4 rivers: "Unique Experience"

Review by: asmark53 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Had a really amazing and unique stay in this floating hotel. The hotel is a 30 minute boat ride from the road and so is very isolated and with only 12 Tents for guests it is very peaceful. A place to slow down and contemplate the quieter life. "

Mathis Retreat: "A disconnected enclave, perfect for unwinding"

Review by: Tahermk | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is a great place to just relax, slow down and unwind. It is secluded property with a stunning rice field view and an infinity pool. The property can be hard to find, as the resort has undergone a brand change and the boards for the new MATHIS are not updated. So best to have your driver call the hotel for directions. The rooms are clean, extremely spacious and we used 3 persons in a room (with an extra bed charge) and it was still very comfortable for us. All amenities are provided as best, and the quality is excellent. The breakfast is very fresh and dinner options are quite good. The menu can be expensive for the style of resort it is - and there are few options immediately outside. But its not far from the bustling marketplace & the resort runs a ferry pickup and drop every hour during the day, which is very helpful. The wifi is very good. The TV has few channels and is very bad reception. The staff are very helpful, but sometimes find it hard to communicate easily. The property manager is very kind and does well to mingle with guests where possible. I would definitely visit again."

Stayed here for 4 times, really had great time. The room was clean, adequate and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly, and informative on places to go. The location was great and easily accessible by all means.

Spend 3 nights at a triple room with 2 adults and 2 children. Very spacious and greatly maintained! It provides very special set-up as the last family house of the last mandarin overseas. Wooden rooms arranged with great detail.

Arumdalu: "Explore Belitung"

Review by: faizal1606 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Beautiful place.. Sangat cocok untuk honeymoon, suasana yang tentram, ditunjang dengan keindahan alam yang sangat luar biasa bagusnya. Sedikit masukan, lebih nyaman jika mau trip ke belitung pakai travel resmi.. seperti Prmi belitung travel, karena mereka lebih transparan dan fleksibel dalam handle customer."

The Island Lodge: "Best way to ‘do the Mekong Delta’"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Member | Source: Trip Advisor
"I cannot praise this hotel enough. Everything about it was high end. The staff were super friendly, very good English, excellent service, attention to detail, food excellent, rooms spacious, great pool, place is spotless, what more can I say. Owned by a French couple Michel and Françoise, they have brought together everything good about French and Vietnamese hospitality. We had originally planned to stay here as part of a separate tour but I would highly recommend transferring privately from Saigon direct to the hotel and organising private tours through the hotel as they have designated tour guides. We did a scooter tour to the next island reached by a very memorable tiny ferry and also a trip to see the floating market at Cai Be. Both our tour guides Thành and Ksai deserve a special mention as both trips were about 4 hours each but a fantastic way to see life in the countryside in the Mekong and they were both really knowledgable and passionate about showing us the best time. The food at the hotel was terrific. Fish tartare, beef carpaccio, goats cheese salad, duck with a great fusion of French and Vietnamese influence, to me a fusion made in heaven. The waitresses were just great with their service and could not do enough for us in terms of service and attention to detail. There were also little things all through the hotel that were great such as home made fruit jams at breakfast. The design is fantastic with a completely open bar restaurant and reception area with piano and a lot of historical pictures and other trinkets around which add to the atmosphere. The group of staff all felt like a big family so congratulations to the hotel for me to say it is the full package for a relaxing break."

Sea Dance Resort: "Amazing"

Review by: peachypou | Source: Trip Advisor
"Very impressive! I had the most amazing stay! I was originally booked in for 2 nights I checked out only to return 2 hours later.. I spent the most idyllic 8 nights at the Seadance, I desperately needed to recharge. The resort is peaceful and calm. Every one knows your name and treats you like a friend not just a hotel guest.. Nothing was too much trouble, any request taken care of! I stay in hotels/resorts at least once a week for business the Sea Dance with its understated elegance out does many! Thank you to Faith, Helen,John and Danny You were all amazing! I very much enjoyed your company. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome, I was so sad to leave. I will be back again soon. Tina"

The Island Lodge: "Beautiful stay in MeKong"

Review by: barbara s | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were picked up in Saigon and driven for about 2 hours to this hotel. It was an amazingly beautiful spot to spend 2 days and relax and explore. Husband had a wonderful massage and the pool and lobby areas were gorgeous. The whole setting is very ""Indochine"" and so well done. The staff was very attentive and tried to help with all we could ask -- The breakfast which was included was delicious and we also had dinner there as there was no where else near by to go easily. We walked around near the hotel--but it is not near any other things that are places to see. We did do their bike/boat tour to Ben Tre which was wonderful. Our guide--from the hotel--was so nice and we took a boat to Ben Tre--then biked all over the island--stopping to see different fruits, ect... and visiting pagodas and locals on the way. Ben Tre is so nice, shaded and easy to navigate with the guide. We loved this place and the owner and staff were very hospitable! Room Tip: we had gorgeous room with balcony overlooking the pool and river"

Tugu Malang: "Visit Malang-Banyuwangi between 2 venues"

Review by: Hely T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Hotel is well located at a big roundabout with a monument in the center. The rooms are very nice decorated, with a nice flower arrangement and fruit platter. The amenities are environment friendly packed by recycled paper. The staff are very friendly from the receptionist till the room attendants. Breakfast is also well served from fresh fruit till home made bread, jam and Indonesian food. On top of all, they serve everyday during teatime complimentary goodies and tea/coffee. They have also a huge collection of antiques that you can walk through or guided tour is also available on request. Will definitely come back to this hotel when visit Malang again"
