Flower Island: "Simply Amazing"
"If you are looking for a place to truly relax, that is off the beaten path, and want to be surrounded by friendly mellow guests and attentive, caring staff, then this is the place for you. Flower Island is not like the other crowded resorts in Palawan. This is truly a place where you will chill and relax. For those that can’t sit still there is snorkeling (great reef just steps from your room), kayaks, SUPs, pearl farm tour and trekking around the island to keep you occupied. Definitely worth the time and investment. I highly recommend this place!!"Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A royal and magical experience at the blue mansion"
"Cheong Fatt Tze mansion was on top of my to do list when I was doing my Georgetown itinerary. And I thought why not stay there. I agree it's a bit pricey. But if you want to get the real feel of the jewel of Kedah i.e. our beloved Georgetown, you should stay for one night and you will definitely not regret it. I stayed in a room called Chang Yu. It was my fairy tale come true day. I won't say that the room and amenities are very fancy and royal but the feeling one get is amazing. You get a free tour of the mansion as a plus."4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Paradise!"
We stayed 4 days in those amazing ecolodges. You are in the middle of the jungle and the hotel is sustainable, eco friendly + has the best staff ever. You are taking part of a big project that is trying to preserve and maintain the local ecosystem. Anna (the owner), you are the perfect host and what you are doing is remarkable. Please try your best to keep this place away from mass tourism. The food, massage and the facilities are 5 stars. Thank you all for the best stay of our trip in Cambodia.Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Superb way to finish off your tour."
"Strange as it may seem. But we could not wait for the last four days of our holiday !! This lodge did not disappoint, the attention to detail, to ensure that your stay has the best chance of being a memorable one is impressive. There will always be somebody who will find fault, that is life ! The views are spectacular, the food excellent, ambiance spot on. We decided to have two days trekking, our guide Saajan was informative and considerate, and tailored the routes to suit our abilities, which was much appreciated by my wife who is not always the most sure footed rambler. The packed lunches were something that Enid Blyton would of approved of !! Marcus and his team can be proud of the experience they are delivering to their guests, and we will be returning to enjoy this hospitality as soon as we can. Thanks to all the team at Tiger mountain lodge."Sanak Retreat Bali: "Retreat of all retreats"
"We actually stayed here in October 2015 and took the risk of heading up into the mountains to go see what we can find. We came across this special peace of Bali and could not have been happier. The location is stunning and the concept is magical. True Balinese warmth makes this retreat a little slice of heaven. A true experience of all senses and one of the highlights of magical Bali. It is a little trek to get here away from the main coasts and hustle and bustle of Ubud but it is worth it. Step away from the tourist trail and places like this allow you to discover the real beauty of Indonesia and their people. Stayed June 2016, traveled as a couple"The Cabochon Hotel: "Our home in Bangkok"
"We so loved every moment of our stay here. Everything we needed was at this hotel and we felt so at home. There is an excellent Thai restaurant in the hotel and we so apprecated our beautiful Thai breakfasts although a 'Western' menu is available. There is a warm intimate atmosphere here and yet there is space to sit quietly alone if required. The roof top pool is a lovely place to relax. 'Happy hour' was a ritual we so looked forward to. The soi is marvellous..where one may find a super restaurant and a great night theatre. It is short stroll to the Skytrain and it's easy to explore the local area. The very best thing about this hotel is the beautiful staff.Ms Yeh and her staff are delightful and we so look forwards to our return. This hotel just nourished us in every way Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Glenburn Tea Estate: "Wonderful!"
While the last few kilometers of the road to get to Glenburn are the worst road EVER, once you reach this tea plantation, you are pampered and cosseted with the best of service, in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Rooms are large and extremely comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. Your hosts are friendly and engaging. Local shop has great stuff. Food is really good. A shame that lunches (while excellent) are continental fare -- the Indian and Tibetan foods served at dinner and breakfast are far superior. Remarkable service, and a place one wants to return to again, and again, and again!tugu bali: "Great service, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful property"
"Service was outstanding from my arrival until my departure. Wonderful welcome, complimentary welcome drink and afternoon tea with tasty cakes. Stayed in the Dedari suite which had a nice private pool and outdoor shower area, with a separate room for the toilet. Spacious room, comfortable bed, beautiful flowers, and a nice fruit basket. I cannot stress how wonderful and accommodating the staff was! Had plenty of help bringing all my bags to my room and also had a bicycle which I had forgotten was muddy from my long ride that day. I asked if they had a hose where I could wash it and they were kind enough to take it and wash it for me, have never had that type of service anywhere! Food was fabulous! Enjoyed the ""Royal Tugudom"" dinner experience, a ""Grand Ceremonial Dining of the Majapahit Kingdom"" with our own ceremony and huge feast in the ""Bale Puputan"" room. There were only 3 of us so it was way too much food, would have been better for a larger group of people, but what an experience it was! Got treated as royalty and more great service during dinner, was truly a great meal. Breakfast was wherever we wanted it- in our room, on the beach, inside, in the garden, really anywhere. We chose a shady spot in the garden which was perfect and had a nice breeze. Enjoyed the beach afterward and a nice dip in my room pool and the main hotel pool. Lots to enjoy at this hotel! Wish we had more time to explore the area and all the amenities and history of the hotel. To top off our great stay we received a departure fruit basket with water for each of us to enjoy on our drive to the airport. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for a great experience and wonderful stay! Hope to return one day... "Chakrabongse Villas: "Beautiful secret"
We absolutely loved this place it's so beautiful relaxing boutique villas with magical gardens in the middle of a busy area of Bangkok. Once inside the grounds it's so quiet and private and just wonderful. Staff are very helpful and the manager Mr Omh is a great wealth of knowledge. Breakfast was yummy and a great start for the day. Our room so comfortable and spacious and the pool we used often a perfect relaxing finish. Close to Wat Pho, Grand Palace, flower market and great street food and restaurants. Visit LarbLoi local restaurant above Starbucks at river boat terminal near flower market. Really yummy.SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Fantastic fusion fare – beautiful atmosphere"
Our party was treated to a special menu that was just fantastic. Presentation was first class, service excellent and the setting is just beautiful.
