Cuca: "Great restaurant"

This is the third time we have eaten at Cuca. Doesn't disappoint! The meal sizes are small and quite rich. We have enjoyed the experience each time we have been. Its not the type of restaurant you would eat in night after night but definitely worth a visit. Only negative - $15au for corkage! A bit steep when the bottle is only worth $25.

Bali Jiwa Villa: "Heaven on earth"

We have been in Bali Jiwa Villa for 12 days and it was gorgeous. We enjoyed every minute, hearing the concert of frogs (one even lived just up the door to the villa and went for a walk every evening - we loved watching it), the wind in the ricefield and the singing from a distant temple, seeing the morning sun and the stars, smelling the frangipani-flowers...  The staff is extremly helpful, friendly and competent, and it was a pleasure being cared for by them. The villas are tastefully furnished, and the outdoor-bathrooms really beautiful. Breakfast and dinner were very good and served in your private villa, which was pure luxury. Going to Ubud took a 30 minutes drive, with very friendly drivers, so it was no problem at all. Bali Jiwa Villa is an extra-class-hideaway, and we definitly will come again.

Tugu Lombok: "I found a place I want to get married"

"My first stay at Tugu-Lombok and it was remarkable. The ground was very beautiful with its own private beach. I stayed for 4 night, travelling solo, and I had a blast. I had a driver and travel guide to take me around South Lombok beaches, gilis (further south, not the crowded 3 gilis off Senggigi), and water fall which I booked separately. So, I didn't experience the overpriced excursions from the hotel. However, my stay had everything I expected and beyond. The service and staff were awesome. They would go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. My room is in one of the Kampong Villas, in the corner, away from the main area. It has outdoor (private) bathroom, which was nice, however, you'll have to deal with mosquitoes and humidity whenever you went to the bathroom. I brought my own mosquitos spray, fortunately. The hotel is secluded from everything else. So, its restaurant was the only one nearby. I had dinner twice. The food was really good, but so pricey. One night I had dinner on the beach, and for that I needed to reserve my place a day before. But since I was out and about the whole day, I usually stopped by at local food places (traditional Lombok cuisine) and brought them to my room for dinner (and sometimes breakfast). And 2 swimming pools with have more than 25 m in length ! Yes! This triathlete was very grateful for that. I swam laps daily at 5 am, before the sunrise. The pool near the restaurants was never crowded. However, the other pool was hardly had anyone in it except me during my stay. The only regret I had during my stay was it was too short. I'll definitely be back."

Tugu Lombok: "Number One in My List of Favourite Hotels"

"Tugu Lombok is the dreamed hotel for all who imagine a paradise with silent tropical white sanded beaches, wooden villa, just a few steps from the light blue sea. The resort is designed as a boutique one, a precious collection of asian art is arranged around the restaurants, the villas and the gardens. Walking around you are touched by an amazing culture, art and sence of luxury design. Each villa has a priveate pool and a beach, tropical shower under the stars. The honeymoon villa is the ONE! Tugu Lombok is a great place to propose to your Love! Or to excape for a romantic vacation... Room Tip: Villas at the beach side are amazing!"

Rachamankha: "Paradise in Old City, Chiangmai"

A surprise paradise tucked on side street close to Temples and entrance to Sunday Market. Peaceful, elegant atmosphere. Top notch service - especially in restaurant. Dinner was terrific. Breakfast: loved the almond French toast!

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent Birthday Dinner in Chiang Mai"

"My girlfriend, Allie, and I went to David's kitchen to celebrate her birthday. We wanted to go somewhere very nice and make the night special and David's Kitchen was an obvious choice from all of the 5 star reviews on Trip Advisor. When we pulled up to the restaurant we were immediately greeted and escorted in. Every employee we passed on the way in wished Allie a happy birthday. When we sat down, there was a happy birthday card and a named place card for us. The service was absolutely amazing. I did not feel like the waiters were hovering in anyway but as soon as I needed something, someone was there to help. David himself made rounds around the restaurant and had private conversations with each of the guests. We thoroughly enjoyed speaking with him and hearing his stories and he even gave us recommendations for restaurants and activities in other countries that we were going to visit on our trip. We got the highly recommended pumpkin soup and it was out of this world! Really do try it if you go to David's! We both got the braised beefs cheeks and it was melt in your mouth tender. I think I would get something different if I went again but it was still a very good dish. Finally, for dessert we got a delicious chocolate lava cake and the employees came out to sing Allie Happy Birthday. It was a great night and was made very special by David and his staff. Absolutely worth the price. (Book reservations early because they go fast!)"

Labyrinth: "Gastronomical experience"

A good take of Singapore's famous and iconic dishes. The chef played with texture, sight and temperature. A witty and successful attempt. Recommend tourists and locals to visit this restaurant. I like the signature chili crab and pen cai risotto. So good I wished there was more.

Reverie Siam: "Clearly the best hotel in Pai"

We spent an incredibly relaxing 2 nights in a family room which had a gorgoeus view of the mountains. It was a weekend break from Bangkok and our 4 young kids. The room was spacious with lovely decor and furniture, lots of thought went into the decoration. In a land of hard beds, the king sized bed was by far 1 of the most comfortable. The location was ideal, next to the river and just far enough out of town so it was quiet but without the sounds of dogs or roosters. The lush landscaping was beautiful and made the setting even more private and serene. Also recommend the restaurant for ambiance, service and food quality. Service was 5 star, the staff were always helpful, welcoming and full of smiles. We soent a half day looking for a restaurant for lunch and thereby visiting many of the other hotels and was extremely happy that we chose the Reverie for our weekend getaway. I may consider bringing my kids next time although it has such a lovely serene atmosphere that i wouldn't want to disturb the zen of the resort.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Floating Paradise in the Jungle – Outstanding Service and Amazing Location"

"There are so many wonderful things about this hotel; the location, the staff, the activities, the atmosphere…. (…)The rooms are beautiful – poshest tent I have ever stayed in, and it really is floating – you can feel a gentle movement at night time and when people walk past – which I really liked. The people that work at the hotel and as trip guides are all mostly all from the local island opposite and surrounding village area which gave the whole experience a real charm. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful - it really was a perfect paradise. The hotel manager arranged our transport back to Phomn Penh for us (we opted for a shared VIP bus on the way back - which was $15 each and took about 5 hours). One of the members of staff waited with us in Tatai village until the mini bus arrived and loaded our bags etc… - truly exceptional and helpful service. One of the main highlights has to be waking up and diving straight into the river from your personal deck and also kayaking around the islands! This is an incredible experience not to be missed! "
