Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Fantastic place !"

Review by: Cécile D | Source: Trip Advisor
"A really place, quite ans sophisticated in a very quite area, next to Battambang, Beautiful décoration in traditional khmer houses. The atmosphère in the evening with the small lac illuminated is Wonderfull. Also we loved the restaurant : very good and cheap. It is better to stay there than to go to Battambang. Can be good for a long stay to enjoy the area."

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "A very special place"

Review by: Tim L | Source: Trip Advisor
I would echo Meredith, Dan and others who have given this a rating of five - or more. We enjoyed every minute of our time at Muang La Lodge and would have stayed longer if we could have. From the moment we walked through the gates, we felt well cared for and knew we were in good hands at a very special location. The care they take, not only with their guests but with the local villagers, is palpable. We had a room overlooking the river - and the "public" hot springs used the the villagers (which the hotel built for them in exchange for the villagers allowing the hotel to use water from the hot springs). While I was initially concerned upon hearing this, it ended up being a great thing to watch villagers young and old come and use it in the later afternoon. Staff was incredible and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well cared for. Both breakfast and dinner were fabulous. The grounds were beautiful and well cared for. Our room was well appointed and very comfortable. The quality of sleep was wonderful: the bed was great with high-quality pillows, and the room was quiet with only a hint of sound from the river outside, which made it even easier to sleep. What are you waiting for - book now!

Inle Princess Resort: "A unique and beautiful place to stay"

Review by: traveldaydreamer | Source: Trip Advisor
Set on the majestic, vast and serene Inle Lake, with its floating villages, this beautiful resort is nestled amongst tropical gardens and pods of lily pads. We enjoyed staying in a lovely, spacious lake chalet which had both an indoor and outdoor shower. The service was first class, meals excellent and the pampering spa amazing. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay. We hope to return.

Inle Princess Resort: "Top of the Line"

Review by: The B | Source: Trip Advisor
"The best place to stay on Inle Lake. Gorgeous private lakeside location with beautifully landscaped ground. Well located for touring. Totally service oriented in the most friendly of ways. Very comfortable large individual chalets with large balconies, fireplace, seating area, fridge, safe, large bathroom to include outdoor shower. Nice pool area to relax at day's end. Beautiful lakeside deck for meals. We have high expectations and they were met. On arrival we asked for extra lamps (we don't like dark rooms), space heaters for the bathroom and main room and extra blankets and towels ... all were promptly and cheerfully provided. The dinning room staff was exceptional helpful in arranging meals to our individual taste. Plan on eating here ... no where else to eat."

Reverie Siam Pai: "Delightful hotel"

Review by: mills222 | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a four day stay at the Reverie Siam with my elderly parents and two month old baby. The staff were excellent - very kind and flexible when it came to accommodating our baby. I felt comfortable breastfeeding in the restaurant and by the pool which was a massive bonus for me since I didn't have to hole myself up alone to feed. The rooms were beautiful and we loved the jacuzzis. The pools are lovely and we were lucky that the hotel wasn't too crowded - we had sun loungers every day. One thing that was slightly disappointing was the food. Although reasonably priced, I was sad that the meals were not exactly generous in size. The pizzas were especially tiny! Someone is very good at writing menus because everything sounded delicious, but nothing really lived up to its description. Breakfast was big - two dishes, a hot drink, and a juice, but again, the taste just wasn't quite there. All in all though, we had a really great stay and will definitely return if we can.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Serene start to honeymoon"

Review by: alice h | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent the first three nights of our honeymoon here and it was perfect. From the moment we arrived to our personal tent with the plunge pool filled with petals, to the beautiful candles lit to guide your way to dinner and the incredible food! It is very much off grid, and of course there are the occasional jungle sounds and a few lizards to keep you company, but that is what makes it such an unusual place. We have glamped in other parts of the world and this definitely had the edge on luxury, and the least bugs!! The site is nestled unobtrusively among rice fields and feels very blended wth the local area. Although slightly out of the hustle and bustle of ubud, the free shuttle is excellent and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Thank you for a lovely Stay!"

Tugu Bali: "Amazing experience"

Review by: aagabrielle | Source: Trip Advisor
"From the moment we arrived we knew this was experience was going to be unique! the staff was more than fabulous and they truly made the difference here. The place has real magic around, our room had beautiful small details that we loved. We came to Bali to celebrate my birthday and they really made this experience wonderful. The food was delicious, the massage therapist were great, the tours and drivers were really nice and patient, the recommendations for places to visit and good restaurants as well. would definetly come back with my eyes closed. "

Villa Song Saigon: "Great location and the service is first class"

Review by: Gordon C | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel worked perfectly for us as a final day/night before flying home. It is a high end boutique hotel, at a good price, in a quiet location right by the water's edge. eating out by the water was very relaxing and although the hotel is on the opposite bank from the main tourist area you can have the best of both worlds as their boat service enabled you to easily cross over with the benefit of a free river tour...The rooms are of a very high standard and the icing on the cake was the standard of service. Whoever we talked to from the staff couldn't have been trying harder to help us. Additionally we had a very late flight out in the evening. They tried very hard to accommodate us having a room for an extended period. When this wouldn't work, as they were full, they provided us showers and access to a room to change in. You can't ask for more and if in Ho Chi Minh City again we will definitely be back. Thank you for making the end to our holiday so good. "

Tugu Bali: "Hotel meets art museum"

Review by: Kristina B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Hotel Tugu surprised us! Canguu has gotten busier and built up but you step inside Hotel Tugu and it is like stepping into an oasis back in time. The rich artwork everywhere you turn is a photographers dream! The hotel is more than happy to give you a tour for free and I highly recommend it. Hearing the history behind each art piece and painting makes the experience that much richer. The rooms are like staying in an old wood Balinese villa. If you are looking for a modern Marriott, than this hotel would not be for you (and you would be missing out on a one of a kind experience), Lots of character and amazing views. The service is great! You can eat anywhere on the property at any time. I highly recommend you check out all the nooks and crannies. There are many more dining spots than you may think at first blush. They also have numerous one of a kind specialty drinks that do not disappoint. The Japanese restaurant is a reconstructed ancient Chinese temple. Good sushi and better pictures so bring your camera to dinner!"

Locavore: "FANTASTISK!"

Review by: stephansieben | Source: Trip Advisor
Locavore skuffede ikke. Min kæreste og jeg fik 7 retters menuen med dertilhørende vinmenu eller rettere cocktailmenu. Det var ypperligt på alle planer. Stor madkunst! Og utroligt svært med ord at hylde maden som den fortjener. Smagsoplevelsen var uovertruffen, anretningerne var smukke og serveringen var venlig og proffessionel. Locavore er i den grad et besøg værd og er en restaurant i en klasse for sig.
