Nimmu House: "Escale chaleureuse"

Review by: jakylou | Source: Trip Advisor
"A notre arrivée, tout avait mal commencé car booking.com n'avait pas réservé correctement nos 2 nuits au Nimmu House. Mais grâce à l'efficacité de nos hôtes Manon et Audrey, tout s'est finalement arrangé. Le personnel était aux petits soins durant tout notre séjour et, surprise, comme c'était le jour de mon anniversaire, nous avons eu le soir, au restaurant, un splendide gâteau d'anniversaire que nous avons partagé avec tous les convives. Les tentes, très confortables, sont dispersées dans le verger et tout ici respire la sérénité. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe du Nimmu House, nous avons passé un séjour enchanteur."

Lovely colonial property with modern facilities. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Interesting rooms and common areas with beautiful antiques. Nice pool and garden, which makes this a perfect oasis to relax. Excellent food, too.

Satri House: "Just as elegant as it’s name suggests"

Review by: Alicia S | Source: Trip Advisor
"Satri house is a quiet and beautiful little hideaway. The entire place has a relaxing and calming vibe, which was nice after travelling around three countries beforehand. The staff are all extremely friendly, helpful and lovely people. This was perfect for a short stay during our honeymoon and I'd definitely recommend Satri House to couple's and families alike. Oh and the restaurant is absolutely amazing! Breakfast was to die for! And we had dinner there one night which was just as mouthwatering! Satri House also provides bicycles to use (free of charge) and it's only a quick 3 minute ride into the main part of town. You will not be disappointed :)"

The Cabochon Hotel: "Urban Bangkok feel — Hit it twice this so far"

Review by: David T | Source: Trip Advisor
"For those seeking to experience the vibe of Bangkok as a psuedo-denizen for a couple of days -- that is, to live/to sleep amid that ordinary urban street mix of local food vendors adjacent to gleaming skyscrapers, [and, with some solid benefits such as a being near a handy supermarket, the Skytrain Phrom Phong stop, a hip juice bar, and a small city park] the Cabochon offers this kind of feel in the Thai metropolis. It's not on the famed river, and it's not super luxury. Rather, it's under-the-radar subtle. Hidden down a small alley from that urban mix, the colonial-era building is a sweet spot -- surrounded by lush foliage and filled inside with Asian collectibles. Venture out into the Bangkok chaos, and return back to the chill of the Cabochon, where the genuinely warm staff will greet you with smiles -- more smiles when you order a couple of rounds of mojitos. Relaxed without anyone in your grill. Clean, more than acceptable, not over-priced. And best, it is super understated."

Rachamankha: "Beautiful boutique hotel in old city"

Review by: Chris B | Source: tripadvisor.com
Stayed for five nights alone, the staff was wonderful. The breakfast and every meal I had at the restaurant were wonderful. Upon first entering the hotel I thought I was in a temple because it is very beautiful and has a very relaxing vibe, and is so quite inside the grounds of hotel but is a short walk from the walking street.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Best of the Rest"

Review by: Rob J | Source: Trip Advisor
"I had lived in Phnom Penh for a couple of years and visited Kep many times. It took a vacation trip a year later for me to run upon Samanea Beach. It's like a park when you first see it, spacious uncluttered and green, green, green. The Bungalows are the nicest I'd stayed in in years, huge and tastefully decorated. I meant to stay for three nights and was still there two weeks later. Low key, super pool, great food, excellent staff and above all, incredibly beautiful. Room Tip: Check out the wifi strength before you choose your Bungalow. It's generally good but some Bunga..."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise!"

Review by: Alice8883 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed here for Christmas 2017, it was our fourth visit and everything about Golden Buddha is perfect. The staff are amazing, very professional, always friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Valerie the owner has time for everyone, Massi and Theresa manage the resort to perfection and Guy at the pizza bar on the beach is fantastic, he should never be allowed to leave!!! This resort is truly unspoilt Thailand, not the place if you want nightlife but if you are looking for relaxation and to completely chill out this is THE place to go. You will not be disappointed, it exceeds all expectations. All of the houses are individual, we were a party of six so Bann Mangorn was perfect for us, three bedrooms, three bathrooms a wonderful balcony with sea views to relax on. All the banns are extremely clean, mosquito nets are over all the beds and all have outside areas to sit and relax, some with hammocks. The food menu changes everyday always with an excellent choice. Christmas Eve celebrations started with cocktails on the beach beside a huge bonfire, there was a wonderful buffet with so many choices, Entertainment followed by local school children and staff, then down onto the beach to light lanterns and watch them float across the bay. A truly magical evening. The beaches are pristine clean, the front beach is shallow and perfect for children, the other beach gently slopes and is great for swimming. The only downside to this beautiful island is that all to soon it is time to leave. If you are fortunate enough to visit this island you will not be disappointed. Golden Buddha Beach Resort really is a little bit of paradise."

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Probably the best place I have ever stayed"

Review by: Kate M | Source: Trip Advisor
"My family and I spent two nights in this hotel as part of our trip around Laos in early January. I was immediately impressed by the homeliness of the hotel and the warm welcome we received from the lovely Dutch manager. The pool is absolutely stunning and the hot pools are so nice to spend time in. My only qualm is that the water in the hot spring is normally far too hot so it might be slightly better to mix the water with some cooler water. The staff are all very attentive, however the a la carte nature of the meals means that it can often take a little while for your coffee to arrive. The quality of the food is Michelin star. The dinners are amazing and I love how they involve so much local food. I would say that there is possibly a little too few carbohydrates for my teenage brother and I and some bread on the table would not have gone to waste. The rooms are really very nice, the shower was really warm unlike some of the other places we had stayed in Laos. The things I like most about this hotel are the ways in which they think about everything you could need. For example they offer to clean your shoes for you after a day of walking around the mountain villages or how they place towels by the hot tubs so you don't have to remember your own or how they create a little fire pit next to your table at dinner to keep you warm. My favourite must have been when we came home from dinner the first night to find a hot water bottle in the bed. Absolutely amazing! The activity that we went on was really interesting. Our guide was very well informed and answered all our questions. They were also very willing to adapt to our requests such as visiting the local health centre."
