The food was amazing and service was great! The decor is beautiful, probably the nicest in Luang Prabang.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Fantastic location and excellent service"

Review by: IanJohnstone2017 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The lodge was very comfortable and had the most fantastic views of the valley beneath the lodge and the majestic Annapurna range of the Himalayas. The most incredible views of these mountains was at sunrise across the swimming pool. The lodge sits high on the mountain side and it is a perfect place to relax with nothing to disturb the peace except the sounds of nature; an ideal place for complete relaxation. The standard of the food is very high and interesting menu, each meal was a delicious repast. The main centre of the lodge is very comfortable and outdoor dining at breakfast and lunch was very enjoyable, dinner was served in the main dining room at night when it was a little cooler. ( May ). The staff is very professional, discrete, very helpful and added greatly to the quality and enjoyment of our stay. Stayed May 2016, traveled with friends"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful mansion and a great experience."

Review by: Chintan R | Source: Trip Advisor
"Staying at the mansion was a delight. The room that we stayed in ‘Mandarin’ (and we were lucky to get a free upgrade) was beautiful. I suggest getting that room since it’s the corner suite with a beautiful bathroom. The staff is wonderful and was caring and smiling all the time. The breakfast could be better. But that needs just a little more of care. The toast that came with the meal was dry and cold and the first round of coffees as well. The eggs were just ok. Overall a great experience and would hope to go back there again."

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Принцесса Араканского царства"

Review by: Natalia B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Из Ситтве, до которого надо лететь на самолёте воспользуйтесь либо предложением отеля : доехать на лодке с включёнными напитками и едой либо наймите скоростную моторную лодку, так как сьэкономите часа 3 . Приплыв в Мраук-У - столицу древнего Араканского царства Вы не пожалеете в любом случае о потраченном времени на дорогу. Древность, этническая самобытность и красота этих мест потрясает. За такими впечатлениями люди гоняются по всему миру!!! А остановиться нужно без сомнения в MRAUK OO PRINCESS Resort. Почему ? Этот отель, несмотря на его роскошь, не сделает Вас ,,белыми колонизатором"", отделив Ваш мир от внешнего , а гостеприимно погрузит в волшебную атмосферу Араканского царства. Хотела бы вернуться сюда ещё Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"

Manukan Island Resort: "Wonderful experience"

Review by: Ailene E | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed in hillside villa to celebrate our anniversary. The room was exceptional and beach view is astonishing! Service is great and even able to setup a romantic dinner by the beach on same day request. Despite the forecast of rainshower at night it was still a success. They also have a rondalla that serenades us while we eat. Only thing we didn't like is the breakfast. But overall it's a wonderful experience.

David’s Kitchen: "Warm welcome and excellent food"

Review by: AlwaysSomething | Source: Trip Advisor
Just wonderful. Made a last minute booking and they were able to squeeze in myself and my girlfriend the next day. (I'd advise planning ahead, you might not be so lucky.) We were warmly welcomed by every member of the staff we encountered, and David himself stopped by our table near the beginning and end of our meal to have a chat and ask us what brought us to Chiang Mai in general and the restaurant in particular. Friendly, gracious and genuinely interested. The staff pulled off the rare trick of being super attentive and friendly while remaining casual. As for the food, we had the Japanese pumpkin veloute, spicy raw salmon, pomelo salad, wagyu beef cheeks and lobster in wine. All delicious and paired nicely with wines suggested by our waiter. At the end of the night they presented my girlfriend with a bouquet of roses to congratulate us on our engagement (there's a section on the online reservation form for special occasions -- nice touch). A wonderful capper to a lovely weekend.

Rachamankha: "Best choice in Chiang Mai"

Review by: TandTSwitzerland | Source: Trip Advisor
"Located in the old town, next to the main temples (actually one of the most famous temples, Wat Pra Singh is next door). Very quiet location, perfect to escape after a long day of sightseeing. Very nice decor, very classy. Spread out, small (only 25 rooms), very quiet all over, you can really relax. Nice rooms (I recommend the deluxe rooms as they are much bigger and nicer). Also the library, the pool area, the spa are nice. Very friendly and nice staff. They do their best to accommodate you. For me best option in town - classy and quiet (it used to be a Relais & Chateau before)"

The Cabochon Hotel: "Charming and Comforting"

Review by: Luis C | Source: Trip Advisor
"So relieved every time we got back to the hotel from the hot streets of Bangkok. A great experience in comfort and service. Simple breakfast but pretty nice and complete. The Design and atmosphere are de real winners at this place. Location its also a good feature, not down at the center of the City but not to far. A good center point of new and upcoming attractions and the resto of the neighborhoods. Very recomendable."

Sea Dance Resort: "Excellent service, perfect atmosphere and great food."

Review by: JonasMarinceusP | Source: Trip Advisor
"- Great food (even has their own home grown vegetables) - Perfect service! - Excellent atmosphere! We came to the restaurant at a Wednesday night by accident, and we immediately felt very welcome. We decided to stay despite the fact that my girlfriend doesn't even like Thai food and there was a Thai buffet that night. We didn't regret it!! The Thai buffet was delicious and so was my girlfriends club sandwich (they made it possible for her to order from the a la carte menu, even though it was buffet only that night, and there was a big buffet prepared for the guests)! Very service minded We were there after told that we were welcome to come use their great facilities anytime during our stay at Koh Samui. We did that and we went back there for four days in a row because of the pool, kayaking/SUP-boards and especially the food. Had we only known how wonderful this place is we would have stayed here for sure! There was an English girl working in the restaurant, who'm was one of the nicest waiters I've ever encountered. She meant a lot to the place and if I was the owner I would make sure she would never leave her job Her and the rest of the excellent staff makes you feel at home instantly. "
