The River Resort: "Quite possibly the most beautiful place we’ve stayed"

"This resort is spectacular. I simply cannot fault it. The welcome was very warm and friendly. We were upgraded to a River front room which was glorious! The room is amazing - modern, light, spotlessly clean, indoor outdoor shower, most comfortable bed I've been in! The restaurant food is beautiful. Big serves and quality produce. Their homemade yogurt at breakfast is beautiful. I didn't want to leave. You must stay here! We also got picked up from Pakse, a free massage each, and dropped over to the other side of the river to catch a bus to 4000 islands."

Satri House: "Lovely place to stay"

Great location, 10 minute walk or 3 min tuk tuk to town and night market. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent pool side, dining and room service. Lovely room, four post bed, timber finish, spacious ensuite. Definitely a return visit. Thank you to all the staff. You helped make our trip to LP even more enjoyable.

The Island Lodge: "Wonderful place, exceptionally well run"

We stayed for 2 nights in this idyllic place. Michel has an excellent team of friendly and dedicated staff. Every detail is considered and the food is fabulous. Not cheap but there is a generosity of spirit here and an attention to quality that makes it good value. We will return. An easy journey from Saigon and seamless transfers.

Villa Song Saigon: "Great hotel away from the center"

Colonial villa with smart decor. Lovely big swimming pool. Located next to the river. Enjoyed the complimentary 10 minute boat ride to center of Ho Chi Minh. Excellent restaurant. A la carte extensive breakfast menu in a lovely setting. We had two adjoining rooms with a sitting room inbetween overlooking the river. Third floor no lifts so you needed to be able to manage stairs although I think there were rooms on ground floor. Lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff.

Sea Dance Resort: "Amazing and personalized service, and beautiful resort! Home away from home."

"From the start to the end, they helped us devise up a great schedule for the days we were present. We were visiting with young children and elderly parents. We had already done our research on the things we wanted to see but they suggested even more and put it altogether to make our stay unforgettable. Service: This is not one of the huge hotels where you get robotic service. All the staff know you, remember your names and what you like! A special Thanks to Faith for organizing and following up with all our needs and wants during our stay. It was wonderful to meet the kind and talented (guitar player) Poy who made our stay heavenly. Location: the hotel is located in a quiet area of the town and not on the busy streets. You can get to busy streets from where they are located though on foot or by using one of the pick up taxis'. Rooms: we loved the rustic feel of the rooms and the fact that we had our own small pool where the kids could swim and play whenever they wanted. The rooms were clean and spacious. They provide bathrobes and flip flops to walk around and welcome food. Water is provided everyday. They also provide a kind of electric zapper looking like a tennis racket (which we had never seen before) and this soon became my husband's new pass time... Amenities: we went snorkeling with the kids and although it can be hard at first to wade into the water with the rocks, they provide the perfect refuge to admire all the colorful fish in their habitat. The hotel has a couple of kayaks and provided life jackets and even crocs. Food: DELICIOUS! Definitely recommend the Thai cooking class. Not only was it so instructive for my kids and fun, but the result was absolutely delicious. The cooks/chefs were the sweetest with my children and we were able to adapt the spices to our liking. We discovered new fruits and the kids loved chopping the fruit and mixing it all in! The highlight of my trip! All in all: Definitely recommend if you want a quiet trip with elderly family or young children as they cater for all. You can get the excitement needed with all the activities onsite or in town which they organize. Tip on Koh Samui: On a Friday night visit the Fisherman's market. When doing activities around Koh Samui, I suggest to put on insect repellent as we did get bitten quite a bit and we had put on repellent and wore long pants! Not in the hotel but when we were out doing excursions whether it be at the fish market, the elephant safari...etc."

Tugu Bali: "A little jewel"

"The Hotel Tugu Bali is one of the best places I have ever staid in whilst traveling the world. The attention that is given to little details, like flower arrangements, candles, and even a little present on arrival & departure, was absolutely falttering. The staff is so friendly and sweet & make you feel special. Parts of the hotel are also museums & there are many limited collectors items you will not see anywhere else in the world. This is particularly charming as well. The hotel is located in beautiful Changgu, where a lot of the expats live, and which makes you be away from the hustle and busy bustle of Seminiak and Denpasar. You may want to consider renting a scooter to get around. There are many places to eat, and ithe beach is ideal for surfing. I had the suite with the private pool & I was in heaven :D I loved everything about Tugu Bali & put it very high on my recommendation list (and I am a picky person when it comes to hotels ;))"

Satri House: "Just wonderful and charming"

"Excellent in every way! Top in quality of the rooms decorated with local and colonial furniture, the staff is helpful, the spa was really agreeable, the restaurant is top even if the staff is still lacking a bit of experience in the way of taking orders. For sure, this will be the place I will go back to next time I am in Luang Prabang."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Oustanding resort. Everyone needs to stay here"

"We spent 3 nights here, looking for relaxation and a beautiful setting. We definitely got this and more. The service was fantastic, staff were happy to help in anyway possible and went above and beyond. The food is some of the best I've ever tasted, not to mention the cocktails! Whilst it wasn't walking distance from town, it is very easy to get a taxi and to be honest...you might just find that you never want to leave the resort anyway as they have everything you need! I will definitely be back! Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"
