Tandjung Sari: "12 Days at Tandjung"

Our stay was very close to perfect- we selected a garden villa as our home base for the family holiday. The staff at Tandjung were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Starting each day with a shower (in the private outside villa courtyard) then having breakfast on the beachfront was a daily highlight for me. The villa and the grounds and the facilities around the resort were immaculate and the security staff at both ends of the property added to a sense of exclusivity. And lastly, Tandjung is great value; a similar quality room at a Seminyak resort cost my cousin more than double the rate. We will come back to Tandjung Sari for sure.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Safari"

We were at the camp sit for a night in a tent and we had a safari. It was a greath journey. The hole set up was amazing and the guides really know a lot about wildlife. The food is delicious and the nature is wonderful.

Rachamankha: "Incredible!"

This was our favorite boutique hotel in Chang Mai, Thailand. It was located down a side street, but was an incredible venue. The architecture and flow was impressive. The rooms were comfortable and beautiful. The grounds were laid out artfully and were gorgeously landscaped. Breakfast and meals there were wonderful. We stayed several days and were able to sample almost everything on their menu and were never disappointed. They also have a small museum on property that should not be missed. The hotel was a refuge of tranquility and beauty. Very close to major attractions all of which were a short drive away. Highly recommended for romance or architecture lovers!

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Great food & great staff"

It was a bit hard to book this restaurant since it was full occupied almost everyday. Food and staff there was great!

Muang La Lodge: "Peaceful place with very accommodating staff"

"The staff, premises and rooms make this place wonderful. Staff is extremely accommodating and anticipates every need. You don't ever get ""no"" as an answer. The amount of effort the staff gives is unmatched, especially in such a remote location. Food is great not amazing. They gave me extra portions since I was a big eater which was very kind. The Of Rice and Men excursion was great w an amazing picnic lunch. For our other excursion, Mountain bikes were mediocre but good enough for our ride. Not trails but back dirt roads. We also selected to do a full day hike w a guide. The part we did was great but if you plan on doing a hike make sure you ask some questions and prepare accordingly. We weren't warned until last minute about the potential leeches that would inevitably crawl on us during a certain point in the hike. We ended up not getting that far anyway as we cut our long hike short when we reached an extremely steep area w loose gravel. Getting down would have been too difficult. We are fit and intermediate hikers and it wouldn't have been enjoyable. Overall the Muang La Lodge experience was great. The price is what it is, and I found myself wondering if I could have found a better deal for a similar experience in Laos. Make no mistake, you're definitely in some great hands at the lodge."

The Island Lodge: "Lovely Oasis on Two-Day Bike Tour"

We stayed at the property in later December 2016 on the night in the middle of a two-day bike trip. After a long morning and part of the afternoon on bikes we were very happy to arrive at this beautiful property. The owner and his staff are very welcoming and the rooms were spacious and very clean. The bathroom is well decorated with pretty rocks in one section of the shower and lovely ceramic mugs near the sink. We had booked ahead to ensure we could each have a massage that afternoon and the spa is small but pretty. There is a large pool and deck area along the river but it was cool enough that we were not interested in sitting out by the pool. We had a cocktail in the bar area which is open on all sides and has a fun decor that incorporates old world items. The restaurant was good but we were not clear at the time of booking that we would be on a set menu. I think we would have preferred to order a la carte. All in all a good stay and we would return if in the area.

The Island Lodge: "Perfect start to our Vietnamese adventure."

"Beautiful hideaway in the middle of the Mekong Delta. Room, food, staff and pool amazing; we loved our stay. A special thank-you to the wonderful gardener who jumped fully clothed into the Mekong to rescue my bifocal glasses when they accidentally dropped into river ! Thanks Amanda & Martin x"

Villa Song Saigon: "Fantastic boutique hotel on the river"

"We had 2 rooms and both were great. They are a little small but enough space for luggage. The room was well appointed. Mini bar and breakfast are included and if you are hungry you can have multiple breakfasts. The food was excellent. The outdoor dining area is beautiful and you don't feel like your are in the middle of the city. The staff are attentive and go out of their way to accommodate. We will definitely return. "

Cuca: "Gastronomic delight"

A womderful find in Bali nestled in a beautiful setting. The food is brilliant and service is excellent. Its mostly sharing/tapas styled food with a twist. Sophisticated dining in a relaxed environment!

Jing’s Residence: "Highly recommend"

"We stayed two nights at Jing's Residence and what an amazing experience it was. A wonderful oasis of calm and tranquillity. The traditional Chinese courtyard style of residence with the modern facilities is very tastefully combined. The service could not be faulted. Staff were both attentive and friendly. We had a delicious Chinese meal in the restaurant and a most enjoyable afternoon tea in the beautiful upstairs room/library. Breakfast was very good too. There are many little touches which make Jing's residence unique and which were much appreciated. I particularly enjoyed the honeyed dates. Also enjoyed was the tea (ginger and honey) served on arrival whilst we waited for our passports to be checked. Pingyao is a small walled city and we were fortunate to have a guide who was able to take us to places of historical interest in the vicinity. We would definitely recommend Jing's Residence. It has a wonderful atmosphere and is very welcoming. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"
