Samanea Beach Resort & Spa: "Excellent stay, highly recommended, amazing staff!"

Highly recommended resort, rooms very comfy and spacious, outdoor shower, nice pool. The staff is amazing, always ready to help and bring drinks/fruit. Restaurant excellent, very tasty food! Very peaceful and quiet.

Villa Song: "Delightful hotel away from the crowds"

"This is a delightful boutique hotel away from the crowds of Ho Chi Minh City but with the benefit of regular speed boat shuttles to take you to the centre of town. The rooms are well appointed with luxurious amenities. The service is fantastic from the very helpful staff. The location is out of the centre of town but it's easy to get into the centre of town and the location on the river is very nice. Also, the local neighborhood has a number of restaurants, shops, tailors etc. The hotel concierge has a great list of activities and tours - all the ones we did we were great. Definitely recommend Villa Song."

Tugu Malang: "Magic!"

Everything is excellent: staff, the restaurant (great menu) , rooms, afternoon tea, the decors, ... The staff will give you all sort of info and great advice. Don't forget to visit the Bakery next door: Roti Tugu. Highly recommended! One tip: book your table for dinner.

Locavore: "A dinner like a performance"

"It's hard to describe the menu and all it's different structures and tastes but see it is an evening out at a theater....the table looked simple and almost empty at start but soon a symphony emerges and takes you off to different and wonderful places, until a final apotheose of different kinds of sweetness ....and then the table is empty again. So far the poetry description... All of the dishes are ""urgent"" and none are ""fillers"" but of course we had our favorites. From the all very different amuses the tomato dish was sublime in its purity and the sweet, sour and salty perfect in balance. The catfish also combined great flavors and structures. The tongue with carrot and harmonious cocktail pairing was a great finish of the savory dishes, were after the sweet dishes gentle and a feast for the eye. Go for the 7 courses with cocktail pairing, most pairings are great, all cocktails are delicious but some a bit overpowering , so be careful, some you drink better AFTER you had the dish. This will be most likely a meal you never forget...a big thx to the whole team"

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing"

Although some might feel the place is too dark and is haunted, my husband and I however loved the quaint interior at the Tugu Lombok. Every piece of furniture or wall carving has been carefully chosen to decorate this hotel. The service was beyond excellent and they had an array of bespoke activities to choose from. I cant wait to come back!

The Samar: "Beautiful relaxing hotel near Ankor Wat"

"we have just returned from Cambodia 29 April. Stayed at the Samar Villas for 8nights We were upgraded to our own villa (amazing) as it was my husbands birthday whilst there. The hotel is very close to Ankor Wat so wonderful if your up early. It is very peaceful and calm. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times which I would recommend, Bertrand the owner of the hotel gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations as well. All of the staff were so warm and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. It's about a 8-10 min tuk tuk ride into siem reap town, we had the same tuk tuk driver whilst there who was just charming. The hotel arrant a English speaking guide for us who was wonderful he knew the answer to every question we asked him (many!!) I had a massage whilst there wish was truly relaxing. If you are visiting Siem Reap this is the place to stay, just out of the hustle and bustle of Siem Reap, but close enough to get out and about."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Relax and enjoy the views"

"Its a long and winding steep hill that takes you to this idyllic location. The rooms are wonderful and in keeping with the location. The views are stunning and its is a wonderful place to relax, that said don't miss a trip to Darjeeling a fabulous and busy town. I'd take a day to see it. You can also enjoy a massage. I took a walk into the village and it was great to see. Room Tip: Most rooms are great but I'd try and avoid the room off the main lounge."

Locavore: "Mind blowing experience"

"As I am new to the fine dining scene I wasn't quite sure what to expect but once the first tasting dish came out it was like a flavor bomb went off in my mouth and woke up taste buds I didn't know I even had and the night got better from there from the 7 starter tasters which seem to never end (trust me I didn't want it too) to the main my partner and I got the 5 course one herbacore and the other locovore it was the best way to go so we got to sample each others food yes they were small in size but I couldn't of eaten and more once it was finish we had dessert to finish off but even that was a experience as I don't really have a sweet tooth I was in heaven with the predessert taster then the dessert then the final dessert sample board neither I or my partner could fault our night at all it was culinary delight with amazing produce which is as fresh as you could possibly ask for yes the staff could use a few lessons on how to talk abit slower and louder as we couldn't really understand what we were eating but that just added to the excitement seriously looking forward to returning next time I'll be doing the 7 course with drink pairing Highly recommended and yes its pricey but if you were to go to Melbourne new York London or anywhere else for the quality you'd probably put a extra 0 on the end of the bill Great concept from a fellow Aussie and dutch working together highly recommend"

Chakrabongse Villas: "Quiet oasis, great location"

The Oriental Villa was perfect for our family of 4 (kids 10 and 8). Great location to explore the highlights of Bangkok. Dinner on the river was outstanding, and Ms. Atom reserved us a table at Sala Rattanakosin (within walking distance, also on the river) when their chef was off and it was equally memorable.

Mie Cafe: "Splendid dinner … best yet in Siem Reap"

Lovely setting, great menu, and food was perfectly cooked and presented .... Crab Bisque, then Curried Langoustine ... All outside seating, fans no A/C, but fine for us ... Give it a try !
