The Island Lodge: "Peaceful visit"
We stayed here after a day on the Mekong Delta. The staff are really attentive and go out of their way to welcome you and look after you while you are there. The pool is brilliant, the gardens are exquisite and we really enjoyed the beautiful French food.Talabgaon Castle: "Simply Wonderful"
"We arrived late in the evening and still enjoyed a very warm welcome from staff, The music, food, and ambiance were a very special treat. The Castle is simply beautiful. I awoke for sunrise, with light shining through the many stain glassed windows that adorned my bedroom. I wandered about the property, enjoying the light as it rose above the Castle. A staff member wished me a warm good morning, and took time to show me more about the Castle. A very special treat! Talabgaon Castle is a very tranquil place with attentive staff ... it's a great place to escape the business of over places in India. Breakfast was home cooked - welcomed and tasty. I also enjoyed a cup of coffee in my room prior to heading out to explore. I enjoyed finding the many fresh flower potpourri vessels, as well as a few peacock sitings! It was a visit to remember, for sure. I only wish we could have stayed for at least another day. The drive to the Castle may seem a bit lengthy, but in my opinion it's well worth it. Take time to enjoy the India experience along the way! The journey ... and the destination ... is the reward. Enjoy!!!"Neeleshwar Hermitage: "THE BEST"
We traveled through 12 time zones for our second two week stay at this wonderful place and found it even better than our last trip. Why? The food, accommodation, daily yoga, beach walking for miles, warm ocean swimming, spectacular sunsets and friendly/accommodating staff set the stage for a truly magical experience of total relaxation and joy. We find a level of serenity and solitude that is the best. The uniqueness of this special place touches our souls and we are already planning a return trip.Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Even during construction definitely worth a visit"
"I had asked the concierge at my hotel for a recommendation of Thai cuisine without being spicy. Le Du did deliver exactly that. The menu came in three parts, a la carte, four course tasting menu or 6 course tasting menu with an optional wine pairing. I opted for the latter. The food was excellent and ranged from flowers and vegetables via seafood and fish to meat and poultry. The arrival experience was a bit surprising as the ground floor of the restaurant was undergoing renovation and access was via a side door and the emergency staircase which gave way to a nicely divided space on the second floor."Tugu Malang: "Tempo Doeloe feeling"
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.Labyrinth: "Great Singaporean influences"
I like how the menu is deisgned with our local food in mind. Most of the food executed were excellent. Wines were a little dissapointing though.Supanniga Cruise: "Probably the best stylish dinner cruise in Bangkok!!!"
"Love the cruise design, so chic and stylish. Not way traditional Thai like other cruises. I especially love the lounge area at the front of the boat where you can chill, sip champagne, and enjoy Bangkok's nighttime river view. For the food, it comes with 6-course authentic Thai food and a glass of Taittinger champagne as a welcome drink. And I must say the taste is really Thai, unlike some other cruises that compromises way to much to suit foreigners' palate. The service is top-notch, very attentive and friendly. The cruise manager, Khun Joe, is the real gem. He helped us taking pictures and we loved the wine he recommended. All in all, a must do if are into river cruising."The Twelve Hotel: "Pleasant"
Quiet oasis in Bangkok. The hotel is quiet, clean and the owners are friendly. Bedding is excellent and tasteful decoration. This is a small hotel on a human scale. A little far from the subway or foot to BTS but tuk tuk will cost you 50 Bath. In short I would go back because I have spent a great timeMrauk U Princess Resort: "Village Houses"
your room will be one of the 23 spacious traditionally inspired and locally constructed wood frame and thatch village houses. It is quite an experience, very quite, close to the river where you can arrive by boat. Good restaurant and perfect service. we can recommend this unique place.Muang La Lodge: "Séjour Inoubliable"
"Nous venons de séjourner pendant trois jours dans ce lodge et n'avons rien à redire. La manager Raphael gère cet hôtel avec excellence. Grande attention à chacun de ses clients. Notre chambre était spacieuse, propre et décor avec beaucoup de goût. Les repas excellents et les serveuses adorables. Nous vous le conseillons si vous passez dans cette région."
