Villa Song Saigon: "Perfection"

"This hotel is wonderful. You may hesitate to stay somewhere a bit outside of the main HCMC hustle and bustle, but once you're here you won't regret the decision. I didn't care much for HCMC, so after a few hours down there, it was nice to escape across the river (like fleeing back to the CT suburbs after an afternoon in NYC). Breakfast is fabulous and served to you riverside - full menu of choices. There are pretty regular boat shuttles into HCMC but if you don't want to wait for one or miss one, a cab ride is like $7 USD (which, if you can afford to stay here...shouldn't really be an issue). Beds are comfortable. Turndown service included yummy pastry - cream puffs, madeleines. Because it's a small hotel, the pool is quiet and never crowded. They also exchange cash at spot! Would return. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

Maison Polanka: "One of our favorite hotels"

"Maison Polanka is heaven: Wonderful location, close to everything but private and secluded. Four rooms nestled in a gorgeous garden with a fantastic pool, delicious restaurant (don't miss the amok fish and chicken skewers), a cute resident bunny, tea time with yummy baked goods, and a spa with really stellar massages. The staff is professional, friendly and helpful. Can't wait to be back!"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion Logo Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "It’s an unforgettable choice I made for my wedding day"

"We booked in the whole mansion for our wedding day in July 2017. It is a pleasant and wonderful heritage building you have ever seen in a small town of Penang. Every corner of the building is a treasure for us and thus we made a decision to have our wedding held in this gorgeous house. There is a few things I must highlight, besides the attraction of the house, the friendliest staff who been working hard to help out whenever we need to the smallest details and care we neglected. Daniel, the manager, reception, wait staff to the housekeeping lady who gave us the warmest welcoming and joy during our stay, we couldn't express how blessed we were to have this brilliant team there to make our wedding a successful one. The mansion been constantly maintaining their facilities, rooms are incredibly huge and comfy, healthy and thoughtful breakfast. We enjoyed so much by just sitting in the lounge or the sofa that lies in the courtyard, every angle is an appreciation to this over 100 year-old architecture. We will definitely go back again and thanks again for such excellent service."

Amata Lanna: "A hidden gem"

"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Amata Lanna whilst touring through Thailand. This is a lovely, small, boutique hotel consisitng of 12 rooms. The style and build is traditional Thai design combined with modern amenities. Our room was only10 metres from the courtyard swimming pool! The hotel is located in a quiet position away from the hustle and bustle but perfect for exploring Chiang Mai with restaurants, the water boats and the Night Market only a short walk away. However, the outstanding attribute is the personal and excellent service, care and attention provided by the staff, especially Yumi the Manager. They made us feel as if we were staying with family from the start to the end."

Supanniga Cruise: "Cool, Calm, Romantic and gret Value"

Sunset in Bangkok seen from the cabin of Supanniga Cruise. Glass of Champagne, great nibbles and excellent company. Unexpected and somewhat unique. An experience to be recommended.

Jing’s Residence: "Stay and be immersed in 1000 years historic China"

WHen I visited Pingyao, I felt like stepping into an Ip Man/Kung Fu Master movie. This hotel amplified that experience as, like most of Pingyao, it is a beautifully restored 1000-year old historic oriental masterpiece. It really felt like one was staying at Ip Man's place itself!...well in addition of the excellent breakfast, modern amenities like WiFi and television, cozy and luxurious lounge. Since this hotel is located at an unassuming street in Pingyao, it is also very quiet. If you can afford it, stay here when visiting Pingyao.

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 !"

Rachamankha: "Absolute delight"

"Unfortunately, memory fails of the date of our visit, which was prior to said date, but not of the enchantment of the hotel which persists. After the taxi ride from the airport through the streets of Chang Mai, we were swept into a land of storybook imagination. The creation of an atmosphere of Asian quiet elegance settled softly around us. My fondest memory, and one I would fervently like to repeat, is having a massage on the open air second floor of the pool pavilion. A gentle breeze kissed the curtains and birds sang while I floated away to another dimension. The restaurant is very good, allowing one to remain within the dream. "

Manda De Laos: "Excellent Lao Food Overlooking Water Lilies"

What a treat to eat a dinner here overlooking the Lily Pond! I got the Luang Prabang pork sausage to start and then the duck with tamarind sauce, both of which are excellent. They had a wide variety of wines and cocktails as well to complement your meal. Definitely worth a stop if you are a foodie in Luang Prabang!

Villa Song Saigon: "Magnificent hotel and fantastic staff"

Villa Song really is an impressive hotel, set in pristine grounds on the banks of the Saigon River in District 2. My family and I had the most divine stay, which coincided with both of my parents' birthdays. In addition to the accommodating staff who were considerate of my family's needs, my parents were treated like royalty and were each presented with a beautiful bunch of flowers and a cake at breakfast. The rooms were fabulous and plush, the free mini bar was a really nice touch. We took the extremely convenient shuttle speed boat to the centre of town along the Saigon River and we also enjoyed an afternoon relaxing by the pool in luxury. Highly recommended place to stay, thank you so much to Ms. Thuy and all the staff for helping to make our stay so memorable.
