Le Passe-Temps: "A cosy place to relax away from the crowds"
This small hotel is set on a quiet beach overlooking Ao Phang Nga bay, Beer and the staff are wonderfully attentive, and do everything to make your stay perfect. The sitting room / reception is beautiful, with a resident barman in the evenings. The rooms are well furnished, cosy and the hotel is ideal spot to relax after exploring the canyons of the Ao Phang Nga magrove forest - one of the most magical experiences I have ever had or taking a slightly less serene boat trip around the islands. The only shame about exploring the bay itself is that it is often populated by large crowds of lifejacket wearing tourists bobbing about in the water at every spot with a nice beach. The hotel's own beach is deserted as you can only swim for a couple of hours at high tide, so creating a glorious Robinson Crusoe feeling in such a busy area. The hotel is simple, but everything you need is well done. To be recommendedSea Dance Resort: "Lovely quiet place"
We stayed 4 nights in the sea dance and enjoyed every single day. It's a very charming resort with private pool and wonderful food. The team is amazing and make you stay memorable. Don't miss it, it's a great place to stay and you will love the staff.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Beautiful & Relaxing"
My new Wife and I visited Neeleshwar Hermitage on one of the last legs of our honeymoon (November 2014). After a hectic few weeks our stay here was much needed! On arrival we were greeted by such friendly staff who throughout our stay were always very helpful and saw to our every need. I honestly can't fault the service. The whole resort is very beautiful and tranquil and the accommodation was amazing. We absolutely loved the bathroom! :D The restaurant was wonderful and so was the food! We really loved our time there and would certainly stay there again. To top it off they send me a birthday card every year. I received the latest one in the post today! Thank you to all at Neeleshwar Hermitage for making our stay and our honeymoon perfect. Chris & Lori.The Twelve Hotel: "Excellent"

"Went here for my honeymoon and stayed for 2 nights. Really wonderful place and one of its kind experience.. luxury and comfort with the advenutre of being right in the woods! Go here only if you love to stay away from the noise of a city. The staff was also really wonderful and took really good care of us! Thank you guys..! The only issue i had was no air condition in the tents and its very humid there so had to move to a different room which had air condition!"4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Absolutely stunning!"
"I have heard about 4Rivers for a long time before finally visiting in for the first time about 4 years ago. I was there again last week and realized how much I missed it. After a short boat drive from Road48 surrounded by lush jungle, a feel of Apocalypse Now, and a bend on the river, there… you discover 4Rivers! These white tents floating in the middle of this majestic hilly evergreen jungle, 4Rivers is like a haven of comfort and beauty in the middle of Tarzan’s home place! Koh Kong Province is definitely a must! Out of the beaten track but with the access becoming easier every year, if you were ever hesitating going this way, don’t!"Manda De Laos: "Amazing"
The food was ridiculously good, the setting is beautiful and the staff is great! Bit expensive as we were trying to budget but definitely recommend for a special evening!Tugu Bali: "One of the best"
Beautiful gardens, luxurious accommodation, out of this world lobby featuring antiques and art collection. However, the best of this hotel is the service. I unfortunately became seriously ill from a previous dining experience at another hotel whilst in Bali. Jenny the Manager (and her amazing staff) went above and beyond to assist my husband and I. Jenny personally escorted us to an international hospital where I needed to stay. Jenny and her staff ensured my husband was ok in my absence and provided daily transport to the hospital and assisted with organising my travel insurance. Jenny...I cant thank you and your team enough. You should be so proud of your beautiful hotel but also of your amazing team. I cant wait to come back and actually eat some of the food (my husband said the Nasi Goreng was the best he ate in Bali!). Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.Inle Princess Resort: "Heavenly Spot"
This is a spectacular property. From the moment you approach this resort by boat, you feel tranquil and welcomed! To protect the peaceful nature of the resort, it is required that the long boats shut off their motors. You are paddled to the reception dock by a local paddling with his legs. The property is well laid out, with cabins spread out along the property. Some of them are lake view, others are pond view. The cabins are comfortable, with teak woodwork everywhere. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are spacious and clean, with an outdoor (enclosed) shower to boot. The service is attentive. Overall, this is a relaxing, enjoyable property that strives to fit in with the local culture. The only downside was spooty internet access, but this is a minor detail which is easily overlooked. Highly recommended.
