THE ISLAND LODGE: "FANTASTIC"
"this does not have yo be a long review Location is perfect, so peaceful Service is excellent and very discreet Privacy at its best 5 star French breakfast... for FREE Value for money a great deal though a bit pricey in the first place. Your feeling definitely different after your stay... just waiting to come back!! "Villa Song: "We would come back"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Song. This is a smaller, boutique type hotel, which was exactly what we wanted. It just felt so much more intimate and personal and yet still had all the amenities you could want. Wonderful well appointed rooms . I’ll admit that we were lucky enough to have a suite, which was simply stunning (thank you Villa Song). But the children’s room was still quite lovely and we would have been happy with that (although we declined to swap with them). We loved the setting - dining down by the river was lovely and you are a short walk / taxi from other great places to eat in the area. Breakfast is a la carte rather than buffet, but there is more than enough choice. We were here towards the end of our trip and frankly we were over wandering around at breakfast buffets. Nice pool and gym. For us, this was exactly what we wanted and a nice change from the larger chains and resorts "Cuca: "Excellent food"
Tapas style food, full of flavor and amazing combinations. Excellent place to dine with family or friends with amazing service and excellent pricesRachamankha: "A classy sanctuary"
"The Rachamankha gave us the chance to 'step off' from our busy work lives for 5 blissful nights. The setting is quintessentially boutique, with exquisite architecture and design, a chic pool area complete with cushions on lounge chairs, ambient al fresco dining and lots of special places to relax in solitude with a book or cocktail. We stayed in a garden courtyard room which had high ceilings and pared back decor with cool tile flooring and a separate bathroom. The breakfast a la carte options are numerous and tasty, although the quality of the restaurant cooked meals does not quite match the standard set by other aspects of the hotel. I would definitely stay there again. "4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Beautiful place to stay!"
"A very nice place to relax and do some tours, extremely friendly and helpful staff. The tents are great, they offer good facilities, and all come with an awesome view of the river and the most amazing sunset. It's definitely not cheap but well worth the money! "Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Best meal in Siem Reap!"
"After 5 trips to Siem Reap, I finally found a great restaurant! Wat Damnak is absolutely a gem of a place, The ambience, food, and service are all outstanding. The food, however, is what sets this place apart. There's no point making recommendations since the menu changes every week, but suffice to say that every dish on the tasting menu we tried was a treat. The grilled langoustine was exceptionally good, and dessert (mango cashew nut crumble, green mango jelly, and vanilla cream) was an absolute delight. I could have easily eaten 3 more of those. The drinks menu is also extensive, and very good value. My companion had an excellent cocktail, while I tried a local craft beer. I would recommend going for the 6 course option, it's definitely worth it. At USD 31 for the 6 course menu (USD 27 for 5 courses), it's a steal and worth much, much more. This is easily the best restaurant in Siem Reap."Tugu Bali: "Heaven in Paradise"
Nice to get away to Canggu and enjoy a more relaxing environment than Krazee Kuta Previously stayed with Tugu in Malang and on Lombok....never disappoint to enjoy the Tugu experience wherever I travel in Indonesia Great time againInle Princess Resort: "Wonderfully relaxing"
We felt at home as soon as we arrived at this lovely resort. We had a lake view chalet close to the boat dock but there was no noise disturbance as boats are not allowed to use power engines when approaching the resort. The room was spacious and had everything that we needed. We loved sitting out on the verandah and taking in the lovely views. The resort handicraft centre is great if you want to try your hand at pottery, Shan paper making, weaving or a range of other handicrafts. The food is very good and the service excellent.villa song: "Elegant, relaxed old world villa"
"Sit on a table with a cooling fan watching the working boats ceaselessly chugging back and forth on the River Song, sipping a cocktail or enjoying a wonderful breakfast - Villa Song is a truly delightful, charming old villa, Modernised to perfection and providing a calm oasis close SE to the deranged mayhem of down town HCMC. The bedroom we stayed in was huge, with a fabulous bathroom, and a separate room with a huge bay window overlooking the river. The bed was huge and incredibly comfortable. We loved the fee motorboat service into the city centre - atmospheric trip past the rapidly changing city skyline. Can't recommend this hotel highly enough!"Inle Princess Resort: "Amazing Inle Lake"
"This hotel was pretty special, we had a chalet style room with a verandah overlooking the lake with sun loungers, chairs and table. The room was excellent and the bathroom had ""his & her"" wash basins, a bath and an outside shower. There was a good restaurant, bar and swimming pool and we arrived by boat being rowed by the distinctive local leg rowing method. Wifi only obtainable in reception and restaurant/bar areas "
