Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful hotel in a peaceful setting"

Review by: rocky-mtn-way | Source: Trip Advisor
"This may be the nicest hotel we have ever visited, and we have stayed at many special places around the world. The property is beautifully sited on the riverbank and the rooms are spectacular! Our room had a separate sitting area with an amazing bathroom and balcony overlooking the river. The staff was extremely helpful. We dined at the restaurant which was also amazing. Room Tip: River front rooms are amazing"

The River Resort: "Wunderschön"

Review by: 0815Dede | Source: Trip Advisor
Es geht nicht besser. Eine wunderschöne Anlage. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im ersten Stock mit Mekongblick. Unser Zimmer war geräumig und praktisch eingerichtet. Der Boden hätte etwas sauberer sein können. Vielleicht wurde nicht feucht gewischt? Bei unserem Einzug waren die Fächer recht staubig. Wir haben sie vor dem Einräumen ausgewischt. Der Service war ansonsten einwandfrei. Gerade auch im Restaurant. Die beiden Pools sind sehr schön, es sind ausreichend viele Liegen vorhanden.

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Boutique hotel in Sukhumvit"

Review by: StephWills | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We stayed in Cabochon in July this year and were blown away by this beautiful small hotel. We were unsure if we would like Bangkok but ended up loving it. I'm sure a large part of this was down to Cabochon. Firstly, it is an excellent area of town to stay. It is a 5-10 minute safe walk to a BTS station which takes you quickly to the hustle of town. Plus, it's incredible air con makes it a pleasure to travel on. Sukhumvit itself is also a lovely area where we always felt safe and there were tons of great places to eat. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and you wouldn't believe you were in the centre of busy Bangkok! Firstly, it is so quiet. It is also beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The room is a good size with an excellent bathroom. Also loved the free fruit and soft drinks in the mini bar! They have an excellent (but very spicy!) on site and breakfasts are both buffet and a la carte for no extra cost. Amazing French toast! If I was going back to Bangkok I wouldn't even consider anywhere else. Many thanks to the staff who were outstanding throughout. "

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"

Review by: “Paradise” | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is one of my favorite places in the world. As soon as you wade ashore off the long tail boat that drops you off you know your somewhere special. It's a wonderful escape from work, city living and the world. There's nothing to do here but relax. A 10km long beach with pretty much no one on it and beautiful water. Small islands and mangrove swamps to explore by kayak. Beautiful beach homes to kick back in. The option of yoga in the morning and massage any time of day. Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"

Misool Eco Resort: "Unique and Amazing!"

Review by: worldvegans | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I have traveled enough to say this resort is one of the most amazing, unique places in the world. The story behind the why the resort exists and the process to create it so impressive. The diving, as many others have pointed out, is some of the best bar none. Yes...there are some challenges. Not the easiest place to get to. They could also do a better job with communication prior to arrival. (hopefully being solved soon) Once you arrive and get one night's good sleep, you will be so happy you made the journey. We did the 9+1 trip and that felt like a very good length. Next time (and there will very likely be a next time within the next few years) we will likely go for the 12+1. There is so much to do even when you are not diving but we spent most of our time diving because the dive team is great and its just so magical underwater. Of course you don't want to miss the dive when others in your group just spend 30 minutes with three mantas right? I could go on and on about why and how this team is making miracles in this tiny island but I prefer short reviews on trip advisor. If you love to see underwater life and have the time and money to make this journey, give it a go and have a wonderful experience."

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Outstanding"

Review by: ludlbk | Source: Trip Advisor
"From arriving at the jetty and throughout our stay everything was just perfect. The rooms are very nice, food at the restaurant delicious and service is very friendly and professional. Guided by the teachers of the Vocational Hospitality School students try to outdo each other. Nearly 50 students attend the school, a wonderful project by the non-profit Inle Heritage Foundation. Proceeds from the hotel, the restaurant, the gift shop are used to offer free education to people from the region and further away, carefully selected by their capacity to meet the demands of the hospitality business. The school is considered a benchmark in the area and beyond, the efforts of the foundation are to be admired. Many thanks to all the staff (Min, Thazin, Naing Win, Ye Wint, just to mention a few who's names we remember) for a wonderful stay. Stayed October 2016, traveled with family"

Yandabo Home: "A little luxury in a surprising location"

Review by: VincentWoodward | Source: Trip Advisor
"Ok let's start at the beginning. Yandabo is a small village on the edge of the irrawaddy river. Its only recently got electricity and is home to a very traditional way of life with the local village making pottery by ways long forgotten by the western world! So if you come here expecting fine dining, satellite TV, tarred roads and modern communication you might be disappointed. The Yandabo is however very well equipped with fantastic rooms which surpasses most city rooms, with a cavernous bathroom and a bedroom that is simply luxurious. Comfort is without compromise. The service too is fantastic with staff available and enthusiastic to give you as much as they can.. Food is of a very high standard too. All in all the Yandabo has achieved a remarkable level of accommodation considering it's location and I would happily recommend anyone to stay here."
