The Island Lodge: "Relaxing place with lovely staff"

Review by: John D | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed here at the beginning of our trip to Vietnam for three nights, with the intention of recovering from jet lag at a leisurely place and pace. One of us had started the trip with a nasty cold and we decided it needed a look from a doctor. The hotel owner, Michel and his assistant Amy were very helpful in arranging this quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Within a couple of hours we had been to the local clinic (with Amy on hand to translate) and returned with appropriate medications. This was above what we would have expected and topped off a very relaxing stay in a well thought out hotel. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Passionate guided tour"

Review by: khoor876 | Source: Trip Advisor
I had an amazing time in the heritage site with superb commentary by the female owner sharing her real-life stories in conserving the place. It was engaging and insightful sharing. Thanks, I had a good and better understanding of the culture now. Give it a try, folks.

Tugu Bali: "Our new favourite hotel in Bali"

Review by: ShazstaD | Source: Trip Advisor
If you're looking for something special, unique and authentic then Tugu is it! A truly wonderful experience all round. Our accommodation was lovely. We stayed in the Dedari Suite and we're lucky to have not just a plunge pool , but an extended view through reeds across a pond and beyond to a nearby temple. We could even get glimpses of the surf! The staff were amazing, the gardens and buildings incredible. A wonderful way to immerse yourself in Balinese history. The attention to detail is everywhere, right down to the metal elephant door knobs in the public restrooms. Trying one of Tugu's cultural banquets is highly recommended. The recently opened Ji restaurant and bar is also destined to be a winner. Good food and drinks in a very quirkily exotic bar.

The Village House: "LOVE IT!"

Very romantic and relaxing place. I love the ambience of that place. Staff was very friendly. The place is very isolated and hard to find in the first place. But overall everything was fine and i would love to visit again in the future :)

Labyrinth: "Fantastic Dining Experience"

Review by: 569laurinev | Source: Trip Advisor
Fantastic experience and very unique concept to local Singaporean food. I rang the restaurant 2 days earlier to check on the menu and mentioned we were celebrating my partner's birthday and the restaurant served us a cake with a candle at the end of the meal! That was really unexpected and a very pleasant evening. Thank you Joseph

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Excellent Boutique Hotel"

Review by: TeacherCandi | Source: tripadvisor.com
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the Cabochon Hotel during our recent trip to Bangkok. Everything from the unique and interesting design, the amazing gin and tonic bar, the rooftop pool with great views of the city, the quiet location, the excellent restaurant and the extremely helpful and friendly staff made our visit very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel. Also try the French toast for breakfast. It was delicious.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "One of India’s best boutique beach resorts"

Review by: Richard S | Source: Trip Advisor
"Just 18 bungalows/rooms, each beautifully and comfortably furnished with their own semi-outdoor bathrooms. Efficient air conditioning. Spa with a range of treatments and massages. An endless white sand beach. Good sized pool although more sunloungers might be a good idea. Yoga centre. Two restaurants to choose from: one on the beach which is especially fabulous at breakfast. Fresh seafood and lots of local dishes too. And everything is set in beautiful gardens. A truly relaxing place to stay. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

Satri House: "Excellent 4 day stay"

Review by: Ioana P | Source: Trip Advisor
Lovely 4 day stay here in May 2017. We had a lovely twin rooms, which was very well maintained. The staff was very good and very good at organising tours, restaurants etc. Breakfast was very nice, as was dinner. Excellent spa as well.

Supanniga Eating Room: "This is a review of the Supanniga main location on Sathorn 10"

Review by: Josif D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Supanniga Group has several restaurants over Bangkok and, somehow, all seem to merge (at least as the TripAdvisor is concerned) into one location at Sukhumvit 55. This is unfortunate, since all have their distinct personality. In particular, the main location on Sathorn 10, is a more interesting version of Supanniga and diners are unnecessarily diverted to the Sukhumvit branch. Try Sathorn Soi 10 and you'll not be disappointed. Traditional Thai cuisine at its best served at a very pleasant location in a well hidden but easily accessible small soi near the Chong Nonsi BTS. Food is superb, try it if you want to taste the real Thai food. Also, for tourists/short time visitors, this should be your chance to see Thailand from inside. Avoid the glitter of the main avenues, go deep into side sois and you'll discover an entirely different, and more authentic Thailand."
