It took me quite a while to choose 5 top hotels in SEA. Hotels in SEA are generally quite good with a service to match.  5 stars hotel prices are not too expensive  unlike the ones in Tokyo or NYC for example. I like the attentive and sincere service over here too, from the moment you check in to the moment you are back at the airport.  It’s that extra bit of attentiveness that goes a long way.  I give you an example, in a hotel in Bali I was recognised by name the moment I stepped into the front door.  Then the whole hotel including the restaurant staff knew who I was. They also knew my favourite drink, my allergies and my favourite seat! I wonder if they even knew my inside trousers size!  Trust me, I’m not a celebrity but that extra little thing that they do makes you special.

The list below are not in order and it is difficult for me to list down just 5 hotels. The list might change after a few months 😀 I will try and write reviews about them in the near future.

1. The Datai, Langkawi, Malaysia

2. The Chedi Club, Ubud, Bali

3. The Nam Hai, Hoi An, Vietnam

4. The Song Saa, Cambodia

5. The Cape Sienna Villas, Phuket

Sorry, I can’t just list down 5 hotels.  This is number 6. 😁

6. Amankila, Bali
