The River Resort: "Wonderful service and a great hotel in every respect"

Review by: European123 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We came to the River Resort after a somewhat disappointing Mekong Cruise and felt we had landed in heaven. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was modern, the view of the river was beautiful. Dinner was excellent and since we had to leave before the restaurant opened in the morning they gave us a very good breakfast box. It is definitely a place we would stay at again."

Le Calao: "Fabulous!"

Review by: Gillian G | Source: Trip Advisor
Visited on our last night in Luang Prabang and it was the best meal we had there. It was a cold night so we had to wrap up but we had a table with fabulous views over the river. The food and service were superb. Just wish we had discovered it on our first night then we could have visited again!

flower island: "Flower Island: what a dream place to be !"

Review by: Emilio2024 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Flower Island, a beautiful, serene paradise you do not want to leave, and if you have to do so by the end of your stay, you might have a little tear in your eyes... just beautiful in all respects ! The very friendly, helpful staff, the situation on this untouched island, the absolute beautiful beach, the happy, clean and pleasant ""house"" dog with its 2 puppies, the good food... what can one say more. The Flower Island..almost out of this world. One of the best places I have seen. Anytime again, better sooner then later!"

Supanniga Eating Room: "Great Food that makes me wanna be a Thai"

Review by: Teresa L | Source: Trip Advisor
I just can't take my eyes off the menu, huge variety of dishes and hold on, what is this? How come I have never seen such kind of food in BKK restaurants? My eyes just open wide when the friendly staffs serve the dishes on the table. Just love how the food is arranged meticulously on Thai-style plate. Truly authentic Thai recipes, simple ingredients but overwhelming taste. Could suppaniga launch cooking class? :P

The Hue House: "A charming secret place for a great Hue cuisine!"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: Trip Advisor
Not easy to find... and that makes it intriguing...beautiful setting and view from the roof top (10F) of a building with a lovely garden and decoration. Warm and friendly service. and great traditional dishes from Hue... a Must try experience if you like secret places !

The Cabochon Hotel: "Intimate and tranquil boutique hotel in perfect location"

Review by: Zubbert | Source: Trip Advisor
"We loved the Cabochon hotel and it's warm and friendly staff. The hotel has only eight rooms and suites in a superbly decorated French colonnial style inspired building. Wooden doors, door handles, light switches, quirky collectors items, they all are perfectly curated to add to the colonial feel. Apperently the building itself is a new structure which I only found out by realising there's no way an older wooden building would be able to carry a huge swimmingpool like the luxurious rooftoppool of the Cabocho I read another reviewer mentioning the pool as a small one. I do not know in what hotels some people might stay but the Cabochon pool is in my opinion huge! It covers the entire roof of the hotel (20-25m pool?), and is perfectly fine to do some fine swimming exercises. Another great detail which I loved is that there is no reception desk like in a regular hotel, just a tiny 'office'. From the frontdoor you step into the hallway immediately which leads to the central staircase. This also adds to the homely feel of the Cabochon. Check in is in the lounge area/Joy luck club where also breakfast is being served. You can also have your breakfast on the veranda which is great. The staff we loved. They immediately made us feel at home, spoke english well and were really helpful. Furthermore the location can't be better, at the end of a short quiet soi (alley) that leads directly to Sukhumvit Road with two skytrain stations within a five minute walk. Yes, the regular rooms are not that big but for us it just did add to the intimate feel of our stay here. It felt very special our three nights over at the Cabochon, highly recommended."

Misool Eco Resort: "We love Misool"

Review by: Carolyn H | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was our second trip to Misool - our first with our children in tow. Misool is a wonderful place with stunning diving and very good service. We were lucky enough to be upgraded from two water cottages for our family of five to the Utara villa, which is amazing (thank you!). There is nothing as captivating as watching baitfish launch themselves above the reef to escape predators or the bioluminescence that sparkles in the new moon of Misool. Our kids had wonderful snorkeling excursions - even our youngest (5 years old) saw mantis shrimp, sharks, sea turtles and sea snakes (required a bit of a boat ride - sea snakes require fresh water). The dive guides are wonderful. We especially love Kiikii (from our first trip), Nofi (snorkel guide) and Jemy (our dive guide this time). Uni got us advanced open certified and cannot thank her enough. I would encourage travelers to coordinate with on the ground staff to ensure your desires/hopes/dreams are understood. We had a few hiccups. we love the mission and vision of everyone at Misool. Highly recommend."

Rachamankha: "Beautiful Boutique Hotel"

Review by: blakeHK | Source: Trip Advisor
"Location is within the square but a little bit out of the main shopping and food areas in the old town of Chiang Mai. However it is only a 10-12 minute walk into the main central food areas and this slight isolation gives the hotel a sense of pure tranquility that is difficult to find in this bustling little city. Another bonus is the hotel is right next to one of our favourite temples (Phra Singh Temple) The property itself is pure class; the courtyard is stunning and there is plenty of places on the property to relax and read a book or take in the amazing architecture, art and culture that is oozing from this gorgeous hotel. The pool is beautiful and again another great place to relax and unwind. The staff are friendly but not over bearing which we found perfect. Sometimes staff can get a little too familiar but not in this case. The restaurant was fabulous and the breakfasts although not large were perfect to set up the day. There were a few things that were not 100% but over all we were very happy with our stay and would certainly go back. The WiFi on the property was not strong and would often drop but luckily we bought a pocket WiFi so wasn't a big issue. Although the staff did spray often there were many mosquito's around but we bought some bug spray at the local 7/11 and used it in the room before we left each evening. Also the rooms were appointed with mosquito nets which was great. There was also a real lack of power points in the room. I would take a power bar with you if you are expecting to charge anything more than a phone...but I guess this place is for relaxing and not for electronics ;)"
