The Village House: "Relaxing Bed and Breakfast"
"This is an off-the-beaten track bed and breakfast. There are no signs and I doubt there are any other tourists in Santubong Village. We walked along the beach (mud flat, really) and through town and seemed to be the star attraction (as obvious tourists). Once inside the compound, you hear the constant rippling water cascading off of the clear swimming pool. There are hammocks and cozy chairs to spend a lazy day. The staff serves breakfast (including in the room price), plus snacks, lunch, and dinner upon ordering. The food was all very tasty. Order dinner at 5pm (and select your dining time) and as soon as you sit down, it will be delivered to your table. The rooms are small, but comfortable and clean. The bed is soft (unlike so many in Southeast Asia). The A/C worked and kept us cool. You could take a taxi up to the Sarawak Cultural Village or hike Santubong Mountain, but otherwise there's nothing nearby. This is a great place for relaxation. **Do take a map and their phone number. There are no signs even at the front door and it's unlikely many taxis from Kuching would know it's location. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Satri House: "Beautiful and Serene"
The Satri House is the perfect hotel to spend a couple of nights in Luang Prabang. Great location to main village and serene environment the pools make it very inviting. Rooms were beautiful Lao decor and the attention to detail was on point. The restaurant menu was good but not much of a selection. We wanted to try the spa but because of a staff shortage they could not accommodate us.The Cabochon Hotel: "Colonial, Bygone Dreaminess"
This hotel has a perfect old-world charm, located right in the thick of trendy Thong Lo. It's a minute walk to the BTS, but you can't hear any of the crazy noise of Bangkok, because the hotel is down a small soi. It has a rooftop pool with full sun (often tough to find in Asia, where locals don't like to tan) and a very friendly, English-fluent staff. The rooms are large, and we had a connected suite living room + kitchen that we shared with a few other guests. Loved it and would definitely stay again.Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "A must experience in Bangkok!"
The cruise was very intimate unlike the big party boats. Sit down dinner was awesome! One of the best tasting meals we had while in Bangkok. Would definitely recommend Suppaniga to everybody!muang la: "Unexpectedly delightful"
The management is superb, each meal delicious, serene location in the countryside and wonderful staff. Also, the massages are special and the hot springs a surprise. We heartily recommend Muang La Resort to all.tugu bali: "Amazing accommodations"
"We absolutely LOVED Tugu hotel in Canggu. The location is perfect, the service is AMAZING and the food was delicious. The suites are breathtaking, ours came with a fruit basket of local fruit. The bathroom was half outdoors, filled with flowers and was surrounded by a Koi pond with a beautiful ladle to pour water traditionally. We also had a private pool in our back yard which was a tropical paradise. You have amazing options for seating indoors or out when dining, and the complimentary afternoon tea was diving. "Cuca: "Gastronomic delight"
A womderful find in Bali nestled in a beautiful setting. The food is brilliant and service is excellent. Its mostly sharing/tapas styled food with a twist. Sophisticated dining in a relaxed environment!Tugu Malang: "Fantastic experience"
"Loved basically everything about this hotel. The room was luxurious. Bed was big and soft, the bathtub was large enough, the room itself was the right size, and everything on that end was great. Amenities were also wonderful. There was a tasty fruit basket in my room when I arrived, there was a complimentary tea service which was extraordinary, live music (a local band) played in the evening and was excellent to listen to, and more. My favorite amenity was the tour of the hotel's extensive artifact collection; it was fascinating to see all the different sculptures, paintings, and architectural details. The food was good. I particularly enjoyed the grilled satay (both chicken and lamb) and the extensive breakfast spreads. The complimentary pastries upon checking out were also great. The grounds themselves, including the pool, were very nice. My only complaint was flaky and slow wifi. But otherwise, my stay was absolutely perfect. Would definitely stay again. Stayed March 2017, traveled solo"Reverie Siam: "the best in PAI: eco friendly / vintage / detailed / luxury"
visited this resort at the first time they made an opening and realize that should come back once again because miss all things in this resort. pool is still beautiful, statffs still very friendly, villa is still vintage, cozy, detailed etc. trees are still green. additonal thing that we didn't see it from the previous time from our visit is terrace by the Pai River, where can sit, chill, take some nice shot, chat with s.o.you love. This place can completely fulfill our short vacation and back to work with full of energy. No doubt to visit this place once again when we have vacation in Pai.Villa Song Saigon: "heaven in ho chi minh"
Probably the best hotel in Ho Chi Minh. Food and room was very good with excellent service. Only 15min. away from the center with the speedboat. We come back for some more days holiday and business daysTravel Asia with Secret Retreats
