Rachamankha: "Amazing small boutique hitel"

Review by: tidemd14 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at the Rachamankha for 4 nights in August. There are several huge positives about the hotel. First and foremost it's in the middle of the city but in a residential neighborhood and on a small alley surrounded by walls. As such it is a quiet oasis where you forget you're in a large town at all. The staff is amazing, helpful, and genuine and willing to whatever to make your stay wonderful. It's a small intimate hotel with very few rooms and is very quiet. We mostly saw couples. The entire hotel is laid out in a very symmetric, peaceful, zen-like way and was actually designed by a famous architect who has his office off the hotel library. The decor is very interesting, with regional historic artifacts in the outdoor hallways and courtyards. The included breakfast at the restaurant was outstanding and there was a good set of menu options. The one dinner we had was excellent as well, though somewhat pricy. The only downside was that the wifi was weak, slow, and frequently failed requiring another login. AC is great and you can make the room as cool as you want. In summary: Pros: outstanding boutique hotel in an excellent location; great value Con: weak wifi"

Reverie Siam: "Antiques! Truly amazing"

Review by: Hublescope | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed here one night with my friend and we did enjoy much! A little bit expensive but it pays back a great experience.i love those decorations, antiques! It's hard to find old machines as of these days, if you wish to feel like travel back time, visit this hotel! I love our huge rooms just open your door and jump in to the pool! Thanks for the birthday present! Foods is fabulous, restaurant is very romantic for couples! Very serene and quite place. If you love nature here in Asia this is the best. And oh! There is a gazebo located into the river bank! I love it!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Floating holiday"

Review by: ALB2011 | Source: tripadvisor.com
Very enjoyable weekend on kayaks, in waterfalls, jumping into the river. The staff was very helpful, and we enjoyed the meals. After the busyness of Phnom Penh, 4 Rivers was a perfect escape. Glamping turned out to be a lot of fun, and I recommend 4 Rivers.

Reverie Siam: "Beautiful food"

Review by: Rubylips_13 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I booked this hotel as I saw on trip advisor it had the best restaurant in pai. And the reviews are correct. I had breakfast lunch and dinner here during my stay. Try the meat and cheese board. Heaven if you've been in Asia for a while and are missing diary treats. Great service in the restaurant too. The night we dined they also were playing live music. Disney favourites! Every one was clapping along to the jungle book. So much fun, great ambience in the room. My room was beautiful furnished , spacious with a balcony over looking the pool. I loved the large bathroom with roll top bath. Very cool style. The resort has a very boutique feel, everything looks quality , the design has looks of attention to detail with I enjoyed. Nice that you have a choice of 2 swimming pools one natural and one standard with beautiful views of pai. Great to sit around the pool with a cocktail or fresh juice from the bar. It is as nice as the pictures on the web site which are pretty inviting. "

Maison Polanka: "Refined, authentic, peaceful boutique hotel"

Review by: mlechaczynski | Source: Trip Advisor
"Amazing stay at Maison Polanka. You step into a luxurious garden and a heaven of tranquility here. Everything is done to make you feel welcome; from the unpretentious French owners and their insights on the local life to the kind and attentive staff. The room (actually a fully detached house with a private outdoor living room) is decorated with incredible style. The food is worthy of any great restaurant in town. They helped us book experienced guides to visit the temples and had a Tuk tuk on stand-by for all our trips. A must stay place to visit the area! Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Cuca: "Wonderful dining experience with superb service"

Review by: Robert M | Source: Trip Advisor
One of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've ever had. You can sit inside or outside in the beautiful and spacious garden. There are also limited says available looking directly into the kitchen where you can see e chefs preparing. We chose the chefs selection menu and found that all the dishes were delicious, and very well presented. The real highlight for myself, and for my girlfriend who doesn't care for seafood was the smoked butterfish - make sure you try this it's unbelievable. The meat and potatoes dish, which is essentially a dressed up shepherds pie, is the real surprise. I've eaten many in my time but none so rich and warming as this. Seasoned absolutely perfectly. The desserts are also very good and the cocktails are incredible! They do double measures of each one which really made me happy! Finally the superb service of the ultra friendly staff has to be noted - from the moment we stepped in- and to when our waiter escorted us to our taxi outside. A memorable evening.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Superb dining in lovely location with tastefully decorated restaurant."

Review by: lynn s | Source: Trip Advisor
We wanted to have a memorable meal on our last night after three years in Yangon, we were not disappointed. As soon as you arrive you enjoy the calm and sophistocated atmosphere, the restaurant is beautifully decorated with the table ware items in gold and whire all made in Myanmar, just wish i could find out where. The service is pleasantly attentive without being intrusive, the food is devine we opted for a set menu which was presented well and tasted fantastic. The garden owner chef and his wife add a personal touch and speak to every guest, they are charming hosts. Superb restaurant for fine and friendly fine dining. We were able to enjoy the garden and lake view it will be superb in the dry season.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Perfetto"

Review by: Kikifrancazzi | Source: Trip Advisor
"Ho prenotato questa struttura un po' alla cieca ma mi è rimasta nel cuore. Sono rimasta colpita dalla struttura, sono rimasta colpita dal tatto e dalla gentilezza con cui lo staff ti accompagna in una realtà così diversa. La stanza è molto curata sia negli arredi sia per quanto riguarda la pulizia. Abbiamo alloggiato nelle tenda con piscina privata ed è stata un'esperienza unica poter sentire i rumori della natura all'interno di una tenda dotata di ogni confort. Ubud è vicinissima e il resort ha delle navette gratuite con cui raggiungere il centro. Il responsabile Kendu ci ha aiutato in ogni nostra richiesta e necessita..Impeccabile! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Anopura: "Havre de paix"

Review by: pariseli | Source: Trip Advisor
"Un hôtel de charme et de bon goût loin du bruit et du monde de Jaipur parfait pour un repos de deux trois jours proche du village d'anopura qui est un village typique avec des gens adorables Une Vrai vision de la vie en inde Un MUST Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

Locavore: "A true culinary delight"

Review by: Charles V | Source: Trip Advisor
This restaurant features a choice of tasting menus which are probably the very best that I have tasted. We chose the 8 course menu which somehow ended up becoming 20 courses, courtesy of the restaurant. Don't worry, it is true "value for money" but if you are a true foodie - this is the place! I wanted to go back but we decided to try another place which disappointed us as Locavore made a huge impression the day before. Amazing taste sensation.
