Neeleshwar Hermitage: "A fitting end to our holiday"

Review by: maddensk | Source: Trip Advisor
The bungalow is set in a well maintained palm tree plantation,the room was very clean and stylish and modern,with an amazing semi outdoor en suite bathroom complete with a palm tree.The shower was very effective and there are twin wash basins and a selection of toiletries.There was an ample supply of luxurious towels which were changed every day.The room had a king sized bed with cotton sheets,which was very comfortable and The room had sufficient wardrobe and drawers.There are two restaurants,one formal and a seafood one on the beach.We only ate the seafood restaurant where the selections are on a blackboard,which changes daily a variety of fish in various sauces.The meals were always superbly cooked and presented and the friendly but professional service was always present.Breakfast was only served at the beach restaurant with an excellent choice of both Indian and european food.This is an exceptional hotel,the pool is well maintained and has really comfortable loungers.This hotel is certainly 5 star with prices to match,although surprisingly the wine when compared to our previous hotels was reasonably priced and good quality.They offer various activities including yoga,spa,backwater cruises,cooking lessons and you can walk safely on the beach which stretches for as far as the eye can see.The wi-fi is slow but acceptable and the hotel is non smoking.

Reverie Siam: "Out of this world experience"

Review by: ThaiTour | Source: Trip Advisor
"We are so glad we booked that place. It was a family reunion and we couldn't have wished for more. It is not only the place itself which is just amazing but the staff as well whom are all so genuinely friendly and warm. Everything was perfect from the time we checked in until out and this memories will last for long. Spoil yourself and book the villas, they are just simply perfect. Thanks, keep up the great work and see you soon again !"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Quaint Resort"

Review by: Urmil G | Source: Trip Advisor
Wonderful resort with picturesque view...away from city noise and busy life, you enjoy beauty of nature. On the shore of Arabian Sea the resort is very peaceful... spacious rooms with open courtyard bathroom , overlooking sea what else one can ask for. Cordial, friendly and efficient staff ... always smiling and ready to serve you . Variety of food not much but what they give you is all fresh, healthy and tasty. They have infinity pool almost connected with beach. Lot of greenery and different variety of flowers keep you happy. Onam festival was near so they did amazing flower decoration. If someone wants calm holiday then this is the perfect choice.

Jing’s Residence: "Wonderful Experience"

Review by: Judith G | Source: Trip Advisor
"Our family of three adults spent two nights at Jing’s Residence. It was by far one of our favorite stays in our 19 day China journey. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The hotel is situated in the walled city which makes checking in and out interesting. No cars are allowed so you are met at the gates by electric cars for your transfer. We ate at Jing’s two evenings. The first evening we ordered of the menu and were delighted with our cocktails and food choices. The next evening, the hotel and chef Henry were very gracious to put together a cooking class for us spur of the moment. Again the food was wonderful and we had a great, fun time interacting with the staff. We can now make dumplings and noodles. We also ate breakfast there twice. It was adequate and good. Service was prompt and delightful. I wish I was returning to Pingyao to relive this special place"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "New Year’s Eve"

Review by: Ajit K | Source: Trip Advisor
A boutique property in the midst of the tea estate with captivating views of Mt Kanchenjunga. The 19th century built cottages are luxurious and remind of the English countryside. One can spend the entire day relaxing and sun bathing in the beautiful lawn gazing at the variety of flora and the majestic mountain ranges. They offer various hikes exploring the nearby villages walking though the tea estates with expert in-house guides. Must visit property if one wishes to get pampered in the most beautiful of locales.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Amazing stay in private pool villas"

Review by: Erika T | Source: Trip Advisor
"The peace in the peaceful Gili Air. We really enjoyed our time in the private pool, the breakfast ""at home"" and the attention to simple details (from the furniture to the kitchen appliances). It was the well-deserved relax after 2 weeks of rumbling around Bali, Lombok and the Gilis. Only remark, it is almost in the center of the island, you have to bike to get to the coast (bikes are avaiable for rent) and at night it is pretty dark."

Maduzi Hotel: "Little gem of a hotel"

Review by: Nat E | Source: Trip Advisor
"Just stayed for 2 nights in this hotel which doesn't look like much from the outside & is on busy road but don't let that fool you as it is gorgeous inside & road noise is minimal. All the staff were friendly & helpful. Price is reasonable too especially having come from Shangri-La. It has the right boutique effect in terms of decor & little extras. The tap from the ceiling into the infinity jacuzzi was unique. There was a proper coffee machine in the room which had one of the largest beds I've ever slept in (sheets were amazingly soft too). Can't rate this high enough & I would definitely return if I went back to Bangkok. Great location for night life & a few stops to main shopping malls. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Malang: "Tempo Doeloe feeling"

Review by: Henk58 | Source: tripadvisor.com
The hotel is a mixture of luxury and history. The rooms give a feel of the "good" (only for the Dutch) colonial old times, with the hand hammered baths. And the whole atmosphere is the hotel is friendly and service minded. The for is excellent and the hotel itself has a fantastic mix of antiquities within its walls (Chinese (most), Dutch and Indonesian. It was a pleasure going to the rooms with my 17 year old daughter and see her recognize drawings and pictures of Kublai Kahn and Sun Yat Sen. Great hotel.

Villa Song: "Beautiful boutique hotel"

Review by: P H | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel is an old french colonial building on the banks of the Mekong river in District 2. The rooms are beautiful. By circumstance, we had the opportunity to experience three different rooms in the hotel. The Riverview rooms have a better view, but are noisier with the restaurant below. The garden/pool side rooms are quiet and the view of the garden is lovely, but beyond that into the distance it's just a neighbourhood view which is nothing special. The restaurant serves excellent food - I was actually surprised how wonderful everything we ate there was. There is a free shuttle boat into the city, which is a nice perk."
