Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Superb safari"
My family and I spent 3 nights recently at Noel’s camp and it was a fantastic experience. We saw no less than 4 leopard sightings, numerous elephants and lots of other species. Yala National Park is massive with a variety of terrain to keep things interesting. I would recommend going to the see the old Buddhist temple during your stay. The food at the camp was exceptional and the best local food we experienced during our trip. A few creepy crawlies around the tents, but don’t let that put you off. Our guide, Pasindu, was exceptional, informative and very friendly. The kids even got to plant their own tee , part of the sustainability programme at the camp. Thanks Noel to you and your team for a highly memorable experience! The Warner family (Shanghai)Locavore: "Three hours of foodie bliss"
"We had the 7 course non vego menu and were again impressed on our third visit to this restaurant. We came from Sanur to eat here again and it was worth the journey! The kitchen maintained the excellent level of taste sensation in each morsel of the “snacks” and the actual menu courses. My only “mmm not sure” moment was the caffeine fish combination. The tomato consommé with the sorbet, the mushrooms , the varied uses of egg - could go on.... If you have the time and the money and enjoy food as an experience, go. Its around top dollar for Bali, but not in comparison to similar in Australia and Michelin rated restaurants in Europe."Tugu Bali: "The Best Holiday Experience"
Amazing experience, location and service. Highly recommend for anyone looking to truly experience a relaxed and friendly environment. We were able to relax and rest in this amazing hotel! The staff offer exceptional service and have excellent attention to every detail, we will return and holiday here again. Thank you!4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "best ever ressourcing"
"truly best ever cool place for the one looking for true nature, calm, meditation, relaxation and especially ressourcing. the whole staff is so nice and looking after you for the best from pick up service to satisfy as much as posible any of your needs Food is very fine considering this remote area with difficult supplies and in large portion to satisfy even big eaters, great wine list as well to enjoy !!!! Remarquable comfort of the tents surely hard to maintain in such surroundings Rare experience to be renewed for sure thanks again to everyone in 4 rivers for such experience and wonderfull stay"Sea Dance Resort: "Excellent service, perfect atmosphere and great food."
"- Great food (even has their own home grown vegetables) - Perfect service! - Excellent atmosphere! We came to the restaurant at a Wednesday night by accident, and we immediately felt very welcome. We decided to stay despite the fact that my girlfriend doesn't even like Thai food and there was a Thai buffet that night. We didn't regret it!! The Thai buffet was delicious and so was my girlfriends club sandwich (they made it possible for her to order from the a la carte menu, even though it was buffet only that night, and there was a big buffet prepared for the guests)! Very service minded We were there after told that we were welcome to come use their great facilities anytime during our stay at Koh Samui. We did that and we went back there for four days in a row because of the pool, kayaking/SUP-boards and especially the food. Had we only known how wonderful this place is we would have stayed here for sure! There was an English girl working in the restaurant, who'm was one of the nicest waiters I've ever encountered. She meant a lot to the place and if I was the owner I would make sure she would never leave her job Her and the rest of the excellent staff makes you feel at home instantly. "Tandjung Sari: "Beautiful, relaxing, great atmosphere"
"A lovely older style resort in Sanur away from the madness of Kuta/Legian. We stayed in a lovely 2 storey ocean front bungalow, just a few steps to the beach, The grounds of the hotel are lovely as is the pool and outdoor eating areas. Breakfast is very good, in fact all the food here is top quality. All staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again"Tugu Lombok: "Spiritual bliss"
The lanscape was beautiful. The interior designs of each building as well as the gardens area were levely. The building and grounds transported me back in time. I felt as if I was sitting on the grounds of an old temple that had been uncoverd after years of nature at work covering the sacred site. It was a wonderfully spiritual experienceThe Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Loved everything about the Cabochon"
We stayed here for two nights' stopover from Europe en route to Australia. It was a glorious way to finish a hectic holiday - the spaces are peaceful and beautifully curated, our room was lovely, cool and quiet with large balcony to let the lush warm air in occasionally (aircon was perfect, however) and the shower was amazingly powerful. The staff are kind, warm, super helpful without being pushy, and the food is really excellent - much better than a meal we had at a vaunted restaurant in town. We did not want to leave, and will definitely be back.David’s Kitchen: "Wonderful restaurant!"
"My mom and I recently travelled to Chiangmai and had a wonderful meal at David's Kitchen! Everything was delicious but the pumpkin soup was amazing and a must try!! The owners and staff could not have been nicer. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Chiangmai. Also a wonderful addition to our experience which made getting to the restaurant so easy was a pickup service (at an additional cost) to and from our hotel. Made getting to the restaurant so easy!"muang la: "A piece of heaven in Northern Laos"
"The resort is a great place for a bit of peace and relaxation. The managers are involved in every aspect of the property . The food was fantastic , the SPA an experience ! One of my favorite places in Laos. "
