Chakrabongse Villas: "In One word"

Review by: KazaPerthWA | Source: Trip Advisor
We had the pleasure of staying here for 2 nights in the Garden Suite. You enter the property through a locked gate & what a wonderful sight to behold. Beautiful gardens, the tranquility of the place is unbelievable considering you are in the heart of manic Bangkok. Staff are amazing, they somehow know what you want before you do. Our room was quite spacious, clean, perfect really. Breakfast is served overlooking the river. On arrival you fill in the breakfast menu & it is served at what time you prefer. It was a pleasure swimming in the pool with nobody else around, great pool area, again overlooking the river. Unfortunately we didn't eat in the restaurant at night, one point to remember you have to let staff know in the morning so Chef can cater for who is eating that night. A magical place at night time with all the lighting throughout the gorgeous gardens. Would not hesitate in recommending here when visiting Bangkok, keep doing what your doing because you are ahead of the pack. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Reverie Siam: "Beautiful oasis"

Review by: Debra L | Source: Trip Advisor
"My husband and I have lived in South East Asia for over three years. We travel quite a bit and have stayed in many boutique hotels. Seldom have we seen one this beautiful. It is very hard to improve on the reviews that have already been written about this place. We drove up the mountain out of Chang Mai and came to Pai for a little business. While there is not much to do here, this hotel would provide an awesome quiet rest. The grounds are stunning, the service was excellent, the food was amazing and quite unusual for this part of the country. Our room was lovely all the extra amenities here were very thoughtful. It is the most pricey hotel in this area but not unreasonable by Western standards. The (tuk Tuk) service to town every evening was a nice touch. Would highly highly recommend this place – you would not be disappointed. Wish we could take this place home with us- Cambodia. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Review by: aagabrielle | Source: Trip Advisor
"From the moment we arrived we knew this was experience was going to be unique! the staff was more than fabulous and they truly made the difference here. The place has real magic around, our room had beautiful small details that we loved. We came to Bali to celebrate my birthday and they really made this experience wonderful. The food was delicious, the massage therapist were great, the tours and drivers were really nice and patient, the recommendations for places to visit and good restaurants as well. would definetly come back with my eyes closed.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A Lodge with a View and so much more"

Review by: Christel W | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was my second time at TMPL, and for me TMPL is first of all about this magnificent view. The place itself is so beautifully built, that no matter which way you turn, you are always able to enjoy the spectecular view on the Anapurna mountain range and at the same time feel included in nature without being intrusive. A result of the environmentally conscious approach by its owner Marcus Cotton. The rooms are inviting - spacious, comfortable and in decor beyond any short lived fashion, which can at times be overwhelming. So I felt instantly at home. And the food was just delicious, home made from their own organic garden. It was a treat to chose whatever you wanted, because the guest's well being had priority. The staff is very well trained, attentive, efficent in a gentle way, making you feel very welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed Marcus' warm and generous hospitality sprinkled with a lovely sense of british humour. It was a truly wonderful stay for me and I will be back for more as soon as I can. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

Villa Song Saigon: "Great riverside hotel in Ho Chi Minh city"

Review by: readflower | Source: Trip Advisor
"Highly attentive and professional staff. Really great setting next to the river where you can watch the fascinating array of boats go past. Really great room and a nice pool to chill by when not out sightseeing. Breakfasts are great too. Stayed November 2016, traveled with family"

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "There is more to see than leopards"

Review by: LuckboyHertfordshire | Source: Trip Advisor
"An efficient and comfortable campsite in Yala Park. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful and the food prepared is varied and in great quantity at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The location of the meal moves around the camp, so there is always a new view. There seems to be almost as much wildlife in and around the camp as there is in the park, with water monitors below the walkways, all kinds of birdlife in the bushes and trees and elephants visiting to the edge of the camp. We visited blocks 1 and 5 and yes, we did see a couple of leopards in block 5, but for me the glory was the stunning birdlife and incredible scenery of block 1. An excellent 2-3 night break. Room Tip: Go for the luxury tent (tusker) if you can."

Tugu Bali: "World Class Service, Tranquility in Paradise"

Review by: MARK T | Source: Trip Advisor
"We traveled to Bali last month to celebrate our anniversary and chose Tugu for it's authenticity and location within Bali. And, we were blown away by the level of service that Jenny and the amazing staff provided. The natural beauty of the property and the genuine hospitality of the Balinese people were far above our expectations. Tugu is an excellent choice for an authentic experience that is in one of the best spots in Bali for beaches, surfing, yoga, anything. Not nearly as crowded in Canggu as in other parts of the country. Additionally, we had a bad experience with the airlines on the way in to Bali and my wife was missing her luggage for days. The amazing team working the front desk went above and beyond calling the airport, arranging transportation and ultimately helping us her our luggage back. Thank you Tugu for a memorable stay, we will be back one day soon! Mark and Amber"

Inle Princess Resort: "beautiful resort"

Review by: alann6 | Source: Trip Advisor
A really magical relaxing place. The arrival by boat is a real treat. Be warned : its COLD!. esp in the morning and evening (ask for a blanket!) . Beautiful dining room and bar. Rooms are spacious , if a bit gloomy. But we hardly spent any time there anyway. Way to cold to use the outdoor shower , and oddly no shower over the bath. Do ask the staff to light the fire in the room : amazing briquettes give out fantastic cozy heat. 200 range rooms are quite a way from the lodge , and never get the sun on the balcony/verandah.

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "A must if visiting Angkor Wat"

Review by: Richard B | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a recommendation and made a reservation (recommended as the restaurant was full). We each had different tasting menus and both were excellent - great flavours and well presented. A good and not too expensive complimentary wine list so for the quality it was well priced. The staff were friendly and interesting to talk to the owner/chef whi visited all the tables.

Rachamankha: "A Quiet Oasis in a Bustling Town"

Review by: RayWilts | Source: Trip Advisor
This was a quiet oasis in a bustling town but still well positioned to see everything Chiang Mai has to offer. We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel and our room and bathroom was spotless and the bed very comfortable. We enjoyed excellent service from a very friendly and polite staff. The breakfast buffet is very good and they make a neat gin and tonic in the bar. The hotel laundry service was very efficient and cheap compared to hotels elsewhere in the world. If we visited Chiang Mai again we would definitely stay here again
