"We have stayed for 4 nights at khwan beach resort and every moment of the stay was remarkable! Extremely helpful staff, accomodating every request, private pool and great interior with attention to every detail. There is nothing that we could have expected better. The staff provides service to and from the AirPort. As French / English speakers from Lausanne we also felt a touch of home and had no communication problems as the owner is From France . Would highly recommend to any one traveling to kosamui: whether a family , couple or friends. Tip: try the Mathis restaurant or delivery . The kitchen is French fusion and the chef makes amazing fondant au chocolat. For those preferring local menu, there is a great choice Thai food equally as great "The Apsara Rive Droite: "Great hospitality, nice and cozy place"
Just got back from a 3-night visit in Luang phrabang. Stay here is fantastic. The place is very relaxed and cozy. Nice experience to ride a boat to downtown. The staff is great, especially Hann (GM) Who has excellent service-minded. I would love to go there again as the escape weekend.Tugu Malang: "Great Break"
I love staying at this hotel. The rooms, decor, ambience and staff are great. The restaurant is excellent. My default hotel when in Malang. If you are ever in the area, you really should stay here. We booked the. Executive Room and were most impressed. Make sure you have the complimentary high tea in the afternoon.The Island Lodge: "The Reason to Visit the Mekong Delta"
This is a beautiful property with amazing staff and service! The room was very clean, modern and spacious. The service was impeccable, the food was outstanding, the spa was great, and the property pristine. The owner, Michel, reached out to us directly after we made our reservation and offered transfers from Ho Chi Minh City and back at a reasonable price, which made logistics easy. Michel and his wife, Francoise, also greeted us upon arrival, adding a nice personal touch to our stay. We highly recommend taking advantage of some of the activities offered by the Island Lodge - we did the Seven Bridges Bicycle Tour and it was one of the highlights of our visit to Vietnam. But stay away from My Tho proper, the city really has nothing to offer; just enjoy the lodge, the island, and the river instead. If you are traveling to the Mekong delta, I cannot imagine a better place to stay than the Island Lodge - simply amazing.Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Leopard safari"
"A fabulous 2 nights, expert rangers Noel and Sajith, amazing leopards and bird life, wonderful camp. The Sri Lankan food was the best we had in our two weeks so we can highly recommend. Stayed in a basic double tent the first night Absolutely all you need but the AC double on our last night was a complete treat, beautifully hand made furniture. Will not forget the sounds of wildlife all around Jo and Damian Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Rachamankha: "a place of tranquility and luxury.."
this place is really beautiful.. classy, original, oriental, luxurious, art , architecture, procelains, century old chests ..what more.. this maybe the only hotel we stayed in Chiangmai but im sure and no doubt that this is one of the best in Chiang Mail.. the ambience are very tranquil the staffs are very friendly, free wifi, free insect repellent spray and walking distant to the old city.Samanea Beach Resort: "Relaxing resort getaway"
"Samanea beach resort is a quiet haven when you want a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of work. This is about 2 1/2 hours away from Phnom Penh. This was recommended by a colleague at work. When we arrived, the manager was very warm and welcoming. The place is very nice, well kept and quiet - perfect for having drinks by the pool and lounging by their man made beach to watch the sunset. This is a place for when you want some time to think and recharge. The food selection was limited though. But we did get the crabs for dinner and they were really good. The rooms are all villas and they are very nice & spacious. I would have wanted more acu though but it is understandably very hot weather now in Cambodia. Overall, we had a great stay. Will definitely come back here again."Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "A secret oasis in the middle of a bustling city – a gem"
"An exquisite traditional house (hanok) set on a side street off Bukchonro road in the center of the Bukchon neighborhood. Set around a quiet courtyard, there are four beautiful rooms – each different. We had the smallest room, but with it came a dark wood porch jutting out into the courtyard and it was here where we had delicious breakfasts (one morning: mackerel, kimchee, pickles, a delicious seaweed rice porridge and barley tea.) You can also arrange to have a Korean dinner – we had a delicious one of Galbi, lots of small dishes (panchan) and chapchae. To unwind even more there is a small sauna tucked into the hanok – woven mats on the floor and patterns of cherry blossom trees, an excellent way to relax after a long day of exploring. To top it off the host is incredibly sweet, friendly and helpful. Mr. Kim provided with all sorts of ideas and recommendations as we planned our adventures. A true hidden gem in a great bustling and modern city. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"MesaStila: "A Mountainous Trip to Paradise"
"MesaStila is a hidden gem, the grounds are incredible and exceeded all our exceptions, The staff were willing to help us at every turn. This is a must of those looking to get away from it all, explore the grounds, enjoy many activities available, relax by the pool. Hire a guide and head to a waterfall where you will walk thru villages and experience central java at its best. This property is a must - its perfect for stopping and remembering how calm life can be without the hassle and bustle. I urge everyone to go here. Just note if you are travelling in a large group as we were (8A 9C) pre order lunches and dinners as it can take a while to get your meal. "
