MAISONS WAT KOR: "Great stay in a wonderful setting"

Review by: MJanssen1 | Source: tripadvison.com
"What a beautiful resort. We had the pleasure of staying here over Khmer New Year and had a wonderful time. The room is very spacious and overlooks the lotus pond. The pool is quite big, considering the size of the resort. The location is about 2km from the city center. As it was Khmer New Year most of the establishment in the center were closed, so we had lunch and dinner at the resort. The daily changing 3-course lunch and 4-course dinner are definitely recommended! The staff is very attentive and friendly and overall I would recommend everyone to stay here when travelling to Battambang. "

Jings Residence: "Traditional but modern small hotel"

Review by: DSJ2012 | Source: tripadvisor.com
Lovely Pingyao now lies on the high speed train line (300kph) linking Beijing and Xian, and so is very easy to visit by very comfortable trains. We had seen other excellent reviews of Jings Residence and were not disappointed. It is situated in the 'pedestrian area' with access with your luggage almost to the door using electric vehicles from just outside the city walls. The last few metres luggage needs to be wheeled. Reception and the restaurant area are just inside the entrance and then you enter a series of open courtyards off which the ground floor rooms are located. Some of the furniture shows a few signs of wear, but the rooms are still lovely - in ours the bed was the biggest we have ever slept in and stretched wall to wall. As others have said the staff were really nice and helpful. The food here was of a good standard. Knowing of my recent birthday, we returned one night to find a slice of chocolate cake and a good wishes card. They had also scattered rose petals on the bed. On our departure we were given some Puer tea and good luck emblems and this just added to a really memorable and enjoyable two night stay in Pingyao.

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Wonderful family holiday"

Review by: CapeGooseberry | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed here for 11 days with 2 small children in April 2017 and were the last to leave before they closed for monsoon season. We were really worried about the weather at this time of year but it was beautiful and couldnt have been more perfect. This is a very private, unspoilt place to enjoy a family holiday. The food was fantastic, and a really good effort was made by the kitchen to keep the menu varied throughout our stay. The little pizza bar run by Gai down at the beach was great too. Massi and the team were outstanding, we really felt like we were in our own private island paradise. We stayed in Metha, which was wonderful.

Rachamankha: "Fabulous architecture and ambiance"

This is a great place to stay within the walls of the old town. Superb staff and friendly throughout. Our room was generous and wonderfully decorated. Poolside was relaxing and both breakfasts and dinner were great experiences. Highly recommend.

The River Resort: "Lovely in Every Way"

Review by: bmkutok | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent three nights at The River Resort. The resort is 1st. class in a very remote location built along side the Mekong River. The grounds of the property are mostly rice patties. When we were there, the rice plants were about one foot high and a lovely green. The other plants and trees are indigenous. Gardeners work daily keeping the property in pristine condition. Our room had a wall of windows looking out over the Mekong River as well as a patio.. The large room was broken into four sections: bedroom, dressing area, WC and shower. The shower was spacious and had a door that lead to an outdoor shower (Very Nice). The room was very nice and functional. The food service consisted of a large open area dining room with a thatched room for protection from the elements. There were no walls, and the space was cooled only by large ceiling fans. Lunch and dinner utilized the same Asian and Western cuisine menu. Breakfast consisted of a small buffet and hot food cooked-to-order in the kitchen. We enjoyed the cuisine very much. The service was ,friendly and professional. They did their best to accommodate any requests. There are numerous activities that can be scheduled at the resort. However, since we were on a private tour, our guide and activities were all arranged. The River Resort is truly exceptional, especially in Laos. It is a place to truly get away from it all and discover more about the people and places of this remote corner of the world"

MesaStila: "Leisure"

Review by: Venny G | Source: Trip Advisor
Was my second time to visited this Mesastila. They have great view and great staff! They have 22 hectare land. 11 hectare is for coffee plantation, and the rest is for villas. They have 22 rooms. The price for villas is quite expensive but I think it's valuable including coffee plantation tour.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Excellent food"

Review by: ESWeaver | Source: Trip Advisor
We sat comfortably upstairs and enjoyed a gorgeous, colorful, authentic Thai meal. Traditional cooking and attentive service. This is not fast/ street food... It's the real thing!

Mie Cafe: "Very nice"

Review by: Aundrea D | Source: Trip Advisor
Went here for a dinner and it was very nice price and customer service with so many smiles you could not help smiling yourself. Very easy to get to.

The Island Lodge: "Another blissful stay with attention to details"

Review by: Arnaud R | Source: Trip Advisor
Resident of nearby Saigon, we came back to island lodge one year after our first discovery. Staff is still ever smiling and full of little attentions. Menu offers variety and treats. Bike tour dropped from the boat offers the best point of view on rural Mekong delta (we took the longer Fish farm tour this time after the Cocoa tour last year). And great addition to have this year a full 9km jogging loop in the village pathways on the island. All in all a great stay just 2h drive from Saigon.
