Kenanga Hotel: "Beautiful tranquil oasis in the rice fields"

Review by: roti187331 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"The Kenanga in Ubud is a perfect place to stay. We had a room overlooking the beautiful rice fields of the hotel. The gardens are very lovely and the infinity pool is awesome. Breakfast is served a la carte and is delicious (the fruit jam is very tasty...). To get to Ubud Centre there is a free shuttle every hour until 5pm. Afterwards you have to take a taxi for around 40000 Rupiah. An alternative (by daylight) is to walk through the lush rice fields and arrive in the city centre after 1 hour. Carine, the owner is extremely helpful and organized a small private trekking tour with a local guide for us to a remote waterfall. All in all we had a wonderful time in Kenanga and will be back for sure next time we are in Ubud."

Arumdalu: "Family Vacation"

Review by: Hertin R | Source: Trip Advisor
"Overall, I think the resort was spot on. It had everything a family who enjoys traveling needs. Massive rooms that can fit up to around 5 people, though you need to have additional beds that can be provided by the resort. I can say this as I travelled with a huge family of 23. Not only the rooms, the culinary served there was also spectacular though it takes a while to prepare. It has it's own flavor and really has it's speciality for each meal. Though the food looks relatively small, it really changes your mind when you finish it as it makes your stomach full. The activities are also very enjoyable and most of them can be done by everyone. The resort provides kayaks, that can be used in the secluded beach, there are bicycles that can be used to ride along the road heading to a spot to hike, Batu Baginda. Though the route can be challenging for some people, once you reach the spot you can really enjoy the view and the whole trip was worth it. It takes around 2 hours to get there and back. (these activities needs an extra cost) It was late December when me and my family went there so luckily, they gave us a great new year experience by the beach. They had tents prepared for us and there were music to accompany us. But the best part of the event were the fireworks, they were spectacular as they were endless and massive."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A gem of a place"

Review by: lesleyvb | Source: Trip Advisor
"It is no wonder Sea-dance has won so many awards! This small boutique hotel is the perfect escape from the bustling crowds of nearby towns like Bophut, Fisherman's Village, Chaweng and Bangrak. However, a quick taxi ride can be organized by the hotel or by using the company just outside the gates. We stayed in a seafront villa with our own splash-pool. The room was spacious and beautiful. The sea, main pool, bar, restaurant was close by. It is an environmentally friendly hotel with their own veg garden. It is spotlessly clean and impeccably maintained. Staff take pride in their work which is testament to the owner Poh's Booncham's excellent management. What a team: Faith, Poh, Luk etc you are all amazing: you attended to our every need"

The Cabochon Hotel: "A beautiful hotel with so many lovely features"

Review by: Phoebe T | Source: Trip Advisor
We were welcomed before we even entered the hotel, with a concierge helping us take our suitcases out of the taxi. We were then escorted to the library and given coconuts to help us cool down. The thoughtful details didn't end there, and our stay was wonderful. We were in a great part of town and given lots of advice about getting around on the skytrain. The rooftop pool was a welcome way to cool down at the end of each day. Highly recommended!

Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Highly Recommended"

Review by: Burd R | Source: Trip Advisor
The resort is located in local village just about 10 mins drive to the famous Bamboo train and downtown. Lush tropical garden with big beautiful lotus pond and the traditional wooden houses made a perfect combination that create a sense of peace and relaxation. The room is very clean, cozy and comfortable. Free high speed WIFI in room and public area. Highly recommended for couple, family and individuals looking for good resort, privacy and cultural experience in Battambong. Will sure to stay there again if we retur

Maison Polanka: "Holiday in Cambodia"

Review by: JDH67 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have wanted to visit Cambodia for years, and finally made the jump over during a business trip to Singapore. I had about 72 in Siem Reap, and it was an unforgettable, fantastic trip and much of that was due to the help from the wonderful people at Maison Polanka. My 72 hours were well spent and organized to see Angkor Wat and the surrounding area, as well as relax in the beautiful garden and pool at Maison. In short, consider Maison Polanka and stay here if you can, it was wonderful and I am so glad I chose Maison. I would be very glad to return. Stayed January 2017, traveled solo"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Tranquility with views"

Review by: Jan N | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel is more like a guest house and a very nice one at that. Faye and William were very friendly and ensured all our needs were met. Breakfast and lunch are served in the lovely gardens overlooking the natural beauty that surrounds, providing an opportunity to marvel at the Himalayas and K2 on a clear day. Dinner is a lovely experience with a seating plan that provides the guests an opportunity to meet fellow travelers to talk about their experience and each night there is a different regional theme to the meals. The tour of the plantation was very interesting, giving me a new appreciation for what it takes to make tea. This hotel is in the mountains and as such the journey there was long and on very rough roads but the drivers are excellent, knowing every bend. The destination makes it worth the journey.

Inle Princess Resort: "A Magical Place"

Review by: Fallsbiker | Source: Trip Advisor
From being "driven" into the hotel by a one-leg oarsman to enjoying the palacial dining room, this is a magical place. The contrast between life here, and the abject poverty in Myanmar fomented by years of dictatorship is instructive.

The Hue House: "Great food & great staff."

Review by: AFowler08 | Source: Trip Advisor
Everyone was so kind. I am gluten free and the waiter was super efficient, he even googled what individuals on a gf diet can have and confirmed it with me. The food was great and everyone was super attentive.
