Villa Song Saigon: "Luxury in a crazy city"
We stayed 2 nights on our way to do Son Doong. This is a wonderful boutique hotel full of French charm. The pool, gym and rooms all well equipped. The breakfast by the river was a lovely start to the day you just wonder down anytime you like. We used the free sped boat to the city which we found easy and fun. We had dinner at the restaurant one night and the food was awesome together with fantastic service. My only complaint would be the restaurant just didn't have the same charm as the rest of this beautiful hotel.Tandjung Sari: "Luxurious"
Unfortunately we only had one night here...it was so beautiful and authentic, the staff so friendly, perfect location and our room was a true haven of indulgence. The dancers, at the dinner show, were the best we saw and were truly amazing. Buffet dinner was good too.Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Принцесса Араканского царства"
"Из Ситтве, до которого надо лететь на самолёте воспользуйтесь либо предложением отеля : доехать на лодке с включёнными напитками и едой либо наймите скоростную моторную лодку, так как сьэкономите часа 3 . Приплыв в Мраук-У - столицу древнего Араканского царства Вы не пожалеете в любом случае о потраченном времени на дорогу. Древность, этническая самобытность и красота этих мест потрясает. За такими впечатлениями люди гоняются по всему миру!!! А остановиться нужно без сомнения в MRAUK OO PRINCESS Resort. Почему ? Этот отель, несмотря на его роскошь, не сделает Вас ,,белыми колонизатором"", отделив Ваш мир от внешнего , а гостеприимно погрузит в волшебную атмосферу Араканского царства. Хотела бы вернуться сюда ещё Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Paradise on earth in God’s own country!"
This was our 2nd visit to Neeleshwar Hermitage but this time with our extended family of 15 with the oldest being 79 yrs & the youngest 9 yrs. Neeleshwar has still maintained the high standards it has set for itself. We had the whole resort for ourselves as there was no one else the 1st 2 days. Located on the beach in the Arabian Sea, this resort is an ideal place for a quiet holiday with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & a big thanks to Jayan & his team for making our holiday that much more relaxing. Will definitely come back.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "An amazing cultural experience"
"I had the most amazing time. The Blue Mansion is a magnificent relic that has been beautifully restored. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in history and culture. The staff were super friendly and the tour guide provided so much information. The people who bought the Mansion and saved it from being torn down should be congratulated. Stayed January 2017, traveled solo"MesaStila: "Best Start to 2017"
"MesaStila really IS a wonderful place to stay in. My husband and I came for a short 2 nights 3 days break on the Escapism package and it was just heavenly. We live in Jakarta and coming here for a break from the city was just magical. A quick flight to Semarang from the new terminal 3 and we were met by the MesaStila car and driver at the airport. We were soon at the Resort and what a change from what we had left in in Jakarta. The air is clean, the scenery beautiful (constantly changing landscape on the days we were there with blue sky and white clouds, sometimes early mist, a brief lightning storm) and the grounds of the resort are so peaceful. We felt close to nature and yet pampered by the staff and the facilities. The Spa treatments were the best we have ever had and the attention to detail to the decor and the therapy rooms ensures a thoroughly relaxing experience. We stayed in room 204 which was a quaint villa. Styled perfectly, with a fourposter bed, plenty of seating options, a verandah to relax outside with a book, stained glass windows, old fashioned bathroom yet all the modern needs you would expect in a hotel room. We ate all our meals at MesaStila and the selection is amazing. The food was fresh, presented beautifully and so tasty. The quality was 5 star! We even managed to squeeze in a sunrise tour to Borobudur arranged by the staff. There is a long list of options of tours you can take which the reception staff will arrange for you. Thank you to the staff and management for ensuring we had a great mini vacation. We will be planning a return trip before the end of the year. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Maduzi Hotel: "Oasis in busy Bangkok"
"Had an enormously big beautifully designed suite and an amazing stay at this peaceful place in the middle of mad Bangkok. Hotel has been designed with a good feeling for space and feng shui and even though it is a few years old, it is an intimate and personal place and feels, like you are staying at someone's private palace. Nice restaurants just around the corner, very close to BTS via Exchange Tower and there is parking for about 20 cars within the walls of the property, which is very unusual for Bangkok I believe. Next time in Bangkok we will be happy to stay here again. Thank you for everybody from the staff, who made our stay very special!"Inle Princess Resort: "wonderful stay"
this location is way off the beaten track. Not very popular but worth the trip to see how these people live and flourish while literally living on the river in different villages. Fishing and floating farms provided the sustenance. Hotel was excellent, good food and lovely accommodations. You take boat trips to get around this huge lake. Lots of fun.Manda De Laos: "A very special place"
"Having booked our table here some time ago we were hoping for something out of the ordinary to remember our stay in Luang Prabang by. The special table we were given certainly lived up to our highest expectations and the food was just sublime. We thought the meal we had at another restaurant the previous night was excellent but the food at Manda de Laos took us to a different level. Claiming to be an authentic taste of Laos we can only confirm that this is cooking to a very high standard comparable to any we have eaten whilst travelling around the pworld. The suggested menu, describing it as fixed would do it a disservice, was delicious with wonderful flavours throughout the meal. Staff were attentive, friendly and courteous and described each element with knowledge and passion. There are some who will and have commented on the cost here but knowing the cost of things whilst not appreciating their value is one of life’s biggest mistakes. Let us just say it was good value and leave it there. This is a must visit restaurant in Luang Prabang so go all out for the Manda de Laos suggested menu, and we hope, like us, you find it as enjoyable and memorable as we did."David’s Kitchen: "Birthday Treat"
What a great find not far in a taxi just outside the old city. It was my birthday and we wanted to go somewhere special and were not disappointed . Amazing setting, great decor , great welcome , attentive but not over bearing staff and lovely to meet David . It is expensive but we all know you get what you pay for. At the end of our 2 month trip in Asia but if we comeback to Chiang Mai we will certainly be eating here again regardless of having a birthday. Attention to detail shines through here.
