The Apsara Rive Droite: "Romantic Nighttime Dining"

Review by: BradHurley | Source: Trip Advisor
"We enjoyed this restaurant so much we ate there twice. The setting is pretty amazing, with colorful paper lanterns over an outdoor terrace overlooking the Nam Khan River. Even though there was a road between the terrace and the kitchen, it is very quiet and I didn't even notice any traffic during our meal. The food itself was amazingly good, especially the coriander fish cakes. Stayed November 2016, traveled as a couple"

Muang La Lodge: "Worth the journey"

Review by: PaulaW2001 | Source: Trip Advisor
There is no way round it, this beautiful hotel is remote, it took us 5 hours to get there and the same to leave. However, the location is beautiful. The hotel is so well run, every detail is perfect. We loved the food as well.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Quaint Resort"

Review by: Urmil G | Source: Trip Advisor
Wonderful resort with picturesque view...away from city noise and busy life, you enjoy beauty of nature. On the shore of Arabian Sea the resort is very peaceful... spacious rooms with open courtyard bathroom , overlooking sea what else one can ask for. Cordial, friendly and efficient staff ... always smiling and ready to serve you . Variety of food not much but what they give you is all fresh, healthy and tasty. They have infinity pool almost connected with beach. Lot of greenery and different variety of flowers keep you happy. Onam festival was near so they did amazing flower decoration. If someone wants calm holiday then this is the perfect choice.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Slice of Paradise"

Review by: DMFHenshaw | Source: Trip Advisor
"How I wished we had another night! This is a remarkable experience in the middle of the jungle. Don't be put off by the thought of a tent, this is luxury rather than camping. You can swim from your deck and borrow kayaks and fishing rods, or simply relax in the sunshine. We went on the sunset trip which was beautiful. The fireflies were an unexpected bonus. We also took the trip to Tatai Waterfall. That was great fun and we kayaked halfway back which was so peaceful. They provide lunch and towels. Just take sunscreen and a swimming costume or you could jump in like the locals fully clothed! On our second evening we drank cocktails on the main deck and watched the sun go down before dinner. The food is good- delicious homemade pineapple jam at breakfast. We also enjoyed the waffles which were more like American pancakes with fruit and ice cream. The portion was huge so one to share was plenty. Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well. This is really a unique experience you don't want to miss. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

VILLA SONG : "Simply the best!"

Review by: Shirley G | Source: tripadvisor.com
2nd year (4th visit) at the Villa Song Saigon and certainly won't be our last. Lovely hotel in a perfect location and the management, Yega Miss Thuy, and Kevin, together with their ever smiling staff, go out their way to make your stay memorable. We have visited many countries but overall the Villa Song is our favourite hotel. Already planning our return.

Villa Song: "Beautiful location, lovely hotel and staff."

Review by: Robin M | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed here for a wedding. Hotel is stunning and right on the river. Can get a river taxi into District 1 included in your hotel price which takes around 15minutes. Staff very helpful and always serve with a smile. Food was amazing. There's a great bar 5 minutes walk away called Saigon Outcast.

Rachamankha: "You have to stay here……"

Review by: Jill H | Source: tripadvisor.com
"OUTSTANDING, with a fabulous wow factor as soon as you drive into the courtyard. This hotel is a little gem so really I don't want to big it up too much as I wish for it to stay just as it is and always have a room available for me to stay for when I want to pop over to stay for a long weekend...... Paul walker, the GM, leads a great team. The service, food, amenities ( Molton Brown ) rooms, public areas of the hotel are all GREAT. Its a perfect stay for a short break and I will most definitely be retuning"

Review by: Vishnu P | Source: Trip Advisor
"We went there in Aug . We arrived early and the staff was very accomodative..they gave us room at 7 in the morning.Rooms are clean and have partially open baths,wooden floor and furniture give a elegant look.You can always walk down to beach,though not as good/clean when compared to others in kerala.They have a very good pool with great view of sea.Food is ok ,the chef is always ready for ur wishes. To sum up a good place to detox and relax and spend quality time with family."

Samuay & Sons: "Simply The Best Thai Restaurant in Thailand"

Review by: pariyac2017 | Source: Trip Advisor
This restaurant is best described" Simply the best Thai restaurant in Thailand " We went there after reading a few reviews and so happy we managed to get a table on our first night in Udon Thani. We got there at almost 9pm at the suggestion of the owner because there was a big group of guests at 8pm and he did not want us to wait long for our orders. We were a bit hungry when we got there and ordered more than what we could eat but at the suggestions of the owner we cut down a few dishes to save some spaces for their desserts. The desserts we had were " something to die for ". We enjoyed every dish we had. No need to guess where we went for dinner the following night. Service was also excellent and definitely very good for value. We wish there was a Samuay & sons in Bangkok.
