Hotel Tugu Bali: "hidden gem in plain sight"

"i am a vintage girl when it come to property, and i already known tugu as one of the heritage hotels in Indonesia. Never visit the other site tho, but the brand is all about antique and vintage Javanese set up in my mind. And the one in Bali for sure was stunning set up. With all old Javanese furniture in lashes green surrounding. As now, the area is becoming upscale and trendy and hip area, Tugu hotel is seriously get away from modern and chic neighborhood in just steps away. If you like vintage hotel, this is THE one."

Manda De Laos: "Great experience, great celebration and great food"

"Went there yesterday evening for my wife secret birthday so emailed the restaurant few weeks ago as we knew we would be in Luang Prabang that specific day. The restaurant manager replied really promptly confirming dates hours etc. The restaurant looks stunning and give you a first great impression. Our good surprise was to find out that the restaurant manager gave us the special table in the middle of the pond so you get your privacy. I didn't know even myself so was really impressed and happy. Makes it quite romantic and perfect for the occasion. Food also was great, we had lao pork meatballs to start to share, for main we had the ribs and duck, was delicious. For desert we were full so shared a lovely coconut creme brulee. Then came another surprise after our desert with staff bringing another desert with candle and singing happy birthday. Such a nice and sweet attention mainly when I did not ask for anything but manager had the note from my reservation it was special occasion. We truly enjoyed our dinner and can only recommend it. Not a criticism as it did not affect our happiness but small constructive information, the cocktail menu has lots of vodka based drinks (all expect one based on whisky). Unfortunately that's the only alcohol my wife does not drink so would be nice to have other cocktail options. The other thing more informative for people who have never been, the food is quite refine and we would usually not go when travelling in South East Asia. It was mainly because it was special occasion for us so if you are like us you might not enjoy it but again all was amazing. It is definitely more expensive than average Lao prices but not overpriced for the service and food we had. Just thought I would mention this as I saw some bad reviews on this place which I think is more due to choosing not suitable place than the restaurant itself not being great. Hope that make sense. Basically just enjoy this amazing restaurant."

Samuay & Sons: "Number 1"

"Fabulous! Chef/ owner trained in San Fransico for 2 years, and has worked at an array of influential restaurants and hotels. Talented and gifted, his dishes are extraordinarily delicious, and put together with mindful thought and experience. Udon Thani is very fortunate to have such a master of food and will undoubtably be launched into celebrity status soon. Restaurant is tastefully decorated, I only wish the seats were padded, and menu had pictures. Staff very professional all wearing matching uniforms. It is only a matter of time, this restaurant will be rated number one (1) in Udon Thani!"

Sukoon Houseboat: "SIMPLY the BEST"

I returned here in 2016 for another week because I had stayed the previous year and I couldn't wait to get back.This must be THE BEST LUXURIOUS houseboat on Daal Lake with the most attentive staff.Breakfast on the roof is what travelling worth saving our time and money for. Lunch and Dinner are carefully prepared.The ambience of the Houseboat,its architecture ,its setting on the furthermost quiet part of the lake and all the wonderful staff are well worth venturing to this amazing part of the world for an experience that will stay with you in your most unique travel memories.

Reverie Siam: "Must Stay while in Pai"

"Booked Reverie Siam without hesitation when I learned this resort is one member of secret retreats, where I used to had exceptional stay at Rachamankha in Chiang Mai in 2014. I'm not very clear what's the background of the secret retreats organisation, seems it's a collection of small boutique hotel in the world. I'm so happy that this decision was absolutely right, we had again an outstanding stay here at Reverie Siam, and I definitely recommend to all TripAdvisor reviewer who going to visit Pai. We took mini van from Chiang Mai ends up at Pai Bus terminal, called to the resort and been told they could pick us up, within 10 minutes the hotel TuTu is already here. Smooth check in and we were been showed to our Deluxe Garden View room, the resort only have 20 rooms in total, however it occupied a huge piece of land, with plenty of plantation offers absolute privacy. Spacious room decorated classic antique and made us a calm mood. Toiletries were all handmade local ingredients, strong rain shower clear our tiredness away. Swimming pool also surrounded by trees and flowers and butterflies are everywhere, we are enjoyed the mountain view from the pool, and as only 20 rooms, so not often met other guest, so when the time we visited, became our private pool. What a wonder land! Breakfast is amazing! After so many hotel I stayed, I tend to love a la carte menu rather than international full spread buffet, as for buffet, so much similarity among different hotels, I cam remember the list of buffet items, that's really boring, but an a la carte menu are different, it is carefully selected item with sincerity from chef and it certainly delicately presented to please my appetite. This time I had egg benedict and transitional Thai porridge, both are delicious! Only one little thing could improve will be the wifi connection a bit slow or certain area no signal, I understand the land is big it may occur sometime. Hotel TuTu is frequently available when you need to go Pai walking street or come back to hotel, just give them a call. After we check out, staff were so nice, still send us to next hotel in Pai. My strongest recommendation to stay Reverie Siam if you are here."

The Cabochon Hotel: "Urban Bangkok feel — Hit it twice this so far"

"For those seeking to experience the vibe of Bangkok as a psuedo-denizen for a couple of days -- that is, to live/to sleep amid that ordinary urban street mix of local food vendors adjacent to gleaming skyscrapers, [and, with some solid benefits such as a being near a handy supermarket, the Skytrain Phrom Phong stop, a hip juice bar, and a small city park] the Cabochon offers this kind of feel in the Thai metropolis. It's not on the famed river, and it's not super luxury. Rather, it's under-the-radar subtle. Hidden down a small alley from that urban mix, the colonial-era building is a sweet spot -- surrounded by lush foliage and filled inside with Asian collectibles. Venture out into the Bangkok chaos, and return back to the chill of the Cabochon, where the genuinely warm staff will greet you with smiles -- more smiles when you order a couple of rounds of mojitos. Relaxed without anyone in your grill. Clean, more than acceptable, not over-priced. And best, it is super understated."

The Hue House: "Amazing and Excellent Value"

"We look for a restaurant Close to our hotel and this was one of 6. It had excellent reviews and we wholly endorse that view. We were warmly greeted and looked after by friendly smiling staff. Who were keen to serve but not over attentive in doing so, just as we preferred. The choice of food was traditional/regional Vietnamese and was superb. Excellent appetisers and main courses This is a little gem and not that busy probably because it is accessed via a main office building reception. Located on the 10th floor it enjoys commanding views over the city. Highly recommended."

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Excellent"

We were a bit reluctant to go as it was 40 minutes from the hotel in the awful Yangon traffic, but it was superb and well worth it - despite the restaurant having a party of 100 Swiss pensioners there as well! The food and service were terrific.

Inle Princess Resort: "A dream come to life"

Absolutely beautiful in every way! This was the highlight of our 2 week vacation in Inle Lake. The staff is courteous and friendly, and the food we had for dinner each night was better than some of the meals we have had in New York City. The bikes they rented us for our ride up to forest monastery were so much better than the ones we saw other tourists walking up the hill (mountain bikes with different gears) and they customized an itinerary for us for our one full day in Inle Lake so we could visit the hot springs at Khaung Daing (highly recommended towards the end of the day) and see the floating markets and various other sites. I wish I could remember the name of the man who took us around on our motor boat for the day -- he was an absolute pleasure! The outdoor showers in the rome are a nice romantic touch, and the sunsets from the deck of the rooms have to be seen to be believed (will try to upload pictures and add later). Though the Wi fi connection was spotty, who wants to be on the Internet when you rate surrounded by so much nature and beauty?! (If totally necessary, the connection by the reception and restaurant was reliable). Kudos to all of the staff -- you made our stay in Inle Lake a highlight of a lifetime of traveling!
