Tugu Lombok: "Rainy paradise"

Review by: Alexandra G | Source: Trip Advisor
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

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "What an adventure!"

Review by: 5KPK | Source: Trip Advisor
"We really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it. The team is fantastic. No detail is overlooked. We asked them to arrange transportation for us from our hotel in Tangalle to their campsite. The driver was there right on time and took us to the rendezvous point where they were waiting for us. We went to the camp, had an orientation about the day, enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch before we rested a bit and then headed out for our first game drive. The staff here are very professional, experienced and knowledgable. You can tell this is a passion for them. What I didn't expect was absolutely delicious food!!! The food was spectacular!! A real treat. Part of me wanted to stay another night just for the meals! The happy hour was also really fun. They are great at making you feel at home. The luxury tent was as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well. I also thought the bathroom was pretty cool and enjoyed the shower. The game drives were great fun. We didn't see any leopards (there was a closure of a section of the park with the highest concentration due to drought -- we were here offseason) but really it didn't matter because we saw so many other animals and birds. The elephants were my favorite. The staff thinks ahead about your needs. It was raining so they provided ponchos, there's water in the vehicle, binoculars, books about animals in case you want to reference something, etc. If you want a unique experience with a team who is as passionate about the environment as they are about the animals, I highly recommend Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris. When we left, we planted a tree and that was really special for us. I appreciated the way they make you feel like the most valued guest they've ever had."

Reverie Siam: "Nostalgia at its best"

Review by: bchaug | Source: tripadvisor.com
This place is so dreamy, everything about the resort screams perfection. Magnificent staff treat you like family! Upon arrival we were greeted with ornaments to hang on their Christmas tree. The staff took care of us when we got sick, delivering medicine to bedside as well as cold water & other herbal remedies. Honestly.. If you stay here the only problem is you may never want to leave! Brilliant!!!!!!

Beautiful small hotel with friendly and helpful staff no restaurant but breakfast is provided and was nicely presented with an adequate choice of food ,Slightly out of town requiring a taxi ride home in the evening but there are restaurants nearby if required

Villa Song Saigon: "Hotel de charme"

Review by: Fabienne V | Source: Trip Advisor
Situated in a very quiet area in HCMC (District 2), the Villa Song is a magnificent colonial style hotel. The view to the river is just an enchantment for the eyes. The services provided in the spa are really excellent. If you can't afford to stay at the hotel, just go and have a drink or a lunch, it's a nice experience!

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Fine dining for great value"

Review by: MichaelMunich2015 | Source: Trip Advisor
Unbelievable what they offer for the money. One of the 3 best restaurants I have been to in Bangkok for the last ten years.

Rachamankha: "Breakfast, service, and spacious rooms"

Review by: lnmoschella | Source: Trip Advisor
"I had horrible allergies here, but I still think that this hotel deserves a 5 star rating. I loved the 3 course breakfast (probably too much food but prepared us for some long days!) Pool is huge and relaxing although we never saw any other guests in the water, and it closes early. A perk (for me) is that this hotel is designed for adults, and there's beautiful art everywhere. Housekeeping was always available, and the location is extremely close/walkable to shops, markets and Wats while maintaining a secluded feeling."

Mume: "Similar to Raw"

Review by: bcheong | Source: Trip Advisor
"Came here for a meal with overseas friends They don't have set meals, only a la carte. And the menu is short. There were 4 of us, and we ordered 80% of the menu. Almost every dish was spectacular - liver brulee, butter with beef fat, oysters, prawn with cheese, beef, fish etc. Service was friendly and excellent Overall similar to RAW , with slightly less hype and fame Will return"

Slow Villas and Spa: "Absolute wonderland"

Review by: gilimexicankitchen | Source: Trip Advisor
"We checked-in to the Slow Villas for 2 nights and ended up staying for 4 nights, were lucky our villa had availability as they seem to be fully booked most of the time. My fiancee and I fall short of words to describe our content. Our Slow Villa stay has provided us with an utmost quiet mind to relax and to work (we had a lot of work to do which needed top focus). Our villa had a huge garden perhaps 250m2 and all the comfort and amenities we needed. We took a break off the villa only to get massages and facials at the beautiful Slow Spa, moments of total bliss! The staff were all extremely polite, kind and thoughtful at all times and it was great to be greeted even at 2 am in the morning to get a water refill, knowing there's 24 hours staff and attention which is rare (probably unique) in Gili Air. The detailed guide book which has been put together, available at the villa came also very handy for information, food options and activities on the island. Finally, our super comfy bed and goose feather pillows (never seen in any other luxurious hotel in Indonesia) made it very hard to get out of the bed but the delicious breakfast options delivered to our villa were very convincing to take a step away from the bed:)) We can not recommend this place enough. Many thanks!"

Locavore: "EXQUISITE"

Review by: rnevarez562 | Source: Trip Advisor
For what you pay for, you are getting a Michelin style restaurant meal. There were certain courses that did not hit it out of the park, but overall the dining experience was superb. Easily the highlight of my Bali trip.
