Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Superb place , fantastic cause"
Inle Heritage hotel is one of the best boutique hotels in Myanmar. Not only offers superb accommodation (only six stilt bungalows for the guests) in a beautiful environment, but the owner offers every year free courses related to tourism industry to Burmese students from the area. The stuff was sweet and helpful , most of them graduates from hotel's academy. They also produce their own vegetables which they use in the restaurant. By staying here, you also contribute to local community. Highly recommended!Tugu Bali: "A Hidden Gem – Romantic and Relaxing"
We had a wonderful stay at Tugu, Bali whose mission is to bring back to life the art, soul and romance of Indonesia and it certainly does. It was by far my favourite hotel on the island. There are so many wonderful historical artefacts on the property, we really enjoyed wondering the hotel to look at them and learn about some of Bali's history. The hotel’s theatrically large entrance lobby creates an impression of grandeur. While there are plenty of unique areas to enjoy a romantic breakfast/lunch/dinner. What I loved about Tugu was the friendly staff and the attention to detail. Staying true to the romance element, when our room was turned down, beautiful poems were left by the bed with an array of fresh local flowers. The bath in our suite was incredible and the flower petals added to the ambiance. For Honeymooners and anyone looking for something a little bit special -Tugu is a must!The Cabochon Hotel: "Wonderful hideout in central Bangkok"
"I had a wonderful time here during my very first visit to Bangkok. My arrival at the hotel was very early in the morning around 5am, and obviously the room was not ready for check-in until 2pm, but I was kindly offered a room in the ground floor lounge with tea and fruits to relax before the city wakes up - it was very helpful for me to have some space to unwind after my flight from Japan. The Queen Studio with a double bed, shower and balcony was spacious enough for myself and the room was tidy and clean. The interior of the room and the hotel was in colonial style with a hint of chinoiserie with warm atmosphere. The rooftop pool is not very big, but it gives you a luxuary to look over the skyline of Sukhumvit and chill. As for the restaurant, I did not have a chance to try it this time, unfortunately. The hotel is conveniently located at the end of a short soi 45 of Sukhumbit between Phrom Phong and Thong Lo (slightly closer to the former), roughly 5 minutes walk from the BTS stations."Les Maisons d’Itac: "Absolutely Amazing"
It's no wonder that this resort is listed in Secret Retreats www.secret-retreats.com - probably one of the best resorts in the South Western part of Cebu Island, what a find! The resort only has 5 accommodation types from houses to studio types. Very modern, staff excellent, manager amazing, food fantastic - I can say all wonderful things about Les Maison d'Itac! Plus, it is absolutely child friendly, the pool is located in a safe distance and the beach is only 2steps down, we were never worried having kids around. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone visit Cebu! I will definiely return in the future.Amata Lanna: "Peaceful and beautiful"
Absolute gem in the heart of Chiang Mai. Close to everything and yet removed and peaceful. Staff was exceptionally helpful (finding rides, giving restaurant recommendations, giving directions, etc), grounds and room were spotless, beds comfortable. I cannot say enough lovely things about this spot. Breakfast was fantastic and cost was just right! I would absolutely stay here again! Close to a number of great restaurants and the ever so popular night market. A winner all around!Rachamankha: "Enchanting oasis"
"This is a lovely boutique hotel with delicious food served in a beautiful courtyard, pleasant staff and a relaxing, quiet swimming pool lined with comfortable chaise lounges. Rooms are traditional and large, if a bit spartan. The owner's curated Asian art collection adds to the peaceful atmosphere. There is also a gorgeous library containing a mix of beautiful books belonging to the owner and paperbacks left by other visitors; we took advantage of this to swap our finished paperbacks for some left by other readers. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"The Cabochon Hotel: "Charming Boutique Hotel"
"Amazing! The decor and building have so much character. The staff was extremely attentive. This was a relaxing retreat in the middle of bustling Bangkok. Breakfast was incredible and something we looked forward to each day. Convenient location near a BTS stop. Would highly recommend. "Villa Song: "What a wonderful gem of a hotel"
"I stayed in this lovely hotel for three nights and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Let’s start with the property, the Villa is so beautiful and charming. The furnishings are well appointed and the size of the room itself is comfortable and roomy. The bathroom was especially relaxing with everything you would need. The room comes with a complimentary mini-bar that is re-stocked daily and the bed was so comfortable. The grounds are inviting with a super large lap pool and a small but very adequate gym. Start your day with breakfast sitting next to the Saigon River and finish with a cocktail while relaxing next to the river. The staff is superb and very knowledgeable, the manager definitely is of top quality and explains why the staff is the same. They assisted me with booking a tour of the Mekong and I was very satisfied. I will definitely stay at this property on a future visit. If planning a trip to Saigon, definitely stay at the Villa Song as you won’t be disappointed. Make sure you eat as many meals as possible as the it is a gastronomical delight that will leave your palate dancing for days."Talabgaon Castle: "spectacular stay in maharadscha style heritage resort"
On our way from agra via ranthambore to jaipur, we spent two days in this wonderful castle. We are more than happy about this stop. Excellent service around the clock, very delicious food and first of all a beautiful architecture (incl. the pool) with many spots to spend relaxing and romantic days. The owner gives very interesting historical insights and the villages around are absolutely worth to be visited. Strong recommendation from our side!Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "The perfect break!"
Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge provided the perfect break from the rush, noise and dust in city life in Nepal. From the moment you arrive the staff are attentive and provide helpful information in a non intrusive way. The rooms, each a cottage on its own, are spacious, comfortable and every need is catered for. Early morning views of the mountains are spectacular and visible from each of the rooms. The food is so good at each meal, individual needs having been taken into account, it is worth losing a bit of weight before staying there. A place to be returned to.
