Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Just… wow!"

"Speechless. Following a 3 hour drive north from the airport and then getting onto a small boat at a dock in the middle of nowhere, you get ferried away from the mainland for an hour and a half. Making your way past small islands and following a remote coast of golden sand you arrive on the beach where you wade through the warm shallow clear water to get to the jeep. Being whisked off to a remote hut, there is just your hut which is about 50 mtrs away from the next. Peace. Quiet. Nature. Sand. Sun. Remoteness. 100 mtrs from the beach, the views are endless. Waking up, going to sleep, just the noise of birds, bugs, a dog in the distance, monkeys and waves crashing. (...)Taking a canoe down at the other end, it's possible to paddle out to another small island off shore. Or walk around to one of the other very tiny resorts. If you want nightlife, shopping, clubs, bars, socialising, fine food, luxury accommodation, cleanliness and an abundance of modern comforts - this is not for you. If you want adventure, solitude, being with nature, charming and quaint cabins, beach and being undisturbed then book straight away. I would love to go back."

MesaStila: "Wonderful Relaxing Family Vacation"

"My family (wife, toddler and an infant) spent 3 days at MesaStila over the 2015 Chinese New Year. The facilities are wonderful and even with 3 nights stay we did not have enough time to enjoy all the amenities. Our 20 month old daughter loved the opportunity to run free in the grass and splash away in the shallow section of the pool. (...)The staff were very friendly and helpful with all requests. A wonderful time in a wonderful place."

David’s Kitchen: "King David"

David, The first of many best parts of our visit was your warm greeting. Hospitality at its finest. Then the delectable dishes of magnificently presented food. as a good as it gets. Please come to Chicago & make that pumpkin soup. Each course surpassed the next. I too would partner for life with a woman who could create that chocolate mousse. Kudos to your staff. The grand finale, a man proposed to a woman on Chinese Valentines Day. Cue the applause & thank god she said yes.

Jing’s Residence: "Do not miss this!"

We spent two lovely nights at this boutique hotel while visiting Pingyao. It is beautiful, serene and wonderfully restored. Our room was not large, but very well appointed with a king platform bed, desk, armoire and mini-fridge with complementary drinks and snacks. The bathroom was perfect with a large shower with great hot water pressure. We ate in the restaurant our first night, and it was terrific! As usual in China, the food was modestly priced and the wine was fairly expensive. But we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! But the thing that make this little gem excel is the staff. We travel a lot and I don't think we have ever found a place where every staff member was so welcoming! Everyone spoke English and wanted to practice their skills whenever they could. When we went out, we were welcomed back with an opened front door. When we came in for breakfast (very good and a broad selection), we were greeted by name and asked how we slept. Everyone consistently had a smile on their faces! It was a joy to stay here!

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Excellent location and atmosphere"

We are a family of 4 and enjoyed the Apsara very much. Fantastic pool (only allowed at this side of the river) and genuine service of the caring staff. Price quality for room, facilities, service and location is excellent!

Tugu Bali: "Sleep in a museum: luxury retreat in traditional Balinese style"

"his lovely hotel is a great place to stay in Bali. The location is absolutely fabulous as Canggu is THE hotspot in Bali right now and Tugu Bali is situated in the epicentrum of this popular area. Seriously the best hotel location in Bali. Around the hotel you will find the most popular surf beaches and the crowd in this surfer villag is young and hip. There are great places to eat around, all hip and trendy. So is also the Japanese restaurant attached to the resort. Great food! The rooms are super spacious and extremely lovely. It was a lovely stay in the Dedari suite and the bed is king king king king size, so huge! There was a private pool with complete privacy in the garden. The bathroom is super cute as it has window that open over a fishpond: feels like taking a bath with koi fishes. The resort is super quiet and there are guards running around to make sure only guests walk around. Disappointed is the WiFi signal, which hardly works. The restaurant and lobby has a pretty ok connection, but in 2016 you want it in your room to work. This is definitely something the hotel should improve, especially in hip and modern Canggu. The breakfast can be served at all times during the day everywhere you wish, so you just order it a la carte and it will be served on the bed, in your garden or on the beach. Oh it is delicious!!!! Try out the lovely complimentary high tea, indulge yourself with local sweets. Such a great service as well! The staff is super nice and always willing to help you wherever you can. The 60min massage we took was ok. Good, just not the best ever!. All in all Tugu resort is one of my favorite places to stay in Bali. The friendly staff, the lovely quiet location, the spacious rooms, the delicious breakfast and so on... Def will go back!"

The Island Lodge: "Excellent Hotel perfect for relaxation"

"This gem is located within Mekong delta and offers piece and quiet, beautiful ambiente and very helpful and friendly staff. There are a few rooms which ensure no mass tourism. Slow food and tranquility, perfect hospitality and harmony are the keywords. We stayed there for 3 days and enjoyed a pre-paradise experience. Especially the spa with different types of massages is a soul-supporting experience. The rooms are clean with the option to use an airconditioning. The bathroom and shower is clean and showing lots of litte details which sum up to a very special hotel. At every step one finds another detail which makes this hotel a personal little home. We felt at home instantly and will return as soon as possible. For our little lady of the age of 9 it was a paradise. The pool is clean (which we did not spot everywhere in even more expensive hotels in South East Asia). The Coconut Smoothie became her favourite drink. :-) We enjoyed boat cruises and a visit at the next town's pagoda with impressive statues. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful - even by Asian standards. The transfer from HCMC to the hotel gave us a good possibilty for a first insight to people and country. We recommend this gem for everyone who seeks piece and quiet in a very special atmosphere within a safe and clean environment. We are looking forward to our next stay at the Island Lodge."

satrin house: "beautiful antique design"

"Stayed few days in this beautiful hotel! The design is antique and it makes your stay special. Great service in the hotel, nice breakfast. 7 min from the night market/center, and free bicycle in the hotel make it faster. Highly recommended hotel in Luang Prabang "

Villa Song Saigon: "Perfect Oasis in Saigon"

Saigon can be hectic to say the least, and having Villa Song to come back to every day absolutely made our trip. The rooms, the pool, the outdoor and indoor dining areas are all beautifully appointed. And the staff is some of the friendliest we have encountered. The location is incredibly convenient. The hotel provides a free boat shuttle to get down town which also removes much of the stress of getting to and from the city. Being right on the river, in the comfort of Villa Song was truly wonderful. We didn't want to leave and will never stay anywhere else in Saigon!
