Reverie Siam Pai: "Upscale resort in the mid of Pai valley!"
Upon arriving at the resort after a long and exhausted journey from Chiangmai, I found a germ in the hill country town of Pai. Unassuming but luxurious, the resort was truly a rare find in this remote area of Thailand. Its garden with well maintained and manicured green "maze" lead to the pool and bungalows. Room was large with a spacious bathroom with beautiful 19th century style bathtub. From the room's balcony, you can have view of surrounding mountains and the beautiful landscape of the whole resort. Staffs were friendly and helpful. However, the most impressive thing about this resort was its opened air restaurant. The foods and service were outstanding, especially its pizza and Italian dishes-no less authentic and delicious than the same dishes in Rome or New York! We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. The resort was about 10 min ride by the complimentary electric cart provided by the resort and only 2 minutes from the best spa in Pai.Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Extraordinary degustation! MUST do!"
Greeted by the chef on arrival and made feel welcome like your dining at the chefs own home! Incredible local produce and traditional Khmer flavours, prepared using French techniques. The frog legs were an absolute highlight! Affordable fine dining at its best! Can't wait to return! Thank you!Samanea Beach Resort: "top class"
wonderful piece of paradise in the delightful kep. yes, it's further out of town and a bit of a schlep to get in to the crab market, but it's worth it for the tranquility of the location and the beauty of the private beach and jetty. you can watch crab fishing and wildlife from your sun lounger and the grounds are superbly kept. junior suite was well worth the splurge for our honeymoon- the outdoor bathroom was magical. professional and unobtrusive service to top it off, and a great value happy hour. we will be back!Maison Polanka: "Perfect in every way"
This is a wonderful haven. It has authentic and stylish accommodation in a peaceful garden setting. The staff, led by the incomparable Francis, are charming, knowledge and helpful. The Green Room where we stayed was unpretentious and stylish. Thoroughly recommended.The River Resort: "Great place to relax"
I was in search of a place that I could relax and do some writing and this place could not have served the purpose better. I initially booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 10 nights, the surrounding is exquisite, the staff is on top of their game and the sunsets are stunning. Every evening during the rainy season there is an amazing chorus of crickets - its like an orchestra playing. If you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and clear your mind this place is it. The rooms are super clean with an inside and outside shower, the bed is super comfy and there are two infinity swimming pools but the river. I miss this place and would definitely go back there again.Manda De Laos: "Great food, for meat lovers and vegetarians"
We went there 3 times as a family and tried many of their dishes. It was great experience. The setting is romantic but not kitsch. Our daughter a vegetarian loved the food, so did we. Prices are OK, maybe a bit more expensive than in other places but the whole experience is worth it. Ask for a table by the "lake" not one in the second row.Satri House: "Absolute oasis of calm and tranquility"
After the hustle of Hanoi we flew into Luang Prabang and spent 3 nights at the Satri House Hotel, it was superb. In easy walking distance from the town centre, fantastic beautifully furnished room and lovely grounds with charming pool. The staff were also first class --- I can't think of a single criticism. We have travelled in Indochina before and use trip advisor regularly but this is the first time I have ben moved to write a review ---it was excellent.Samanea Beach Resort: "Great location for relaxing break."
Great location, relaxed environment in a quiet seaside town. Crab market and seafront by short tuk tuk ride away. Resort restaurant had very nice food especially the cinamon toast at breakfast. Pool was nice and lovely waterfront views from jetty.Villa Song Saigon: "beautiful riverside hotel"
We stayed 3 nights in March. Everything about the hotel was lovely- room, staff, pool and food. District 2 is quiet with good local restaurants and bars and taxis from the airport and city centre cheap. The hotel also provides a boat shuttle to the city which was great fun. Rooms on the upper floors will be quieter.Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A haven to rest up and be awestruck by the sunrise"
This is a great place to stay if you dontvwant to be in Lakeside. It's takes a while to get up there but when you do it's a haven of tranquility. The grounds are beautifully kept and the rooms eco friendly. You can be woken up in time to watch the sunrise over the Annapurna range which we did 3 days running with the view improving each time. Awesome place to have breakfast! I was suffering with a damaged back. Marcus, Jhalek and the team looked after us with a nice blend of low key care and concern and practical advice. The food is a clever blend of local and international . They have a good hotline to the local clinic. The longer you stay the more the place gets into your bones. I'm so glad I spent an entire day doing nothing just relaxing the only time on the trip. We would recommend Tiger Mountain to all our friends.
