Satri House: "Colonial splendor a walking distance from the historical center"
Satri House is a charming colonial style hotel in Luang Prabang in a quiet area of the city. It is a walking distance from the historical center and if you wish some bicycles are as well free of charge at your disposal in the hotel. You can just ask for a lock at the reception. The hotel complex is highly elaborated with some charming rooms in the new part of the property in colonial like buildings that look just like they were conceived at the French colonial period. One older building was the official house of the Laos Crown Prince and you can stay there in three suites with antique furnitures. A pond with lotus flowers, many tress give to the place a very romantic touch. A restaurant with a talented Lao female Chef is at your disposal for delicious meals Lao or Western. Breakfast is served there at your convenience. The staff is particularly nice and friendly and will always do their best to assist you. Take time to have a talk with them as they love to practice foreign languages. The managing director is a young european guy who is very welcoming and will help you make your stay unique. Take time to wander around Luang Prabang and enjoy your time in the hotel itself (the place is great for romance ! Keep it in mind)Le Calao: "Delightful, a future icon of Luang Prabang."
With colleagues we hosted a small event at Le Calao over 3days. This is the newest addition to Luang Prabang's dining scene and the very high standard of service, impeccable attention to details and excellent food will ensure the future of Le Calao I am sure. The perfect venue for small meetings in their upstairs dining room and the perfect venue for intimate dining downstairs or on the terrace. And a superb location overlooking the river. Thank-you to Gilles, Yannick and the team for a perfectly managed and catered 3days. I will be back.Tugu Lombok: "Magnificent, Fantastic, Private"
The staff and service is amazing. The look and feel of the resort is unique and very beautiful. They have two swimming pools and the bigger one has a beautiful view and is big enough. The rooms are decorated very well and fresh flowers are placed in the rooms. For a peaceful getaway, I would surely return here.Supanniga Home: "Nice peaceful homey relaxing place in winter"
My family visit here in winter. we will come back again. Love it. Nice food and service. Unbelievable tradition delicious Eastern Thai food in Konkean(a North-East province). Recommend you to visit here in winter.Dewakan: "Three Stars or 3 Hats….. in our books"
"""The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply"" - Kahlil Gibran. This perfectly sums up what Darren Teoh and his team at Dewakan are doing. I profess guilty to being surrounded with these wonderful ingredients and yet be clueless as to their potential. Darren is taking these humble ingredients, injecting playful creativity and reintroducing them into the fore where they belong. Here one can expect to have boundaries challenged, pushed and yet moulded into familiarity. In this off the beaten path kitchen, flavours and textures are being routinely forged. Whilst I appreciate that everyone has their own personal opinion of good food, I suggest preconceptions be left at the door. This is my second visit to Dewakan and once again I leave in awe of mother natures bounty in the hands of a true maestro. "Bassac Mekong Delta Cruises by Secret Retreats: "Do it! Best experience you can have on the Mekong!"
Just returned from the 2 day, one night cruise on the Bassac - and I want to give my warmest recommendation. The cruise is excellent value for money, the staff extremely friendly and the food is one of the best we have eaten all over SE Asia. If you want to spend two relaxed days on a little ship - choose this company! The cozy cabins are spotless clean and you even got air conditioning. The company is managed by a French owner so everything is up to the highest European standard. Even if you think the price is steep - it is worth every penny! Thanks for everything!Slow Villas and Spa: "You have to stay there ! Perfect"
Slow Private Pool Villas is the perfect place to stay on Gili Air ! Everything is perfect ! The breakfast, the staff, the boss, the private pool, the bed, the bathroom, the location, the hôtel ! Everything is perfect and you can book there with your eyes closed. It's a place like no other on earth. It will be an unforgetable stay !!! Waouw just go there and enjoy the life. Also it's a plce where they ban completely plastic in the Hôtel, then really good concept too ! Congratulations to all the staff and Julie.Sea Dance Resort: "Amazing"
"Very impressive! I had the most amazing stay! I was originally booked in for 2 nights I checked out only to return 2 hours later.. I spent the most idyllic 8 nights at the Seadance, I desperately needed to recharge. The resort is peaceful and calm. Every one knows your name and treats you like a friend not just a hotel guest.. Nothing was too much trouble, any request taken care of! I stay in hotels/resorts at least once a week for business the Sea Dance with its understated elegance out does many! Thank you to Faith, Helen,John and Danny You were all amazing! I very much enjoyed your company. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome, I was so sad to leave. I will be back again soon. Tina"Sandat Glamping Tents: "Heaven on earth"
Decadent, Eco friendly accommodation with a difference- I booked two of their tents which included private pools. My family spent one night. They provide a very flexible shuttle into Ubud, with wonderful drivers. We were picked up in Seminyak and the dropped to our next accommodation in Sanur, all preorganised via the internet- really a must do.The Apsara Rive Droite: "Simply amazing – the hotel’s current rating does not do it justice!"
"If serenity, excellent service and a small boutique hotel is what you after, then this is definitely the #1 hotel in Luang Prabang. - nine guest rooms - swimming pool - literally five minutes to old town Luang Prabang by private boat but far enough to get away from the noise and the traffic - personalized on-site management - staff that go the extra mile to make you feel special - no televisions in guest rooms - intimate breakfast environment My wife described our short holiday as an unexpected second honeymoon. Thank you to Mr Hann and staff!"
