Villa Song Saigon: "Height of luxury"

"We treated ourselves to a stay here on the last night of our holiday. It isn't cheap but does offer an exceptional experience. Just taking the speed boat into town makes it worth it! They organized a great tour to the tunnels for us and we enjoyed sitting in the peaceful gardens by the river drinking cocktails. The room is a luxurious boutique standard. The pool is a great size and lovely temperature. The only thing that could be improved is that the attitude of some of the reception staff was a bit snooty, it could be more universally warm and welcoming. Everybody was polite though and it felt very special to stay here."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"

"This is Thailand's best kept secret. Charming and secluded and really really well run by Massi, the hotel manager. We were in heaven and are dreaming about our next visit. No tvs, no air conditioning, running water that smells a little due to minerals, but none of it matters when you are at the golden Buddha because you are drawn into a Robison Crusoe fantasy that you seldom find anywhere these days. Lots of nature and very little to do except enjoy the surroundings. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Reverie Siam: "As good as the reviews suggest"

"We stayed two nights as part of our trip through Thailand. The food and beverage manager is doing a great job at this hotel. Breakfast a la cart is so much more enjoyable especially when it is prepared to such a high standard..the cocktails were outstanding, comparable with top 5 star hotels in HK. Not much around the hotel but the free shuttle was very reliable. Special thanks to the ladies who served us breakfast and evening drinks/dinner, they were genuinely so friendly and made our stay memorable. Thank you and we hope to return if we pass your way again! Pity the weather was too cold for us to use the two beautiful pools!"

Villa Mathis: "Toujours aussi magique!"

8 eme séjour à la Villa Mathis...! Toujours aussi agréable et laisse toujours un sentiment de privilège. Nouvelles petites touches de deco... Parfait pour clôturer les vacances dans la sérénité de ce décors enchanteur...!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Otherworldly"

"This hotel has been covered extensively, and for good reason. We stayed for four nights during our honeymoon, and even though we stayed at truly luxurious hotels, 4 Rivers was a real highlight. You take a boat about 25 minutes to floating wooden platforms with about 15 tents set up. The rooms are well appointed (nothing special), but you're there for the surroundings. Our bodies got accustomed to waking up with the sun and going to sleep when it got dark. We enjoyed taking the sunset cruise at the end of the day, and exploring the mangroves in kayaks. The staff, especially Rambo and Bono, are delightful. It was here that we fell in love with Cambodia. My only complaint is that food was bad (not authentic). Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Felt like home away from home"

"We stayed at Neeleshwar Hermitage last month (Spetember 2015) and it was an awesome experience. We arrived at the place in the evening after a long and tiresome drive from Mangalore Airport. With two young and cranky kids..we were exhausted. But the traditional and warm reception we got at the Reception hall certainly cheered our grumpy lot quite a bit. First thing, I noticed at this place was, how Eco-concious they are. They have a no plastic policy, they do not use garbage churning stuff. Their restrooms have cloth towels rather than paper ones. All fresh and white. Their place has so much of greenery. Lovely Hibiscus all around. They make generous use of the flowers to decorate the premises including their spacious beautiful rooms. When we reached our room, we were greeted by the mild fragrance of incense and flowers. Soooo relaxing.. (...) My younger 3 year old got sick one night and they made sure that we got the medicine we required, even during night with short notice. They made sure we got a see a Paediatrician early next morning. I am truly grateful for their help. Not to forget, at my request they gave me some Hibiscus cuttings to carry back home and plant. Overall, an awesome place. Will go again with friends and family. "

The Cabochon Hotel: "Best restaurant ever"

Amazing food & great prices. The atmosphere is amazing and so romantic. The food is delicious. Everything we ordered was so good. Also the interior of the restaurant is so classy and elegant. After dinner we had some tea, in one of the tea rooms. I had such an amazing experience and will definitely be back

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Fantastic Peranakan Experience"

Very beautiful place with a rich history to it. The close-to-Pernankan experience was awesome with a rich architecture and straits born designs! Food was good. Breakfast selection limited but rest assured that it's very tasteful! Service was excellent esp Shiro who made our stay more than wonderful than it already was! I will definitely go back again!

Maison Polanka: "A Delight"

We stopped in Cambodia for five days on the way back to Australia from Europe. We wanted a few relaxing days in a warm climate to beat the jet lag and wind down from a busy family-oriented trip to the UK. Maison Polanka was everything we had hoped for from the friendly greeting at the airport from Sopharin, the beautiful compound, stylish and comfortable room and the fantastic staff, including Francis and Cathy . It really is a special place that comes to feel like it might be your very own! The food is wonderful, which can be unusual for in-house hotel kitchens, and we ate in several times as a result. Maison Polanka organised a full day temple tour for us with the delightful and knowledgeable guide Mr Kim Chour and our inimitable tuk tuk driver for the week, Mr Binthoun. Both were friendly and just great. All in all, it was a really good experience and a brilliant hotel - we hope to return ❤️ We would also like to give the Phare Circus a plug, a truly fun night out and a great cause!

The Village House: "Peaceful location"

"If you're looking for an action packed location then this is not your place but if you're looking for a quiet and peaceful place to unwind then this is the perfect. The Village House is about a 40 minute drive from Kuching in the village of Santubong. It's a beautiful place with nicely designed and comfortable rooms and great bathroom. There's a beautiful pool area to relax in and the food here is very good. I spent two nights here where i relaxed by the pool, read a couple of books, enjoyed the food on offer, drank some wine and just enjoyed this lovely place. When I felt energetic i walked through the village and down to the beach to watch the sun set. The staff can arrange tours and transport if you do want to get out and do things but it is a great place to relax. Beautiful! Peaceful! Relaxing!"
