Villa Song Saigon: "very satisfied customer"

Review by: 175scottj | Source: Trip Advisor
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.

Mathis Retreat: "Small, peaceful and calming paradise in the ricefields"

Review by: Ajda S | Source: Trip Advisor
My boyfriend and I started our Bali journey in the heart of the island. After a good hour drive we arrived at the Kenanga Boutique Hotel in Ubud and were totally amazed by it only after a few minutes of our stay. Away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud downtown, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the rice fields. A sleep in the traditional-inspired suite made all the anxiety and jetlag disappear, the staff was extremely nice and made us feel very welcome, while the whole atmosphere left us feeling relaxed and peaceful. Beside the outstanding views, Kenanga has the most amazing infinity pool. A swim by the rice field panorama, relaxes your mind in a nicest way possible. I had one of the best breakfasts in there, the food overall was extremely delicious (I would highly suggest you visit their Terra Cotta restaurant for a healthy meal with the best view ever) The hotel was the perfect starting point for exploring the Ubud area (...) The reason more why I would recommend a Kenanga stay is the fact that they are highly connected with the local community, therefore they are helping good local people make their living. The manager was very kind and helpful, providing us with many relevant information. The overall experience exceeded our expectations, a calming and relaxing feel made us forget about the worries and opened the Bali trip we would surely never forget.

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Must-visit restaurant in Siem Reap for affordable price"

Review by: xiefaliang | Source: Trip Advisor
First of all the location: this restaurant is in a dark and isolated village in Siem Reap, and it might be difficult even for taxis to reach it. Recommend keeping a map with you (or google maps) in order to find it more or less easily or help the taxi driver to do it. Went there right after Christmas and only had to wait a few minutes to get a seat (no booking, but it's better to have one). The restaurant has two floors, so you can dine downstairs indoor or at their al fresco terrace. They offer a tasting menu of 5 or 6 courses for 24 or 28 USD that changes every 10 days, the food is amazing! Their style is French-Cambodian, and the chef will come visit you at your table at the end of the meal to offer a plate of fresh fruit after the dessert. Must note that the restaurant is open only from Tuesday to Saturday, so it will be a pity to go there when it's closed (also because it's a reeeeeally dark street haha). Enjoy!

Rachamankha: "A stunningly stylish hotel"

A beautiful architect designed hotel in the centre of Chiang Mai. It has an excellent restaurant and a beautiful swimming pool. We stayed in 2 different suites and I would highly recommend one the first floor suites as they are newer and have outdoor seating.

Babe: "Food with a view"

Review by: mvnm | Source: Trip Advisor
"It seems that wherever one is in Kuala Lumpur the Petronas Towers are in sight none more so than at Babe. A spectacular view from the restaurant across the city includes these landmarks, lit up at night they make a stunning backstop. The food is an interesting take on tapas in a Japanese style, it works perfectly. Well balanced, subtle and elegant. The service is attentive and informative. We chose one of the desgustation menus and enjoyed one of the best evening's dining ever."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Luxe, calme et volupté =)"

Review by: ahquecoucou | Source: Trip Advisor
Superbes villas avec un staff incroyable. Au calme, à deux minutes de la plage avec un service sur mesure et des petits-déjeuners à tomber ! Le spa est niché dans un écrin de bambous et de lumière magnifique...À n'en pas douter, un lieu d'exception.

The River Resort: "Paradis"

Review by: sylvain2308 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Lorsque l'on arrive dans la region de Champasak et que l'on cherche un hotel deux possibilités s'offrent dont la folie lodge. Au vue des avis nous avons ete incapable de choisir et avons été aux deux qui sont presque face a face. Arrivé au river resort par taxi depuis Pakse accueil agréable. Belle chambre avec vue dur le Mekong. Chambres modernes et clean . Tres bonne literie. Belles piscines (2) avec vue sur la Meckong un peu froide et manquant de profondeur. Petit déjeuner et repas parfait ! Cuisinière excellente et service Restauant parfait. Organisation excursion wat phu bien prix correct ( loc de tuktuk) Rien de plus a dire un très bel hôtel dans un beau cadre. Beau lever de soleil de ce cote du Meckong !"

Tugu Bali: "A slice of Heaven"

Review by: 4AfricanGypsy | Source: Trip Advisor
"The great service started at the airport when we met our smiling driver Dewo! Had no idea how crazy the streets around Bali could be and was thankful to be driven by a local :) We arrived at Hotel Tugu mid evening to a beautiful lights and warm atmosphere and friendly welcome and shown to our beautiful charming room - we had a family suit with inter leading doors and a GREAT bath! We loved all our time at Tugu and am just sorry not to have tried out all their ""experience"" suggestions - next time dinner on the beach! This was out first trip to Bali and we could come back here - we had a drive over to the South Kuta side and although they have nicer beaches we felt the intimate setting of Tugu so much nicer than the sprawling mass hotel feel of somewhere like Ayodya! Breakfast could be eaten at the pool or dining area overlooking the ocean and the kids loved the banana pancakes. We all loved the food at the Japanese restaurant on site and had fun exploring the area up to Echo Beach and LOVED the visit to Tanah Lot (best at high tide for photos). Driving anywhere takes a lot of time so it was lovely to be able to have a good choice of things to do (surfing lessons, swimming, cooking etc) right on the doorstep. LOVED this place!"
