Samanea Beach Resort: "It’s gorgeous place!"

Manager who was very kindly friendly with their guests. The room look like older but seems to be based traditional structure of the local citizen. The outside bathroom is definitely a unique feature. The resort was very silence that you could heard some songs from insects in night time hi hi hi. The beach that where you maybe swim but watch sunrise or sunset then that is a great experience. The long wharves that made me better feeling as on the sea by my foot. The food was so good. There are not many rooms in this resort with their large site, almost of them for tree, swimming pool. With kindly noted, the resort must control better against mosquito. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.

Cuca: "Best food I have eaten….anywhere"

This restaurant is without doubt the best I have ever visited. The food was absolutely delicious, modern cuisine that took us on a culinary adventure. I personally think it's good value for money, a little more expensive than most places in Bali but 100% worth the money.

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Paradise on Earth"

Beautiful place, beautiful accommodation in a wooden cottage. Excellent host Bryan. Perfect place for relaxation and lovers of high-quality architecture that is perfect in every detail. You can snorkel right next to the hotel in beautiful coral reef. Home cooking was excellent. I would like to thank all the staff for a dream holiday.

Le Passe-Temps: "Little French Paradise"

"During out stay in a close lodging we came here regularly for family lunch and dining by the beach in this little paradise. Very nice food clearly ahead of anything around with variety. Green curry - my benchmark - is very well cooked. Delicious Paneng and TKK. Warm and friendly service. Kids friendly - can spend hours chasing hermit crabs next to you without bothering. Beach and horizon view at high tide is the cliche you are looking for, quietly sipping your chilled Chardonnay while waiting for your starter of fresh spring rolls, feet in the sand and sound of waves in the ears. Also spent Xmas Dinner. Nice buffet in family spirit in a welcoming atmosphere. For those who: - look for a nice lunch/dinner in Krabi far from the crowd. - have a sense of elite and exclusivity without superfluous sophistication. - are not afraid of being surrounded by (quiet and not too vocal) French. - don't mind a slight communautarian skew - are OK to pay more to get more. Still overall very reasonable."

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Book in advance"

My annual visit to Siem Reap is not complete without coming here - Brilliant concept, always faithfully and energetically executed. The two tasting menus are always well thought out and balanced between sweet, sour, savoury, and spicy. An elegant and exciting way to be introduced to the flavours and ingredients of the region within the western template of a tasting menu, at frankly a brilliant price. During high season they book out so do book even before you fly, rather than when you get into town. Oh and they make a mean cocktail too :-)

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Best place we stayed in the Philippines"

"Me and my gf spent 4 nights at Les Maisons d'Itac. We were supposed to stay for 3, we loved the place so much we decided to stay 1 more night (we couldn't stay longer as the Mayson Ulisse was not available anymore, so we kept our travel plan on). What can we say? Bryan (who spoke italian, we're italians and we have very charming and nice conversations during our stay) has been the perfect host. Always ready to help, charmful and totally welcoming. We booked our trasfers to Bantayan and back to Cebu through him and it was just perfect! The food at the maisons is great, the location awsome. They have an amazing spot for snorkelling just in front of the resort that you can reach in a few mins swimming. What makes this place special (apart from the view, the nature around, the sea) is the SILENCE. In almost a month in the Philippines we never found such a relaxing spot, where you can fall asleep at night hearing at the waves sounds. A true dream come true. If you're looking for a place to stay around Moalboal (it can be reached in 25 minutes scooter ride from the resort, you can rent just asking Bryan) DO NOT HESITATE to book a stay at the Maisons. p.s: say hi to Itac and Stacey for us :) Ciao! Andrea & Marta Room Tip: Maison Ulysse is a must-to-try!"

Reverie Siam: "Perfect Getaway"

Chose this hotel based on tripadvisor and was very pleased. It is truly a quiet, restful, peaceful place next to the Pai River and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Pai. The villa room was spacious and very quiet, with a huge bathroom and jacuzzi tub. The restaurant is the best in town--regardless of what you may see on tripadvisor! We ate all our evening meals but one on a 4-night stay and were happy with all of them. The made-to-order breakfasts were more than we could eat and very tasty. The only problem we had was with the internet on the last day which seemed to block most of the websites we use, including Fox News!

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. "

Rachamankha: "Great hotel on great location"

"I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The rooms are spacious and clean, and so is the hotel. Service is outstanding and all staff is really friendly. My stay included breakfast, which was delicious! Food is so good and inexpensive! Location is great, near the night market (10 min in tuk tuk), but far from the loud areas, which is good for me. My only complaint is the lack of a fitness center. I would stay there again!"

Reverie Siam: "Wonderful hotel"

"I'm still dreaming of going back here. We had an absolutely fabulous time; the space was beautiful, service impeccable and couldn't have asked for anything more. We stayed in one of the separate houses and it was lovely; everything decorated nicely, well maintained and spacious. The breakfast was the best in Thailand. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. We ate several times in the restaurant and had great food every time. Honestly, this was the best hotel we stayed at during our trip and we would go back to Pai just to visit again."
