Inle Princess Resort: "Wonderful Visit"

Review by: claired0n | Source: Trip Advisor
"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Inle Princess. The feel is very rustic; however, the amenities are pure luxury. Wonderful view of the lake and sunsets. I loved the outdoor shower! The staff was very welcoming and attentive as well. It was my birthday during our stay and the staff surprised me with a birthday cake, lovely gift and card to help me celebrate. I was truly touched by their attention to this detail. It made my day! Thank you to the general manager and staff. The lakeside restaurant offered a nice variety and the food was delicious. I am sure you will not be disappointed should you choose this lovely hotel. It was a wonderful experience for my husband and me."

The Cabochon Hotel: "Urban Bangkok feel — Hit it twice this so far"

Review by: David T | Source: Trip Advisor
"For those seeking to experience the vibe of Bangkok as a psuedo-denizen for a couple of days -- that is, to live/to sleep amid that ordinary urban street mix of local food vendors adjacent to gleaming skyscrapers, [and, with some solid benefits such as a being near a handy supermarket, the Skytrain Phrom Phong stop, a hip juice bar, and a small city park] the Cabochon offers this kind of feel in the Thai metropolis. It's not on the famed river, and it's not super luxury. Rather, it's under-the-radar subtle. Hidden down a small alley from that urban mix, the colonial-era building is a sweet spot -- surrounded by lush foliage and filled inside with Asian collectibles. Venture out into the Bangkok chaos, and return back to the chill of the Cabochon, where the genuinely warm staff will greet you with smiles -- more smiles when you order a couple of rounds of mojitos. Relaxed without anyone in your grill. Clean, more than acceptable, not over-priced. And best, it is super understated."

The Village House: "Great romantic hideaway"

Review by: OliCrow | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We stumbled across this hotel by chance after being deeply disappointed and cancelling our reservation with Damai Beach Resort. As soon as we walked through the door I knew this was the place. The host came out to greet us and we enjoyed a refreshing welcome drink. It's a fantastic place for couples. Very relaxing, chilled with great food. I especially enjoyed the hammocks with a good book. We took advantage of the free cinema and games room every night which was a nice touch!"

Maison Polanka: "Luxurious and subtle"

Review by: Susan H | Source: Trip Advisor
Maison Polanka has the kind of subtle elegance that never intrudes. It is beautiful, the rooms and grounds. It is intimate and yet private. You are totally taken care of in an unobtrusive way. And the food is excellent, some of the best we had in Southeast Asia. That said it seems excessive to say that the herbal massage I had (I had a chest cold) was an amazing experience. I reserved months in advance and it was totally worth it.

David’s Kitchen: "A Perfect Evening"

Review by: Jase_Manning | Source: Trip Advisor
"Everything about our evening at David's Kitchen was a real pleasure. From the ease of booking online, the way the staff look after you, the beautiful restaurant, David himself, and the food. I can't think of any negatives at all. To have a restaurant of this quality in Chiang Mai is a real blessing and a treat that everyone living here should allow themselves at least once."

samar: "Beautiful Retreat"

Review by: Joyja | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This is review is long over due. My husband and I stayed here in April and was blown away by it's charms, service and location. Upon arrival, we were greeting with a refreshing non-alcoholic drink and invited to sit in the the sunken sofa in the lobby area. It was nice not to have to stand around and wait to check in at a counter. The reception came and handed me my paperwork while I was relaxing. The General Manager/Owner came out to meet me and explained that my original room that I had booked had a broken AC and they had offer another room for me to stay instead. All of the rooms are gorgeous, well-appointed and and large. It didn't matter which room we were but it was a nice touch that he would personally delivered that message to me. The grounds is nicely kept and looks exactly like that picture on the website, the location is a bit tucked away but it kept the street noise at bay. It was only a 5-7 min scooter ride to the gates of Angkor Wat. We are dinner there every day and the food was good, avoid the steak, as I think the beef quality in Cambodia can be a bit tough. Breakfast was included with our rooms and it was a la cart and it was very well presented. The bathroom reminds me of an old french colonial style with a claw-footed tubs. However, the amenities (lotion, shower gel, etc) was in a ceramic container. Be careful, Since the shower gel can get slippery, it slipped out of my hand during my shower and the top broke off. Upon checkout, they charged me for a replacement since they said it was imported from Thailand. I didn't questioned it but it seemed a little silly to put a ceramic container in a shower and not expect the guest to drop it on the bathroom tile. All in all, A perfect retreat to come back to after a long and sweaty day touring the temples. Highly recommend it!"

David’s Kitchen: "Fantastic service"

Review by: Luis F | Source: Trip Advisor
For my honeymoon I wanted to take my wife to a nice restaurant while in chiang Mai. I was extremely surprised on the amazing service this restaurant offered while we were there. The whole time there was an experience, from their very well enthusiastic staff to David himself catering to our every need. Our table was decorated and had a sign congratulating us on our honeymoon. At the end of our service they gave my wife roses and said it was from me. She was extremely happy that I took her there and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for providing us with A stellar service.
