Bassac Mekong Delta Cruises by Secret Retreats: "Wonderful trip"

We had a fantastic overnight cruise on Bassac 3 with the friendly and informative Annie as our guide. The food was delicious and the trip to the local village, where some of Annie’s relatives live, was a genuine glimpse of life on the Mekong Delta. The boat trip the following day to the floating market was just as enjoyable and eating freshly chopped fruit on one of the boats was a highlight.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Sumptuous dinner in cozy ambience"

"We dined at Supanniga outlet in Sathorn Soi 10 for dinner. Premises is cozy and relaxing with darken interiors. Seating capacity is limited which provides a sense of homeliness and accords privacy to diners. A full bar provides wines, alcohol and cocktails to accompany the Thai meal. Food portions are good, even for 2 diners, not miserly nor excessive. For our dinner of six persons, we ordered a selection of eleven dishes. Each of them varies in taste and intensity. Together, they sent our taste buds on overdrive! Meat dishes were tender; fried items were crispy and not oily; soup was hot; spicy dishes were just right. Service was prompt and the dishes were served in quick succession. We enjoyed the dishes together and were able to compare and discuss their flavours. Empty dishes were removed promptly, allowing new ones to be served. Although it was a busy night for the restaurant, our dinner was leisurely and we did not feel hurried by the staff to finish our meal. Prices were reasonable and commensurate with the quality of the dishes."

Arumdalu: "a hidden gem filled with surprises"

We never expect to find such a refine place at the very southern tip of Belitung island. A very creative and delicate cuisine, sustainable practices to save energy or natural fogging, an attentive service, large villa with private pool, 800m of white sand beach and beautiful landscape. Only recommend to people who appreciate quiet beauty!!!

Tugu Bali: "Go there"

"We spent four nights at the Tugu last week as part of a holiday intended for rest and gentle exploration of the area. The hotel is lovely: full of beautiful antiques expertly arranged in public areas and in rooms which are spacious and very private.The gardens are lush and lovingly maintained. But the people are what make it. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and they are genuinely committed to making your stay memorable. There is none of the stiff formality of some high-end chains where the feeling is that guests are lucky to be there. The Tugu staff make you feel the opposite, that they are glad to have you as their guests. The food was delicious and the cookery lesson I enjoyed was one of the highlights of the whole holiday. If you are going to Canggu, don't consider anywhere else. The Tugu is a haven of peace and style. Thank you! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Muang La Lodge: "Beautiful lodge"

Mung La Lodge is a beautiful ecolodge and a bit of paradise. The hot spring baths, the wonderful dinners and the terrific service contribute to a terrific relaxing stay. We stayed three nights and didn't want to leave.

Inle Princess Resort: "Nature and quiet"

"You have to sail in a small canoe for a few minutes before getting there, it's very quiet and beatiful surrranded by nature. We were there in a cold season so at night they make a fireplace in room which keep youwarm all night long. All villas have a huge window and terrase to look at the lake and rest. There are planty of birds around and night is full of ""singing "" frogs! There are mosquitos not too many, that's normal at lake side! Dinner is served in hotel restaurant and it s veru tasty as the breakfast a'la carte. Going to town for food is nonsense. All staff is doing their best to keep you in good mood. PS. Dear Lauren if you are rude maybe the manager is rude too!"

Manda De Laos: "A gem"

We went here as it was close to our hotel and it was pouring with rain. We were not disappointed, the setting was lovely, set around a pond and beautifully lit. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. Well worth a visit.

Rahai’i Pangun: "WOW Borneo tour was fabulous!!!! Well organized and lots of fun"

I really enjoyed the tour in central Borneo with Gayle of WOW Borneo. We traveled by boat on a large river and toured lakes off the river by canoe. We saw orangutans and monkeys butterflies and unique plants. We traveled to remote lakes tea stained from the ancient forest in the late afternoon the reflections were breathtaking. The food was delicious and accommodation very adequate and clean for being in such a remote place. We toured villages that did not have tourists visit on a regular basis and were welcomed with the biggest smiles. The tour was 5 days and we covered a lot of ground a great experience for the adventure seeker attempting to be Behr Grils.

tugu lombok: "Paradiso"

This place stunned me. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. The staff was great and very helpful. Every single thing I ate at the resort was a total culinary pleasure. Breakfast on the beach, candlelit dinner on the rooftop, fresh juice by the pool. We went in the down season and it meant that we felt basically alone. Our room and private pool were so enchanting and the recovered and traditional artwork all over the resort really makes this place something special. Probably one of my favourite places I've ever stayed if you just want to escape. There is also a number of interesting things to do around the resort like visiting the Gili Islands or the volcano. A++

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "A quiet place to relax and recharge"

Neeleshwar Hermitage is a place to take time out and relax. It is situated on the Arabian Sea, miles of empty beach and palm trees. The Rooms are comfortable and private. There are two restaurants, one in the main building and more formal, the second is set on the sand, under the palm trees facing the sea. Delicious food. I had a cookery lesson and was shown how to make dishes within five minutes which suited the individual's taste. The town was quite close by and we reached this by tuk tuk. There was also a gorgeous spa where I indulged in aromatherapy and reflexology and a discussion with a doctor on diet and general health. We also had a cruise on the Lotus, and old rice boat, which had been converted into a beautiful houseboat. The houseboat was a five minute drive from the Heritage. Strongly recommended. A wonderful visit.
