Supanniga Eating Room: "Wonderful, informal and authentic Thai restaurant"
"Our business group descended on this lovely little Thai restaurant and made our way to our table on the second floor. Once again I preferred to leave the ordering of the food to my hosts whilst I got down to the drinking - a small but tasty chilled vodka martini. This place is apparently famous for crab dishes and I can certainly vouch for the Gaeng Crab Meat Bai Cha Plu - Surat Thani's colossal crab meat lumps and crab roe in spicy red curry with cha plu leaves. I also enjoyed dishes such as Mieng Yong - dried shreaded pork, peanuts, and sweet roasted coconut wrapped in cha plu leaves, Pu Jah - blended crab meat and pork, seasoned and steamed inside crab shells and Choo Chi Pla Nue Aon - chunky Nue Aon fish meat, deep-fried and dry-sautéed with Thai sweet & spicy curry. For dessert I couldn't resist the sweet, juicy mango and sticky rice. Delicious! Service was incredibly discreet. I hardly noticed it as the staff brought us new delicacies to try. This was a truly lovely experience. You need to try it out!"The Apsara Rive Droite: "Fantasic"
"We had tried Tamarind a few yards along the road but they were fully booked so we walked on and found this place which seemed better. Took a great table on the terrace, plenty of room and overlooking the Mekong, couldn't have bee better! We enjoyed a really fabulous meal, plenty to eat and drink with the most sublime dessert. Two beer Lao, one vodka tonic, Khan Soy, Fried Mushrooms, Fish Cak, Tapioca, green veg for 363,000. Totally awesome with great service. Stayed December 2016, traveled with family"Slow Villas and Spa: "Worth it for the breakfast alone"
On a small island where there is so much choice it's hard to know where to choose. Slow Villas stood out for us because of the individual service and a taste of luxury they promised. The villas are full of everything you need, the outside/inside bathrooms are decorated to a high standard with stunning features and free toiletries. The pools are small but fine for two people to cool off in and the gardens are clean and well cared for. Breakfast was a real highlight which is served in your villa and was wonderfully fresh, colourful and plenty of choice. I also tried the spa which was extremely relaxing and well worth a visit if you have time! I didn't want to leave and hope I'll be back.The Cabochon Hotel: "Hidden gem in busy Sukhumvit"
For a drink, a dinner or to stay few nights. Secluded colonial house very well decorated with a mix of Asian and European antics. Lovely feeling to be out of time in the middle of Sukhumvit. Drinks and food are great.VILLA SONG SAIGON: "The Gem on the riverside"
"I can just agree with other reviewers,this place is lovely ....a quiet haven after hours in the city of HCMC with noise,traffic,and stress. Just relax in the shade by the pool with a nice book,or have a drink by the riverside watching the boats passing. Very confy bed and pillows.Lovely breakfast and lunch. The staff very helpful sorting out some issues with my airline for the returnflight. I have already reserved my next stay at Villa Song. See you in november.Thank you. "Satri House: "Charming and Excellent"
"I've not had such a great hotel experience in a long time, and considering at the pace i'd been travelling in the past 2 months to UK, Africa and Singapore, the staff at Satri house was a great respite in making me enjoy travelling again. I'm sure the magical town has its own charms too, but this great boutique really made the trip much more magical. The location is very good, although not smacked in the middle of the old town, you can get there by foot easily, with just a 10 minute stroll, or 2 minutes on the hotel's bicycle (traffic in Luang Prabang is so light, you'll fell safe even on the main roads). The building itself is a gorgeous colonial building and it's as if you've stepped back in time when you enter the hotel through the corridor of bamboo tress in the walk way. My room was on the ground floor, and was charmingly appointed in a classical style with four poster bed that staff will drape over with the mosquito net during turn down. The bed was firm and comfortable, and there was a pillow menu available too. In room, there were plenty of bottled mineral water to let you stay hydrated. i also like the lack of a TV in the room so you have no choice but to linger in the amazing lawn or pool side, or explore the town. The bathroom has a nice rain shower and another hand held shower faucet, and is spacious. Everywhere you walk on this property, staffs will smile and ask how your day is. Even the property manager, is constantly seen moving around, chatting and talking to guests. One afternoon, I was walking and saw him form a distance - he immediately ended his call on his cell while i was still 50 meters away and greeted me when I approached. It's this little touched that makes one feel so valued as a guest. When I checked in, the staff was so eager to tell me the sights I should visit and offered to help me plan a day trip to the waterfalls, which I had given up trying to go prior to my arrival as it seemed so far, and had it not been the help and information offered, I'd be so sad to pass the trip to witness the amazing falls. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone as it's a great place to stay in Luang Prabang!"Villa Song: "Unbelievably amazing"
"We're on our Honeymoon and just had a two hour spa experience that was simply incredible. It was about $100 for two of us, for the best treatment package we've ever had. Salt scrub, full body massage, then epic multi-phase facial, and we are GLOWING. And totally blown away. Combined with the friendly, super accommodating staff, the lovely room with the gorgeous view, the free water shuttle to downtown, and the lovely grounds, we simply couldn't be happier."RACHAMANKHA: "Quaint hotel"
"Beautiful hotel and room. Loved the design and the property overall. A magical place for sure. Please make the effort to book it if in Chiang Mai. Stayed only one night in a Grand Deluxe room but would have liked to stay for more. "MesaStila: "Beautifull place, people, spa and service"
We stayed here for 4 days This place is really amazing, surrounded by beautifull mountains and nature, with A nice spa, Good food and very helpfull and nice people! Visit the borobudur and the coffeeplantation!Villa Mathis: "Best luxury hotel i ever experienced"
