Jing’s Residence: "Not to be missed"

"If you wish to visit Ping Yao while in China, this hotel is THE place to stay. It is, in fact, worth the trip, all by itself. The classic beauty of the old town and a stay at Jing's Residence combines for an unforgettable experience. Aline Wilson "

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Tents with style"

We arrives here after a very long drive fro Phnom Penh and how unusual was it? Reception and booking in twenty minutes by boat from the actual hotel ---bliss. Lovely setting in a river that is just magical with staff mostly from the local village being trained up -- loved it. Rooms are posh tents and are comfortable quiet and well equipped. Our welcome was warm and personal and without exception the staff were efficient professional friendly and eager to please. We took the trip to the waterfalls and spent a very pleasant few hours swimming kayaking and generally enjoying the sights of the area. Our guide was superb and made the trip really enjoyable and memorable. Kayaking the best part of half a mile down the river whilst our guide took piccies was really good fun. Thanks to everyone involved in this worthwhile project in a stunning setting

Satri House: "Excellent 4 day stay"

Lovely 4 day stay here in May 2017. We had a lovely twin rooms, which was very well maintained. The staff was very good and very good at organising tours, restaurants etc. Breakfast was very nice, as was dinner. Excellent spa as well.

Anopura Resort: "Five stars isn’t enough!"

"We were completely blown away by Anopura. If I could give it ten stars it would be too few. There has been great care and skill in the design and furnishing. It's tasteful and comfortable, and Ishwar and the team are superb. They have looking after people well down to a fine art - caring but not fawning. Latika, the loveliest dog in the world broke the ice. Inside a couple of hours we were involved in an international boules tournament involving the other 2 guests, and Ishwar and Dennis. The food was amazing whether it was Indian or European - we had a beautiful cheese shuffle and an amazing salad for lunch within 20 minutes of Ishwar making the suggestion. Go for a walk round the village in the evening and take up the offer of a visit to a ruined local hunting lodge. I won't spoil the surprises. We were there 3 nights and the whole took on a dreamlike quality. The air was clean, the temperature perfect, and the unheated pool invigorating. If it was easier to get there I'd never go anywhere else. As we were leaving Latika just lay there with a sad face instead of rushing up with tail wagging. She seemed very sad to see us leaving. But she wasn't half as sad as we were."

Rachamankha: "Absolutely exquisite"

Arriving at this hotel is so peaceful and Tranquil. Loaded with beautiful antiques and an air of sophistication and luxury not experienced in other parts of Thailand. In the old city this is quintessential old world Asia.

Bali Jiwa Villa: "Paradise in Ubud."

Me and my wife visit Bali for the 8th time and after staying in most of the luxury hotels in Ubud that you all know I was looking for something real and special and then I found this hidden little paradise just 15 min thru rice fields and local villages away from the vibrant Ubud center. The villas are top end as it´s the service and the spot is just a magazine cover picture. Swimming in your private pool right in the rice fileds wathcing the ducks one meter away doing their job every morning. Everybody talks about sunsets near the beach but you have to watch sunset in Jiwa, wow. The food is delicious even the lunch menu is a little bit reduced but is plenty of places in Ubud. Even if it´s your first time in Bali or If you are a repeater as we are it´s a must to spend some time in Jiwa, for sure you won´t regret.It´s the perfect plae to explore Bali as base camp or just relax and do villa living for relaxing.Thanks to the staff and Barbara they made our stay in Ubud a real special one. If we go to Ubud next time for sure we will go back to our Jiwa home. Thanks and best regards.

Jing’s Residence: "Stunning"

An architectural gem--courtyard privacy and elegant spacious public rooms, with grand comfortable bedrooms, a management and wait staff that are friendly, helpful with great suggestions-- amazing hotel by any standard

Inle Princess Resort: "WOW, WOW, WOW – just awesome"

"This place is the best!! I read some of the negative reviews and after staying at this property, I can only assume that the people were on drugs who did not like the place. This beautiful property sits waterfront on the lake. When you boat arrives, they turn off the engine and paddle in so the guests are not disturbed by engine noise. Our room was massive! All wood and just beautiful beyond belief. Same with the bathroom - massive. The big treat was the outdoor shower, we both loved it. No television in the room which is great. Perfect bed and netting around the bed. Dining room was just great with great food. The service was off the chart great - from check in, bar, dining room and even the friendly gardeners. I had a massage which was also just great. Our tour guide picked us up each day in the boat and off we went to see the sites. I regretted not having an extra day just to hang by the pool or sit on my deck, something you might want to think about because it is so peaceful. PROS: Massive room Great air conditioning Great Service Great food - especially breakfast Good drinks Great views of the lake - quiet Great bedding with turn down service They spray for mosquitos like crazy CONS: None I would highly recommend this place. If you are looking for a hot, jumping disco club disco place, this is not for you. If you want to relax and see the sights, this is it!!!"

The Island Lodge: "A touch of paradise"

"We stayed here for two nights this week and really enjoyed our stay. The staff are attentive and caring and the whole atmosphere is very relaxing. The restaurant has a wonderful mix of French and Vietnamese food which is five star quality We spend our days by the pool watching the board go by and saw two magnificent sunsets at the end of the piers. I fully recommend taking advantage of the day trips on offer and they are very good and give a great insight into day to day life on unicorn island. If we are ever in the area again we would love to return. Room tip: try and get a river view room, we stayed in room 3 and it was perfect."

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Absolutely charming"

"The staff were wonderful, the food was terrific, and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Our guide took us to secluded areas of Yala (away from the crowds of jeeps) where we saw leopards mating, leopards sleeping, and leopards messing around being leopards. We spent two great days there, and overall it was a great safari experience! "
