Samanea Beach Resort: "A lovely place fr a hideway"

"Second visit to Samanea, and the gardens have grown, the views from the jetty still amazing, the mangrove project ambitious and fascinating... and the team and service much better than the first time. Congratulation for the good work!"

Tugu Lombok: "Happy Place"

Spent 4 days at Hotel Tugu at the end of a brief trip around Indonesia with the family. This is an excellent hotel on the beach. It has some amazing buildings and antiques which make it unique but the best bit is the happy and attentive staff. The kids even got taught how to make animals from the bath towels by the housekeeper. Also ideal for golf at nearby course and, of course, beach activities like snorkelling.

Tugu Bali: "Excellent service and homely feel"

"Absolutely fantastic service. I have never experienced more genuine and attentive service from our arrival to departure. Simply flawless. Love the maze like garden with canals and fishes. Rooms are good a bit run down, but all is made up by the fantastic staff! Well worth a visit!! World class service in a stunning surrounding. "

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Second time incredible stay"

"We visited this lodge for the first time in 2012 and were so blown away by it's most loveliest and most competent staff, stunning location, wonderful food and wide range of acticities. In fact, everything was amazing. So, we decided to return. No doubt at all! And this place managed to blow us away again! Even after all the difficulties they faced since the earthquakes of 2015. We especially loved and still love the day hikes with, our now dear friend, Hari Bhandari. His knowledge of local people and culture, birds, plants, flowers, trees, butterflies etc. is impressive. Combine this with his modest, respectful and calm personality and you'll have the perfect guide. We will be back for sure!! Dear Marcus, Hari and all the staff members: thanks a million for another unforgettable stay!! Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

This is one of the best restaurant for our whole trip in Vietnam. Decoration is very nice - in a French Villa with traditional design. Food is so good with many dishes from North to South. Very fresh ingredients to make the dish is even more delicious. Staff is very professional with big smile all the time. Very enjoyable dinner.

Nimmu House: "Hidden Gem in Ladakh"

"We booked to stay at Nimmu House at the beginning of our holiday in Ladakh. We spent three days acclimatising here before we went off on a 6 day trek through the Markha Valley and then returned for one night before heading off to another destination in the region. Nimmu and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning and it was wonderful to be away from the hustle and bustle of Leh. We were able to relax in the beautiful and very peaceful gardens of Nimmu House and the accommodation itself was just lovely - we were staying in the tents which were situated in the apricot and apple orchard. The tents were very well equipped with lovely comfortable beds and linen, beautiful interiors and fabulous bathrooms. The attention to detail was fantastic. The hospitality of the Nimmu staff was never ending and the food was out of this world! We were very sad to leave this absolute gem and can't wait to return next year! Thank you to everyone on the Nimmu team who made our stay such a warm and welcome one."
