Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Wonderful 3 days in Sea Dance Resort"
"After a disaster morning, having checked in in out from another hotel, we started to look for a hotel for our last three night in Thailand and in Koh Samui. After reading many different reviews of all the available hotel, we selected Sea Dance Resort! It is again a special hotel, in the nord of the island, comfortable bungalows in the nature, nice open on the side bathroom, great team from reception to the restaurant, all very kind and helpful! Great breakfast with different fresh juices, fruits, cheese, eggs, toast, some Thai specialities all you can dream in the morning. The restaurant is at a high level of quality that we can judge the best Thai food of our holiday. Of course the price is higher than the restaurants in the village. In the area they are also meny things to visit and with the ""rent a bike"" just outside the entrance you can organize your holiday in the best way. A special thank you to Lux at reception and the restaurant crew!"SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "とっても素敵な湖畔の一軒家レストラン"
食事、雰囲気、サービスいずれもとても良いです。ここがヤンゴンであることを忘れそうになるほど。建物外観からして素敵。内装も外観との連続性にこだわっていますしセミオープンなキッチンもきちんと運用されてる様子です。料理ジャンルはフレンチベースのヨーロッパ料理とでも言うのでしょうか。スイス人の経営です。食材にこだわりがあり、ワインリストのラインナップも充実していてお手軽なものから高級なものまで選べます。料理はコースとアラカルト。私たちは子連れで4人だったので二人分のコースをシェアしました。ボリュームはそれでも十分でした。お値段はコースだとUSD65~USD85くらい。それなりにはしますが満足度は高いです。うちでは記念日御用達でしょうか。Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Friendly, beautiful and excellent"
"We went in the month of June to this resort. It was monsoon time. whatever people say we love travelling in the monsoon. The beauty of the countryside is seen during this season. The manager of the place we stayed was very friendly on the phone while we checked on availability and proved more so on meeting. Room was lovely a large bedroom with an semi-open bathroom. Eco-friendly place. Food was sea food which was excellent with choice of chicken and mutton. The menu for each day was fixed and had enough variety to satisfy everyone. Swimming pool overlooks the sea and quite beautiful. Our kids enjoyed the pool even when it rained. We could walk out into the private beach though the sea was stormy given the monsoon. The staff was friendly and courteous. The resort is non-smoking but i did catch a fellow guest smoking. Books to read. No liquor other than beer and wine so if you drink carry your booze. All in all a great visit."Satri House: "Home away from home"
"Close to the most gathering places, quite, peaceful with a warmth & welcome staff members. The design made us feel like home each building has traditional style with beautiful decorations in details. The services are personalize special care not much not less with the touch of Laos. We will absolutely return and spend longer days."Maison Polanka: "“Excellent – best service Experienced in SE Asia”"
We stayed three nights at maison polanka. We have lived 12 years in Thailand where the people are hospitable. However, the service we encountered at maidon polanka is unlike anything we have experienced. It feels like a home away from home. No detail is lacking and the fact that the hotel staff remember your name is notable. For those wishing a unique, Beautiful and u forgettable Experience to compliment your visit here, than maison polanka is a must!Villa Song Saigon: "You will never want to leave"
My family of 4 stayed here for 2 nights in May. It was the last 2 nights of a 3 week trip around Vietnam so i wanted to stay somewhere special. This hotel is quite expensive by Vietnam standards, but it certainly is a standout in terms of quality. The rooms are so beautiful, the food was the best hotel food we had anywhere in vietnam and I loved taking the boat to the city. We spent a lot of time in the pool and the fitness centre had everything you need. i would definitely recommend this hotel. If only we had stayed longer.Jing’s Residence: "beautiful boutique hotel in the antique city of pingyao"
"you enter a magic environment when you are a guest of Jing's residence. the careful manager is a prefect host and will take care of you and your needings. the furniture in the rooms is excellent, absolutely clean, splendid the food in the Chinese traditional restaurant where you can get also continental food in the old city of pingyao an old looking hotel five stars"The Island Lodge: "A haven of peace in the Mekong Delta OK"
"This is a beautifully conceived boutique resort of 12 rooms, whose hosts and staff couldn't be more accommodating, warm and gracious. It is right on the Mekong River just 1-1/2 hours from the bustle and chaos of Saigon. Michel, the French owner and creative force behind this idyllic lodge, and his wife, Francoise, go above and beyond to cater to your every need. It is managed in a professional and gracious manner. The lodge arranged our transport from Saigon and back to the airport which went without a hitch. In fact I left my cellphone in the car. The driver found it; there wasn't enough time to retrieve it before my flight, but the lodge assured me they would get it to me and I received it at my next destination well packaged and Michel refused our offers to reimburse them for the postage and handling, saying it was their pleasure. What a lovely gesture. Fabulous pool overlooking the river, wonderful open dining room, tastefully decorated to a high standard. Rooms are beautiful, comfortable and beautifully situated. Ours was in the garden (we chose to have a bathtub rather than the river view) and the setting among the ponds, water lillies, little bridges was perfect. We took a half day trip on the river, designed for tourists, but our guide was knowledgeable and interesting and even the kitschy coconut candy making, ride on a Vietnamese rowboat down.a small tree canopied canal, paddled by two Vietnamese women (occasionally men), honey tea service was fun and educational. (No pressure to buy anything). I had two massage sessions (one an herbal with balls) and both were fabulous -- and very reasonably priced. Couldn't ask for a nicer couple of days. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Requires a Sixth Star"
We spent two nights at Muang La Lodge last week and wish we had stayed two more nights. We have traveled to over 40 countries and I can't recall a better hotel experience. From our greeting by the Assistant Manger, to the beautiful room, to the hot tubs and massage, to the gourmet 5 course dinners and the fascinating day trips and activities, you can't ask for more. Add to that an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location. It isn't the easiest hotel to get to, but make the effort. It's worth it.Tugu Bali: "Wonderful Experience"
"If you are looking for a luxury hotel which upon entry you feel like you are in a warm home filled with beautiful antiques and lovely friends, stay at Hotel Tugu Bali. The rooms are beautifully decorated with wooden floors, four poster beds, day lounges, and unique lamps/dressers/etc. We stayed in room 208 which overlooks a pond filled with water lilies directly below and the ocean in view (and earshot). The room layout included a partially enclosed room with a day bed, sunken tub and seating area-a perfect area to have breakfast and/or dinner. The food was delicious-both breakfast and dinner included a variety of local options, including tasting plates. The staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. My sister took a floral arranging class with Dek, who is extremely talented and showed her how to make beautiful offerings. Massages are very good-highly recommended. Once at the hotel there is no reason to leave-it is an experience in itself. However, the hotel is located about a 2 minute walk to the beach and 2 minute walk to an area which has many restaurants and shops. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"
