4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Excellent place to relax"
4 Rivers Floating lodge was an excellent place to relax. Calm, peaceful and blissful. A large variety of activities, from kayaking, jungle trekking etc. The staff and manager were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely visit again.Rachamankha: "Lovely setting, great service, amazing food"
"Me and my fiance spent two nights here and it was great. The staff was wonderful, very attentive and happy to help with anything you need. The setting was beautiful and felt authentically Thai, my only complaint would be that the shower was very utilitarian, just a head and in a stucco rectangular room which made leg shaving difficult. Also, there were some small bugs in the shower. Though the shower did add to the authenticity of the hotel. But the real highlight here was the food. When we first arrived we ordered a ton and each dish was more delish than the last, the menu has Thai, Indian, European, and American options so were not expecting it to be particularly good because the menu was so diverse but every thing was presented beautifully and was gourmet. There were also an impressive number of vegetarian options and a vegetarian portion of the menu. Skip the spa. There are much cheaper options and the service was unremarkable. Rachamankha is Thai serenity at it finest."Rachamankha: "A Quiet Oasis in a Bustling Town"
This was a quiet oasis in a bustling town but still well positioned to see everything Chiang Mai has to offer. We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel and our room and bathroom was spotless and the bed very comfortable. We enjoyed excellent service from a very friendly and polite staff. The breakfast buffet is very good and they make a neat gin and tonic in the bar. The hotel laundry service was very efficient and cheap compared to hotels elsewhere in the world. If we visited Chiang Mai again we would definitely stay here againNEELESHWAR HERMITAGE: "Idyllic Ayervedic break by the Arabian Sea"
This is a wonderful place to rejuvenate: attractive, comfortably furnished cottages, welcoming & helpful staff, excellent food prepared by highly skilled chef, superb treatments organised to address specific needs all set in a beautiful location. Excellent library. Great trips & events e.g Theyam, birdwatching, ashrams & temples.SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Just awesome"
After much anticipation and planning we finally made it to Seeds, the new stunning restaurant of much celebrated Swiss couple Felix and Lucia. After many years in Yangon and previously the proud owners of Le Planteur they opened Seeds. Beautiful location right on the lake with stunning views, extraordinary art pieces, specially hand made plates and all the bells and whistles to go with it. The service was exceptional and the food was out of this world. Myanmar is of course only now waking up to new opportunities and a bit more freedom and much still needs to be done and on the night we visited Felix quickly had to nip off to Bangkok to bring back a suitcase full of ingredients that was not available that day in Yangon. Seriously well done to this extraordinary couple for pulling this off and you will be a fool if you are in Yangon and not visit this place! It's a must !Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A beautiful place run by beautiful people"
"Seadance Resort manages that very special skill of enhancing a naturally beautiful area with its presence. The layout of the resort takes full advantage of the tropical greenery both inside and outside the buildings and whilst the grounds are well tended it is not manicured and artificial but a natural infinity and flow that brings you down to the ocean's edge. When you meet Poy who established Sea Dance it all makes sense. His pride and thoughtfulness shine through and new staff like Faith all add something to this very special place. We stayed for 7 days and our normal style is to explore the area and discover places to eat. The fact we only ate out once is testament to the great food and we ate from the Thai menu exclusively. The breakfasts were great, the coffee good all overlooking the ocean. A dream of a place and a big thank you to all the staff. Stayed February 2017"Tugu Malang: "Coming home"
"Stayed there many times before. This time back after 3 years. They welcomed me at reception as a friend and made me feel at home immediatly. Very nice hotel, excellent food and very friendly staff. Every 15th of the month they have a dinner with traditional dancing, fantastic. So far the nicest hotel in Java for me, very cosy and looking forward to go back the next time."Babe: "Great food and Ambience"
"It was a pre-birthday celebration from a good friend and I am so glad that I finally got to try the food at Babe. The highlight of the meal are the special chawanmushi, oyster with egg, Marble score 9 Wagyu and of course my surprised dessert. The ambience, food and service made my day. Kudos to the team."Supanniga Eating Room: "Great Food that makes me wanna be a Thai"
I just can't take my eyes off the menu, huge variety of dishes and hold on, what is this? How come I have never seen such kind of food in BKK restaurants? My eyes just open wide when the friendly staffs serve the dishes on the table. Just love how the food is arranged meticulously on Thai-style plate. Truly authentic Thai recipes, simple ingredients but overwhelming taste. Could suppaniga launch cooking class? :PTugu Lombok: "Rainy paradise"
Great food and friendly staff with really lovely pools. We went in the rainy season but still had a great time!! Waterfall was great but good to take some dry clothes to wear back as you will get wet! Can also recommend the cooking class
