4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Best TRIP EVAAA"
I really love this trip to Koh Khong. The hotel is amazing, more than my expectation. They created ways to help to protect the forest. I felt amazed after the trip and told everyone about it. Even though it's expensive, Miss Anna gave us a chance to have 3 days and 2 nights there for free. I can finally be one with nature and it's my first time to visit such an adventurous place that I wanted to be there forever. They helped the community and protected the environment there.Villa Song Saigon: "Wonderful Stay"
We stayed in the Sanctuary Suite and it was fabulous. The service was great and even if their English wasn't too good, they made up for it with their effort. Nothing was too small or big for them to make happen. The food was mostly good (some of the dinner items weren't my favorite), but you will meet their chef Kevin who is SO wonderful and an absolute gem of a human being. The pool was beautiful and a nice way to cool off in the hot Ho Chi Minh heat! They have a gym that is very small, but next door to the hotel is another hotel with a much better equipped gym (cardio and some weight machines as well as a separate free weights section). Overall, I would highly recommend this place to someone looking for a wonderful stay in Ho Chi Minh City.Locavore: "Worth every Rupiah"
On the top of our foodie list for Ubud was Locavore. Be sure to make a reservation and spend the xtra $ for the beverage package, which is carefully curated to enhance every bite of food. Not only does this team create art on a plate, but they have employed the best of Ubud..local ingredients + knowledgeable friendly staff = 1st class experience!!Flower Island Resort: "Amazing"
"This island is staggering. We arrived on the boat to a millionaires welcome, we were blown away and the only guests on the island, ill never have this again in my life. Make sure you do the pearl lunch trip it was fab. Also sleep in the lighthouse, we stopped on the 5th floor to witness the sunrise, ill never forget our stay here."Muang La Lodge: "Belle adresse"
Here every detail is a plus that adds to our well-being ... The first place along the river, the garden, pavilions, swimming pool, warm pool .... Breakfast and good and well presented dinner. I enjoyed a nice massage. Small various attentions provide comfort (brazier, fruit in the room, tea and water available in various places) rewarding excursion in the villages. Welcome by Raphael and Mathilde.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "outstanding"
A peaceful, comforatble place in which to be restored. A wonderful beach and a great sea of small, and very warm, waves for the children to bound in. The food here is the best of India, the servants unobtrusive but caring. The tailor in the shop makes excellent clothes in a night. One of the best places we have found.MesaStila: "Perfect place to find peace"
"I recently had a solo stay at MesaStila and loved every minute of it. The villas are spread out amongst a coffee plantation so you get a real sense of privacy. The villas are huge and well appointed. Service by all staff members is excellent. The spa and Hammam are amazing. The food is healthy and good. I really couldn't fault any aspect of my stay. Stayed November 2016, traveled solo"Villa Song Saigon: "elegant colonial house"
We booked the imperial suite and didn't regret it. Huge in size, wonderful bathroom with riverview and 2 balconies, one on the river and a smaller to to poolside. Villa Song Saigon is a peaceful retreat in an elegant area full of colonial houses. We loved the whole interior of the house, this french colonial style, bright and airy. The front desk arranged a private trip for us to the cu chi tunnels, the tour was organized well. Both days, we took the shuttle to town (only bus available when we stayed there), it was a short ride about 15-20 minutes and comfortable. Breakfast was good, also our asian lunch. Snacks are also available by the poolside. We loved our stay here, although it was a bit far out of Saigon Center.MesaStila: "A Mountainous Trip to Paradise"
"MesaStila is a hidden gem, the grounds are incredible and exceeded all our exceptions, The staff were willing to help us at every turn. This is a must of those looking to get away from it all, explore the grounds, enjoy many activities available, relax by the pool. Hire a guide and head to a waterfall where you will walk thru villages and experience central java at its best. This property is a must - its perfect for stopping and remembering how calm life can be without the hassle and bustle. I urge everyone to go here. Just note if you are travelling in a large group as we were (8A 9C) pre order lunches and dinners as it can take a while to get your meal. "Bali Jiwa Villa: "A dream becomes reality"
"The Bali Jiwa Villas are one of the most beautiful places I ever been. Apart of the beauty of the location - situated in the middle of rice field ( without destroying them ) the Villas are very carefully furnished. The wonderful furnishing taste signs of deep understanding the story of Bali. The charm of this place is simply stunning. Big bathroom ( indoor ad outdoor ), wonderful bed and sheets, enlightened by big windows and the wonderful pool just in front of every villa, very clean and just the way it should be. The staff is amazing and the food is typically balinese - very tasty and home made with a lots of attention. A real place to calm down, to enter in the deep soul of Bali - and a place where service is written in very big big letters.."
