Villa Song Saigon: "Best Hotel we stayed at in Vietnam"

"Charming, well-run, well-situated hotel outside the hubbub and pollution of downtown HCMC/Saigon. We stayed here twice during out three week trip through Vietnam and Cambodia. Villa Song was a wonderful respite from the highly charged program. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed; the staff is helpful and professional; the food is excellent. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Room Tip: River view rooms are lovely."

Hotel Tugu Bali: "Hotel with Soul"

"If you are an art lover, history lover or luxury lover.. better yet... all three - THIS is your hotel. The minute you walk down the wooden planked front entrance, you know this is a special place. The hotel has been furnished from the owners private collection of antiques. Each piece has a story and specially placed on the property preserving his love of Balinese history. The antiques may be old, but the hotel has all modern wants for luxury but with the a unique touch in their boutique rooms. The baths & plunge pools are the highlight with tubs that you will want to build in your own home. This place is an oasis in Canggu."

The Island Lodge: "Boutique hotel heaven"

This is the most amazing place you could visit. Lodge is a must stay if your visiting the Mekong, it is exquisitely appointed the rooms are a delight, the hosts are a joy. I could not fault this place in any fashion.

Villa Song Saigon: "Beatiful oasis just outside the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City"

This hotel is truly a little gem! We were glad to be close to the city when we chose to go in, but so glad to be able to come back to the peaceful and beautiful grounds of the Villa Song. From the time we checked in until we left, the staff was attentive, professional and very friendly. Excellent customer service! The room/bathroom was spacious, well decorated, spotless and had all the modern amenities. We ate several meals there and in each instance they were very good and the kitchen went out of their way in the presentation of the food. The menu was diverse and wine list comprehensive. A special shout out to Kevin who went out of his way to accommodate our special menu requests plus genuinely take an interest in the guests. This hotel truly deserves an excellent rating in all areas of operation!

Tandjung Sari: "A Lovely Place to Stay"

"The Tandjung Sari at first glance may appear to have been eclipsed by other flashier new hotels along the Sanur Beach. However it is all the things this hotel doesn't tell you on its web page which make it so special. The fantastic collection of Indonesian antiques that adorn this pretty hotel, the attentive staff, the amazing food from the kitchen and the sheer peace and calm would be hard to find anywhere else. The bar is manned by a pair of enthusiastic, fun loving mixologists who are constantly devising new drinks for the guests full of natural fruits (none of your nasty sugar based cordials). The breakfast choices were the finest we had ever had staying anywhere and so generous that you don't want to eat midday. Add to this the gentle patronage of the arts by the hotel's benevolent and kindly managers, which allows local children to practice their traditional dances within one of the bales and to perform for guests and you have a perfect, well priced vacation. This is a vision of old Bali. We will definitely be back. "

Maduzi Hotel: "Amazing Hotel, Amazing Location, so Tranqui"

Amazing location, just moments from transportation/shopping/dining, hotel is so peaceful and tranquil, it really is a respite in the busy, busy city of Bangkok. As soon as you walk in your a little more calm from the beautiful decor. We had a room A5 which has a great city view, but you can keep it nice and really dark with the wall length curtains, so we slept so well. We loved the giant bed, so much room! And of course the amazing breakfast, it really helped us start our day of touring with some great and healthy options that were delicious! The staff is so nice and welcoming, we will stay here again when we are back in Bangkok.

Misool Eco Resort: "Paradise"

"The Raja Ampat is an unspoiled jewel in Indonesia’s crown. It offers mile after mile of unspoiled natural beauty with its hundreds of mushroom islands and magnificent marine life . It had a sea of never ending spectacular coral which Australians say far exceeds the Great Barrier Reef. I shall return soon to experience the excellent hospitality of the Papuans."

Tugu Lombok: "Beautiful, relaxing resort"

"My wife and I spent three days in an oceanfront villa at the beginning of our vacation here. Hotel Tugu is a beautiful, beachside hotel in north Lombok. It is off the main room and a bit distant from the nearest town or village, so it is a bit isolated. But this is not a problem- the hotel grounds are huge, and stuffed with balinese and Indonesian art. Indeed, it is a truly beautiful hotel, one of the most beautiful I've stayed in, and the beach is absolutely perfect- a huge expanse of sand great for swimming and snorkeling. There are a two restaurants and bars serving a variety of Indonesian and western dishes. The food is excellent, though the drinks are a bit overpriced and weak (but still very tasty!). The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, though I would say that at time I thought they were a bit over the top- there can be too much service. We also had a bit of difficulty booking activities- sometimes it was hard to get someone in the main office who could help us. The rooms, like the property, were beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and clean. I would say that parts of them could have been more functional- the lighting was pretty dim, the bathroom tub didn't work very well, and other small things. But these are minor issues- we really enjoyed our stay. Overall, Hotel Tugu is an excellent hotel and well worth a visit for a more Indonesian experience than offered by other local hotels. If you are looking for the efficiency of a European-standard luxury resort, I might try one of the other nearby resorts, but then you will miss staying in a beautiful and unique property."

Sea Dance Resort: "Outstanding service, gorgeous resort."

"We have just spent 7 nights at the magical Seadance Resort and it was superb. We originally booked for 3 nights and fell in love with the place, so we decided to stay for longer. Even after a week, we didn't want to leave. A huge thank you to Poy, the lovely owner, Faith, Helen, Guy and all of the wonderful staff at Seadance for making our last week in Thailand so special. The staff are incredible, so helpful, so friendly and they are what truly makes this Resort stand out from anywhere else we have ever stayed. The accomodation is fantastic, we were lucky enough to stay in Villa 5. The views were beautiful and it was so private and peaceful. Seasalt Restaurant at Seadance is incredible, the food is first class, with a huge choice of Thai and western cuisines. The cocktail list is very extensive and they sure know how to make them. They also have a very impressive array of high quality gin, and thanks to Poy, we are now converts. The breakfast was really yummy, a perfect amount to choose from and they make the best cappuccinos we had in Thailand. The resort is only a 10 minute drive away from busy Chaweng beach, if you feel the need for nightlife and crowds. The big Buddha pier is only a short drive away and a 30 minute boat ride to Ko Phangan. We highly recommend Seadance and we can't wait to return. Thank you again to the beautiful staff, you guys are awesome!!"
