SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Culinary delights. Visiting friends"

The restaurant SEEDS in Yangon is gorgeous not only from the location. The cuisine will win. Treat for the palate and for the eyes. The service is very friendly and competent. From the design of the house, the decoration up to the dishes nothing was left to chance. Lucia and Felix Episser create an atmosphere as if you were visiting friends. Can SEEDS recommend that it was too for a romantic evening, a family dinner or a business occasion, the SEEDS is all needs.

Flower Island: "Stunning, paradise, Robinson Crusoe Island"

"For us this place was perfect. Absolute heaven. Its secluded, quiet, relaxing etc what more can you want? The resort is sympathetic to the environment and the staff are unobtrusive and get on with their job. I say this because I think you need to be aware of these things before booking. Because this is remote I don't think you should expect; Ultra high speed wifi, staff attending to your every need waiting on you hand on foot, luxury Egyptian cotton, etc.. This isn't that kind of place. If you want that go and find a faceless, corporate resort. Instead, check in, turn off your phone, put your swimming trunks on and relax..... The staff were super friendly, and I loved their level of service, approachable, friendly, nice etc... Not uptight in any way. (...) I liked the food, always a good variety - 5-6 pots from which you could help yourself and always plenty of it. Really enjoyed the Pearl Farm, trip a wander around the island and Amber the dog rocks !!!! (and i don't like dogs!!)"

Tugu Bali: "Best ever!!!"

"A true oasis in Bali!!! This hotel is amazing!!! Staff was fabulous!!!! They could not have been more accommodating Grounds are beautiful! We stayed here at the end of a long trip. It was truly an amazing end to our trip before the long trek home. "

THE SAMAR: "Very different and lovely"

"We booked this hotel quite a while ago and having read some of the more recent reviews I had started to get a little worried. I meed not have worried! We stayed here for 3 nights with our children (14&12). We were the only guests in the hotel at the time. We had two rooms which were joined by a living room and two large bathrooms. Beautiful. The hotel arranged our airport transfer which I would recommend. The pool is lovely and although they had problems with the filter at the time we stayed they had this fixed. The area around the pool is beautiful. The breakfast choice is limited but don't let that put you off the food was wonderful. I recommend the noodle soup. We ate lunch by the pool one day and it was beautifully presented and very tasty. All the staff were friendly and helpful. They organised a tuk tuk driver for us to take us to the temples. Chet was great, he would explain things to us and point places out on the way. He also took us to the silk factory one morning (well worth a visit). The girls were given a complimentary facial which they thoroughly enjoyed. I booked a full body scrub which was delightful. When we arrived back at our room each night the hotel had left us local cakes - this was such a sweet thought. The hotel is a little way out of the town but we enjoyed the peace that this gave and also the journeys in and out of the town - a great way to see a little more of the area. I would happily recommend this little gem to anyone. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Little bit of paradise"

This hotel is one of the most amazing places I've stayed at! Loved everything about it... rooms were spectacularly beautiful, river was scenic and peaceful, so much to do, loved waterfall tour and travelling on the rive by boat, also had a go at fishing for my dinner 😂

Tugu Bali: "Great service, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful property"

"Service was outstanding from my arrival until my departure. Wonderful welcome, complimentary welcome drink and afternoon tea with tasty cakes. Stayed in the Dedari suite which had a nice private pool and outdoor shower area, with a separate room for the toilet. Spacious room, comfortable bed, beautiful flowers, and a nice fruit basket. I cannot stress how wonderful and accommodating the staff was! Had plenty of help bringing all my bags to my room and also had a bicycle which I had forgotten was muddy from my long ride that day. I asked if they had a hose where I could wash it and they were kind enough to take it and wash it for me, have never had that type of service anywhere! Food was fabulous! Enjoyed the ""Royal Tugudom"" dinner experience, a ""Grand Ceremonial Dining of the Majapahit Kingdom"" with our own ceremony and huge feast in the ""Bale Puputan"" room. There were only 3 of us so it was way too much food, would have been better for a larger group of people, but what an experience it was! Got treated as royalty and more great service during dinner, was truly a great meal. Breakfast was wherever we wanted it- in our room, on the beach, inside, in the garden, really anywhere. We chose a shady spot in the garden which was perfect and had a nice breeze. Enjoyed the beach afterward and a nice dip in my room pool and the main hotel pool. Lots to enjoy at this hotel! Wish we had more time to explore the area and all the amenities and history of the hotel. To top off our great stay we received a departure fruit basket with water for each of us to enjoy on our drive to the airport. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for a great experience and wonderful stay! Hope to return one day..."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A beautiful and serene resort for peace- and nature-loving travelers"

"We just returned from a 4-nights stay at the beautiful Rice & Zen resort in Doi Saket district, which is no more than 30km away from the Chiang Mai international airport. Our host, Michael, who is also a resident on the resort is very welcoming and warm. We could see that he runs this resort with great passion and drive. The property is extremely lovely. We booked the entire property for our family of 4, and we practically had the entire place to ourselves! The rooms were clean daily and well maintained, with the usual amenities expected of any upmarket resort. The only swimming pool on the resort is cleaned every morning and it feels so good to be able to dip into the pool to beat the tropical heat. And if swimming is not your cup of tea, there's always the gym and beautifully manicured garden and ponds to keep you occupied. Delicious meals are prepared and served by Maya, the resident chef. And if you're into Thai cuisine, the food is no less than scrumptious than what you can find in the restaurants. Michael and his staff will be most happy to recommend other restaurants in the vicinity should you want to venture out to try other fares. Trips to Chiang Mai city can also be arranged for a small transportation fee. Overall, we had a most pleasant and relaxing stay and we highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan city life."

Tugu Bali: "Hidden gem"

Absolutely beautiful property full of Balinese culture and Indonesian history; you could spend a day itself properly exploring, learning about, and enjoying the hotel itself. Staff were impeccable and went out of their way to meet my very need; super friendly. Easy walk (less than 2min) to the beach where there are excellent waves for surfing right there at Batu Bolong beach (with other excellent breaks nearby). Plenty of excellent and hipster restaurant/Cafe options; Canggu way more laid back and less chaotic than Kuta or Seminyak. Can sometimes be noisy at night given proximity to the some of the most happening bars in Canggu, but if you’re looking for intimate luxury in a super-cool part of Bali, Tugu is your place. Rooftop bar had outstanding views, where I also ate my breakfast every morning to watch surfers catch the morning swell. While I came solo, I would bring my family back here in a heartbeat. Thanks Tugu!

Maisons Wat Kor: "Beautiful hidden gem – perfect for a relaxing getaway"

Sadly we only stayed for one night, it is the perfect place to relax especially since it is a little out of town. The Cambodian style villas are cozy with a good range of amenities (just wish they provided some shampoo and shower gel in the bathrooms), the pool and pond areas are lovely with all the tropical plants and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the morning sitting on the deck overlooking the lotus flower pond and the afternoon swimming in the pool (surprisingly the water was cool despite the heat). The food in the restaurant was fresh and delicious. The server went out of his way to cut us fresh coconuts from the tree. Definitely a place to return to for another weekend getaway.
