Tugu Bali: "Amazing Karma Mantra Massage"
"Went for a Karma Mantra (Chakra Awakening) massage and what an amazing experience. Very powerful and beautiful space. One of the best massages ever so I ended up booking a second one 2 days later before I left Bali to experience again. Worth every penny. Powerful ceremony after the massage after which time a plate of fruit is delivered. Nice space to integrate the energies. Must try. Also had lunch at hotel and it was amazing. Stayed March 2017, traveled solo"Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "An amazing experience.."
"Firstly, my apologies, as my review comes in very late. We travelled as a family of 5 and had planned a one-night stay at Tiger Mountain in late March. The moment we stepped into the lodge, its location took our breath away. Looking down at the valley below and the clouds in the distance, my family was instantly taken with the property. I, of course, had ulterior motives, Tiger Mountain is renowned to be one of the best birding destinations in Nepal. We were welcomed very warmly by Jhalak, the property's customer service manager who gave us a complete overview of the property. We had arrived at lunchtime, so after taking our lunch (all freshly made, the highlight of which was the tomato chutney), we retired to our rooms where the view was equally marvelous if not more. (...)As my family had some specific food requirements, the hotel stage were kind enough us to whip us something when the regular meal choices didn't make sense. At night once the weather had settled, Hari brought me out to listen to the haunting call of the Mountain Scops Owl, and since I had a flashlight, he said I could try my luck to catch the eye shine of a wandering yellow-throated marten (no luck there!). Next morning, I was up again to go with Hari, and after a quick clouded view of the Himalayas, we were off. We saw many more species, including the Khaleej pheasant scurrying away from the owner's bungalow into the forest. Truly a birder's paradise this. Jhalak and all the other staff ensured throughout our stay that we were well looked after (Jhalak, I did mention you to Jitudai at Chitwan, he beamed brightly when he heard yours and Hari's name). All in all, a wonderful stay, cozy, relaxing and for an amateur birder, downright enjoyable :) "Slow Villas and Spa: "3 nights – 25-27 July 2017"
I stayed with my husband and 2 teenage children in a two bedroom villa with private pool. I can only describe Slow as, calm, instantly relaxing, bare foot luxury! Stunning bedrooms with lovely outside bathrooms. So fabulous to be in the shower looking at the incredible stars (no light pollution at all!). Sadly we only had a short stay here as our sole purpose for being on Gili Air was to complete our PADI Open Water certification. How wrong we were not to stay longer. Gili Air is quite magical. No cars or scooters. Just horse and cart or bicycles. Slow Villas is situated in the middle of the island 5 mins from the beach. Definitely the best location away from the bars dotted around the coastal path. We had early morning starts and Slow made sure we had lovely homemade muesli/fruit and yoghurt in our fridge the night before so we could have early breakfast. We borrowed bikes every day to get around. Great fun!! Our stay was so short that we didn't have time to try the spa which I'm sure would be equally wonderful. Thank you Martin and the staff for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be back.Muang La Lodge: "A hidden paradise"
Wow. We are overwhelmed. A five star luxury hotel with highest quality of food and an outstanding service comparable with international top hotels. A natural and ecological paradise as a secret advice. Highly recommended and the most beautiful environment we ever enjoyed. Dreams come true!Reverie Siam: "Wonderful Location for a get-away"
We came to Pai on a recommendation from a friend. When we got to town, we were nervous that we had made a bad travel decision. However, as soon as we stepped out of the car at the Reverie Siam, we knew we were going to be okay. The grounds were BEAUTIFUL!! It was so nice to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the open air dining area. Lounging by the pool while taking in the gorgeous scenery was heavenly. Our room was charming and so comfortable. Definitely a wonderful stay and worth the almost 800 turns to the city of Pai!!Samanea Beach Resort: "Perfect for Honeymoon!"
"This resort has everything you can ask for! An amazing, comfortable room with four poster bed, a small lounge and an open bath! The food is superb. the resort is just next to the sea ( though you cant get inside the water, but the beautiful shore and pier make up for it). Slightly away from the city centre, since you need to take a tuk tuk to the crab market or the beach. Overall it is quiet, peaceful and ultra romantic! Stayed March 2016, traveled as a couple"Muang La Lodge: "Tourisme"
"Confidential address Wonderful hotel: Refined tasteful Integrating perfectly into the landscape -Restauration- Rooms Massage Pool -Bains hot spring water: Perfect for a place so far away from towns and villages 👍Bravo👌 For discreet home and friendly and professional ultra efficient "Mathilde" young woman: young and already experienced a 5 star far from the base of tourism. "NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Birdlife amazing"
"Great food and atmosphere. More importantly, the wildlife! Only one leopard but the birdlife was fantastic - so close to so many beautiful and impressive species. Also the location meant that we explored Yala away from the crowds. "Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Et si c’était le paradis"
"Au sein du superbe lac Inlé, cet hôtel est plein de charme. Composé de seulement 6 spacieux bungalows sur pilotis meublés avec raffinement, c'est un endroit où l'on doit séjourner si l'on va dans la région. Le bruit des pirogues n'est absolument pas gênant puisque les bungalows ne donnent pas sur le canal principal. Le personnel, jeune et très nombreux (il s'agit d'une école hôtelière), est d'une gentillesse extrême, toujours aux petits soins. Le restaurant sert une excellente cuisine birmane élaborée avec les légumes cultivés sur les jardins flottants qui relient les différents bungalows. Avec mon épouse, nous y retournerions volontiers. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"David’s Kitchen: "Memorable six star experience"
"We started our evening with the shuttle sent by The restaurant to pick us up at our hotel. The magic began. Words are not enough to describe our experience. The fabulous staff, the Decor, the high quality and food the attention to detail coupled with the warm personality of the family that owns this restaurant make this experience magical. My husband started his dinner with his favorite escargot and then a wonderful steak with a wine sauce. I enjoyed the spicy flavorful gazpacho and the chicken beast entree to keep with my diet. My husband enjoyed the homemade ice cream for dessert. If you are visiting Chiang Mei don't miss this experience. Thank you David and Prom and all the staff."
