David’s Kitchen: "Absolutely amazing!"

Review by: KimmyDula | Source: Trip Advisor
The food was beyond exceptional, but it was the service that was over the top. This is an upscale restaurant that could easily compete with the best of the best and it is the staff that make your experience completely unique. From the person who greets you at the door, to the person who literally walked us right out to our car, everyone went above and beyond to make our night incredibly special. This is the only restaurant that I have ever visited where my husband and I were treated like royalty, but without the pretentious, stuffy feeling that you get when you are at most fine dining establishments. I'm not quite sure how David and Prom create this atmosphere, but this is what will keep people coming back. Thank you to everyone at David's Kitchen for a night we will never forget.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Amazing Sanak Retreat!"

Review by: Aghpt | Source: Trip Advisor
"Amazing stay at Sanak Retreat! We loved every minute! The Retreat is beautiful, the villas very comfortable, the decoration is outstanding and it looks like ""time stand still""! The service, the food and the attention to all our needs were fantastic! The Spa was amazing and the 3 hours walking tour was very nice and an educative activity. We leave in Bali and it was a great getaway with the family. Hardly recommend for a few days relaxation. Thank you Sanak Team! We will be back! Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"

Yandabo Home: "Don’t just go for 1night"

Review by: grahamb56 | Source: Trip Advisor
Great hotel and an imaginative way to help regenerate the 2 local villages. The rooms are built to a very high standard, with filtered water at the taps, wet rooms and some of the largest beds I've experienced. Great food for dinner and breakfast...right by the river...you'll love it!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Uniquely laid back"

Review by: skittle999 | Source: Trip Advisor
It takes a while to reach this one-off location, but it's worth the 5 hour drive from Phnom Penh. Each tent is extremely well equipped and Anna, our host, is great company. Dont come here if you demand constant wifi or excellent service: the staff are willing and friendly, but are being trained up from scratch, so a spirit of tolerance is essential. Activities are limited and the wildlife largely non existent, but there can be few better places in the world to float on a river pontoon in luxury, whilst enjoying an escape from reality, good food and friendly attention. You can swim in the river, which is surprisingly warm. We each had a 90 minute (expert) massage at an absurdly low price, kayaked through the mangroves, and were led on a three hour tour of the surrounding forests. Happy memories!

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Something to remember at Noel’s Leopard Safari"

Review by: desilva | Source: tripadvisor.com
"My wife & I with two friends stayed at Noel's leopard safaris for one night. Did a safari & saw leopard (quite healthy & large) at about 6.30 pm on 13 August '15. This camp is beautiful, unusual and yet very comfortable (our honeymoon room was 5 star) and has a ""wow"" factor you don't find in many places. Very friendly staff, with superb service, also they serve some sumptuous meals (with local produce) with lovely wines and other spirits. We highly recommend this camp to anyone who loves wild life and appreciate efficient service. Thank you Noel, hope to see you again. Sharmaine & Roshan (Sydney,Australia) "

GLENBURN TEA ESTATE: "Mrs"

Review by: EmilyB-N | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Our adventure was with our two best friends & our four children. Be prepared for a bumpy ride to get to Glenburn but once you make it, it's like your very own piece of Eden! The bedrooms are exquisitely decorated with beautiful Indian material & very comfortable all with electric blankets & glorious white cotton sheets. We stayed in the Planters suite which boasts a huge four-poster bed as well as a single bed for our 3 year old daughter & Glenburn provided a travel cot for our younger daughter. We were all very comfortable & warm during our 3 night stay. The staff are exceptional & will stop at nothing to help make your stay the best it can be. They are charming & polite & were fantastic with our children. We even managed a child free day when we did the 2 hour walk to the river & stayed for a leisurely lunch while the children were looked after by the team. On our return they were all happily exhausted from a day of outside playing & two very content couples had a peaceful night! The food is utterly delicious, with lots of it grown from the beautifully kept Glenburn garden - I definitely put on weight over my 3 night stay! One of Glenburns other charms is being able to enjoy a delectable 3 course dinner in the lovely dining room in the company of the other guests who are from all over the world. It is so interesting sharing travelling stories & hearing others different experiences. All in all I cannot rate Glenburn more highly & hope very much that I will return again. Many thanks to you all at Glenburn for making our stay such a happy one - we all loved it! "

Rachamankha: "Lovely Boutique Hotel- excellent location"

Review by: camcam777 | Source: Trip Advisor
Loved this little gem! Excellent location right by the main temple in town. 5 minute walk to the Friday & Saturday night market. Staff was very friendly, we left at 5am for flight and they made us a breakfast box to go. The included breakfast was lovely!

Manda De Laos: "Romantic dinner simply divine"

Review by: robertkeusen99 | Source: Trip Advisor
"In the hotel complex Maison Dalabua, the restaurant Manda de Laos is an amazing oasis in the middle of the city. Beautiful garden with UNESCO-classified lily ponds is very nice grouped around a lotus pond (very well kept, in the evening beautiful lit). The cook understands his craft and the service, above the restaurant manager Ambroise S, pay attention to trifles. Special requests are gladly and quickly carried out. As a tourist, you are pleased (rightly!) about a romantic dinner at the lily pond of this very well maintained hotel area. Excellent Lao cuisine, the menus offer a good selection of typical dishes. Everything fresh and excellent quality. The prices are upscale, but appropriate. Staff very friendly, courteous and professional. It is certainly one of the best restaurants in Luang Prabang. Pleasant wine selection. We were very thrilled!"

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Best food in wonderful hotel"

Review by: elisabetha95 | Source: Trip Advisor
It is one of the most wonderful decorated places in Bangkok with the best Thai food we have ever had! And we had a lot of Thai food within the last 24 years visiting Bangkok every year at least once. Having a break and left in paradise The Cabochon is the place to go. Service is excellent and the whole house is just stunning. If you want to have your special moment-Cabochon is the place to experience it! And I am not mentioning the pool on the roof and the hotel rooms (secret gem)

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Beautiful, romantic retreat"

Review by: Jenny M | Source: Trip Advisor
We booked a two-bedroom bungalow and the views of both the sunrise and sunset were amazing. Surrounded by farms, we practically had the retreat to ourselves as it was the low season. The retreat is eco-friendly and offers a range of spa and massage services. Total relaxation, perfect climate and a great place to lounge around the pool. We will definitely re-visit and stay longer.
