4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Gorgeous setting with friendly staff"
After staying at an eco-lodge with few amenities, 4 Rivers was exactly what we needed. The tents are large and comfortable, and the staff are very attentive. We love having our own little private part of the dock to sunbathe or jump in the river and the scenery was absolutely stunning. We had a lot of fun on the excursion to a nearby waterfall and on a sunset cruise down the river. Our only complaint was that the food was a little hit or miss. We had an excellent meal the first night we were there, but we weren't as impressed with some of our other meals. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would absolutely recommend it to those looking for a luxurious haven in the middle of the jungle.The Island Lodge: "Perfect"
"We went on a Les Rives Cruise (two day cruise) and this was our overnight stop. I cannot fault this place. The swimming pool is wonderful and it's right next to the Mekong so you have wonderful unspoilt views. While swimming I spotted a kingfisher (or similar) just perched nearby. We enjoyed some lovely French wine with dinner and the food was very nice. I am vegetarian and I wouldn't say it's exceptional but there are enough options. The live music at dinner was also a wonderful touch. Breakfast was amazing - but a big risk of over ordering. The small cakes on arrival and by the pool were a lovely touch and tasted great. Our room had a wonderful view over the Mekong. I very much wished we'd stayed longer and it is the perfect place to relax. It's also a relatively small hotel so never feels crowded."Tugu Malang: "Awesome boutique hotel experience!"
It's almost like enough cannot be said about this place! It's one of those perfectly restored properties that exudes the charm of a distant past while maintaining luxurious travel experiences that match up to the best in the industry. Awesomely comfortable rooms beautifully decorated with colonial era antiques, amazing old-fashioned service, great food, stunning ambiance, and a great location to boot. Worth the price.Slow Villas and Spa: "jewel of the island"
The incredible villa, staff and overall experience were hands down the best part of my trip to Bali! Every detail was thought of. From luxurious linens & pillows, to travel adaptors and even headlamps for evening walks down Shady Lane - Slow has made it their mission to ensure you have no worries whatsoever! Mission accomplished. I cannot wait to return and be back in this little slice of heaven!Babe: "Divine Dining Experience"
"I dined here with my husband and friends for a table of 4. The food was amazinnnnnnnnng from the taste to the presentation. The waiting staff were 5 star - best I have had in KL and I have lived here for 6.5 years. You do need to book on table top app and the venue is tricky to get hold of if you try outside opening hours but definitely an amazing venue with five star view of skyline and KL towers. This was the most expensive dinner out we have had in KL but it was worth it. We have the 7 course degustation menu and also shared 3 dishes from the al a carte menu."Neeleshwar Hermitage: "A piece of paradise"
"Our stay at Neeleshwar was pure pleasure. The bungalow style rooms were wonderfully comfortable with views overlooking the sea - well spaced with lovely verandah and hammock. The service was excellent - the friendly and attentive staff made the stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. Breakfast and dinner by the beach overlooking the Arabian Sea was delicious and the infinity pool and setting invited stunning photographs. Yoga in the morning was an added bonus as was the very experienced tailor who turned around your order in double quick time. The style of the Hermitage is intimate and focuses on excellent service and it is small enough to be able to deliver for each guest. A perfect end to a perfect holiday. Stayed January 2017"Sanak Retreat Bali: "As good as it gets"
"Thank goodness that , on our first visit to Bali , we chose to stay at Sanak. I shudder to think that we might have selected somewhere in traffic-clogged and frenetic Ubud or near Denpasar. Of course I accept that many travellers visit the island for different reasons, but if you want a rural idyll with picture post card views of the sort of idealized landscape that you thought might have disappeared - choose Sanak. The individual accommodations ( we stayed in a one bedroom ) are very spacious, comfortable and spotless. The staff are all delightful , friendly and helpful . Food and drink are excellent - what a delight to look out over paddy fields with scuttling ducks, and distant mountains as you eat. Make the journey - you'll love the place Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Rachamankha: "The Hidden Treasure of Chiang Mai, Thailand"
Everything about Rachamankha is excellent from the Front desk staff and most especially the General Manager who made sure I have the most comfortable experience during my stay. Its definitely my preferred Hotel to stay in Chiang Mai.Mume: "The perfect place for dinner"
"I read about Mume just days before a quick trip to Taipei and to my luck the restaurant had availability! I loved the relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, open kitchen and how the design of the restaurant makes good use of the space. The size of the tables are very comfortable and you are seated at a nice distance from other guests. Cocktails were of course delicious and the food was fantastic. Everything we ordered was perfectly balanced in flavour, texture and appearance. Each dish showed creativity, brought excitement and every bite was wonderful. The waiters and waitresses were very sweet. Thank you to everybody, front of house and kitchen, for the incredible meal!"The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Perfect escape"
This hotel was the perfect way to end our trip in Thailand. The hotel was even better than described/pictured. It is in a great area, close to the sky train but secluded and peaceful. Definitely a beautiful boutique hotel with amazing service. I only wish we had stayed longer to take advantage of the pool and the restaurant, but the bar and breakfast were wonderful! Our room was picturesque (in addition to the rest of the hotel). We will definitely be back and would recommend the Cabochon to anyone!
