Muang La Lodge: "Une réussite"

Certainly a must in Laos. Ten bungalows, almost all along the river, rooms more than spacious, with perfect comfort. The outdoor spas offer the charm of "onsen" Japanese, and the pool has a beautiful location on an island near the hotel, which is accessed by a wooden walkway. The restaurant is classy, ​​with a Franco Laotian mix that would fade over a restaurateur. The success of this place is certainly Raphael his manager and his assistant, Matilda, that the needs, as well as absolutely efficient and cohesive team. Take the detour, the welcome is charming and intelligent, it tells you the places, activities, and then you will feel right at home. One regret: the brevity of my stay!

MesaStila: "Lovely resort set amidst Central Java Highlands"

This exclusive resort sits on a 22ha site with its own coffee plantation, organic farm and two dozen unique villas of various styles sourced from all over Central Java and Yogjakarta. Nicely tended gardens and walking path complement the daily activities to occupy guests for two or more days.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "A retreat to remember"

"My wife and I stayed here for four nights as part of our honeymoon. We loved every minute of it. The most important part to us was how friendly the staff was. From management to restaurant and spa staff, everyone treated us so well. Management was very helpful in providing ideas for us to fill our days with activities and see the areas. They organized all of our excursions. The rooms are clean and have beautiful views of the rice field that the property is built next to. It was not bothersome to not have air conditioning due to the cool temperatures during the night and early morning. The pool is so clean and with great views. The spa was by far the best spa we had ever been to. It was also better than any spa we went to for the rest of our Bali trip (which included 3 different cities). Spa prices were slightly more expensive than in Ubud, but much cheaper than any 5 star hotels or U.S. cities. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. You have a fresh fruit juice, pancake or yogurt, eggs, bacon, toast with fresh jams, fresh fruit place, delicious balinese coffee or tea. We also had dinner at the restaurant every night. We found the food to be fresh and delicious, the waiters attentive, and prices affordable. During our four night stay we did a few activities, which I would highly recommend. The first day we took a little trek of the nearby rice fields which concluded wth walking into a waterfall. The scenery was beautiful, waterfall refreshing. The second day we took a tour of lake Lembongan. It included a guide which guides you through a short trek through a forest-type area, and a slow canoe ride. After Lake Lembongan, you make a stop at the Munduk waterfalls. Lastly, we tried the cooking class offered through the property. The young girl (named Ayu?) made us feel very comfortable and took us step by step through a yummy Balinese meal. Overall, we absolutely loved this property and the activities it offered in the surrounding areas and will definitely return again. (Please consider leaving small tips $1-3 for the staff at the spa and the restaurant/bar. It is by no means expected, but you could tell that it was much appreciated)"

Flower Island Resort: "Très bien"

"Nous avons séjourné sur cette île resort 4 nuits, nous nous sommes régalés.Les bungalows sont simples et pratiques, vous êtes pas sur les mêmes standing européen, mais nous avons adoré. La vue sur la plage et sur le sunset nous dépayse.Concernant le snorkelling, il suffit de plonger devant l'hôtel et vous pourrez voir des Green turtle et des anémones fish. Pour les repas, c'est sous forme de buffet et ils sont assez généreux, un seul bémol est les desserts... Le wifi à la reception est nickel.Nous avons testé les massages par 2 fois, ils sont bien exécutés mais le bungalow pourrait être déplacé au bord de la mer car il est à côté du restaurant ce qui peut être gênant (bruit).Par contre peu de monde au bar Nous y retournerons sans problème"

The Village House: "Amazing retreat"

"We stayed at the Village House on 9th July for 3 nights. What can I say about this place, everything was great. The layout and decor is first grade and has the real feel of a relaxing yoga retreat. If you want 2 or 3 days simply to unwind and kick back in a rural setting with the soothing sounds of running water lapping over the pool then this is the place for you. We both fell asleep within minutes of arriving due to the relaxing ambience of the place. The food was excellent. Every one of our meals was delicious. The staff were very attentive and helpful in booking excursions or transport. There are a few good places to visit nearby. The Wetlands national park and Sarawak Cultural Village are on the doorstep and both well worth a visit. One thing to note though is that the hotel stands very much on its own without any restaurants or shops nearby (not that it matters with the good food on offer) so this is definitely a short stay place to recharge the batteries."

NEELESHWAR HERMITAGE: "Perfection!"

Quiet, relaxed, pampered, healthy and delicious food. The rooms were extremely comfortable and clean. Wonderful little touches such as flowers on the beds and towels. Always flowers in charming stone basins around the property. Service was superb. Morning yoga jumpstarted my home practice. Perfect get away!

QUIET in effet..Superbe establishment run by a French garden and épouse.Magnifique Okay entretenu.La room is very large and includes dressing room, indoor and outdoor bathroom plus a large terasse.l'hotel has 4 swimming pools one at the foot of the villa .Very good stay

Satri House: "Exquisite"

This is a warm and welcoming place that feels like a secret hideaway with attention to detail in all areas. The spotless grounds and beautiful gardens create a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The staff was always ready to make our stay the best possible experience by helping with any and all details from transportation to making sure we had bedside water and fruit in our room every night. This is the place to stay in Luang Prabang if you get the opportunity to visit.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "An incredibly magical stay in George Town!"

When I came across the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion I knew that it would be a special place, however, it completely exceeded my expectations! There is really no place like it in George Town and even the world. This carefully restored historic mansion helps evoke the history of the city, it has beautiful antiques and family heirlooms, making you feel like your a guest of Mr Cheog Fatt Tze himself. Rooms are very spacious, include top quality luxury fittings and are all unique. There's also an excellent restaurant which I'd recommend for their great value lunch menu or for a romantic dinner. The pool was an added bonus, considering it can get hot in George Town! I hope to be able to return to this fabulous hotel!

MesaStila: "Beautiful place and very friendly staff"

We stayed only for 1night and enjoyed an excellent service. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful and peaceful surrounded by coffee plantation. The club house is a well preserved historic mansion of the dutch colonial era. They offer some activities for free for staying guess. We will definitely come back to stay longer
