Reverie Siam: "Paradise in a small town"

Review by: panidaavni | Source: Trip Advisor
"RS was an amazing hotel in a very busy small town. It was truly wonderful to escape back to after a tiring day in the heat and humidity of Pai. The staff here are so welcoming and very accommodating. They greet you so warmly all the time. The shuttle tuk tuk was also very handy as it is almost impossible to find taxis when walking the streets of Pai. The breakfast menu was very impressive. Everything cooked to order. Try the Pai scramble. We took the family room which had the largest bathroom I have seen for such a size hotel. Beds were very comfortable and all the locals amenities provided in the bathroom are very nice touches. The soaps were great - lemongrass and coconut, all locally sourced and natural"

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Holiday"

Review by: Andrew J | Source: tripadvisor.com
The Cabochon is quiet and peaceful reminiscent of a colonial era with all the trimmings of a boutique residence. The location offers great access to the city's delights including retail and food outlets. The rooms are light, airy and spacious with crisp white bedding. The pool area is sedate and relaxing. The restaurant serves a wonderful array of Thai delights from all regions of this wonderful land. The bar area is busy with eclectic wonders but also soothing and tasteful. The staff are smart, attentive and most helpful. I would recommend this to any discerning traveller. I most certainly will be returning.

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "A peaceful Oasis"

Review by: daga65 | Source: tripadvison.com
"This beautiful hotel is set out of the bustling city of Saigon, located on the riverside. It is about a 20 minutes boat trip into district one of HCMC (provided free of charge by the hotel at selected times during e day). Approx. 50 mins drive from the airport (depending on time of day/traffic). The hotel is quiet and offers a relaxing and peaceful escape from the bustle and noise of the centre of HCMC. Very friendly staff, clean, large room (top floor), lovely pool area. Restaurant at back of hotel over looking river, lovely setting, food very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay and would recommend this for anyone wanting a retreat from the manic city centre. "

Misool Eco Resort: "Are we there yet?"

Review by: San925 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Getting there from the US is grind, but well worth it. As a result of ranger patrols, the marine park is protected and thriving, making the diving (and snorkeling) truly outstanding. The soft corals and marine life are abundant, healthy and beautiful. The dive center is efficiently and well managed. Evening talks were fun and educational. The resort is well designed and eco friendly. Staff are friendly and helpful. Was very sad to leave, but would go back in a heartbeat! Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

"The hotel was very nice with the unique Lanna combining with Chinois design and decoration. The place is clean, serene and peaceful. Just like i was walking in another world and time paused. The staffs were so helpful and gave me very warm welcome. The hotel is located behind Phra Singh temple where is the heart of old city area in central Chiang Mai. It's very to promenade the cultural sight-seeing. Also it's very easy to go to Sunday weekend market for your intersting Thai and handcrafted arts snd souvenirs. If i have a chance, i surely go back to stay here."

Villa Song: "Wonderful Christmas break"

Review by: pleneuf | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed 4 days at the end of December at the hotel. It was a very pleasant experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the free boat shuttle to district one. A nice way to avoid traffic and a great view on the skyline.

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Holiday in heaven"

Review by: Tanya B | Source: tripadvison.com
"We have spent a very relaxing and peaceful time at this wonderful hotel. Located along the river and just far enough away from district 1 - Villa Song was the perfect escape from the daily adventures discovering Ho Chi Minh City, Chi Chi tunnels and Mekong delta. Highly recommended. "

The Island Lodge: "A charming adress in Mekong"

Review by: FranckMarteau | Source: Trip Advisor
After a vibrant week end in Saigon, the island lodge is the perfect place to be : stunning view on the mekong river, just wildness around, an amazing lodge with only 12 bedrooms, lovely decorated in the spirit of the old 'indochine', superb bathroom and a terrace on the river to relax. The swimming pool is beautiful, cristal clear, and you can enjoy a jacuzzi, a sauna and also a typical spa for great vietnamese massages. Michel and Francoise, the french owners will ensure that everything is made for you with a true sign of details and perfection. If you want to pick a unique adress along the Mekong, the island lodge is the place to be ! We left by boat to Cai be and the lodge had organized a nice pack lunch on the boat....what a pleasure !
