Manukan Island Resort: "Dive & Stay Package"

We stayed at this resort as part of our Scuba Diving + Stay package. We really love the island and also our Villa! Our villa is on the second floor with a nice beach view. Room is spacious with complete amenities. We don't mind the weak internet connection as we connected with nature more! We also love the local foods offered in their restaurants. As for their staff, they are accommodating and prompt on addressing our requests.

Villa Song Saigon: "very satisfied customer"

This is a great place to stay if you like being treated like royalty. The staff is all fabulous, the room was very comfortable, and the food and drinks were exceptional. The chef came out to greet us personally and discuss meal options. Convenient boat shuttle to downtown Ho Chi Minh City.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Lovely place"

"I stayed here for 3 nights with my two girls aged 3 and 5 and husband in one of the tents. Even though we had young children I didn't feel that anyone minded as it is/feels like a quiet retreat. Sublime surroundings made my stay feel like a real treat. The owners were staying on site when we were there and did introduce themselves which was nice. The tents are bug proof if you keep it all closed up and having a glass door made it feel very room like. At night you go to sleep listening to frogs and crickets... very romantic. You need some strong Deet thou ! We had a meal or two here and a couple in town, the transfer is around 15 mins through beautiful rice fields and over a couple of ravines. We had a free massage as we booked directly with the website, I paid in advance for the tent via the website. Lovely people, very nice manager. Thank you Sandat for a memorable stay."

Tugu Bali: "Came for the dancing, stayed for dinner"

We had a great time here. We saw the sign when passing looking for an ATM earlier in the day advertising the traditional dancing so decided to come back for dinner. Booking is essential! We got the last table. The dancing was great but the food was the best I’ve had in the week I’ve been here so far. Sure it’s a little pricey by Bali standards but I promise it is worth it! We would definitely come back.

Chakrabongse Villas: "A small green exotic oasis of calm, beauty and exclusivity"

"Chakrabongse Villas is very different to your everyday boutique hotel. I have been a guest at Chakrabongse for 12 years on at least 40 occasions. Here your privacy is respected and preserved and you do not have to deal with the typical petty tourists that you find in all the large hotels. You will hardly ever see another guest since they all have their own villa and outside area. Strangers are not permitted to enter the grounds and wander around. The staff are invisible until you need or want them. The outside world of hustle and bustle stops at the gate and you enter a small green exotic oasis of calm, beauty and exclusivity. Room Tip: Every villa is beautifully themed and decorated with art and antiques."

Manda De Laos: "My best dining experience for 2017"

"Seated outside next to the lotus ponds with the floodlit garden is an experience in itself. Next there is the cheerful service & attention to detail & you have added to that experience before you even consider the fabulous food. Simple things such as a fire bucket beside the table on a cold night, the small, heated dish to keep your Laos sausage entre warm & assistance with any request also made it special. I will not describe the great food we had but I thought the rice pudding with condiments was an imaginative twist on an otherwise somewhat bland pudding -- you add any or all of the 6 condiments to come up with the desert that suits you. It all added up to an exceptional night out."

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Outstanding"

We stayed here for the first 3 nights of our holiday and was perfect after a long flight. The hotel,is surrounded by wall to wall rice fields and is so tranquil that you cannot fail to feel at peace with yourself and the world! Our room was beautiful and we would fall asleep each night to the sound of frogs and crickets. Whilst there we did a trek to a local village and stopped off for a swim at some waterfalls. Our guide Arca was superb, very knowledgeable and you could tell that he actually enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the local area. There is a small pool are which is lovely for relaxing bybwhilst taking in the beauty of the surroundings. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and go out of their way to help. Whilst we were there my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Our travel agents unbeknown to us had informed the hotel of this fact and after dinner that evening we were presented with a cake to celebrate our anniversary. This Inthought was a really nice touch and totally unexpected. If you want to stay somewhere and be totally unhurried with lovely people with stunning panoramic views then this is the place for you.

tugu lombok: "Wonderful stay at Lombok"

"Amazing hotel... Quiet, marvelous decor, beach access, good selection of food & amazing staff - all very attentive to your needs. We had a very particular bathroom but all so nice. One memorable stay at Hotel Tugu! And very happy we included it with our Bali trip. "

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Ubiquity and Tranquility"

"For the activity lovers, the nature protectors, and paradise chasers. Not even the rain could dampen the sheer beauty of 4 Rivers. Bungalows, floating on a river enveloped with mangroves. Tranquility. Ubiquity. Pure bliss. My boyfriend and I stayed at 4 Rivers for two nights and two day. Had we had the time we would have stayed longer. From the get go we experienced nothing but kindness. Attentive to our every need, it is the staff who truly shapes your experience, and it is the nature which caters to your mind, body and soul. Both are the icing on this layered cake of pure bliss. We will return, now that we have lived and breathed in the rainy season, we would love to compare to the dry. Both, we know will be incomparable. But still, we wish to have an excuse to return. To feel warm and rested is a blessing. 4 rivers is like no where else. If not for a guarantee of ubiquity. 4 rivers guarantees tranquility."

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "A secret oasis in the middle of a bustling city – a gem"

"An exquisite traditional house (hanok) set on a side street off Bukchonro road in the center of the Bukchon neighborhood. Set around a quiet courtyard, there are four beautiful rooms – each different. We had the smallest room, but with it came a dark wood porch jutting out into the courtyard and it was here where we had delicious breakfasts (one morning: mackerel, kimchee, pickles, a delicious seaweed rice porridge and barley tea.) You can also arrange to have a Korean dinner – we had a delicious one of Galbi, lots of small dishes (panchan) and chapchae. To unwind even more there is a small sauna tucked into the hanok – woven mats on the floor and patterns of cherry blossom trees, an excellent way to relax after a long day of exploring. To top it off the host is incredibly sweet, friendly and helpful. Mr. Kim provided with all sorts of ideas and recommendations as we planned our adventures. A true hidden gem in a great bustling and modern city. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"
