Villa Song: "Outstanding Hotel in Every Way!"

"Our experience with the Villa Song hotel has been excellent, with tremendous service and communication starting even before we arrived. From helping us to arrange car service from the airport, to recommending and reserving excursions, to accommodating changes in our travel plans, the service we have experienced has been top notch. When we missed our layover flight in Dubai we immediately let our friends at Villa Song know that we would be delayed a day. Even though we we only gave them a few hours notice they got back to us right away, to let us know that it wouldn’t be a problem. When we arrived at the hotel the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and confirmed our excursions that evening. The Vespa ride in Saigon and the boat trip on the Mekong Delta were fantastic and reasonably priced. When we saw our room - the imperial suite - we immediately decided to cancel the next leg of our trip and extend our stay at Villa Song for an additional 3 nights. The staff were very accommodating and told us we could stay in the same room. Everything in the room is high end, very clean and the bed and bedding are exceptional. The spa Service is OFF THE CHARTS good. We had a couples hot stone massage and I had a facial. Again, the prices were excellent! The food has surpassed our expectations. Breakfast is complimentary - I would suggest the waffles, with green coconut chutney - delicious! Lunch and dinner were five stars. My only small suggestion is that the white wine could be a little colder. The food is phenomenal!! This is a place to come to eat even if you don’t stay here. Lastly, the service at Villa song is as good, if not better, than any of the 6/7 star hotels in the West. Everyone was ready to help ensure that our honeymoon would be unforgettable. We leave the day after tomorrow for the St Regis in Langkawi, Malaysia - and to be honest - we want to stay here! Special thank you’s to Ms. Truc, Mr. Toan and Freddy. Thanks to you for making our time here unforgettable!! "

The Island Lodge: "Beautiful hotel just on the Mekong river"

We spend 3 nights at the Lodge and really loved it! Very nicely decorated , in lush greenery, amazing and friendly service and great food. And so nice to discover on a bike tour with Michel the way local people leave. Everyone was super friendly! I would definitely go again to enjoy the lodge and explore further the island!

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Amazing Hotel"

Cheong Fatt Tze - Blue Mansion is an amazing place to stay. The mansion is beautiful, and very well restored. It is fantastic to stay in such an historic building; you feel back in time. The breakfast is ok, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I loved it.

Tugu Lombok: "Never been anywhere like this before"

My wife and I loved it. It was like being welcomed back to the family home that I never grew up in. The delicious food, the quiet pools, the sunrise over the beach. I write from Villa 2 dreading having to check out in 4 hours. We spent three beautiful nights here. Our daughter was treated like royalty, given a crown and sceptre made from leaves. The pools with green tiles are beautiful and luxurious and as we floated together in the tranquil surroundings all thoughts about the rest of the world disappeared. We ate mahi mahi and lobster on a bamboo bed lit by candles and decorated with ketupat. If you can come here, please do. You will remember it forever.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Simplement parfait !"

"Un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel situé au milieu des rizières. Restaurant excellent, personnel professionnel, piscine agréable, chambre spacieuse, vue exceptionnelle... Tout était parfait. Nous avons fais une ballade au milieu des rizières et une baignade dans des piscines naturelles avec l'hôtel. Une activité de qualité où nous nous sommes sentis seuls au monde. Nous avons testé le spa : le top !"

Rachamankha: "Wonderful stay in this unique and beautiful hidden gem of a hotel!"

"We arrived at Chiang Mai airport really early after a very long journey. We were collected by the hotel staff at the airport and swiftly driven to the hotel. We were given an early check in, which was a lovely gesture, especially after such a long journey! We had booked a deluxe room, which comes with a lovely four poster bed. The room is beautifully decorated, has wifi and air conditioning and all the amenities you might require. Very comfortable bed and a quiet part of Chiang Mai. The hotel is very beautiful and based on the old Lana style of architecture, it consists of a series of interlinking courtyards, the whole hotel is very quiet and peaceful and a wonderful retreat away from it all. It really feels like you are stepping back in time when you stay at this hotel. Breakfast at the hotel is very nice, staff prepare you freshly pressed fruit juice, there is a nice menu with a good variety of eggs, pancakes, waffles and omelettes. The restaurant has an indoor portion and a beautiful peaceful outdoor courtyard, you can chose to sit in either of these areas. We had dinner here on one evening and the food was very good. The swimming pool is beautiful and very peaceful, you don't really hear the hustle and bustle of the city and you'd almost forget that your in Chiang Mai! Staff are wonderfully helpful, kind and unobtrusive! My only negative comment is that I had a glass of wine and it was a bit overpriced compared to the rest of the prices I experienced in Thailand for wine, in saying that it was a perfectly nice glass of wine and I wouldn't let that put you off. This hotel is a gem of a hotel and I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in Chiang Mai!"

Tugu Lombok: "A Paradise on Heart"

"We've seen quite a few big and luxurious resorts, but we are sure that our stay at Tugu Lombok will remain in our minds like one of the most amazing. We stayed 2 nights in this slice of heaven and everything was absolutely perfect! The private beach is one of the most beautiful white sand beaches we’ve ever seen. The hotel not only offers kayaks and a Stand Up board free of charge but also all the Snorkel equipment providing us an absolutely mesmerizing experience exploring the sea. Our Villa, 106, was the second closest Villa to the main swimming pool. Only a green lawn separates the beach from the back garden where we had our own private swimming pool. The room was so big it feels like staying in a castle and had one of the biggest beds we have ever slept, where we were woken up every morning with a perfect sunrise. The bathroom is integrated in the garden where there was a big fishpond with Shower and bathtub outside surrounded by nature. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming serving us with a real smile and warmth. The food was exceptionally good. The breakfast and afternoon tea were delicious and best of all, we got to enjoy it anywhere we wanted. The hotel complex is huge and it is lovely to wander around. Everywhere we found pieces of Indonesian culture and art. Every time we went around we discovered a new lovely spot. We fell in love by this hotel! Absolutely everything was stunning. We will definitely recommend it to friends and family."

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Delightful Boutique Hotel"

The Tharhara Inle Heritage Hotel is a delight. I don’t give 5 stars lightly, but this one deserves it. A small boutique hotel comprising just 10 individual cottages on stilts, at the southern end of Inle Lake. They do everything right from an environmental / cultural perspective. The hotel serves as a training ground for students in the hospitality industry. It grows its own vegetables in a sustainable manner. It encourages conservation. It houses a Burmese cat rehabilitation project. Highly recommended as a base to tour the sights and cottage industries of southern Inle.

The Hue House: "Roof restaurant Tops it in Ho Chi Min City"

"This roof top restaurant is a lovely spot in district 3. You wouldn't know it was there as the front of it looks like an office block. Look for the Masters Building in Tran Cao Van (just around the corner from the Novotel Hotel). Food was sensational together with great service from our waiter Anh Phuc. It has a lovely ambience and decor with a great drinks / food variety menu catering for all tastes.We went there twice whilst in HCMC, highly recommend this restaurant. We didn't book either time and was able to get in easily . My tip: try the Ga Nurong Dan Toc A Luoi - grilled Chicken"
