Villa Song Saigon: "Lovely little gem"

We travelled with our family. The hotel is a little oasis in an over crowded city. Its a boutique hotel on the river. It is away from the city and the hustle bustle. The hotel staff is very attentive. There is only one restaurant but the menu is quite vast and everything we tried was really good. The hotel is very good about directing you to nice restaurants in the area if you prefer to eat out.

The Island Lodge: "Perfect….except for the kids"

"From the moment you arrive until you leave you will be delighted with your stay here. The reception is a really nice touch especially with the owners both greeting you and welcoming you to the hotel. The rooms are spotless and the facilities very good. We had a river view double which has a great view of both the pool and the river. By far the highlight has to be the food. It is exceptional and very reasonably priced considering the isolated nature of the hotel. The hotel offers it's own various boat trips on the river for a variety of lengths and budgets and the your guide provided is very good. We had a massage on our last night which was by far the best we had during our holiday in Vietnam. Our only issue was that this sort of tranquil place should be adults only. There were a few kids staying during our stay who were quite annoying. In my opinion it's just not the sort of place where you expect to get hit by a ball from the pool when trying to relax. If children are of the age where all they want to do is play with a ball in the pool I don't understand why a parent would insist on dragging them around the world to do that when Benidorm or Tenerfie would be more suitable. It's not exactly as if they are taking in the local culture. The staff did approach the parents which calmed them down for a bit. I understand it must be difficult to turn away custom but I think the hotel would benefit long term by having a minimum age limit. Regardless, we loved this hotel and the owners and all the staff are great and I would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting South Vietnam and the Mekong Delta."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Gorgeous villas and delicious breakfasts"

"Had a lovely 4 nights stay at Slow Villas and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We arrived early, before check in and were provided with drinking water, beach blankets and a basket so we could head to the beach for a few hours before our villa was ready. The villa it's self was beautifully designed and had everything we could need. The privacy was great, pool was cold, outdoor seating was utilized daily. The bed was comfortable and the outdoor bathroom was amazing. We did not really utilize the kitchen but would be a lovely addition if staying longer and wanted to cook our own meals. The breakfasts provided each morning was so delicious. We had the Australian, Indonesian, and Gili breakfasts and all were so good! The staff were so friendly and attentive to any needs we had, we really can't thank them enough. Great secluded spot on Gili Air. Only con: a bit of a walk (15-20min) to the busier side of the island, but easily doable."

Cuca: "Is worth the drive…excellent Tapas"

"The food and cocktails are excellent ! Totally worth the drive. First we start with the cocktail. They are tasty and pretty to the eyes. The tapas are creative and tasty. We love the Bravas, Black squid ""risotto"". Black squid ""risotto"" is made of finely cut squid instead of rice. It is yummy and it gives a different texture as compared to normal risotto. Bravas - Tempeh with sundried tomato gives a nice taste to the usually blend tempeh. Their garden setting is nice and should the weather permit, it will be nice to dine there. Good service as well !"

Slow Villas and Spa: "Wonderful time"

We stayed more than one week at this amazing place and enjoyed every moment. The privilege to jump inside the pool from bedroom door is just fantastic. It was an unforgettable stay for us and if I could I would come back one day!

Cuca: "Outstanding restaurant"

I took a friend to Cuca on our first night in Bali and we were absolutely wowed by the entire experience, so much so that we returned the following night to try the rest of the menu and double up on a couple of favourites from the previous evening. The ambience and service is top notch but the food is amazing! Hard to describe the mix of flavours, freshness and presentation. Each dish was a photo opportunity and a taste explosion. I can highly recommend a visit.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Outstanding"

"We stayed 3 nights for a family birthday celebration. We were 5 adults. It was a wonderful respite after travelling the rough roads of Sikkim. I agree with the earlier reviews and experiences and won't repeat the wonderful activities available. We did the walk to the river which we really enjoyed. On arrival (after being met with cool refreshing flannels and homemade lemonade) I lay down on a wooden bench by river and within seconds a lovely man appeared with pillow and large cushion for bench. I enjoyed a snooze while lunch on the barbecue. Wonderful care and our needs were met before we realised we had a need. Lovely lovely people. We chose not to dine communally but enjoyed wonderful candlelit family dinners on the terrace of our bungalow, served by a lovely gentle caring man. The drive into Darjeeling is long, bumpy and slow. I would recommend you don't waste a day of your precious time in Glenburn. Rather spend two nights in Darjeeling before or after Glenburn. We would have liked at least another night in Glenburn. It really is worth the journey in."

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Feel like home place"

"We staid for 2 nights at Maisons Wat Kor with our family and friends and everyone loved their stay. Rooms are good size, very tastefully decorated and clean, the garden is really big and relaxing to walk around. There is a connecting room for families with the kids! The kids loved the pool and little bungalow overlooking lotus pond where they could relax and play. The staff were always helpful and organized trips to town if we wished to do so. Though it was nice just to hang around the place. We also had Spa treatments on request. The restaurant is also a lovely place to eat in the evening. We enjoyed local cuisine and had nice evenings together. The breakfast are included and are also very good. Highly recommended for family trips, romantic stay or just relaxing weekend with friends "

Inle Princess Resort: "Wonderful resort"

This place has simply gotten things right. The service is amazing - staff constantly surprised us with their foresight and attention to details we sometimes forgot eg offering bottled water for our bike ride, calling ahead re our flights, farewell gifts, organising and accompanying us on our trips out, closing our window shutters in the evening, offering blankets when it got cold dining outside. It goes without saying that the resort is beautiful with spectacular views of the lake and the furnishings and design are tasteful. Decent selection for breakfast with something new each day. Homemade yoghurt was delicious. Dinner and lunch menus were also different each day - food was all tasty but wholesome and clean. The rooms are huge and comfortable. Only regret is we should have booked a lake view room, well worth the extra dollars!
