Manda De Laos: "Tasty of Lao Royal Authentic cuisine with nature view of Heritage Lotus Pond"
The food at Manda de Laos was super great and amazing, nice ambiance with friendly service by lovely staffs at the restaurant. I think the price is suitable on what you get. If I have chance to visit Luang Prabang, I definitely go back to this place. Lastly, I love banana ice cream :)Jing’s Residence: "A truly unique experience."
The hotel is made of a beautiful set of buildings in the style of old courtyard architecture. The rooms are extremely comfortable and you do not hear a sound. The common areas, dining room, bar, library, are decorated with remarkable taste. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. A unique experience!The Cabochon Hotel: "French Indochine Chic"
This hotel is set in an elegant period building down a quiet lane. It has a 1920s period styling with a bit of big game hunter and French colonialism thrown in for good measure. It's not an all-out luxury hotel. It's more an experience hotel, and I had a great experience. IT's like going back in time to a by-gone period which a jarring and interesting juxtaposition from the hustle and bustle happening less than 100m on Sukhumvit. Choose this for a unique boutique experience in central Bangkok.misool: "Paradise!!!"
After 8 flight connections and a 4 hour boat ride from the US, this place was just paradise! The passion that these 2 individuals have for this area of the world is evident in their respect and protection of the ecobalance of nature...from the use of only fallen logs for the buildings and furniture to the use of natural bacteria and plant life to filter the water services. The food was wonderful with a local influence and nice variety. The staff were from the surrounding and some far away villages and so very friendly. (...) Our dive guides on our boat, Marafel and Ferry, were so great to hang out with. So fun and friendly, and knowledgeable of the reefs and fishes! They even rescued our camera after we got excited with the mantas on our safety stop. Even though we don't know their names, all the behind the scenes staff were wonderful in making this vacation so relaxing and exciting at the same time! Even if you're not a diver, the house reef is wonderful for snorkeling and the view from the water cottages is breathtaking! We would go back in a heartbeat and I urge you to go and see this piece of paradise for yourself!! Terri F., St Jacob, ILCuisine Wat Damnak: "Must visit"
"The moment you step into the place, you know you are in for a treat and then the food starts coming and it taste like heaven. All the dishes were explained nicely by the waiters and the quantity for the six course was just right. They even did a vegetarian menu for my wife and as per her, it was the best vegetarian meal she ever had. Ps: do try their cocktails."Tugu Malang: "Tempo Doeloe feeling"
The hotel is a mixture of luxury and history. The rooms give a feel of the "good" (only for the Dutch) colonial old times, with the hand hammered baths. And the whole atmosphere is the hotel is friendly and service minded. The for is excellent and the hotel itself has a fantastic mix of antiquities within its walls (Chinese (most), Dutch and Indonesian. It was a pleasure going to the rooms with my 17 year old daughter and see her recognize drawings and pictures of Kublai Kahn and Sun Yat Sen. Great hotel.Villa Song Saigon: "Stunning start to our honeymoon"
This is a gorgeous place to stay. Rooms are very comfortable, limitless breakfast whenever you want and the staff can't do enough for you. Shame the shuttle boat was out of action but the management did not hesitate to reimburse for our taxis to and from town. Highly recommended.Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A cracking place. True hidden gem"
"No point in rebooting all of the positives from previous reviews. Hard to fault this place. The food is simply superb. The staff are friendly and thoughtful. The pool is beautiful with wonderful ocean views. Rooms clean and comfortable. If you like swimming in the sea, this is not the place for you. If swimming in the sea is not your thing, then you must come here. A great team will welcome you with open arms. Location is a little off the beaten track, but it is very possible that you won't want to leave. Thanks to Poi, Faith and Helen and the team for looking after us and our two little girls for the week. It will live in the memory for sure and we will be recommending to friends for sure."Arumdalu: "Lovely and peaceful"
We had the resort to ourselves for 4 days.If you want some fresh air and peace and quiet this is the place to come! Beautiful beach and lovely staff! Just watch out for the sandflies. Two days would probably be ideal.Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Sublime😍😍😍"
"Après 3jours de trek entre Kalaw et Inle le luxe d'un endroit comme celui ci mérite tous les sacrifices ...! Je n'avais pas le budget pour un hôtel comme celui ci mais je savais que l'emplacement avais un prix et ça les vaut puisque cette reconstruction de maison intha sur pilotis et juste sublime !!! Loin de tous les touristes !!! J'adore L'équipe et au petit soin pour vous de quoi vous faire passé un moment inoubliable ,j'en ai pleuré en partant ...! De la literie en passant par le Resto ,la boutique , la réintroduction des burmise cat et surtout le concept d'une vrai action pour le changement dans le bon sens avec ses étudiant en hôtellerie et leur mobilisation pour une nature intacte ...! RIEN A redire !!!! Juste PARFAIT Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"
