Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Exceptional stay in a very unique property"

"The property is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't stop taking pictures of all the intricate details. It felt surreal to wake up in such a beautiful hotel and I would definitely stay here again when I'm back in Penang. The room was spacious and comfortable with all amenities, a mini bar with free refreshments, daily fresh snacks like delicious cookies and other sweets, toiletries, big closets, a tv and a beautiful balcony perfect for enjoying my morning coffee. The breakfast was great with lots of choices. The fine dining restaurant Indigo is a must try! I recommend: the crispy duck leg and the coconut pineapple cake for dessert."

David’s Kitchen: "More than fine dining.. it was an unforgettable experience"

"To start, I NEVER write reviews.. but David, his staff, and the entire experience altogether surpassed our expectations! We were running thirty minutes late because of the taxi.. not even knowing if our reservation was still held (we didn’t bother getting SIM cards so we weren’t able to call.) As we arrived, we were personally greeted by David, himself! The conversation was far from your typical owner/manager greeting. He shared life stories, genuinely asked about our trip, and even gave us recommendations for the following city we were visiting. This, alone, was enough for us to come back if we were ever in the city again. The table was beautifully set with rose petals and a birthday greeting card. David’s “favorite” table definitely served its justice. I definitely felt special, as there were about four other birthdays that same night. The food was PHENOMENAL and boy, did we order a bunch of food/wine! Surf and turf is to die for!! As for the service, we were catered to like kings and queens. We aren’t very needy people at restaurants but let me tell you... one glance up and the waitress was ready to hurry over to our table! As I reread this paragraph, I realized that words really cannot justify to our exceptional experience. By far the best experience I had with ANY company that I’ve been a customer to. I promise you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you, David and staff!"

Villa Song Saigon: "Magnificent hotel and fantastic staff"

Villa Song really is an impressive hotel, set in pristine grounds on the banks of the Saigon River in District 2. My family and I had the most divine stay, which coincided with both of my parents' birthdays. In addition to the accommodating staff who were considerate of my family's needs, my parents were treated like royalty and were each presented with a beautiful bunch of flowers and a cake at breakfast. The rooms were fabulous and plush, the free mini bar was a really nice touch. We took the extremely convenient shuttle speed boat to the centre of town along the Saigon River and we also enjoyed an afternoon relaxing by the pool in luxury. Highly recommended place to stay, thank you so much to Ms. Thuy and all the staff for helping to make our stay so memorable.

Reverie Siam Pai: "Impeccable service with Kind thoughts from Management"

"The location is situated with quiet surrounding beside the river with a brilliant idea to have a pouch with lots of cushions to rest and wild away your time. The rooms are very clean and concept is cleverly designed with lots of space. Bed is high up and very comfortable get to the town, there are shuttle buggies service so convenient for guests. Breakfast is very good except its should have more varieties like local food instead of western menu.Staffs have provided impeccable service and knows what you want most of the time and always ready to provide a service. But the most most impressive and remarkable intiative that the hotel have provided is their kind thoughts and consideration for the the guests. I have a very unfortunate bike accident coming up to Pai with my wife and this is the first time I do this and unfamiliar with the poor condition of the dangerous and 762 curves. The first thing I checked in at this hotel, the staff at reception asked me whether i need to go to the hospital and will provide transport anytime to my convenienences. My wife and me were so miserable as our holidays was ruined by my stupidity act of this accident and left us unable to ride and go to place of interests. Our low morals is lightened up when the hotel reception staff told us that the Management is willing to provide us a one day tour of places of interest that we wish to go. Such kind thoughts from the management have sincerely touch of heart and we are so lucky in this way that we have no regrets chose to stay in this hotel. My Wife and I wishes the Management and all staff good health and prosperity."

Villa Song: "Lovely Saigon hotel in quiet location."

Quiet location right on river, lovely Colonial - style hotel with many pluses. Friendly, helpful staff with a high service ethic. Good dining experience, attractive room overlooking the Mekong. Own fast motor boat for complimentary speedy transfer to City.

Satri House: "A dive in to relaxation, strongly recommended"

"As you go in the Satri House you start to feel this ""aura"" of relaxation. The beautiful Prince house and all the other buildings in the same French colonial style immerse in a well maintained gardens and all the art-craft and decoration really had a huge impact on me. I had 4 nights in a deluxe room and got a nice upgraded to a suite for the last 2 nights. Suite comes with both shower and bath and is beautifully decorated. Food was delicious, my favorite is the roast duck in red curry! Service need some language improvement here and there but overall there is always someone coming to assist if they notice there is a bit of miss-communication. going on.. I didn't try the Spa neither the swimming pool, a bit too cold for me but people coming from European winter they did enjoyed the pool. Overall well done Satri House!"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "take me back to the 4rivers where the everything is green and the staff is pretty…awesome"

"Never would I ever have expected to find a 5* service in such a remote place. It is so remote that after you step on the boat in Tatai village, you won`t set foot on land for days. And that is mostly because the resort is 100% floating. Which makes it even more awesome. The staff there is simply amazing. The kind of service you would get in a top quality hotel in Europe. They will attend carefully to your every need. Even though you won`t need much being there. You are surrounded by a clean river and the river is surrounded by untouched jungle. Maybe one of the last virgin forests in Cambodia and the whole world. You can take a kayak and discover for yourself, or take the guided tours to the waterfall or to the mangrove forest. You can read books, swim in your own huge river kind of pool and enjoy the delicious food carefully prepared by the Filipino chef. Oh, and one more thing. Maybe the most important one. If you are into protecting the environment and having an eco holiday, this is the place for you. The management there is going over their head to keep almost everything clean. And by that I mean not polluting. The garbage bags are biodegradable, most of the buildings are made from recycled materials or using a clean technology, they strive to use mostly solar power, and even the toiletries that they provide are specially made not to disrupt the balance of the surrounding ecosystems. To sum it up, it`s a gem, one of a kind. It`s a floating heaven."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Paradise within paradise!"

"My 2-night stay at Slow Villas has been EXCEPTIONAL. I was looking to unwind and relax in Gili Air and I couldn't think of a better place to do just that. First of all, I love that it's eco-friendly! From bio-septic tanks to reusable water bottles, they are clear advocates of our environment. The Villas itself is very well-maintained. They provide just the right amount of of comfort and luxury. Every concept of the villas is centered around the guests comfort. The bed is huge and I love that it faces the pool-- perfect for lazy mornings. Our one-bedroom villa is HUGE, which even includes a garden. Although I'm not the type to sunbathe, it was nice to have it to ourselves. The pool is definitely amazing. It's not really a private villa without your private pool, is it. The service is great-- refillable water, fruits in your villa, breakfast at your own privacy, wifi, and a cable tv. They even add a little touch by providing a USB with movies just incase the cable is down. Simply amazing. Everything is top notch! Location wise, it's definitely on the isolated corner of the island, but it's perfect for couples like us who were were looking for pure tranquility. They truly lived up to their name. The instant I entered Slow, it was as if time froze and the rest of the world drifted away! Thank you Slow for a phenomenal experience!"

Tugu Bali: "Awesome hotel!"

"We stayed at tugu for the beginning of our honeymoon, the location is unbeatable we were in walking distance to the beach and to shops and great food. Staff was attentive and friendly and very helpful! We were mostly in town for surfing so we spent only evenings at the hotel but the pool gorgeous and the day beds close to The beach offer a great sunset view of the beach. We will be back hopefully!!"

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Family safari"

"We had a great time at Leopard Safaris. We were staying in a family tent with three children for two nights. We had some friends also staying on the site and the camp offered for the children to go in one jeep and the adults in the other. The children's jeep was looked after by Praneeth, who did a great job of entertaining them during the drives. We dined together and the food was great - all the staff are very friendly. The tents are authentic, giving the camping experience, while they have luxuries like two toilets and separate shower filled with hot water on the way back from the drives. Beds also very comfortable. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The drives were highly informative and we spotted a number of leopards and a sloth bear - particularly good was that most of the time we were away from the crowds. A nice touch was that Saj, who was managing the camp, was very happy to spend time with both adults and children while in camp - even being interviewed by the kids for their home made Yala documentary. An all round great experience and we'll be back some time soon! "
