Back to human values

“This place is just a little paradise in a busy life time. The hosts are sinceres, human, warm, smiling and dedicated. Their team is their mirror, they make you feel home without being intrusive. A large choice of activities and amenities are offered, you can enjoy the time passes on the beach with book and […]

Unique experience

“Blackitch is unique. This restaurant must be booked a month in advance – the reason… There are three tables and everything is absolutely awesome. Chef Black creates a new menu every day. Each course is made from ingredients that are fresh… Either imported scallops from Japan flown in, or a selection of greens that are […]

Zen oasis in the old town: fine Asian antiques, great service, sublime food

We stayed for six nights. What a treat. This hotel is a “Secret Retreat” property, one of three that we stayed at in Thailand and Laos. They are owner occupied properties, with amazing attention to decor and service. The architect and designer of this property live here and use the hotel as their home and […]

Unique Experience

“Had a really amazing and unique stay in this floating hotel. The hotel is a 30 minute boat ride from the road and so is very isolated and with only 12 Tents for guests it is very peaceful. A place to slow down and contemplate the quieter life. ”

Indulged myself

“Travelling solo and arriving jet-lagged in Saigon, I wanted to indulge myself in a little luxury before my onward journey. Villa Song lived up to my expectations. I really enjoyed my Writer’s Room – all dark wood, sparsely decorated but tasteful with a charming balcony. I slept so well that I have considered smuggling the […]

One of the best hotels we have stayed in

This small hotel is almost perfect. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, the pool is spotless and inviting, and the dining area/bar beside the pool is delightful. The staff are professional but also very friendly, a sign of a very well managed hotel. The free use of their vintage bikes is a nice touch.

A delightful stay

You want a piece of heaven, people say head to Goa. You want a piece of heaven, a place to call your own for few days, head to Summertime in Goa. For me, it was love at first sight. It is tucked in one of the by lanes of Calangute, away from the noise, has […]

It doesn’t get any better than Tugu Hotel in Bali

“First thing that impresses you about Tugu Hotel is the warmth of the staff! You will remember the efficient hospitality and the friendly nature for days to come! The beauty, the traditional ambience and the location takes you breath away. We were unlucky as we could not have their famed breakfast or dinner at the […]

A special place to stay on the Lake

“The staff were very helpful and willing to please, we enjoyed being spoilt as there is only six rooms. We were fortunate to stay for two nights over Valentine’s Day, we returned to our room after dinner to the room being filled with rose petals and hot water bottles in the bed. On our second […]

Beyond beautiful

“As a long time diver in the Caribbean and the Great Barrier Reef, I was amazed at the diversity and abundance of the: soft and hard corals, the fish, sharks, nudibranchs, clams, starfish, mantas etc at Misool. The colors are amazing. I had to remind myself that the reefs were real and not computer generated. […]
