Sea Dance Resort: "A beautiful retreat – I want to go back!"

Review by: Annifuse | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent 6 nights at Sea Dance and I honestly could have stayed longer. We had a warm welcome and our deluxe bungalow was spotlessly clean and a good size. We had a quirky bathroom which was attached to the outside of the bungalow which we loved and again spotless. The staff were so welcoming and were all great to have a chat to. It was my birthday and they surprised me with a special breakfast and flowers in my room, its a touch like that you won't find in a bigger resort. The food was exceptional, buffet breakfast and plenty of choices for the evening. We enjoyed the beach too it was very peaceful. You can hire scooters near by to get around. The hotel also has live music, cocktail nights and buffets which were really nice too.

Rachamankha: "Well design secret hotel"

Review by: beico | Source: Trip Advisor
Very good place to relaxing. Nice swimming pool, kindness staff, and well design environment. Full of ancient boutiques furniture in the hotel. A nice place to make you feel peaceful. Superior room is small/simple. Although the electronic device in the room is old, I will still recommend this hotel, because of it's really beautiful.

Rachamankha: "A beautiful & well-situated hotel"

Review by: Ann M | Source: tripadvisor.com
This is a very lovely boutique hotel & we had a lovely stay there. Lovely room, beautifully furnished in old antique furniture with an ambiance of old Chiang Mai yet all modern conveniences. Great location in the old city, a short walk to all attractions there & a short tuk=tuk ride to some great restaurants. Food in hotel was excellent. Lovely swimming pool, friendly staff.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Beautiful resort, lovely staff."

Review by: SLP2206 | Source: Trip Advisor
Upon arrival really all we could do was say "wow". Samanea Resort is utterly beautiful, it is like being invited into someone's personal retreat. The resort is made up of bungalows dotted amongst lovely gardens, there is a lovely pool area and a small (man-made, not that it made any difference) beach, and a long pier going out over the sea. The restaurant/bar is lovely, with tall doors thrown wide to the views. The menu is fairly restrictive but we ate there several times and everything was perfectly presented and totally delicious. The staff are attentive without being overwhelming (for 2 days we were the only guests!) and very friendly. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean, the bathroom with the outside shower/bath area was very nice, my son and his wife absolutely loved it. It was a bit pricier than some other options we could have chosen but we all really enjoyed our stay. Located a 10 min tuk-tuk ride from the centre of Kep, but the hotel staff rang tuk-tuk's for us whenever was needed one, and the price was fixed at a reasonable rate. Due to the bungalows being within a garden setting we did find that there were quite a few bugs and creepy crawlies made their way inside, but nets over the beds and cans of spray were provided. All in all, it is a very beautiful place to stay, wonderfully peaceful and relaxing while you are there, and not too far from town if you want to go out.

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Something to remember at Noel’s Leopard Safari"

Review by: desilva | Source: tripadvisor.com
"My wife & I with two friends stayed at Noel's leopard safaris for one night. Did a safari & saw leopard (quite healthy & large) at about 6.30 pm on 13 August '15. This camp is beautiful, unusual and yet very comfortable (our honeymoon room was 5 star) and has a ""wow"" factor you don't find in many places. Very friendly staff, with superb service, also they serve some sumptuous meals (with local produce) with lovely wines and other spirits. We highly recommend this camp to anyone who loves wild life and appreciate efficient service. Thank you Noel, hope to see you again. Sharmaine & Roshan (Sydney,Australia) "

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Wonderful experience"

Review by: 63Jack | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed here for two nights at the end of a hectic 3 week tour. The charm of the old buildings is apparent as soon as you arrive. Courteous staff ensure you settle into your accommodation [ in our case a bungalow in the grounds ]. The food is excellent and we managed to go on two accompanied walks which were great. The walk to the river was down hill all the way. On arrival, out of nowhere it seemed, a barbeque lunch with cold beer appeared ! Thankfully a 4x4 took us back up the hill to Glenburn.

Sea Dance Resort: "Peaceful paradise"

Review by: Janine F | Source: Trip Advisor
Our cottage with pool looked out over the sea, yet remained private. The resort pool was welcoming -how nice to have a poolside cocktail. Breakfast was a feast of fruit, patries & omlette of your choice plus endless coffee. The highlight of our stay was the seafood BBQ on the beach, with live music, under the full moon. Perfect. By the end of our week we had tasted everything on the Thai food menu & it was sooo good. Sure the beach is rocky, but still accessible to use the kayak & paddle board. The quiet location, food & hospitality make Seadance the perfect holiday spot for all.

The Cabochon Hotel: "A beautiful hotel with so many lovely features"

Review by: Phoebe T | Source: Trip Advisor
We were welcomed before we even entered the hotel, with a concierge helping us take our suitcases out of the taxi. We were then escorted to the library and given coconuts to help us cool down. The thoughtful details didn't end there, and our stay was wonderful. We were in a great part of town and given lots of advice about getting around on the skytrain. The rooftop pool was a welcome way to cool down at the end of each day. Highly recommended!

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Excellent experience"

Review by: Caribbean111 | Source: Trip Advisor
Excellent experience. Different from the typical hotel. Small and cozy. The hotel manager is on top of things. Total recommended place. Also take the morning to walk through the rice fields just outside the place.
