Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Relaxing Stay"

Review by: Ipsita A | Source: Trip Advisor
"Me and my husband stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights over the good Friday weekend. Our pick up from the airport was arranged by the hotel and it was done in a timely manner. We stayed in the seashell villa with a private pool. Rooms are spacious and having a private pool is def an added advantage. They have a really good infinity pool with a beautiful view of the sea. The in-house resturant has a good selection of Thai food options. We also tried the Sunday brunch which was a bit pricey, but had a great spread. They also have a good gin collection. Last but not the least, staff is extremely helpful and friendly. While the place is away from fisherman's village, it's easily accessible via taxi even at night. The only negative aspect was that the wifi connectivity in the room was patchy. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Amazing"

Review by: barryswain75 | Source: Trip Advisor
Tiger Mountain Lodge is amazing. Though access may be slightly problematic for the less agile such as myself, any efforts are certainly worthwhile. My room (7) had breathtaking views over the mountains and (very kindly ) the weather Gods lifted the clouds enabling the magnificent scene to unfold. Though this reality was obviously outside the control of the lodge management , the friendly and efficient care that was delivered throughout the stay at the lodge. My food requirements are unusual to say the least, but an understanding staff managed to accommodate those peculiarities very efficiently. All aspect of care lived up to or exceeded expectations and Grateful thanks are due to a very efficient team.

Rachamankha: "Lovely and serene"

Review by: AndoverDan | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel is a lovely and serene property in the bustle of Chiang Mai, very traditional in style. The pool facility is excellent. Breakfast is excellent. The room was spacious and comfortable. However, the door is made of very heavy wood, and the only window fin the room faced a wall, so the room felt a bit like a cell. Service was gracious, if a bit impersonal. The hotel is located on the eastern edge of the Old City. It is a long walk to the daily morning and night markets, but very convenient to the Sunday night walking street.

Reverie Siam: "Outstanding! Loved everything about it"

Review by: FlaviaPacheco | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Amazing service, big and quiet rooms, lots of green, great swimmingpools, beautiful decor, best restaurant in town, great price. This hotel is a hidden gem. They even offer local mobile phones for guests to take when going to town, so they can call the hotel for sending a driver to pick them up. I am 100% happy with this hotel. I highly recommend it."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Amazing and unique"

Review by: Saroj A | Source: Trip Advisor
This is one of the best places we have stayed at. The Floating tents are so unique, in a very tranquil and beautiful location. Everything about it was different. We felt very special, as the service was very personal and nothing was too much trouble. The food and all amenities were very good. The 'swimming pool' is the river, which was brilliant as it was clean and calm with access from each tent. I just wished we had stayed longer. Thoroughly recommend this.

Simple, authentic, amazing home cooked food, cute little rooms, great views over the valley and right in the middle of nature. Aye, the host cooks all organic from the garden and around.

The Island lodge: "Gorgeous retreat along the Mekong River; exceptional staff"

Review by: pjdeisinger | Source: Trip Advisor
Gorgeous retreat along the Mekong River. We stayed in one of the garden bungalows and had such a peaceful and lovely time after our frenetic few days in Ho Chi Minh City. The hotel grounds are beautiful with wonderful landscaping of the lush, natural greenery. Breakfast is included and is taken in the open air lounge looking onto the pool and the river. The pool itself is beautiful with plenty of loungers and a good mix of sun and shade, and you can watch the Mekong River drift by as you enjoy a drink from the bar a few steps away. The staff at The Island Lodge really made the whole experience extra special - everyone was so kind and welcoming to my husband and I during our stay. Chau (the manager) was absolutely the best - she was so helpful and attentive to all of our requests, coordinating with her staff to ensure we were well taken care of the entire time. She gave us recommendations of local restaurants and some sightseeing places in My Tho, too, when we wanted to venture out, and helped arrange our transportation. The hotel is very secluded and a bit out of the way from the town and other attractions but for this kind of property I believe that is sort of the point. We chose to stay here for a few days between Ho Chi Minh and a river cruise leaving from Can Tho. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan to go to the Mekong Delta area (it’s worth a stay on its own, even if you DIDN’T already plan on coming to the area)!

Satri House: "Wonderful hotel"

Review by: shpreiss | Source: Trip Advisor
Satri House is simply a very special place. My husband and I stayed there three nights right before Christmas and couldn't have been happier. The hotel staff is very welcoming and warm; the property is gorgeous with amazing antique furniture, two pools and a very special design. The food in the restaurant is also excellent served in a patio like setting overlooking lush vegetation. Of all hotels we stayed at during our two week trip, Satri House was our favorite. Thank you!!
