Villa Song Saigon: "Top Boutique Hotel"

Review by: traveleast | Source: Trip Advisor
Our trip to Vietnam concluded with three nights at the Villa Song a delightful French Colonial Villa converted into a five star hotel situated next to the river. Everything about this hotel oozes class and the staff, food and accommodation were excellent. The hotel has its own motor launch which we took advantage of to visit the floating temple, a great experience and not to be missed, add to that the complementary shuttle service to the centre of Saigon, the free mini bar and breakfast availability at any time of the day and really I can't imagine there is a better place to stay if visiting Saigon

Beautiful hotel , Restaraunt and Spa . Old time Elegance situated on the river . Very grand , can't praise enough . Delightful place to sit on the Terrace overlooking the river for a late afternoon cocktail . Bliss . Soft lighting hanging from trees in garden makes for a very romantic setting .

Flower Island: "Gorgeous, stylish resort with a strong personal touch"

Review by: amberthed0g | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed three nights here last week, and had an unforgettable time. I think what sets this apart from some of the top end resorts is the personal touch and the tasteful, considered aesthetic. The cottages and restaurant are set back behind the palm trees so as not to create an imposing man made frontage. The use of natural objects like sea shells, bamboo and palms feels, along with the 'ethnic' decor somehow feels more inspired than the cliched attempts you usually see in these sorts of places. (....)the island does genuinely create a special sort of intimacy and calm. I really can not speak highly enough of this place."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Pretty as the pictures"

Review by: docpainter | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed here two nights rather than the three scheduled because of a change in itinerary. Room was gorgeous, pool and gardens the same. Probably the best breakfast we had throughout our stay in Malaysia (mostly in Borneo). Front desk staff helpful in answering our questions, set up a day long tour with local guide, to visit the specific sights we wanted to see. All around excellent. We just wish we could have stayed the extra night.

Tugu Lombok: "Holidays in Paradise"

Review by: harry50210 | Source: Trip Advisor
Our perfect family holiday started with a hotel airport pick-up which included cold drinks and fresh fruits. We stayed with our four year-old son for five days. At our arrival we were upgraded to an oceanfront villa, which was beyond all our expectation. Staff is very friendly and tries to fulfil all special requests. On our first day restaurant service was a bit slow, but the waiter apologised and suggested to pre-order in the afternoon. This arrangement worked perfectly for the rest of the week. We had the beach BBQ which was so good that we wished it would have never ended! We especially enjoyed the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the place. Absolutely perfect to detach and relax. All in all the closest experience to paradise that we ever had.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "A great restaurant by the Inya Lake. Owner Lucia is a great host and fine dining expert."

Watch the Inya Lake sunset over drinks and fine dining later. Romantic setting with World Class Chef cuisine indoor or outdoor by the lawn & garden.

Manda De Laos: "My favourite address in Luang Prabang"

Review by: Bruno R | Source: Trip Advisor
Very beautiful place, very charming, top atmosphere, with 3 very old lotus pounds Patrimoine Mondial de l'Unesco. Food tasty, staff very professional, fair. We had dinner then lunch there, in both case we appreciate! Most recommended! Book in advance.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "The place to ‘be"

Review by: JPlant2014 | Source: Trip ADvisor
My husband and I have just spent a week at Neeleshwar and had a VERY relaxing time. The accommodation is fab-u-lous (the bathroom being semi-outdoors with tropical planting - thank goodness for the fan as it felt much hotter out there than in our air conditioned room). We had an Ayurvedic massage each day. I could get used to having a daily massage! It was wonderful! Mr Jayan and his staff were very respectful and couldn't do enough for you. Credit must go to the designer of Neeleshwar Hermitage who has landscaped the resort impeccably, with great accommodation and exotic planting. There are lots of resident birds. Breakfast and lunch were taken at their beach cafe, and dinner in the restaurant. The food was fresh and flavoursome. We even had a traditional Keralan meal one evening which was served on a banana leaf and eaten with your hands. There is an infinity pool where you can order drinks and snacks. I loved the trip on the houseboat. If I'm ever lucky enough to return, I would like to spend a night (or two) on it.
