Villa Song Saigon: "Top class"
"We recently stayed at the Villa Song for the first leg of our honeymoon in beautiful Vietnam. After a choice of two rooms, we opted for a suite with balcony overlooking the river at the front of the hotel - what a fab choice! The hotel oozes charm and elegance with stunning French colonial decor and a relaxing pool area away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Food and service is exceptional with a particular thanks to the front of house team and Freddie the restaurant manager who made us feel very welcome. This really is a gem of a hotel..we hope to return again one day."Sandat Glamping Tents: "Honeymoon"
"Resort immerso nelle risaie, semplice ma raffinato e accogliete. Il personale tutto indonesiano è gentilissimo e ben preparato sul tipo di soggiorno e con l'inglese. La camera/capanna è confortevolissima, e dotata di aria condizionata e piccolo balconcino (nel nostro caso poiché eravamo nelle lombok a due piani). Abbiamo cenato tutte le 4 sere in cui ci siamo fermati a Bali, il menù fisso prevede piatti italiani, indonesiani e internazionali (hamburger), in oltre propongono dei piatti del giorno tipici. Il tutto è molto curato nell'impiattamento ma soprattutto molto buono! I prezzi sono moderati e adeguati al posto in cui si soggiorna. Esperienza davvero positiva"Sanak Retreat Bali: "In the rice fields, whit the head in the stars!"
"all around there is the smell of clove, the right place where break with the compulsory life of the overactive Seminyak..... you don't need to move, just look around and breath the peaceful sense of time passing. The lovely wooden bungalow are conformable and far away each other to grantee privacy and good rest. the food is excellent and the price definitely correct for the quality deserve. after 15 years coming in Bali for vacations is nice to be surprise..again ! Room Tip: better far from the restaurant aerea...."Villa Song: "Colonial Mansion on the Saigon River"
Just by walking into this hotel, you immediately pick up the atmosphere and know that this is going to be a great experience - and so it proved. All the staff are super efficient and welcoming. Set in a quiet area of HCMC away from the madness and traffic of the city. The hotel speedboat is an interesting and quick way to travel to/from the centre. Breakfast taken at a table overlooking the Saigon River is a great experience. The food quality is excellent. Well done to all at Villa Song!4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Heavenly Honeymoon in undiscovered Cambodia"
"My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in January 2016. We were supposed to stay for 3 but we loved 4 Rivers so much we managed to secure another night - thanks to the wonderful Luz & Adonis. To get to 4 Rivers you travel down the river Tatai - a magical, unspoilt river in a remote and protected part of Cambodia. It is absolutely worth the drive from Phnom Penh! The surroundings are magnificent. 4 Rivers is the perfect destination for couples - we arrived and immediately jumped off our private jetty into the beautiful fresh water river. What's more there's no phone signal or wifi so you properly switch off and today there is no greater holiday gift than time away from your smartphone. Did I mention Luz and Adonis and all of the staff were incredible? They looked after us so well and the food was excellent and the wine selection just right. We loved the firefly trip, the sunset cruise and the waterfall and canoeing excursion. I can't wait to return and I have recommended 4 Rivers to all of our friends and family. All the best - Gemma & Jack xxx"Supanniga Eating Room: "Omg!!"
"Booked this place for our last meal in Bangkok, had a snoop online and reviews looked good. Okay we have eaten everywhere around the world, 2 Michelin Star restaurants etc and this is some of the best food I have ever eaten, seriously out of this world. The Red Crab Curry was to die for, however for me the Sea Bass was 10/10 and I am sat at the airport typing this still smiling, great meal! One for the bucket list when visiting Bangkok Do. Yourself a favour though, order your starters, chill, eat them, have a drink and then order your main, it's worth enjoying this one"Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Do not miss out on this one"
"If you're planning your trip to SL then you MUST include 2 nights at Noel's Leopard Safari! Everything about the trip was fantastic! We had an ongoing joke during our safaris that the guides have called the animals in advance to tell them we were coming. Everytime we said ""It would be cool to see .... (insert animal here)"" they just miraculously appeared! It was quite mental actually. Leopard and jackal and sloth bear and monkeys and elephants and tons of birds and crocodiles and and and! The park is beautiful and the guides Say and Praneeth are so enthusiastic and they know everything about the wildlife and flora. It's really great to be with guides that clearly love what they are doing and have such great respect for our beautiful nature. The camp is luxury camping to say the least. We had the AC tent, hot water, plenty of plug points. They even have good internet connection at the lounge area. Pretty impressive for a camp in the middle of nowhere. Even the bugs were blissfully sparse when we were there. Heads up that this is seasonal off course. The experience was worth every penny!"Mrauk U Princess Resort: "un endroit magnifique"
"Nous sommes arrivés par bateau dans cet hôtel. Les bungalows sont éparpillés dans un environnement luxuriant. Chambre très agréable, décoration chaude. Joli restaurant de très bonne qualité à prix doux. Personnels très gentils et serviables. Anglais très approximatif ! Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"Satri House: "Charming and Excellent"
"I've not had such a great hotel experience in a long time, and considering at the pace i'd been travelling in the past 2 months to UK, Africa and Singapore, the staff at Satri house was a great respite in making me enjoy travelling again. I'm sure the magical town has its own charms too, but this great boutique really made the trip much more magical. The location is very good, although not smacked in the middle of the old town, you can get there by foot easily, with just a 10 minute stroll, or 2 minutes on the hotel's bicycle (traffic in Luang Prabang is so light, you'll fell safe even on the main roads). The building itself is a gorgeous colonial building and it's as if you've stepped back in time when you enter the hotel through the corridor of bamboo tress in the walk way. My room was on the ground floor, and was charmingly appointed in a classical style with four poster bed that staff will drape over with the mosquito net during turn down. The bed was firm and comfortable, and there was a pillow menu available too. In room, there were plenty of bottled mineral water to let you stay hydrated. i also like the lack of a TV in the room so you have no choice but to linger in the amazing lawn or pool side, or explore the town. The bathroom has a nice rain shower and another hand held shower faucet, and is spacious. Everywhere you walk on this property, staffs will smile and ask how your day is. Even the property manager, is constantly seen moving around, chatting and talking to guests. One afternoon, I was walking and saw him form a distance - he immediately ended his call on his cell while i was still 50 meters away and greeted me when I approached. It's this little touched that makes one feel so valued as a guest. When I checked in, the staff was so eager to tell me the sights I should visit and offered to help me plan a day trip to the waterfalls, which I had given up trying to go prior to my arrival as it seemed so far, and had it not been the help and information offered, I'd be so sad to pass the trip to witness the amazing falls. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone as it's a great place to stay in Luang Prabang!"Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Beautiful grounds and great staff"
The grounds are simply beautiful! Incredibly peaceful and lush surroundings with an incomparable staff. It's a pretty small resort, so the staff were incredibly attentive. We had fried frangipani flowers as an appetizer, and loved them so much that they made us more!Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
