Inle Princess Resort: "Amazing Traditional Villas"

Review by: maung m | Source: Trip Advisor
We only stayed there for a night and also it was kinda low season period so yea not so many guests were around and more quiet and peaceful. For the breakfast its not that great tho. The Spa looks so nice with hybrid colonial and traditional style cottage. You can also learn more about clay pot making process, they have nice jetty for boat pick up if you up to go for ride around INLE lake. The dinning hall itself it s more looks like a traditional Myanmar theater which is also good looking. For the pool, even its small, its still looks so beautiful with the set up and surrounding lake and plants. For overall, its a nice views with inner lake surrounded by the villas, very large villas interior, outside shower with large area, very fast wifi internet, nice people around. For me i really dont find it very good food for breakfast, may be i was there on the low season and not many guests are around and also staffs. Anyway the resort itself is so beautiful and interior decorations with stunning views.

Rachamankha: "Really beautiful hotel in a nice location"

Review by: FengCao | Source: Trip Advisor
First of all, this hotel really takes me back in time with a Chinese courtyard style layout which oozes culture and character. Sitting in the chairs in the common area, I felt like I was in a different era enjoying a slow afternoon tea. Hidden in a quiet secluded corner of the Chiang Mai old town, it was the perfect place to be after the craziness of Bangkok. The location of hotel is very convenient to all the temples and the night markets. The hotel restaurant offered very tasty breakfast and dinner.

Tugu Lombok: "WOW"

Review by: Patsy S | Source: Trip Advisor
From the moment we stepped out of the cab my mouth dropped! Tradition, yes and then some! Massive, manicured grounds, Infinity Pools everywhere, your eyes feast from one marvel to another! The staff couldn't be friendlier and more accommodating, they all knew my grandchildren's name in one day! If you wanted to have privacy the grounds are so massive you could have a secluded vacation here! Totally restful and awesome time here.

Rachamankha: "Best of Chiang Mai"

Review by: FamSiam | Source: Trip Advisor
I've stayed frequently in Chiang Mai, and this place is gem. Peaceful, quaint, friendly. A real oasis of calm and serenity. Great restaurant - for breakfast and for dinner. Lovely pool. Old world charm. Excellent service. No drama, and an escape from the hustle and bustle.

Hotel Tugu Bali: "hidden gem in plain sight"

Review by: Freya L | Source: Trip Advisor
"i am a vintage girl when it come to property, and i already known tugu as one of the heritage hotels in Indonesia. Never visit the other site tho, but the brand is all about antique and vintage Javanese set up in my mind. And the one in Bali for sure was stunning set up. With all old Javanese furniture in lashes green surrounding. As now, the area is becoming upscale and trendy and hip area, Tugu hotel is seriously get away from modern and chic neighborhood in just steps away. If you like vintage hotel, this is THE one."

Inle Princess Resort: "Beautiful relaxing and serene experience"

Review by: shari001 | Source: Trip Advisor
The resort is built in traditional mynamar style with lots of teak everywhere! We had a garden cottage which looked out on to a lovely large pond covered in water lilies. The cottage itself was beautifully and tastefully furnished, if a little quirky! Being winter, the inbuilt chimena is lit in the evening if wanted. There is also a/c and ceiling fan. The bathroom is well appointed and the cottage also boasts an outdoor shower. Outside are sunloungers, armchairs and a table on a deck. Be aware, there is no TV or music system in the cottage. Occasionally you will hear a gecko or bird but other than that, we could only hear silence. There is a large restaurant serving both Mynamar and western dishes. In my opinion, the food is good but not outstanding. The hotel has a pool but it looked snd my toe told me, it was way too cold to venture in... I'm talking winter here!!! The resort is a perfect place from which to go exploring by long tail boat on Lake Inle. There are many interesting villages and pagodas in their 100s to see and, of course, the obligatory market selling anything and everything. We spent 3 nights here which i reckon is enough.

Inle Princess Resort: "A “must” stay here"

Review by: fairplay01 | Source: Trip Advisor
Superb Hotel with a unique approach by boat with the very unique rowing style to get you there! Simply beautiful location and fab rooms. We stayed in a lake house which I really can't fault. It has a rustic charm but with all the extras that you expect in a 5 star hotel. The outside shower is a nice touch and really good! the whole resort is beautifully maintained and we would have like to have stayed a while longer. There is only one restaurant but it does have an extensive menu and the food is good. if there is any criticism, the dining room lacks a little atmosphere but really not a significant point and would not deter me from returning. Also fab spa! We didn't use the pool but that too looked wonderful. maybe next time!

Reverie Siam: "Best hotel in Pai – great design. Superb breakfast"

Review by: VillaYar | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is by far the best hotel in Pai. Beautifully designed with quirky touches. The restaurant is voted the best in Pai - but isn't actually very good. However, the breakfast is sublime and staff incredible. The main swimming pool is lovely and relaxing, the 'riverside bar' is a waste of time so just head straight out and explore the unique Pai - it's what you are here for afterall? We had room / bungalow 8 which was gorgeous but a little dark, I would have liked to see another, brighter room. That said, really comfy bed and the bathroom with Jacuzzi is fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel!"

MesaStila: "Amazing MesaStila"

Review by: Lis1411 | Source: Trip Advisor
Just spent an amazing weekend here for our wedding anniversary. Lovely and peaceful, with views of Mt Merapi, in the middle of a coffee plantation. Beautiful Dutch colonial buildings and traditional Indonesian houses, fantastic food and wonderful staff. Tour of the coffee plantation was fascinating. Only 1 hr drive from Semarang airport (or 2 hrs from Yogya), so great for a weekend away from Jakarta!

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Excellent Boutique Hotel"

Review by: TeacherCandi | Source: tripadvisor.com
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the Cabochon Hotel during our recent trip to Bangkok. Everything from the unique and interesting design, the amazing gin and tonic bar, the rooftop pool with great views of the city, the quiet location, the excellent restaurant and the extremely helpful and friendly staff made our visit very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel. Also try the French toast for breakfast. It was delicious.
