Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "A superb, ecologically responsible,luxury holiday close to nature"
"A wonderful location immediately adjacent to the park, you cannot camp inside, An oasis of tranquility, superb hospitality and eco-responsibility that sets it apart from other safari operations serving Yala National Park. Delivers true luxury, superb food while maintaining a very low impact. Thoughtful, highly knowledgeable guides and drivers, that clearly love and respect the wildlife and habitats. The camp is spacious, well laid out, and has a charming 'homely' feel, as a guest you feel like a member of an extended family. The three meals a day are fresh, local, wonderfully presented Sr Lankan cuisine, with spicing tempered to the guest preferred palate. Noel (the owner), Praneeth (my guide and companion) and Priyantha (driver/ waiter/ and magically at hand, smiling at every turn) were all superb. Great for anyone with a interest in wildlife, not just leopard spotting, who wants to experience and be close to nature in a sustainable manner. An immense knowledge of the park and its environs, working in partnership with the park staff: a member of the park service and/or wildlife department joined our vehicle and assisted with spotting and interpretation of likely animal locations given prevailing conditions. Specialist, 4WD land cruisers, fitted 6/7 guest open-sided viewing platforms. In truck refreshments, guide books, binoculars and viewing aids, everything you could need to hand. Responsibly driven inside and outside of the park, unlike many others that clearly were not. I cannot wait to return again. Thank you guys."Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song made Ho Chi Minh City a magical stay"
"Villa Song is beautifully located on the Saigon River, with gorgeous views for 220 degrees. While away from the downtown, there is no problem with access: the boat shuttle is less than 15 minutes and a stunning architectural tour of HCMC, and taxis are inexpensive. The Villa Song is an oasis of calm with wonderful service that is attentive without being intrusive. Gracious, accommodating, impeccable. Room Tip: Rooms on second floor with a balcony are worth the extra price."Locavore: "Great cuisine"
"Tolle Küche , viele Überraschungen . Hat Spaß gemacht . Super vegi Menü . Toller Service mit außergewöhnlichen Cocktails . Ein muss in Ubud ."SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Just awesome"
After much anticipation and planning we finally made it to Seeds, the new stunning restaurant of much celebrated Swiss couple Felix and Lucia. After many years in Yangon and previously the proud owners of Le Planteur they opened Seeds. Beautiful location right on the lake with stunning views, extraordinary art pieces, specially hand made plates and all the bells and whistles to go with it. The service was exceptional and the food was out of this world. Myanmar is of course only now waking up to new opportunities and a bit more freedom and much still needs to be done and on the night we visited Felix quickly had to nip off to Bangkok to bring back a suitcase full of ingredients that was not available that day in Yangon. Seriously well done to this extraordinary couple for pulling this off and you will be a fool if you are in Yangon and not visit this place! It's a must !Maison Polanka: "Serenity Now!"
A beautiful setting with and Exceptionally attentive Staff. Excellent Food cooked to order from a small, but skilled Kitchen. Room & Shower were very nice. The rabbit likes Bananas. The grounds are lovely and the pool is perfect.Rachamankha: "Truly Wonderful"
"My daughters and I were traveling through Northern Thailand without much of a plan. We ended up at this amazing hotel because of the recommendation from a very reliable source. David from DK Davids kitchen who has one of the best (if not the best) restaurant in Chiang Mai. I also plan to review his Restuarant..... The hotel is beautiful. The grounds amazing for being in the center and they are maintained to perfection. Service is not invasive which I prefer. The food at the restaurant was some of the best dishes we had in Thailand. We are vegetarians and they had two pages of food possibilities. To top it all was the attention to detail! It is apparent throughout the hotel. You can feel that this hotel is owned by a very passionate person who knows and wants to please people. If we were to come back to Chiang Mai I would definitely stay here! And I never repeat..... Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"Villa Song Saigon: "Phenomenal hotel"
Cannot speak highly enough of this gem of a hotel. Location, room, food, service - all absolutely formidable. Will be recommending to any friends heading to HCM. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable, you have a wonderful team of staff.NEELESHWAR: "A piece of heaven in gods own country"

A must visit place if one is looking for a break "Hotel Tugu Bali: "Love Tugu Bali"
We stayed in Puri Le Mayeur and we were blown away. It is such a magic place that I chose here to propose to my girlfriend. She was not at all disappointed. We had our own private pool and dining area and the bathroom was amazing with your own private fish pond!Labyrinth: "Blown away experience"
It was a very pleasant dinner experience we had! We were looking forward to the next dish being served and each dish just keeps getting better. Recommend this place for anniversary, or a romantic dinner.
