Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Spa/restaurant/beach"
This place is one of a kind. The location is beautiful. The seafood is excellent with authentic Kerala food. Our room is awesome and very rustic. The beach was beautiful. We were surrounded by wild life and everything was wonderful.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion Logo Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Fabulous!"
We stayed here for 5 nights and the stay was great. The staff were wonderful and the rooms very comfortable. The history is fascinating and the renovation work excellent. We didn’t eat here other than breakfast - we ate at the Red Garden Food Paradise and Night Market which is right next door - so many choices and so inexpensive!Les Maisons d’Itac: "Best place we stayed in the Philippines"
"Me and my gf spent 4 nights at Les Maisons d'Itac. We were supposed to stay for 3, we loved the place so much we decided to stay 1 more night (we couldn't stay longer as the Mayson Ulisse was not available anymore, so we kept our travel plan on). What can we say? Bryan (who spoke italian, we're italians and we have very charming and nice conversations during our stay) has been the perfect host. Always ready to help, charmful and totally welcoming. We booked our trasfers to Bantayan and back to Cebu through him and it was just perfect! The food at the maisons is great, the location awsome. They have an amazing spot for snorkelling just in front of the resort that you can reach in a few mins swimming. What makes this place special (apart from the view, the nature around, the sea) is the SILENCE. In almost a month in the Philippines we never found such a relaxing spot, where you can fall asleep at night hearing at the waves sounds. A true dream come true. If you're looking for a place to stay around Moalboal (it can be reached in 25 minutes scooter ride from the resort, you can rent just asking Bryan) DO NOT HESITATE to book a stay at the Maisons. p.s: say hi to Itac and Stacey for us :) Ciao! Andrea & Marta Room Tip: Maison Ulysse is a must-to-try!"David’s Kitchen: "Delicious!"
I joined friends to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed impeccable service and delicious courses from start to finish. From the lovely dining room to the finishing touches on how each dish was presented made for a perfect evening. Favorites included the gazpacho, Tasmanian salmon, Wagu beef cheeks, and duck. We finished with Sticky Toffee Pudding. Yummy!Amata Lanna: "Great boutique hotel"
Awesome hotel with a really amazing staff that makes you feel welcome from the time you walk in. Rooms were very cozy and we enjoyed the nice firm bed! Close to the night bazar and city center. The staff also helped with taxi's and suggested a great spa that offered free transport! Overall a great time at the Amata LannaMesaStila: "Top notch"
Beautiful resort with actual villas relocated from the region to this coffee plantation. Tons of antique furniture. Good food, extremely friendly staff. I would highly recommend if you're in the Semarang area, make the couple hour drive up for a weekend retreat. You won't regret it. Also, make time to do an hour tour of the coffee plantation. They do it around 10am, very interesting. Also you can ride horses to the neighboring villages, didn't have time to do it but would have loved it.Cuca: "Deserves 2 Michelin stars – Outstanding"
"We had a fantastic culinary experience at Cuca. The flavours, textures, aromas and presentation were an impressive mix. The staff were very atentative and their product knowledge was amazing. We sat at the bar watching the Chefs work which brought back memories for me. We liked how different people brought us our dishes - Chefs and our waitress, who explained what we were about to enjoy. As recommended we choose 6 tapas style dishes which was just enough for both of us to feel full and not left hungry. The choice is well balanced and it was difficult to choose which 6 dishes to enjoy, saying that we couldn't resist trying 2 of their desserts too!! We don't normally take dessert but on this occasion we really enjoyed the Bali breakfast and their ice cream dish with 98% coco mass organic chocolate ganash just made for them. Their brigade is headed up by an energetic Canadian Chef called Kevin Cherkas who I would pair with Heston Blumenthal using modern techniques to improve your culinary experience. So we liked it so much we are going to return to enjoy a different 6 dishes and another culinary journey at Cuca. "Chakrabongse Villas: "MAGIC"
"If you want to see one of the magical side of Bankok, in front of the famous Canal and famous city hot spots, you will find a secret garden with beautiful Villas: the Chakrabongse Villas. Still owned by a member of the Royal family, you can definitely meet elegance, peace, magic and luxury charme with a perfect service. Moreover, is not too expensive compared to other famous Hotel chains nearby.. i definitely recommend to choose it and to dine there with such an incredible view! I will come back for sure."Villa Mathis: "Bali entre copines"
"Merveilleux endroit, managers et personnel d'un grand professionnalisme ! Tout le monde était à l'écoute. L'établissement est superbement entretenu♥️ La restauration est digne d'un grand chef. J'ai encore des étoiles plein les yeux de cet endroit et de ce pays. Merci"Muang La Lodge: "A Perfect Getaway"
It was one of the best weekend breaks ever, 10 hours door to door travelling didn't mean anything, the moment we arrived at the lodge, we felt that this is a true gem. The place is just perfect in all aspects, tranquil location, stylish rooms, lovely landscaped garden, picturesque surroundings, sumptuous food, most importantly friendly and caring crews who delivered the service from their hearts with warm hospitality. We have been very impressed, and I can say that it is even better than some luxury resorts in the region. The only regret is that it was too short this time, we will definitely be going back and enjoy more. Thank you making our 3 night-stay an enjoyable break. See you again.Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
