4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Serenity at its best!"

Review by: Allan Mitz A | Source: tripadvisor.com
I stayed at 4 Rivers for 3D/2N and it was really an extraordinary experience! Going to 4 Rivers was a long drive yet it was worth it! During our night time check in, my partner and I were able to see the adorable fireflies! They are so plenty that they look like Christmas lights! They are stunning and shines like a star. Though it is raining during my stay, it was a wonderful time to relax and leave the stress and get refreshed with the outstanding view of mountains and trees plus the friendly staff and Adonis who’s very attentive with our needs. I also want to give cheers to the Chef for the most unforgettable Crème Caramel I tasted during dinner! How I wish I could eat and bring home the whole piece! It is so delicious that I can’t resist to eat! Memorable experience, soothing ambiance, charming staff and thoughtful managers, appetizing food – perfecto!

Inle Princess Resort: "Relaxing resort with great food"

Review by: AKWin | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed here for 2 nights in February and could have stayed a bit longer to explore the area more. This a lovely resort and the lake villa we had was really comfortable, clean with lovely bathroom and great outside shower. The food was great with lots of local dishes on the menu, using fresh produce. Service was excellent and the position of the restaurant just perfect. We organised a half day tour of the lake through the resort and this was certainly a highlight of our visit. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Sea Dance Resort: "Honeymoon heaven"

Review by: Chr155y | Source: Trip Advisor
"What can I say this place was absolute heaven for the five days we stayed as part of our honeymoon travelling around Thailand. The cottages are beautiful with extreme care and attention to detail from the giant beds with high thread count sheets to two types of blinds, one to offer privacy and one to block the light completely for sleeping. The air conditioning was the best we had, modern unit with no noise at all and they even provide a mosquito racquet, flip flops and beach bag and towels. The bathroom was amazing and completely different to anything we had experienced before as it was semi outdoor and had a tropical feel to it with lots of plants but still high spec with the fixtures and fittings. The facilities are excellent in general with an infinity pool, pool bar, kayaks to borrow at no charge, excellent WiFi throughout the resort. The staff went above and beyond with their hospitality, learning each guest by name and always ready to help with a smile, Faith and Helen were especially helpful throughout our stay with advice. The breakfast area/ restaurant/ shaded area was fantastic, open air and circular and by the pool it was fab if you wanted to sit and read in the shade and have a break from the pool or just sit and watch the world go by. In the evening it had a fab atmosphere and the food served was outstanding and we ate twice here, my husband saying the soft shell crab yellow curry was the best he had all holiday. They also do a happy hour on a weds where drinks are free! What more could you want?! We also took advantage of the spa and had the most AMAZING traditional Thai massage! The woman didn’t speak much English but she definitely knew how to do a massage! We also did the Thai cooking course that the resort offers, the trip to the local market was fab and the staff so friendly and helpful! My husband found it very helpful but I would say if you’re an adept cook give it a miss, better for families or someone with not much experience (like my husband!) There’s a really handy shop just outside the resort that you can rent a scooter from which we did for 200bhat a day (£5!) and it took a couple of hours to drive around the whole island or they can organise a taxi to the local Fisherman’s village for some nice restaurants and bars and a more lively atmosphere. There is also a 7 eleven at the top of the road. This is only a small resort but perfect if you want an ultimate chilled out, relaxing and personal holiday... we would recommend it a thousand times over! Thanks for an amazing honeymoon!"

The Hue House: "Unforgettable night at The Hue House"

Review by: Chu Nhu L | Source: Trip Advisor
"It was our 1st year anniversary yesterday. My boyfriend booked a table at The Huế House for this special occasion. The restaurant is on the rooftop 10th floor of an office building where we can see Saigon at night time. We came in the afternoon & catched the sunset - very romantic atmosphere which is suitable for us. The food was very delicious. Very nice decor as well. The restaurant owner was very nice to us, when he knew about this special occasion, he prepared us a cake as a gift. Thank you very much. This place is highly recommended "

Review by: maria_fridlund | Source: Trip Advisor
"HCMC is chaotic and after a day in the city it is so nice to come ""home"" to this wonderful place. The shuttleboat is great and so is the food and the poolarea. Perfect for families as well as for couples. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Excellent location"

Review by: Andrew M | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed just one night here to do the early morning market trip. Rather than battle with all the hawkers we booked a boat with the hotel as they offered a private boat to visit the market and noodle factory for just 400VND for the two of us. The hotel is spotlessly clean and has very good service. We had a suite at the front of the hotel but the bedroom was quite isolated with no view which wasn’t a problem. They gave a welcome drink plus a voucher to have drink of your choice in the roof top bar. Breakfast was excellent served at our table on the front roof terrace. Only thing which was lacking was a pool but for a one night stop over it wasn’t a problematic Highly recommend.

David’s Kitchen: "Great Hospitality & Food in a relaxed fun environment"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Mem | Source: Trip Advisor
An absolutely enjoyable experience-just like everyone (nearly 3000 happy customers) who have taken the time to write a review we were very impressed. Well deserved no.1 in Chiang Mai rating - the small things make the difference here, obviously the food is very good but the staff and the training they are given stands out. David was away and the team were still exceptional, we got to personally say thanks to the kitchen staff - nothing was too much trouble and all customers were enjoying their night a this special restaurant. Nice to get a personal email from David the following day to thank us for our visit. Ticks all the box's for us - Well Done DK Team

Review by: encore-un-pseudo | Source: tripadvisor.com
In addition to being a beautiful place, everything is perfect with smile on all faces.The country side is beautiful with a lot of activities for kids and adults and places to visit. Make sure you find time to challenge the landlord on pool billard, she is very good !

Satri House: "Fabulous"

Review by: Steven B | Source: Trip Advisor
"What a super hotel. The moment you arrive you can tell the place has style. The staff are very welcoming (Keo was particularly helpful) and if you book through Mr and Mrs Smith you get a free massage. The spa is great with all treatments reasonably priced. The common areas are decorated very nicely - makes you feel like it's someone's house. The main hotel building is beautiful - it belonged to a Laos prince. The swimming pool and grounds are lovely. The rooms are very spacious and so to is the bathroom - we had a great walk in shower and a separate toilet. The food is delicious - breakfast is lovely and lunch (if you want it) is great and dinner delicious - we ate there every night as so nice. There is also a nice pool bar for cocktails. The location is also very convenient and about 15 minutes from the airport. Highly recommend this place Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"
