The Samar: " Fantastic place to stay and Go Around to See Temples and City Center"
"I definitely enjoyed my stay there,it is actually very convenient to go around,to visit temples,explore city center and have a walk around. It is a very quite place,a sanctuary to hide yourself. Perfect place for family. "Locavore: "Best dining experience ever had"
Perfection! Each course was an explosion of color and flavor. True art. Though small portions, this allowed you to try each dish without getting full and get to enjoy to the end. In the end, you were satiated with a 2 1/2hr performance. The kitchen had more chefs than customers. Each with own role and working calmly and harmoniously as a team. This was very impressive how they created art! Would definitely go again.The Island Lodge: "Different in a good way"
"An amazing one night stay in the Island Lodge, lovely welcome and led to a beautiful appointed room with separate shower room, toilet and large balcony overlooking infinity pool and river scenes beyond. Attentive service and lovely food, in a very unique setting. So relaxing. Do not hesitate to book this experience when visiting the Mekong Delta. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Heritage Suites Hotel: "A peaceful relax!"
"After spending one day visited temples of Angkor then back to hotel while offering a very special rate for me, I had an unforgettable stay with superlative decor and art designs inspired by Angkor style. I met the staff who are very warmth greeted and welcoming with a refresh drinks, i was enjoying with breakfast they served blending with master chef. Pool was huge and very refreshing moment with nice garden, the pool bar was also attracting. I would return back for the next visit to Angkor Wat."Villa Song: "Trusty amazing"
"Exceptional experience at Villa Song Saigon. Wonderful staff, amazing location by Saigon River and great restaurant. The Suite was nothing to compare. Highly recommendable and will come back. Thank you Vill Song Saigon."Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Fantastic Peranakan Experience"
Very beautiful place with a rich history to it. The close-to-Pernankan experience was awesome with a rich architecture and straits born designs! Food was good. Breakfast selection limited but rest assured that it's very tasteful! Service was excellent esp Shiro who made our stay more than wonderful than it already was! I will definitely go back again!Tugu Malang: "A unique museum hotel"
I was staying here after a long motor ride from Surabaya and spoiled myself with all the beautiful interior furniture that has been chosen carefully. Some vintage and antique wall wood working and painting make this hotel looks like a museum with all the art being put there. Every room and chamber has its own design. Mixture between Javanese, Balinese wood furniture and old colonial building. A unique bathroom with vintage stainless bath tub and sink, also nice packaging of the amenities put another credit for this hotel. Some of the room is made for a real museum with all the ancient chinese ceramic pottery, bronze sculptures, silver dining set, small statue aged hundreds years which decribe the owner must be a filthy rich collectors. But I don't really like the part of the hotel which made as mediteranian middle east concept that seems bland and unmatch comparing to the other parts of the hotel. In the afternoon they serve various local tea and coffee, herbal drink and traditional snack for free for the guest staying in the hotel. Overall, I am quite satisfied staying there even only one night. Worth the value of money.Maison Polanka: "Hidden Garden Gem with classic French Charm"
"Greeted at Siam Reap airport by Frances, a very pleasant young man from Masion Polanka private Villas, the chauffeur van waiting, was very comfortable and spacious. Being whisked away through the pleasant Cambodian countryside, arriving at Maison Polanka where a large security gate opened up the most tranquil garden tucked away within 5 minutes of Siam Reap town. We strolled through to reception, a cabana located by the large enticing pool, being greeted by local staff with refreshing hand towels and a long cool drink. Nothing was too much trouble for them, we were given Khmer House a stand-alone elevated original colonial home relocated some years ago to this site, that complemented the master house with its four self-contained luxury rooms. Our stay was magical, the food memorable, the decor was elegant and traditional, with a simple and personal touch from Nathalie (the owner) adding a splash of colour to each room is unique in its creation, Nathalie selects these from her collection of fabric designs out of her stores. We took cooking classes with Maison's Chef and relaxing massages on site, along with local tours to Ankor Wat and many other historic sites. Arriving back for afternoon tea by the pool every day at 3 Pm with freshly baked treats from the kitchen. Maison Polanka fulfilled every expectation of a luxurious holiday and more, we felt very special. Thank you so much for sharing your small space in paradise, we were so sad to have to move on continuing our holiday in Cambodia."Jing’s Residence: "Great Property"
The highlight of our trip to Pingyao was experiencing Jing's Residence. The accommodations, staff, food, and service were 5 star all the way. Mr. Hadianas, the General Manager, and his excellent staff made you feel like one of the family. It is the ONLY place to consider when staying in Pingyao. Experience authentic old world charm while luxuriating in modern conveniences and amenities. A truly wonderful property. I highly recommend it.Satri House: "Super relaxing"
Very comfortable rooms and good location. Service is impeccable and the whole setting is extremely relaxing. The staff are very helpful for everything and the breakfast is superb, unique and very colonial. Wonderful swimming pool too. Highly recommend it.
