Villa Mathis: "un délicieux moment de repos et de charme"

Review by: odilelyon2017 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Cet hôtel est merveilleux, surtout quand on y arrive après des heures de vol... Accueil chaleureux et prestations haut de gamme. Nous avons eu droit à un diner délicieux devant notre chambre et notre piscine et un personnel aux petits soins. Nous étions en famille (11 personnes) de 5 ans à 71 ans et tout le monde a été enchanté. Nous avons continué notre périple au Villa Mathis d'Ubud, même accueil et gentillesse. Egalement superbe hôtel dans les rizières."

David’s Kitchen: "Can I find some original words to express our satisfaction for dinner at David’s Kitchen?"

Review by: pachen | Source: Trip Advisor
"Arrived in Chang Mai just 4 hours prior to walking into David's Kitchen, no reservation nor any idea of how popular and fully booked the place always is....never mind, David and his staff welcomed us very kindly and did the miracle: few minutes later a table with personalized welcome card was waiting for us :) The environment is very pleasant, dinner at DK is more than just food: lights, music, smells, all senses are pleased at David's. Menu is very interesting and variated. DIshes are elegantly presented, I recommend the pomelo salad and the duck breast with orange sauce, both excellent, but I would say that every dish we chose has been very good. The wine list is very complete and desserts suggestions are very inviting. Finally the staff has been very professional and kind all the way through, including the lift back they gave us in the restaurant's car at the end of dinner. So, maybe I did not manage to say many new things on David's place and I will finish with another obvious one: we are going to go back there before we leave from Chang Mai!"

MesaStila: "What a retreat!"

Review by: LuxuryTravellerBCN | Source: Trip Advisor
"Had the most amazing stay in this place. From my villa, the attentiveness of the staff, the stunning views and the morning yoga surrounded by a coffee plantation. This place is definitely the best place if you are looking to disconnect and recharge energy. LOVED IT!"

Slow Villas and Spa: "Perfect"

Review by: Laurence T | Source: Trip Advisor
Very relaxing to be there, everything is perfect & now with the new spa you can treat yourself with worderful massages & facial/hair/body treatments...before or after the yoga class, the ride along the island or the swim in the sea or in your private pool...just luxury (-:

Good presentation and taste really delicious. Don't ever tried to walk in, must make reservation. Our group of 5 had a great time dining at Mume.

Sukoon Houseboat: "Floating Fantasy!"

Review by: Alessandra P | Source: tripadvisor.com
This was my first houseboat experience and it was wonderful! After driving the hideous road from Kargil (which was in itself ugly and dirty) arriving at Sukoon was such a welcome paradise. Clean lines, white sheets, excellent food and a great shower! Simply spectacular! The staff were incredibly friendly, especially Babu and the view was beautiful!

jing: "Why did we stay only one night?"

Review by: jcrane66 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Actually, the answer to the question in the title of this review is that we didn't have more time to spend on holiday. Our greatest mistake was not having two nights at this lovely hotel. Imam at reception was kind and welcoming. He made us feel right at home. The room was gorgeous and the courtyards of the hotel are lovely. The hotel is so quiet - it was the best night sleep we had the whole holiday! The breakfast was off a menu and the choices were both Chinese and Western. And both of our choices were delicious. We also decided to eat dinner at the hotel. It was ""upscale"" pricewise, but the food was excellent and well presented. We also were able to try some of the local dishes which we would have missed out on if we were just wandering the streets. We would recommend this hotel to anyone - and we hope that one day we will find ourselves back in the Jing Residence.... "

Yandabo Home: "A little luxury in a surprising location"

Review by: VincentWoodward | Source: Trip Advisor
"Ok let's start at the beginning. Yandabo is a small village on the edge of the irrawaddy river. Its only recently got electricity and is home to a very traditional way of life with the local village making pottery by ways long forgotten by the western world! So if you come here expecting fine dining, satellite TV, tarred roads and modern communication you might be disappointed. The Yandabo is however very well equipped with fantastic rooms which surpasses most city rooms, with a cavernous bathroom and a bedroom that is simply luxurious. Comfort is without compromise. The service too is fantastic with staff available and enthusiastic to give you as much as they can.. Food is of a very high standard too. All in all the Yandabo has achieved a remarkable level of accommodation considering it's location and I would happily recommend anyone to stay here."

Amata Lanna: "Traditional Oasis in Chang Mai"

Review by: Kay F | Source: Trip Advisor
An absolute must on your visit to Chang Mai. Beautiful traditional Thai rooms comfortable, clean and with lovely decor. The staff are delightful, friendly and extremely helpful. Delicious breakfasts served every day poolside. The location is perfect near to the night market restaurants and within walking distance to other attractions. Loved our stay here and would definitely return.
