MesaStila: "Relaxing Stay"
"MesaStila is a wonderful place to relax. You basically come here to stay and enjoy all the activities and facilities. We loved the pool, the coffee plantation, biking around, having afternoon tea (included), our morning jog and yoga classes. They provided other classes and activities which we did not have a chance to participate in (batik, Javanese dance, TRX, village tour, etc.) Honestly I enjoyed this stay, the rooms were great. We loved our room with the massive turquoise bathtub! The food is pretty good, the coffee is pretty good and the service is excellent. The staff was super polite. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Supanniga Eating Room: "Delcious Authentic Thai Food"
You need to call ahead for a reservation at this small yet wonderful restaurant. They advertise Grandma's secret recipes and they do not disappoint. Great service and very yummy food with those wonderful, distinctive Thai flavors. If you want the real deal, come here.Maisons Wat Kor: "Gorgeous place to relax and have great food"
Gorgeous place, with tastefully decorated traditional Khmer houses around a pond filled with waterlillies. Excellent food, cosy chillout corners and a saltwater pool. The place is run by a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable Cambodian couple. It is a 10 minute tuktuk ride from the town center, or a pleasant walk.VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Beautiful Hotel"
"We had a great stay here. The best bed we have ever had in a hotel.A lovely tranquil place on the river. Very friendly staff, nice rooms and public areas. Excellent breakfast and dinner. In district 2 about 30 mins from the centre of town. Regular free boat service in to town. A perfect place to stay just a little way from a very busy, noisy and bustling city. Would love to go back "Sukoon Houseboat: "Excellent place.."
Sukoon literally meant relaxation...one of d best houseboat in whole dal lake..they make sure u r pampered all along...any request for anything available is ready within minutes...and the staff is always welcoming with a smile...I stayed fr 2 days and me and my family enjoyed it thoroughly...keep up the good job.Heritage Suites: "Awesome Stay"
I had an awesome stay here in Heritage. Very accommodating staff, they're all smiling and helpful. This is the best place to relax and to chill. Very unique, clean and big and classy room. The pool is clean as well. Delicious food and good drinks served while there's a band playing good music. Their boat cruise is super amazing I enjoyed watching the sunset! Will surely recommend to my friends!Reverie Siam: "what an outstanding restaurant in Pai"
"after a relaxed day and a nice sunset at Pai Canyon we went to Reverie Siam to have dinner..... the best choice in the whole area if you like fine dining in an supernatural calm and beautiful surrounding we had 3 cocktails for the beginning soups appetizers 3 main courses desert plus 2 bottles of wine and coffee waiters in a nice dress with a perfect service food and drinks 100% perfect live music with excellent musicians and the full moon in company ;) can´t have more join them for an unforgettable time and special thank s to the team of Reverie Siam"Glenburn Tea Estate: "Amazing Location"
"We stayed in 'the bungalow' which was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable with the added bonus of wonderful scenery. The food and service in our own delightful dining room in front of a roaring log fire was perfect. The only major downside is the TERRIBLE access to Glenburn. I live in the country down an unmade up track and have a 4 X 4 to cope with our own tracks and lanes however, the 10 kilometre track that takes an hour each way (I was highly amused to see another review claiming it takes 30 minutes, this would only be possible if they flew!) to Glenburn is worse than 'challenging', it can only be likened to a steep dried up ancient river bed! My husband and I both suffer with arthritis and this journey very nearly killed us off. Such a pity as otherwise everything else was perfect!"The Island Lodge: "Hard to fault"
"We were only able to stay for one night but the trip was well worthwhile. The service is excellent and it really is as beautiful as the photos suggest. The attention to detail is fabulous and it's this that really sets the Island lodge apart from your average hotel. Peaceful , tranquil and you can just lie by the pool watching the river traffic drift by."Le Calao: "Superb."
We can’t praise this restaurant enough. It has only recently opened and there are a few minor details that need sorting (like no bread and butter plates for the delicious and generous servings of complimentary home made rolls) but the main thing is the food, and that is exquisite. The ambiance puts you immediately in a good mood and the staff are attentive without being over the top. The Lao menu is extensive and is quite difficult to trawl through unless you have a good knowledge of the dishes and how big or small they are. I had pork stew not realising it was more of a soup. My mistake, but delicious just the same. Two nights later we went again and stuck to the Western menu. My wife had a repeat of the French Onion Soup followed by the Mushroom Ravioli. I had the Pumpkin Soup and Roast Pork Knuckle. All dishes were beyond compare and a testament to the Chef’s expertise. A delicious red and white house wine each topped off a beautiful night and at a surprisingly reasonable price of US$70. Remember, the Ravioli is to die for.
