Inle Princess Resort: "How disappointing"

Review by: rodgs | Source: Trip Advisor
"We travelled by car to the resort because our boat transfer was cancelled due to poor weather. We finally arrived at the resort down a dirt track and parked under a lean to. We were greeted by a young gentleman who said he would take us to our room. I had to ask if we were in the right place as it looked nothing like the photos on the net. He assured me it was. As we progressed, it soon became obvious that we had come in the back entrance. Our feelings went from total disappointment to one of elation. Check in was simple and efficient. Our room was clean and spacious. I could comment that there was not enough light in the room, but the intimacy it provides is all part of the charm of the place. The staff were most helpful in all areas and their genuine happiness could not be faulted. Like most of Myanmar at this stage, the SMALL imperfections in most places when compared with other 5star establishments in the rest of the world are what makes its charm. The breakfast offering is most probably a bit average but adequate. We would happily stay again and have no problem recommending it for any other couple."

MesaStila: "A hidden treasure"

Review by: RSArinta | Source: tripadvisor.com
MesaStila wellness spa is an ideal getaway from the daily routines. The environment is pleasant, the view is gorgeous (I got a direct view of mount Telamaya from my villa), both the management and the crew are fully client service oriented and there are ample of activities prepared for guests throughout the days to keep us occupied, and the daily yoga classes is the winner for me.

Sea Dance Resort: "A gem of a hotel"

Beautiful quiet resort not far from the liveliness of Chaweng. A very personal service from the best staff ever, who used our first names. Great breakfast & fabulous food, especially the set menu on Weds.

Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic"

Review by: Debbie T | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at Villa Song Saigon for the final 3 nights of a 21 day tour it was the perfect place to finish a very busy holiday. The room although quite small had a very large patio which we used to read and listen to music. The beds a pillows were so so comfortable and the shower had great pressure. The breakfast was Al a Carte with a good selection of Asian and European. The evening meals were good but not great and quite expensive but in saying that we ate there two out of the three nights! We sat and had our meals by the river what a pleasant way to eat. The staff were friendly attentive and helpful and the level of cleanliness 100% Although the hotel was in district two a water taxi was provided free of charge to drop us off and bring us back from the city. There are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance from hotel"

Rachamankha: "Perfect choice for a short getaway"

Review by: Maura G | Source: Trip Advisor
"Love this hotel in the old city of Chiang Mai. It was designed under Chinese influences. Rooms are comfortable. Some rooms have little porches. The pool is nice and quiet - there is 'service' (food/drink) around the pool area but the staff is not visible. The breakfast is lovely. You get a variety of choices from the menu."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Paradise on earth in God’s own country!"

Review by: shirishnv | Source: tripadvisor.com
This was our 2nd visit to Neeleshwar Hermitage but this time with our extended family of 15 with the oldest being 79 yrs & the youngest 9 yrs. Neeleshwar has still maintained the high standards it has set for itself. We had the whole resort for ourselves as there was no one else the 1st 2 days. Located on the beach in the Arabian Sea, this resort is an ideal place for a quiet holiday with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & a big thanks to Jayan & his team for making our holiday that much more relaxing. Will definitely come back.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Great place"

Review by: donp425 | Source: Trip Advisor
The pier is the star attraction, best place in Kep to experience sunset and because of the small amount of rooms available the resort is never crowded, there are always available beds around the pool. All in all affording a feeling of exclusivity rarely experienced at larger resorts.

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

Review by: amberthed0g | Source: tripadvisor.com
"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."

Jing’s Residence: "Sublime"

Review by: 358Paul62 | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed in the master suite which was stunning with its 200 year old beams and tastefully designed room. Service from all the staff was excellent especially Imam who couldn't have been more helpful. Meals were also good and the location excellent.

The Village House: "Wonderful boutique accommodation"

Review by: GayleHerrera | Source: Trip Advisor
"Had a wonderful stay at the Village House. It has all the right ambience for a stay in Sarawak. Ideal for visitors who want to trek Mt Santubong, as they provide a shuttle going to and back from the start of the trail. The breakfast included in your room payment is fantastic and their lunch and dinner menu are just right if you want to try Malay and local cuisine. Room Tip: Rooms near the pool are ideal if you like the sound of flowing water"
