Satri House: "Stunning"

"We stayed at Satri house for 3 Nights a few weeks ago. It is the most outstanding hotel I think we have ever stayed in, everything about it is beautiful our room, the surroundings, the food, the staff(nothing was to much trouble) I wanted to live there!!. Our room was tucked away in a corner with its own little courtyard and was so peaceful. Satri house is full of its own special charm and a fabulous place to retreat to after a hot day sightseeing around Luang Prabang, I think I left a little piece of my heart there. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Bali: "Magical grounds and delightful staff"

We loved our Dedari Suite with the private pool. Our favorite feature was the beautiful and peaceful indoor/outdoor shower - I've never enjoyed washing up more! The grounds were lovely, and the location right next to Batu Bolong Beach was great for surf lessons. Every single staff member was welcoming and friendly, and they truly went out of their way to help us get the most out of our stay.

The Island lodge: "Gorgeous retreat along the Mekong River; exceptional staff"

Gorgeous retreat along the Mekong River. We stayed in one of the garden bungalows and had such a peaceful and lovely time after our frenetic few days in Ho Chi Minh City. The hotel grounds are beautiful with wonderful landscaping of the lush, natural greenery. Breakfast is included and is taken in the open air lounge looking onto the pool and the river. The pool itself is beautiful with plenty of loungers and a good mix of sun and shade, and you can watch the Mekong River drift by as you enjoy a drink from the bar a few steps away. The staff at The Island Lodge really made the whole experience extra special - everyone was so kind and welcoming to my husband and I during our stay. Chau (the manager) was absolutely the best - she was so helpful and attentive to all of our requests, coordinating with her staff to ensure we were well taken care of the entire time. She gave us recommendations of local restaurants and some sightseeing places in My Tho, too, when we wanted to venture out, and helped arrange our transportation. The hotel is very secluded and a bit out of the way from the town and other attractions but for this kind of property I believe that is sort of the point. We chose to stay here for a few days between Ho Chi Minh and a river cruise leaving from Can Tho. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan to go to the Mekong Delta area (it’s worth a stay on its own, even if you DIDN’T already plan on coming to the area)!

Flower Island: "Gorgeous, stylish resort with a strong personal touch"

"Stayed three nights here last week, and had an unforgettable time. I think what sets this apart from some of the top end resorts is the personal touch and the tasteful, considered aesthetic. The cottages and restaurant are set back behind the palm trees so as not to create an imposing man made frontage. The use of natural objects like sea shells, bamboo and palms feels, along with the 'ethnic' decor somehow feels more inspired than the cliched attempts you usually see in these sorts of places. (....)the island does genuinely create a special sort of intimacy and calm. I really can not speak highly enough of this place."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Amazing experience"

"It was my first time to go ""glamping"" with my family and we have certainly set the standard very high by staying at 4Rivers. The rooms/tents were phenomenal - they were very well kept and had everything we could possibly need to have a comfortable rest after a day's adventure. The food was also great - the best we had in Cambodia! The service was fantastic - polite and gracious at every turn - from front desk, to housekeeping, to the chef and to the manager - everyone made sure that we had a lovely stay - and that we surely did. We were also fortunate enough to meet some of the elders from the local community and were able to better appreciate 4Rivers' strong corporate social responsibility. Needless to say, we had a memorable and amazing experience and can't wait to be back."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Recently rewarded with the title “best coastal Resort in Asia” , the Neeeshwar hermitage"

"This 16 bungalows counting hermitage , amidst a brilliant southern flowering garden, Looking to the Arabian sea, is really a shining jewel on Malabar's coast. Very friendly competent staff, excellent food an very quiet surrounding. Healthy walks Along a sandy beach. Neeleswar hermitage ""for ever""!"

Slow Villas and Spa: "Worth it for the breakfast alone"

On a small island where there is so much choice it's hard to know where to choose. Slow Villas stood out for us because of the individual service and a taste of luxury they promised. The villas are full of everything you need, the outside/inside bathrooms are decorated to a high standard with stunning features and free toiletries. The pools are small but fine for two people to cool off in and the gardens are clean and well cared for. Breakfast was a real highlight which is served in your villa and was wonderfully fresh, colourful and plenty of choice. I also tried the spa which was extremely relaxing and well worth a visit if you have time! I didn't want to leave and hope I'll be back.

Tugu Bali: "Amazing holiday at beautiful hotel"

"Had a great week at Tugu over Christmas with family. The hotel is decorated with Balinese furniture and art, including in the rooms. Food was very good; nice choice at both the restaurant and for in-room dining. Rooms were first-class; we had a villa with private pool and it felt incredibly private. Service from the hotel staff was also excellent with great attention to make our stay very relaxing; all our needs were met including those from our impatient 5 yr old. Would definitely stay there again if we head down to Bali."

Maison Polanka: "Beautiful Haven in September"

"Over the years I have stayed at many 5 star hotels and resorts and unexpectedly this was by for my most enjoyable experience. Upon arrival the airport I was warmly welcomed by management staff and driver and after a short drive to the resort was overwhelmed by the lovely grounds and secure compound that the Maison Polanka is set in. My stay was booked for 5 nights with the 'Yellow Room Package' (highly recommended) and included 4 Dinners, Massages, Temple tours with one of Angkor's finest guides and my own personal Tuk-Tuk driver. This represented excellent value! The Yellow Room was perfect for me and much larger than it appeared in the photos I had seen. The room itself had a fantastic Khmer rustic charm with the modern conveniences that us Western travellers expect. The huge bathroom was separated from the main room by a small staircase. Excellent design! My biggest surprise of my stay here was the absolutely awesome dining. The traditional Khmer cook was amazing!!! Unbelievably fresh and authentic Khmer cuisine kept me dining here every night... Maison Polanka is a very special place and I would like to thank ALL the staff, guides and drivers for a brilliant Angkor experience. I will definitely return to this awesome haven!"
