Villa Song Saigon: "Good quality hotel"
"We stayed two nights at this hotel during our transit to Hong Kong. When we arrived at the hotel,they made us feel a warm welcome with a manager named Kevin from Luxembourg. There is a FREE minibar and a nice shuttle boat to the Centre of the city. Plus the wonderful food at the hotel alone with a nice size swimming pool and gym. We really enjoy our stay!"Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A cracking place. True hidden gem"
"No point in rebooting all of the positives from previous reviews. Hard to fault this place. The food is simply superb. The staff are friendly and thoughtful. The pool is beautiful with wonderful ocean views. Rooms clean and comfortable. If you like swimming in the sea, this is not the place for you. If swimming in the sea is not your thing, then you must come here. A great team will welcome you with open arms. Location is a little off the beaten track, but it is very possible that you won't want to leave. Thanks to Poi, Faith and Helen and the team for looking after us and our two little girls for the week. It will live in the memory for sure and we will be recommending to friends for sure."Tugu Bali: "Beautiful property"
"My wife and I stayed in four different Bali hotels, and this was our favorite. It all starts with the staff. They are all so helpful and go out of their way to get you anything you need. The rooms were large, clean, provided any toiletries you may need. Fruit basket and water bottles were refilled daily. Good strong wi-fi in the rooms and all over the large property. Room was air conditioned, which was important to us. Also, it was convenient that there were no major issues with bugs or mosquitoes. It seems like the hospital sprays weekly to keep them away. The pool area is very serene. They also have some lounge chairs on an elevated area overlooking the beach. Even though the hotel is right next to the beach, it does not provide any chairs right on the sand of the beach. It has a very tight path from the lounge chairs to the beach, but that path could definitely be upgraded. Location is fantastic as it is within walking distance of numerous restaurants, cafes, shopping, and beach side bars."Tugu Bali: "Great place to stay"
"Tugu is comfortable, staff pay a lot of attention to your every need, very baby friendly. Breakfasts were great. Pool was a great respite from the heat (especially as the beach is more of a surfer's paradise). The rooms are very well designed with attention to detail. Every corner has a little, fascinating curio to be discovered. The sound of the beach in the distance is very calming. however, there are a few bars/clubs on the street behind which might have some loud music thumping into the night - you may or may not be perturbed by this. Great bars and restaurants near by and a few metres away from the beach. We'll definitely consider the Tugu for our next stay. Room Tip: all rooms have their own charm"Manukan Island Resort: "Wunderbar"
"Die Übernachtungen in der Hill Villa 12 waren wunderbar. Sehr gepflegte luxuriöse Appartments. Großzügige Raumgestaltung, wunderbare Aussicht, Top Personal!!!! Terrasse, Patio und Balkon mit Meerblick über Palmen und den sehr gepflegten Privatstrand. Das Personal erfüllt das Begehr des Kunden noch bevor der Kunde das Begehr begehrt:-) Jederzeit gerne wieder! Ein Traum!!"Misool: "Snorkellers’ Paradise!"
We spent 9 days at MER and loved it! The Water Cottage was fantastic. Snorkellers are looked after very well with Novi and Nelson guiding and Tahir driving, making sure we saw everything we could. The entire team made our experience unforgettable. Thanks to Sue and Mark, & Sabine for making everything run so smoothly.Maison Polanka: "Amazing!!!"
My husband and I recently stayed at Maison Polanka for our honeymoon. From he moment we arrived we were blown away! The staff was unbelievable! They we were warm and welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The hotel property is beautiful and the room was very clean and cozy. Breakfast was delicious! We also had dinner at the hotel a few nights and the food was superb! We were sad to leave this special place and can't wait to return.4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A Perfect Romantic Getaway"
"We travelled overseas for the first time and we are anxious and excited of what we're going to see. We visited Siem Reap first and then the amazing 4Rivers Floating Lodge. It was a genius idea on how it was built and Anna's dedication in preserving the river and the surroundings of Tatai is just magnificent! A perfect destination for couples. Lovely view of nature, high-class accommodation, an efficient booking system, and the warmth and hospitality is very much felt and experienced. I have to give a special shout out to the kitchen staff because I could not even find the right word to describe how delicious their food is! Beef Loklak is extraordinarily tasty, and even the simple fried rice is sumptuous! How can you not enjoy your vacation when your tummy is happy? Just as expected, 4Rivers is beautiful and would definitely come back and recommend it to our friends. "The Village House: "A little taste of paradise"
"Changed my mind at the last minute and booked the village house rather than a hotel in the city. The best decision I have made in ages. Arranged a shuttle service from the airport as arrived in the evening and had no idea where I was going. After about a 40 minute drive turned off along an unlit track and thought 'where are we going, what have I booked?'... To cut a long story short, it is beautiful! The grounds, the hotel itself, bedrooms, the pool etc all exceeded my expectations a long way; especially for the money we paid. All the staff go out of their way from start to finish to make sure you are not only happy, but comfortable, feel secure, well rested, fed well and completely pampered! (...) Every member of staff we met were fabulous. We honestly felt like we made friends with all of them. They all took the time to chat with us, talk about the history of the village house and the Santubong mountains that you can see from the gardens.Any questions we had were answered. Any request we had were met. What more could you ask for? The only recommendation I have is put the staff 'tip' box by the bar. We wanted to give the staff some money and explained this to the manager. The box is in his office."Samanea Beach Resort: "Relaxing"
"Pros: - Spacious, traditional-style villas with large bathrooms complete with outdoor showers and hot tubs - Very peaceful, lush landscaped grounds with stunning views over the Bay of Thailand and Bokor Mountain - Extremely friendly, helpful and attentive staff - Sea View restaurant menu is focused but of great quality, and the unlimited a la carte breakfast is a delightful start to the day - Lounges and huts overlooking the pool & sea are quiet and comfortable Cons - The private beach is man-made and the sea water is very shallow and not suitable for swimming - Our Junior Suite Villa front doors didn’t completely close shut Considerations: - The resort is located between a mangrove which can heighten the alert for mosquitoes - The centre of Kep is a 5 minute tuk tuk ride away Bottom Line: The Samanea Beach Resort makes for a very pleasant stay in Kep and is a great choice for its views, excellent staff and reasonable room rates for the area"
