Satri House: "A Royal Stay"

"Everything about this place was enjoyable. The former royal residence was elegant, charming and personable. You feel like staying at someone's home or should I say palace. When you arrive its like entering into a different era. The decor, rooms and grounds are all beautiful. Lots of nooks to find and settle in. The staff was very friendly and accommodating - even helped us with learning a view Laotian phrases. Hang out at the poolside bar before heading out. Very impressed with the hotel restaurant. Great breakfast with fresh bread etc. With so many restaurant choices in LP, we actually chose to eat our last dinner at the hotel and its was best decision. There is also a very good place right across the side street called Manda de Laos - expensive for LP but very reasonable and good. The one thing that concerned us when we book was the distance to the main area in LP. In reality, being a little secluded was preferable as the hotel was quiet and tranquil. We typically walked into town which takes 5-7 minutes. And if you don't want to walk its quite easy to get a cheap tuk tuk or take one of the hotel's bikes. We considered 3 Nagas but we made right choice. For recommendations in LP, check out Naga Creations. Its owned by a french expat that creates local artisan jewelry. I normally don't shop on vacation but this was an exception. We look forward to returning. To Giovanni and his staff - Kop chai lai lai!"

Reverie Siam: "Bucolic Bliss"

Following a vertigo-inducing drive through the precipitous one-lane highway from Chiang Mai to Pai we were greeted effusively by the staff at Reverie Siam. Check-in was pleasantly brisk and we were whisked away to our villa.  Rather than succumbing to any ephemeral breezes of fashion the hotel's owners have brilliantly transformed this tranche of Pai into a Curacaoan hideaway, circa 1920, complete with orange cobble stone walkways, vintage street lamps and impeccable landscaping. Our villa, with its double antique doors overlooking the rugged mountain landscape and the continuously evolving dramatic skies, was intelligibly designed with a panoply of accoutrement accentuating the hotel stylistic essence. Being lit only by the crepuscular gloam the private terrace overlooking the gardens was ideal for a late-afternoon aperitif. Reverie Siam's executive chef, Dustin Joseph, perhaps more aptly described as a gastronomic savant, has created an inspiring culinary program based on his years of international food exploration. The modest-and almost insultingly inexpensive-menu features mostly local fare harmoniously fused with premium western ingredients. The wine list offers a handful of decent labels however there are plans of expansion in the near future... A veritable riparian gem amidst Thailand's northern luscious landscape

The Cabochon Hotel: "Home away from home"

We loved staying at the hotel, it felt like a home away from home. We were three generations staying there, and we enjoyed it immensely. The staff is professional, accommodating and very welcoming. We will absolutely return.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Simply the best"

Dear SEEDS Team We were able to spend a wonderful evening together with the whole family. Everything was perfect: surroundings at the Inya lake, restaurant, decoration, ambience, service and of course food. Simply perfect. A pleasure in all areas. Very recommendable. We will go again....

Tugu Bali: "Amazing!"

"This hotel was the main attraction for our 4 days stay in Canggu. What made this hotel fantastic? - the authentic look and feel throughout the hotel. Be sure to take the short hotel tour, it makes you appreciate your surroundings even more. - The very friendly, attentive and helpful staff who tend to your every need (even before you mention it). For example, on our first day we've encountered a leaking air-vent in the bathroom. When we mentioned this to the staff, the problem was already being fixed because housekeeping had already noticed the problem. - The spacious room (Dedari Suite) with very big and comfortable bed, Bathroom overlooking a carp pond and a plunge pool with comfortable day bed. - All day breakfast on any location you would like - Very tasty local food - Lovely complementary afternoon tea - The sun deck overlooking the ocean - We really enjoyed the architecture and Indonesian artefacts throughout the hotel - The antique shop with its many lovely authentic items - The quaint little museum and the lovely Chinese house temple functioning as a restaurant. All in all we've had a very lovely stay. We've been to Bali several times and we can honestly say that Tugu is one of the best, if not the best hotel we've stayed in. "

Tugu Lombok: "Unique…authentic hotel"

Good service, good food and beautiful beach. Very unique atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to stay in the North side of Lombok as this part is the most developed one. Would only recommend to stay in hotels such as Oberoi, Lombok lodge, Tugu or Qunci.

The Village House: "Relaxing and chill"

Seemingly in the middle of nowhere this hotel was a complete surprise to me. The staff were all incredibly friendly and really helpful with arranging things such as going to the national parks, when the shuttle bus didn't come the boss drove us himself. All the food was fantastic as where the cocktails, highly recommend this place.friendly

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Beautiful and Serene"

"This place surpassed our already high expectations ! Some of things that took our breath away - A vast secluded CLEAN beach, Clean sea water, Dolphins swimming. Even the interiors of the resort are beautiful. The rooms are rustic on the outside and modern and comfortable comparable to any 5-7 star property. The bathrooms are beautiful beyond imagination. The resort uses plastic minimally and lives up to its green promise. Infinity pool is gorgeous (...) The library deserves a special mention. Its not some randomly put together library but cleverly chosen selection of literature. It would have been great to have some Indian books for young readers as this resort attracts a lot of family crowd as per our experience. Staff deserves special mention as they were generous and friendly but same time non intrusive. We can't wait to go back as we already feel drawn towards the place once again."

Talabgaon Castle: "Kind and welcoming! Delicious meals"

"We absolutely loved our stay in The Talabgaon Castle. And we are thankful for the hospitality of all of the caretakers of this beautiful property. Very reasonable prices and a fabulous room! We chose to do a jeep safari and guided tour of this Rajasthani village and found it to be full of beautiful and kind people, who are friendly and generous, invited us for masala chai. Palak Paneer here is incomparable. All of our meals were delicious and made fresh with home grown vegetables and fresh milk. This was our first time visiting India and our stay at the Talabgoan Castle was one of the highlights of our trip! We felt very welcome and were sad to be leaving. This was a great place for us to rest between the crowded streets of Jaipur and bright and noisy Agra. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

MesaStila: "Thank you so much for a memorable stay"

"It is now a little more than a week ago since we left MesaStila after a very memorable 4 nights stay, and we wish we were still there. The scenic location takes your breath away when you arrive and during your stay, and we never got tired admiring the 8 volcanoes in the different light during the day, and the all so green and lush vegetation all over the resort. The villas are amazing; we stayed in a Arum villa and from the huge balcony enjoyed a beautiful view to the treetops and distant volcanoes. Everything inside the villa was perfect, and food served in the restaurant very delicious and well prepared especially the indonesian dishes we had for dinner. If you are into bicycling the resort has very good mountainbikes to use, and we can recommend to cycle the small country roads to Grabac and back; Java countryside at its best. And just as important: the very kind, good humored and helpful staff also made our stay unforgettable! Thank you to all the staff from grateful guests, we hope to come back. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"
