4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Too bad there are no 6 star ratings"
"We stayed at 4 Rivers for a week, and wish we could have stayed for a month. As the boat arrives and the machine is turned off, you look around and you know you are going to spend an incredible time. This place is like no other: not only it has reached perfection in service, style, cleanliness and comfort, but also it allows you to rest and relax while appreciating all the beauties of the region. Yet the most exceptional thing about this resort is the staff. They have been caring, extraordinary helpful from the beginning until the very last moments. We cannot thank you enough for what you've done… but we'll try ;) First, thank you Bona for giving us the warmest greeting, making sure to explain everything, and taking on board with us to the resort (plus, your cocktails are delicious). Then, a big thanks to the tour guides, Vy, Sambo and Naren, you are great people and the funniest guys. Thank you to the restaurant team, Kenneth and E-J, you were adorable and always smiling. Thank you Adonis for your constant good mood, your big smile and your fun personality. Last but not least, thank you Anna for your precious time and for being the most amazing encounter we had in Cambodia. Keep doing what you do for the local children, for the biodiversity and for your team!! We will definitely come back... Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"Reverie Siam: "The best hotel and service in Pai"
Locavore: "Best mark evet"
I tool a friend who lives in Bali here as a thank you for being a guide whiktin Bali. We are both foodies and have eaten meals at some good restaurants, i.e. Ramsay, rhodes, river cafe, boulud, tragebuches, blaue ente, vong, warning, mpw and I can state this was the best meal I have had in years. Save you pennies and go for the full tasting menu with accompanied drinks. Also I recommend lunch as then you can slowly see and recover in the early evening!!!The Island Lodge: "Serenity"
"Recently went here a second time and it pure bliss. The resort is stunning, beautifully designed accompanied by good service and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere. We live in Saigon and we usually travel outside the country when we have any spare time but we make time to come to Island Lodge because it's that's great. We're actually going for our third visit in less than a week. Can't wait. "Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Quaint Sojourn"
"I visited this hidden gem along the strip of Arabian Sea with my husband, upon a friend’s recommendation. True to its word, Neeleshwar Hermitage is everything what it claims and beyond! We were marveled at how the property have merged itself into the locality but still takes your breath away. (...) We enjoyed each and every moment spent at Neeleshwar Hermitage. The selection of the songs played in the room is one of the best that I have heard. So are the books in the library. The authentic food served was deliciously prepared. The beach was so clean and pristine that the walk along the coastline was refreshing. If not the beach, one could also spend all their time by the infinity pool. We spent quite a lot of time lounging by the pool, enjoying the beautiful sea beyond. The rooms are spacious and the traditional architecture adds charm to it. The simple yet luxurious room was the icing on the cake for us! We would like to give our special thanks to the wonderful staff of Neeleshwar– each and every one who seamlessly provides the finest service."Sandat Glamping Tents: "Incredible experience"
During the New Year break my boyfriend and I stayed at Sandat Glamping Tents for 2 nights. We currently live in Singapore and although it wasn't our first trip to Bali it was our first visit to Ubud. On arrival we were instantly blown away by what Sandat had to offer. The architecture is just incredible! We stayed in Lumbung Legong and I can honestly say it was the best hotel room I have ever stayed in. There was so much attention to detail and the place was spotlessly clean. Not only is the bedroom spacious and comfortable but you also get a large area downstairs to lounge around in or escape the sun in the afternoons. It is also very private. The bathroom is outside which makes for a wonderful and unique experience. Breakfast was fantastic (and I am very picky!) and we enjoyed a wonderful massage one afternoon by our room. The best thing about the whole experience is that you really feel like you are in paradise. The staff don't disturb you or fuss over you yet they cater for all your needs. It's a small resort therefore you feel extremely well looked after (...) A truly incredible and unique experience. I can't wait to go back in a few weeks!Villa Song: "We would come back"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Song. This is a smaller, boutique type hotel, which was exactly what we wanted. It just felt so much more intimate and personal and yet still had all the amenities you could want. Wonderful well appointed rooms . I’ll admit that we were lucky enough to have a suite, which was simply stunning (thank you Villa Song). But the children’s room was still quite lovely and we would have been happy with that (although we declined to swap with them). We loved the setting - dining down by the river was lovely and you are a short walk / taxi from other great places to eat in the area. Breakfast is a la carte rather than buffet, but there is more than enough choice. We were here towards the end of our trip and frankly we were over wandering around at breakfast buffets. Nice pool and gym. For us, this was exactly what we wanted and a nice change from the larger chains and resorts "Maduzi Hotel: "Amazing Hotel, Amazing Location, so Tranqui"
Amazing location, just moments from transportation/shopping/dining, hotel is so peaceful and tranquil, it really is a respite in the busy, busy city of Bangkok. As soon as you walk in your a little more calm from the beautiful decor. We had a room A5 which has a great city view, but you can keep it nice and really dark with the wall length curtains, so we slept so well. We loved the giant bed, so much room! And of course the amazing breakfast, it really helped us start our day of touring with some great and healthy options that were delicious! The staff is so nice and welcoming, we will stay here again when we are back in Bangkok.Tandjung Sari: "The Tandjung Sari – Beautiful Visit . . . Again!"
I stayed here about 30 years ago. The Tandjung Sari has lost none of its charm. I came back with my wife and we had had such an enjoyable time. Of course everything around the Tandjung Sari has changed, but this place is pretty much as I remember it, which is a good thing. Staff is friendly and professional. The food is excellent. Breakfast near the pool is pleasant. Several choices and it is part of your room rate. The bar on the beach still serves amazing cocktails. The rooms were spacious and I enjoyed the outdoor shower. They have great entertainment on the weekend too. This is not an inexpensive place to stay, but it is well worth a few dollars more! I cannot wait to go back again. Hopefully it will not be another 30 years!The River Resort: "Sérénité, luxe & gentillesse"
Très bel endroit, luxueux et très bien entretenu, magnifique jardin, double piscine, spa, quand on en a assez des guesthouses un peu sommaires, endroit idéal pour s'offrir un moment de luxe. Lits géants et salle de bain extérieure et intérieure. Mékong à perte de vue depuis presque tous les bungalows et quelque oiseaux rares dans les arbres.
