The Governor’s House: "memorable stay"
Soon as we arrived with our friends from a exhausted flight, the GM take care of us. She invited us on their mini sunset cruise to chilled with some drinks and tapas on the Mekong river. Wonderful. The next day a dinner with a traditional music and apsara dancer organized in the garden surprised our group. The rooms are wonderful decorated with all original antiques and luxery amenities. We decided to short our Siem Reap stay to stay one more night in this feeling home mansion before our flight back. We loved our stay and the very helpful staff. Try the food...Cuca: "Exceptional!"
"This was easily ranked one of, if not, the best meals we've had in Bali. The property sits on a beautiful idyllic garden surrounded by coconut trees. It has an open concept kitchen and I diners sat by the kitchen counter. Service was excellent, in fact, more than excellent. So much attention to details without being intrusive. Food was an explosion of Flavours. I'm not going to list what we ate but everything we had was amazing. It's the first time I went to a restaurant and not take pics of the food as pics will not justify the experience. Like it says in the menu, come with an open mind and an empty stomach! Totally worth it!"Inle Princess Resort: "Prime Position"
A beautiful place in an idyllic setting. Spacious chalet with outside deck whetjr one has Lake View or Pond View (slightly less expensive. Excellent breakfast and very good dinner. Binoculars and bird book a very nice touch. No tv anywhere. Wi-fi not available in guest rooms, only in reeption and dining area (although we had good wiifi in our chalet number 102. Approach is by motor boat from town about 30 minutes away althogh last 500 yards is by leg rower so there is little noise disturbance. Consider your return to Heho airport by car all the way (omitting the 30-minute boat ride and loading and unloading luggage) which save about half an hour on the journey. The final touch -- it was my wife's birthday on the dy we left and sh had a sing and a cake from the staff at 0630 in th morning and a beautiful silk skirt as a present from the owner himself who seems sincere about greening Burma and providing social benefits to his employees and the local community.Maison Polanka: "Maison Polanka a Haven"

"Delightful boutique hotel set in an old building with lots of character. We had a room set around a pretty courtyard area. It was a bit small by 5* Thai standards but nicely decorated and a very comfortable bed. The restaurant is set in a lovely courtyard where you have both breakfast & dinner. It has a reasonable breakfast choice with buffet & a la carte options - I had the Egg Benedict and an omelette on separate occasions which were both really tasty. We also ate twice in the evening (see separate entry). Lovely quiet swimming pool with the sun from 09.00. Very friendly staff who went out of their way to help. Location might be an issue for some people as it is quite far from the market and busier part of town but I would certainly go back to enjoy the tranquility of the place. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Cuca: "Loved it"
We visited Cuca as part of the Bali Food Safari tour for dessert and we loved it here! Each dish was divine, so fresh, colourful and delicately put together. The service was fantastic too. A must visit for anyone who loves delicious food!Muang La Lodge: "C’était parfait"
"A friendly welcome, everyone is attentive, the atmosphere is excellent, the service is perfect. The mountain hiking alone justifies to stay. The landscape is beautiful. Alas, what destitution in populations. Thank you for allowing us to see this reality. "Tugu Bali: "An amazing oasis in the chaos of Bali"
We stayed in the ground floor room with a private pool. One of the highlights of the room is the amazing bathroom which opens up onto a beautiful koi pond. The staff are wonderful. They are very friendly and extremely accommodating. They all speak great english and they can arrange any tour, transport or dinner you request. We were surprised to find out that you can have your breakfast anytime before 5pm. This is a unique and extremely practical situation. Highly recommend this hotel. The gardens, the pool and the decor are sensory delights and you always feel like you are in a balinese paradise.Villa Song Saigon: "The best boutique 5star Hotel of Saigon"
We have enjoyed every minute of our stay at Villa Song. The extremely warm-hearted and friendly staff made us feel at home in no time. The great location of the Villa directly at the Saigon river in the very hipp and up-coming District 2 of beautiful Saigon adds to the overall quality of the stay. We will surely come back!
