Mume: "Inventive cuisine at reasonable prices"
Managed to get a 830pm seating here on a trip to Taipei. It's not a fine dining restaurant where you have no option but to take a degustation menu. Instead you get a pretty decent sized menu to choose a la carte options and almost everything we had was really good. Highly recommend the chicken liver, beef tartare, barley porridge. Though the menu might be different next time you go. It's definitely a bit on the higher price range of food options in Taipei but the same quality of food would cost almost double in Singapore or Hong Kong. So overall it was great value for money.Villa Song Saigon: "A luxurious and peaceful escape from the bustle of the city"
"Our first two nights in Vietnam were spent at Villa Song. This was the most idyllic way to kickstart our holiday. The location beside the river is specatular. We had the suite on the top floor with the little parlour. Our two girls slept in the parlour which worked perfectly - leaving us in the four poster bed. This is a very romantic, charming hotel - the furnishings and fittings are beautiful. But the key for us was that it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The first day we were collected by tour company Les Rives to take us by boat to the Chi Chi Tunnels – this was perfect because they could simply collect us and drop us back at the hotel’s private pier. The restaurant is fabulous – a beautiful al fresco location for dinner and breakfast. "Supanniga Eating Room: "Delicious lunch in a fabulous setting"
Casual but well thought out setting; more importantly a very satisfying meal! Fresh & tastey; & service was efficient. Few dishes that I saw on menu that I will make a return visit in the near future.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Incredibly beautiful hotel!"
My boyfriend and I stayed at The Blue Mansion for two nights. The rooms were really comfortable, with a good bed and pretty bathroom. The interior of the hotel was incredibly atmospheric and beautiful - like you made a time travel back in time. Also the breakfast included some really yummy options and we really liked the fact that there was a swimming pool present at the hotel. All together we had an excellent stay. Therefore we would truly recommend Cheong Fatt Tze as a hotel!The Apsara Rive Droite: "Wonderful hotel with first-class service from friendly staff"
"Everything about the Aspara Rive Droitte is just right. Mr Ai and Mr Hann (the management team) and Mr Ivan (the owner) went out of their way to make our stay wonderful and all the other staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, with the hotel's dedicated Aspara Queen taking 60 seconds to cross the Nam Khan and deliver you to the heart of Luang Prabang - and, conversely, escape to the more serene side of the Nam Khan. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, and breakfast wonderful. The pool is a welcome relief from the heat of Laos, with the bar just a few steps away. After 5 days at this home-from-home, we were sad to leave. We hope to go back"Tugu Bali: "Amazing"
"What a superb property. Only 21 rooms, built on wooden structures and with great ethnic feel. The service is amazing and so is the food. There is direct access to the beach and the beach side garden is great to lounge in with tonnes of space. At night dinner can be served in this garden. Try it. The place is full of antique statues and is a photographers delight. The property is flush with greenery and water bodies. Loved it."Rachamankha: "Zen Hotel"
We loved our stay at Rachamankha. As others said, it felt like you were in a secluded location when you were actually right in the heart of old town Chiang Mai. Paul, the manager, is too good for words. He found out we were on our honeymoon...at our next hotel in Krabi, we had a package waiting for us in our room one night. It was a custom piece of artwork, with both my and my wife's names written in thai, and a personal note from Paul thanking us for staying at the hotel. We would absolutely stay here again without a 2nd thought.The Island Lodge: "Wonderful place, exceptionally well run"
We stayed for 2 nights in this idyllic place. Michel has an excellent team of friendly and dedicated staff. Every detail is considered and the food is fabulous. Not cheap but there is a generosity of spirit here and an attention to quality that makes it good value. We will return. An easy journey from Saigon and seamless transfers.Sandat Glamping Tents: "No words"
"So, so nice!!!!It is different from all resorts you use to know. Beautiful tent, calm place and very nice people. The manager (italien), also friendly and kind. It's a litlle bit far from the town but they have transport, you´re there in 20 minutes. NO TV!!!!! I Must return one day"Manda De Laos: "Perfeito"
Restaurante numa rua que nao e perto do centrinho, lugar lindo, aconchegante, tranquilo, rustico, comida maravilhosa. Preco justo. Garcons super simpaticos. Voltaria 1 milhao de vezes. Parabens.
