The Cabochon Hotel: "Our second stay at Cabochon Hotel"
"I visited Cabochon with my 9 month old baby when I was travelling with him alone and had the warmest stay on my whole journey. Ten month later I returned together with my husband and son. Nothing had changed. Still, the friendliest care one can ever dream of in a hotel. This hide away makes Bangkok seem calm. I could once again start writing about how I love the interior, the breakfastroom, the food. But still, what ones again stayed in my memory was the throughout friendly, helpful, interested and cool staff. Absolutely one of a kind. Thank you Shaubai and you whole team! Malin, Alex and Lode"Inle Princess Resort: "Unique Location, Fantastic Accommodation and Service"
My wife and I spent two most enjoyable nights at this resort. Starting from the arrival by boat, and the gorgeous location, we were thoroughly impressed with what they had to offer. Accommodation is in individual chalet/cottage type units, that are very luxurious. Ours faced the Lotus Pond and the Lake. No motorized vehicles, by road or by water, are allowed in the area of the property where the guests are accommodated. The dining room faces the lake, and we were fortunate to be able to enjoy our meals on the patio. This is a resort not to be missed if one is visiting Inle Lake. Thank you all for making our stay in Myanmar most memorable. Wish our stay was longer!The Hue House: "Foodie heaven"
"The Hue House,for us, was unforgettable. The food is incredibly fresh, imaginative and plentiful. The staff are attentive but unobtrusive. We shared several plates, all on the advice of management and could not have been more impressed. The mixed entree (my favorite) Banh thap cam was full of flavor and variety and so very fresh. The little dumplings stuffed with shrimp & pork, on top of the stuffed, fried dough were sublime. I say add Cuon diep, the BBQ'd spare ribs, to the list of must tries but really,everything we tried was delicious. Hue cuisine is steeped in tradition and we're wishing restauranteur Huy Tran all the best in this latest venture and please,please bring it to Australia."Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Excellent! Just Excellent"
"I visited the Blue Mansion during one of the tour groups, and I was simply captivated by the rich story behind the building. Every single detail of the mansion was explained meticulously by the guides. I did the guided tour twice, and I was very impressed by the fact that the guides were genuinely passionate about the history of the building, as well as the history of George Town. I went back to the Blue Mansion for dinner at the restaurant upstairs. Again, I was impressed. the food was spectacular, the decor is kept minimal, so the natural beauty of the building can be appreciated. I particularly love that I get to have a drink at the balcony and stare at the beautiful sculptures up close! Definitely worth visiting. Again and again and again and again. Stayed September 2016, traveled with friends"Amata Lanna: "Excellent"
Great location, close to the night market and a quick tuk tuk ride to the old city. About a 25 min walk. Great service, clean room, large bedroom and bathroom made with teak wood. Would definitely stay here again!Villa Song Saigon: "The best hotel in Saigon"
"Our stay was wonderful, this is a truly beautiful hotel with great views of the river. The restaurant and food was terrific and most importantly the staff are extremely fantastic and also extremely helpful. In particular the managers were always great with helping out with referrals or last minute tours. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Unbelievable"
Wow just got back from week long stay at this resort .We stayed in See blue 2 it was amazing we slept with the doors open and just the sound of the serf crashing along the beach .We stayed in early November and were one of only thirteen people staying it was fantastic .Don't bother taking your nice shoes as no one where's shoes at dinner you leave them outside we spent the week barefoot .My husband booked the yoga with Alex and loved every minute of it .The restaurant served good food with a new menu everyday the fish was to die for and incredibly reasonable. Definitely do the beach BBQ it was good fun , food was fabulous.There are a good selection of wines and my husband tells me good beer. The owners three dogs were a source of good entertainment as was the monkeys Brenen is incredibly helpful with the wildlife and the trips are well worth taking if you can get of the sun bed .Everybody at Golden Budha is so helpful nothing is to much trouble .Thank youInle Princess Resort: "Loved it"
"I loved this hotel. Our chalets were huge and extremely comfortable, and I much appreciated the free minibar containing soft drinks. There were all the amenities you would expect, and the turn down service and cleaning of the rooms was excellent. The view across the lake was also splendid. We made good use of the spa, which has to have the most enormous treatment rooms anywhere. And the treatments were first class. The only thing that I would criticise are the steps into the bathroom and out to the outdoor shower from the room; the steps are all the same colour and in dim lighting merge into one another, with the result that we both tripped down them. A couple of white outlines on the steps would help enormously. There was a very nice bar area, which was extremely efficient and well-run. And the food in the restaurant was also good."Locavore: "A true culinary delight"
This restaurant features a choice of tasting menus which are probably the very best that I have tasted. We chose the 8 course menu which somehow ended up becoming 20 courses, courtesy of the restaurant. Don't worry, it is true "value for money" but if you are a true foodie - this is the place! I wanted to go back but we decided to try another place which disappointed us as Locavore made a huge impression the day before. Amazing taste sensation.Tugu Bali: "The best hotel ever"
"I was so surprised when i arrived in Tugu, since the first minute there they make you feel special. Welcome drink, free massage, free breakfast that i had once in my room and the other time in front of the beach. The staff are so nice and helpfull, the architecture of the building is amazing and the room for sure was the most beautiful that i have seen. Very happy with my stay at Tugu, for sure ill me back soon. "
