The Island Lodge: "Just Perfect!"

"I stayed 2 nights with my family for a week end away from Saigon. Staff and owners are very nice and friendly. The restaurant provides good French food. The swimming is awesome. Room has a balcony with view to the river, you can see beautiful sunset. Thanks Michel and Françoise, we will come back..."

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Great view, great service"

"We were in room 8 on the third floor-a tastefully decorated small suite with three balconies in the living room overlooking the waterfront and promenade. The two windows in the bedroom also overlooked the promenade as well as a side street. The rooms were spotless and the queen bed was comfortable. The provided fruits were tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the most excellent L'escale restaurant (try it for dinner for a taste treat) was a white tablecloth affair spoiled only by the German brat children who screamed throughout. Wifi was excellent."

Locavore: "One of the best meals we have ever had"

Exquisite 7 course (+ more!) meal, where our nosy eyes got to spy on all the kitchens goings-on. A must visit for anyone looking for a completely unique and flawless dining experience. I won’t divulge too much, just go.

RACHAMANKHA: "A peaceful haven"

My husband and my self visited Chiangmai in 1997 and stayed at the Rachamankha. The feeling of being transported to another world is really true. This hotel is in the midst of the city but the exquisite lay out of the interior and exterior is pretty hard to beat. We spend our winters in Chiangmai since then and visit Rachamankha every week to simply enjoy the tranquility of this wonderful hotel. The staff is very attentive and very well trained. They almost guess and jump to your needs before you can voice them. The kitchen is a very good a mix of Thai and European cuisine. Good wines. We really consider ourselves fortunate to have discovered this gem. I was impressed by the owners astute insight into the the Thai culture which he has presented in his unique style. We are fans of Rachamanka

Sea Dance Resort: "excellent"

It's rare to be compelled to write a review before leaving a property but in terms of value for money, service, food and atmosphere Sea Resort really deserves immediate praise. When you know the names of the staff, and they yours, within hours of settling in you know you are on to a winner. If you enjoy great breakfasts, beach front dinners, chilled out family friendly boutique style digs then I reckon this could be right up your street. On an Island that is , sometimes, decidedly hit and miss in terms of the Quality/Cost/Service ratio Sea dance delivers on all three.Thanks Poy. Helen, Kent and Faith and Staff. You are legends!!

The Island Lodge: "Safe Haven"

On arrival, our car dropped us. You have to take a small path to get to the hotel. This lush haven is by the Mekong River. We are greeted with a great "welcome drink". The rooms are beautiful, spacious and decorated tastefully. We are in the midst of lush nature and facing the Mekong. Children have much appreciated the lovely large pool. What happiness!

Dewakan: "Impressive modern Malaysian cuisine"

I had a dinner here on the christmas night. Impressive 10 course meal with additional snacks and dessert. It's a marathon dinner of almost 3 hours with variety of food items to try. Each dish is unique and burst of flavours. The chef uses local herbs and spices creatively in each meal. You will think that such a simple ingredient wouldn't be done it this way. Each meal is also an art by itself especially blue mackerel with raja ulam which the cured fish meat topped with edible flowers. Overall almost all the dishes were excellent except two which I don't quite like it. However, the food concept may not be for everyone. People who don't like the smell of ulam and spices may not like the overwhelming flavour of the dishes here. Also you also need to be patient and enjoying good time here of enduring 3 hours of eating session. The food here are even better than some of the Michelin star establishment. Dewakan does not serve ala-carte meal. They only have 3 or 4 course meal during lunch or 5 or 10 course during dinner. Price starts at MYR80.00 for 3 course lunch and the dinner of 10 course at MYR209.00. I would say for fine dining, the price is actually quite reasonable with total of 10 course.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Heavenly Honeymoon in undiscovered Cambodia"

"My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in January 2016. We were supposed to stay for 3 but we loved 4 Rivers so much we managed to secure another night - thanks to the wonderful Luz & Adonis. To get to 4 Rivers you travel down the river Tatai - a magical, unspoilt river in a remote and protected part of Cambodia. It is absolutely worth the drive from Phnom Penh! The surroundings are magnificent. 4 Rivers is the perfect destination for couples - we arrived and immediately jumped off our private jetty into the beautiful fresh water river. What's more there's no phone signal or wifi so you properly switch off and today there is no greater holiday gift than time away from your smartphone. Did I mention Luz and Adonis and all of the staff were incredible? They looked after us so well and the food was excellent and the wine selection just right. We loved the firefly trip, the sunset cruise and the waterfall and canoeing excursion. I can't wait to return and I have recommended 4 Rivers to all of our friends and family. All the best - Gemma & Jack xxx"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Eine kulinarische Oase in Myanmar"

"Nach einer interessanten Myanmarreise haben wir im Seeds unseren letzten Abend verracht: Ein Erlebnis und Must für alle, welche dazu Gelgenheit finden! Das Restaurant liegt traumhaft gelgen direkt am Inle See unweit des Stadtzentrums und der Sundowner schmeckt in der Lounge nicht nur weil er wirklich gut gemixt ist, sondern auch vom Sunset und einer frischen Seebreeze begleitet wird. Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet - ein echter kulinarischer Genuss entstanden aus Kreativität, qualitativ hochstehenden Grundprodukte und kompromissloser Frische! Der Service ist diskret und professional und das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis angemessen - eine kulinarische Oase, welcher alle Erwartungen übertrifft... wir werden das Seeds gerne wieder besuchen und freuen uns darauf"
