David’s Kitchen: "Dining Does Not Get Better Than At David’s Kitchen"

Review by: frankfrank05 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Dining is not just eating food - it is an experience that should involve delicious food/drinks, gracious hospitality, a pleasing ambiance and the generation of plenty of memories to smile back on for years to come. My girlfriend and I had the dining experience of a lifetime last night at the new location of David's Kitchen - and this experience afforded us all of those things that I mentioned above at an unparalleled level! I had the very best tuna dish that I have ever had - highly recommended for if/when you make the brilliant decision to try David's Kitchen yourself. David was strolling around the very pleasant dining area while we ate and he spoke to us on a few different occasions as we enjoyed our meal. He is a very kind and interesting man that brings wonderful conversation to the table - pun intended. I had the pleasure of expressing my love for the tuna dish and he was gracious enough to invite us back into his kitchen to meet the head chef and the rest of the kitchen staff - this just took what was already an incredible evening to the kind of experience that my girlfriend and I will look back on for decades with nothing but smiles! And, to top it all off, the dining room manager brought my girlfriend a beautiful rose as we were walking into the parking lot to our taxi. It was like the evening couldn't stop getting better! So, there you have it. Some of the best food we have ever eaten. Certainly the best hospitality we have ever experienced at a restaurant. An ambiance that promotes a delightful meal. And memories that I will now have to cherish for the rest of my life. David's Kitchen provides the epitome of what dining should be. And, not to forget, at an EXTREMELY reasonable price! Nothing short of incredible. If you are EVER in Thailand - please, please do yourself and your traveling mates a huge favor and find time to make it into David's Kitchen! On my word - you will absolutely not regret it. Cheers!"

David’s Kitchen: "Wonderful restaurant!"

"My mom and I recently travelled to Chiangmai and had a wonderful meal at David's Kitchen! Everything was delicious but the pumpkin soup was amazing and a must try!! The owners and staff could not have been nicer. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Chiangmai. Also a wonderful addition to our experience which made getting to the restaurant so easy was a pickup service (at an additional cost) to and from our hotel. Made getting to the restaurant so easy!"

Mie Cafe: "Chef’s recommendation"

Review by: Gballer | Source: Trip Advisor
We ended up trying this restaurant from the recommendation of the head chef of Lecuisine Wat Damnak (another review), and we loved it. Cozy fine dining restaurant, where we ended up trying some of the a la carte dishes instead of the degustation menu. Really enjoyed the food (new Khmer dishes) and atmosphere, and even despite a heavy rainstorm, which caused a semi-flood in the outdoor seating area. Made it extra cozy.

MesaStila: "One night stay, beautiful srroundings, will return"

Review by: Neilwmckay | Source: tripadvisor.com
"The resort is set in beautifully landscaped grounds with views of volcanoes in every direction. They also have a small coffee plantation onsite and the coffee itself is only available in the hotel. Rooms were huge and nicely fitted out. Would loved to have stayed longer, but was following a tight itinerary through central and eastern Java. Will return for sure. "

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing experience"

Review by: Brittany G | Source: Trip Advisor
"I had a very enjoyable experience on my two night stay at Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris. The accommodations were great and the food was wonderful. The team was very friendly and the guides very knowledgeable. The team takes care of every detail of the stay so I didn't have to worry about anything. After every game drive, the staff was waiting to greet us with fresh cool towels and water. Overall, a wonderful and amazing experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for adventure without compromising on comfort."

Quality of everything in the hotel are outstanding. The owner and staffs are very dedicated. A real hideaway break that you can find in the city of Chiangmai. Walking distance to weekend night market and close to temple and Oasis Spa

Supanniga Eating Room: "Omg!!"

Review by: Dave C | Source: Trip Advisor
"Booked this place for our last meal in Bangkok, had a snoop online and reviews looked good. Okay we have eaten everywhere around the world, 2 Michelin Star restaurants etc and this is some of the best food I have ever eaten, seriously out of this world. The Red Crab Curry was to die for, however for me the Sea Bass was 10/10 and I am sat at the airport typing this still smiling, great meal! One for the bucket list when visiting Bangkok Do. Yourself a favour though, order your starters, chill, eat them, have a drink and then order your main, it's worth enjoying this one"

Sea Dance Resort: "More incredible than the pictures depict, Should be a 5 start resort!!"

Review by: Jacqueline C | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel was AMAZING! After staying in other "4 star" resorts on various islands and arriving to properties that did not come close to our expectations, we weren't expecting anything to write home about. Needless to say we were more than pleasantly surprised with the quality of this resort. The bathrooms are GORGEOUS, facilities are clean, and the pool was luxurious and beautiful. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, they even brought us complimentary boozy popsicles while we lounged by the pool! If you want to stay somewhere that is far enough from the town that you can experience a hidden oasis, yet easily access the town for dinner/shopping/etc. with a $4 taxi ride, then this is the perfect place for you.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Lovely boutique hotel, very personal staff"

Review by: tallybean | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had an excellent stay here. From the moment we arrived we felt totally taken care of. For example, on our last day we had an early check out and had to go catch a flight, and our luggage was loaded into a cab and we were given bags of breakfast to go. The staff here was incredibly friendly and they made our stay very special. The building itself is very thoughtfully decorated, and you can tell that a lot of attention went into the small details. The pool on the roof offers a lovely respite from the heat, as does the gin and tonic bar at happy hour. The neighborhood is also quite nice. There are a lot of really nice places nearby to eat, and for all budgets. (One of the fanciest is called Bo.Lan and it is amazing.) The public transportation is also quite close, so in our short stay we were able to do some of the main tourist attractions as well. It was nice to come back to a lively neighborhood for dinner and drinks, and have so many options near the hotel. We had a great time on our honeymoon here! Highly recommended!"
