Misool Eco Resort: "snorkel in paradise"

Review by: jhudecz | Source: Trip Advisor
second trip to misool eco resort, and it just keeps getting better. getting to this place was quite a hassle a few years ago, but is now a breeze. better transfers, better boats, better hotel. same wonderful resort experience--world's best snorkeling, super guides, delightful accommodations, good food, friendliness all around. I saw new and wonderful creatures underwater, and every snorkel was a delight. an added dimension is learning about the work that this group is doing to conserve the natural treasures of this area, and to fight for the endangered sharks and manta rays.

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Hidden oasis"

Review by: Steven P | Source: Trip Advisor
We have stayed at Maison Wat Kor for very short time with two couples for relaxing and escapre from the crowded world. Definitely this is a little oasis with a lush garden surrounded. The best part of the place - peaceful environment, quiet in the middle of village in Battambang. Our night for dinner was extremly delightful and also having the best talk with the owners during the dinner time too. The set dinner with red wine in the most beautiful enrionments in their little restaurants. Overall it is a very peaceful little Khmer house and definitely recommended.

Very delicious food - loved all three courses. We made a request to swap a menu item from the other course, and they were very accommodating!

Tugu Lombok: "Art, history, and romance” sums it up perfectly"

Review by: Rainxiaor | Source: Trip Advisor
"This resort exceeds the mantra that its owner established: ""The art, history, and romance of Indonesia."" My husband and I kicked off our Indonesia honeymoon here. We are sad that we started with the best, and did not stay longer. As city dwellers, we desperately needed relaxation away from crowds of high stressed people, and this was the perfect tranquil paradise. To sum it up: -#1 is the natural beauty and private luxury of the property. It's not a huge, tourist-packed resort. It feels like home. -Our private villa was bigger than our apartment, with its own plunge pool 10 feet away from the beach. The indoor/outdoor bathroom was interesting and felt like living with nature (don't be scared of ants). Definitely use the mosquito coils outside. -The service is top notch. The staff knew us by name and our daily itinerary; they swiftly responded to every need (transportation requests, lost item on the beach, last minute massage appointments, you name it). They even surprised us the last evening of our stay with a romantic artistic display in our villa. :) -The authenticity of the vast art collection, history, culture, and staff is very cool. You can learn so much about Indonesia history and culture from reading the dining menus or talking to the staff, most of whom are locals. -The food is amazing. The rich multi-asian cultural influences combined with local organic ingredients equates to delicious surprises at every meal. They also serve intercontinental cuisine perfectly. Don't miss the daily tea hour with adorable complimentary desserts! -The private beach is mostly empty and ocean water is super warm. Swim out to the hotel's floating raft to snorkel on the astoundingly clear reef. -Massages at the spa are awesome. You could get used to this! There were very few things to look out for: -Mosquitoes in dark places/at dinner (the hotel provides complimentary mosquito lotion) -Wifi is spotty in some areas (best in dining pavilions) -Don't try to swim/snorkel during low tide (you can walk at knee-deep water for a mile out!) Amazing stay. We can't say enough about our stay and hope that we can return soon!"

Rachamankha: "Best stay in Chiang Mai"

Review by: liezl799 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was one of the most peaceful hotels that I have ever stayed in, it feels like a retreat where the soul is nourished away from the everyday hustle and bustle. The architecture, gardens and decor are amazing. In the morning someone comes to cut the grass with a pair of garden scissors instead of a lawnmower so the peace is just never disturbed. We had lovely meals in the restaurant and enjoyed every send of our visit and we will visit Thailand again for the third time just to stay in this hotel again."

Yandabo Home: "Paradise on Irrawady"

Review by: Chris-sim69 | Source: Trip Advisor
Magnifique hôtel au bord de l'Irrawady, dépaysement total, cadre idyllique, chambre et salle de bain spacieuses et luxueuses, terrasses en surplomb du fleuve, personnel charmant, disponible et souriant, restauration très agréable. alentours pittoresques. Bref, un lieu à ne pas rater entre Mandalay et Bagan.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Fantastic stay"

Review by: z302 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Had a beautiful second floor room, facing the river with a balcony. Location was perfect (little bit quieter part of town but easy to walk everywhere). Comfortable room, comfortable hotel, great for a relaxing vacation. Really enjoyed all interaction with all staff, everyone was helpful and welcoming. Included breakfast was delicious, ample free water was provided. We had a couple of yummy meals in the restaurant. Highly recommend staying here. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

The Village House: "Amazing retreat!"

Review by: louisaclack | Source: Trip Advisor
I stayed here with my boyfriend for two weeks, using it as a base for our day trips around the area. The hotel is gorgeous, very quiet and secluded. The staff were wonderful very thoughtful and very happy to help. Food was also fab, I would recommend doing the Taste of Borneo! xx

Hotel Tugu Bali: "Culture and spirit in a Balinese paradise"

Review by: Catalina Q | Source: Trip Advisor
I stayed in the Garden suite which has a private pool and open air bathroom, along with a private garden and Koi pond...it was one of the most luxurious and lovely hotel stays of my life! Every detail was carefully crafted for my arrival. It was my birthday the day I arrived, and the staff had prepared a special cake and flower arrangement for me in my room. Not to mention that every night there was a simple yet beautiful Balinese offering of frangipani flowers with woven palm leaves and a poem on my bed. The private pool with swing was so enjoyable after a nice day at the beach, and the bathroom with private spa tub was almost like being in a private spa. The breakfast was delicious, the hotel surroundings itself beautiful and serene. Next door you have the beach and several restaurants and boutiques and massage places, and it is still removed from the craziness of Kuta and Seminyak. Will definitely return!
