4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Stunning and calm 3 days at 4 Rivers"

Review by: ofiucus | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We loved the lodge, from the moment we arrived the warm welcome and the stunning location were as much as we could have hoped for. From kayaking in the mangroves to swimming in the waterfalls and in the river just outside your tent - this place is anything but dull - check out their activity programme. We are vegan & vegetarian and the staff accommodated us completely - with a varied and changing menu with multiple options every day. Highly recommended - and having read the very few negative reviews I can only think of them as truly bizarre. This is heaven on Earth."

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "excellent food"

Review by: kyawt | Source: Trip Advisor
The first time to visit this fine dining of French cuisine and had excellent food and wine and cheese. It is a bit noisy as there is a party at one end . They said since it is raining they had no other place to accommodate them. We must say this is the best french food in the city so far. When the rain is over it will be a nice experience to sit outside on the bank of Inya Lake. Only if they have better music and curtains and drapes to absorb the noise, we will be delighted to enjoy a fine dining.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Well looked after"

Review by: helen c | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed in April. Our lodge was comfortable, food excellent and the staff and owner very friendly. We were well looked after. Highlights included the resident birdlife and the possibility of seeing the leopard who roams the area. Best of all, was the sunrise casting a pink glow over Fishtail mountain and the others in the Annapurna range. This only happened one of the mornings we were there, nevertheless it was awesome.

GOLDEN BUDDHA BEACH RESORT: "Luxury Eco villa"

Review by: millhat | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We spent 4 nights here in February 2016 , staying in Bougainvillea Baan and absolutely loved it . The house was almost on the beach with well designed open decking areas , comfortable chairs for lounging in , outdoor shower , mosquito nets , dining area etc , plus a great collection of books and magazines to browse. It had a kitchen and dining table which went unused as we ate at the restaurant each evening . The food, service , and cocktails were excellent ; fresh and delicious every time . The club house and bar were great areas for sitting drinking and watching the sunsets and Happy Hour an absoloute must at 6 pm . The staff were always courteous , helpful and unfailingly polite. Loved the shop too , with a range of authentic and beautifully curated range of clothes , jewellery , glasses , textiles etc : we didn't bother going to the markets as everything we wanted to buy was here... And more ! A truly beautiful and magical place , made so by the people who work , run and manage it , and a special mention for Pena ! Very much intend to return "

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Blissful luxury"

Review by: MelD075 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Have just spent 3 nights in this breathtakingly beautiful part of Cambodia and can't recommend this place highly enough. The setting is serene and absolutely beautiful, surrounded by a forest rich with birdlife and native animals. The floating tents are very nicely appointed and comfortable. Thid is how camping should be! What made the stay for me was the excellent service provided by professional and attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the focus is very much on the visitor enjoying their stay. From the restaurant staff to the guides who took us on a day tour to the waterfall, the staff are friendly and more than happy to share information about this beautiful region and their culture. The food was amazing with a changing set menu and lots of a la carte options, utilising local fresh ingredients. A good range of wine, beer and spirits is also on offer. The concept of no tv, no telephones and no internet may be challenging for some however the opportunity to sit and watch river life and the natural environment is priceless. This was the highlight of my Cambodia trip and I can't recommend this experience highly enough"

Tugu Lombok: "Best ever hotel, would make it 10 stars if I could"

Review by: fabienen29 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is by far the best hotel I have ever visited. First, the settings are absolutely amazing: we spent 4 days there, and were still discovering a piece of art or statue here and there. Our villa was delightful, so are the two pools and restaurant, and the gardens as well as the beach.... absolutely everything is stunning! I took over 300 photos of the grounds, and do not want to delete any. Attention to art and detail is everywhere. Next, customer service was also perfect: from the moment we walked in (and even before as they actually pay attention to nice to have requests at the time of reservation) everybody actually cared about our wellbeing. As an example, our flight was canceled because of a volcano, and hotel manager stayed late at night to make sure we could get a boat to Bali, and booked all taxi for us. Thank you to the full team, I hope we will come back. I will definitely recommend your hotel to friends and family."

Supanniga Eating Room: "Best Authentic Thai Food – new Fav place in Bangkok!"

Review by: Juni1984 | Source: Trip Advisor
Visited the Sathorn branch which is just a 7 mins walk away from Chong Nansi BTS station. Important note to book in advance for a place as it got packed pretty quickly, even had a table of ladies celebrating hen's night there. You can easily make a booking through their website. The food there is exceptional!! The ambience is nice with music and soft lighting. Portions are good for 2 pax and we were able to order a variety of dishes to share. They had the deep fried siakap fish with yummy garlic soy sauce and the pork in yellow curry was super yummy. For dessert, you must try the thai tea-flavoured panna cotta, which is literally melt in your mouth concentrated thai tea with smooth texture! Will definitely come back again!

Tugu Bali: "A hidden gem"

Review by: idqgt | Source: Trip Advisor
"ugu was the perfect choice to accommodate all ages & tastes of our family, with 3 teenage surfers: within a lively environment & in front of a fantastic wave. A little heaven close enough from the lively night spots. We loved our suites, we loved the swimming pool, we loved the quiet atmosphere and charming staff. I loved the massages. The Japanese restaurant was a hit, set in a fantastic decor. Time is suspended in Tugu, for a truly exceptional holiday."

Tugu Bali: "Special Place"

Review by: carolterry2016 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We recently enjoyed an exceptional stay at the Tugu Bali with our family. Every element of our stay was outstanding starting with the most friendly staff. Always with a smile, going beyond to ensure our total satisfaction and understanding of this unique cultural hotel. We highly recommend the Tugu Bali, a very special place to stay ! "

Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful and relaxing introduction to Vietnam"

Review by: Madeline B | Source: Trip Advisor
Shuttle water taxis allowed easy entry into the city and a quick escape at the end of the day. Tours to chi chi tunnels and Mekong delta pick you up at their river jetty and make for a beautiful way to experience the beauty of Ho Chi Minh. The facilities at the hotel were top notch and unobtrusive. The hotel's exceptional service was appreciated and staff were friendly and efficient. it is definitely the hotel to go to if you are starting your trip or ending it. Spoil yourself and give yourself at least 3-5 nights here so you can soak up the pleasures of riverside living in Ho Chi Minh City.
