroves in kayaks. The staff, especially Rambo and Bono, are delightful. It was here that we fell in love with Cambodia. My only complaint is that food was bad (not authentic). Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song Saigon: "2 nights wasn’t enough"

Review by: PipNZ516 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Fabulous hotel, loved every minute. After a busy 2 weeks travelling south from Hanoi via Mekong Delta it was a real treat to finish our trip with 2 nights at Villa Song. It was extremely hot in Saigon compared to everywhere else so we used the hotel as a sanctuary to recuperate and enjoy. We got it right! The free shuttle boat into town was great and frequent, so the only trip we made was to the market to finish our gift and souvenir shopping, then spent the rest of the day by the pool. It was lovely also to sit by the river watching the 'traffic', with delicious food and friendly staff. Breakfast was served for most of the morning and was a fantastic way to start the day. The room was great (we had an extra bed put into a twin room) on the top storey - a bit of a climb without a lift but not a huge problem, it's not as though you had to carry your bags or anything! Absolutely top of the list for another trip to Saigon, and maybe next time I will be able to drag myself away from the oasis that is Villa Song and see a little bit of the city!"

Chakrabongse Villas: "Wonderful hotel"

Review by: Gregory G | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed one night in this hotel. This hotel is really beautiful. It is authentic and well located in the city. I would definitely recommend it. The room is huge and you have a large terrace. The breakfast is really good and can be served on the terrace as well. The staff speaks a very good English and are very helpful. This hotel would be a bit more expensive than other hotels that we did in Bangkok but it is definitely worth it. We hope to come back in Bangkok and stayed there. Thank you again for the Thailand flag :)"

David’s Kitchen: "True definition of culinary experience in Chiang Mai"

Review by: 205PAT2014 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Spending the evening at David's Kitchen was a total experience. - Food was unbelievably heaven-ish: I had Wagyu Braised Beef Cheek, which as a special menu. - Ambience was impeccable. Nicely decorated. Classy taste of interior design. - Hospitality was top knotch. Conversation with David, Khun Prom and staffs were both entertaining and insightful. If I had more time, I would have loved to try out aperetivo in the Red Room, which will be soon be under renovation, I guess. Culinary experience in Chiang Mai can hardly get better, if at all!"
