The Governor’s House: "Boutique hideaway in the city"

Review by: Soph1605 | Source: tripadvisor.com
I stayed only 2 nights at the hotel but Yin Yin and her team really looked after me and it felt like I was a guest in their house. The hotel is beautiful with its antiques but manages to integrate modern amenities. Breakfast and lunch were delicious, with big portions I thought. Although the property in on a boulevard it is secluded enough not to be noisy. It's in walking distance to downtown and its main attractions, so it was the perfect fit for me.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "SUPERB"

Review by: k80H | Source: Trip Advisor
"It is hard to know where to start with a review of this wonderful establishment. The Nepali food on offer was the best we had in Nepal. The staff and management are wonderful. Caring, kind and hospitable. Nothing is too much trouble. We had room 11 and were extremely happy there. Our comfort was paramount to every member of staff. We had the unfortunate experience of my husband becoming quite ill after our 8 day trek and whilst he was in hospital in Pokhara the compassion and concern of the management and staff towards both my husband’s recovery and my well-being was amazing. As well as organising medical care swiftly, they also drove me up and down the mountain daily at my request with never anything but a happy attitude. The management ensured I never felt alone whilst staying there and in fact I felt that I met some truly wonderful people. I can honestly say the experience at the Tiger Mountain Lodge was just like being with family- so comfortable. Thank you all so much - you are wonderful. Adrian and Katie Hollister"

Mathis Retreat: "Stunning"

Review by: Michelle B | Source: Trip Advisor
We only had two nights in Ubud at the end of our two week Bali holiday but I wish we had longer at Kenanga. What a beautiful peaceful hotel. Amazing rooms, helpful staff and such a nice private location. Would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Tugu Lombok: "Fantastic"

Review by: Ian B | Source: Trip Advisor
"This has to be one of the best places we have ever been. So relaxing & looked after with great surroundings with also plenty of things to do with the kids. That is what a holiday is all about. The beach is so clear and perfect for kids as is not too deep! The architecture in this resort is breathtaking and the rooms are luxuries. When you walk in you will be amazed! Plus the food is very good, love the breakfast and everything is so fresh! We will be back! Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"

We were very happy with our stay at Villa Song starting from check-in, room, bed, view, spa, service, staff, dinner, sleep to breakfast an check-out. We will be back for sure! It's like an oasis in HCMC/Thao Dien.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Just Fantastic"

Review by: Kate E | Source: Trip Advisor
"My mum and I stayed here in the luxury tent and it was fantastic. I poked my nose in the more Safari style tent and it was too basic for me but other people seemed to enjoy the adventure. The luxury lodge was air conditioned, spacious, comfortable, ensuite, hot water etc... the lounge for pre and post dinner drinks was welcoming and friendly, the food was AMAZING and the chef will do a cooking demo if you ask. We saw six leopards over four drives, just delighted. We used the back gate of block one and also block five. Such a pleasant experience, not crowded and very successful. When we checked out they asked for feedback, I said a pool would be good - half joking! It's coming! But it's fantastic without anyway. Go go go! Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"

LEOPARD SAFARIS-WILPATTU: "Into the wild and with the wild"

Review by: UdiWickz | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I stayed over at Leopard Safaris, Wilpattu for one night together with family and friends and what a fantastic stay it has been. From the welcome, the game drives, to the meals, the service, the accommodation, the quality of standards has been flawless and consistent. I was very impressed how Pila and Praneeth manage the campsite and ensure that their guests have a wonderful experience and great memories. In comparison to their Yala operations Wilpattu is more towards classical mobile tented camping and the concept really falls in line with becoming one with nature. The campsite is just by the buffer zone of the park and is also teeming with wildlife including bird varieties and other flora and fauna. The game drives are really fun and informative, where Pila shares his vast knowledge on a variety of aspect including wildlife and history. The jeeps are very comfortable and is customised according to international standards. The naturalist does not follow other jeeps in the park and tries their best to give you a very private game drive experience. Meals are simply delicious and has a lot of local colour and flavour to it. The meals are best had in the great outdoors. Thank you Noel and the team for a magical wildlife experience. "

Locavore: "Three hours of foodie bliss"

Review by: Adelaidian10001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had the 7 course non vego menu and were again impressed on our third visit to this restaurant. We came from Sanur to eat here again and it was worth the journey! The kitchen maintained the excellent level of taste sensation in each morsel of the “snacks” and the actual menu courses. My only “mmm not sure” moment was the caffeine fish combination. The tomato consommé with the sorbet, the mushrooms , the varied uses of egg - could go on.... If you have the time and the money and enjoy food as an experience, go. Its around top dollar for Bali, but not in comparison to similar in Australia and Michelin rated restaurants in Europe."

The River Resort: "Luxury by the Mighty Mekong"

Review by: qualicumgirl | Source: Trip Advisor
We three seniors had two goals for this four day layover. One was a good rest after a busy two weeks. The second was to see sunset over the Mekong. We got our rest with fully appointed rooms with balconies overlooking the river, two infinity pools, seating under the trees for Happy Hour and a wonderful menu. Breakfast is included and it is excellent. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. All arrangements were made for our four events, to Wat Phou, aromatherapy massages (with muscle), the sunset cruise, and a walk through the villages and temples on the island across the way in the cool of the morning. There were several families with young children, and other seniors enjoying being pampered, like us. This place is perfect for those two demographics.
