David’s Kitchen: "棒棒的餐厅,令人放松、舒适的用餐体验"

Review by: A TripAdvisor China | Source: Trip Advisor
从猫途鹰搜到DK是清迈排名第一的餐厅后,就抱着一定要来打卡的念头。餐厅食物还不错,环境优雅,最最重要的是老板和服务员都很礼貌、友善。正如很多评论中说的一样,老板David会跟每一位顾客聊天,当然不是简单粗暴的打断顾客的用餐,而是会观察顾客的用餐情况,找合适的时机与顾客聊聊。大概是因为当天中国游客很少,很开心被邀请进入厨房,与主厨O及员工们合影,很棒的用餐体验哦!

Tugu Malang: "Such a wonderful place"

Review by: Hotfarm | Source: Trip Advisor
"During a round trip in Java we passed Malang and had arranged to stay at Hotel Tugu based on a recommendation from our Indonesian travel agent - and we were not disappointed!! Upon arrival we were greeted by the smiling and very friendly staff in the reception. We immediately felt welcome and 'at home'. At the same time we received a voucher for 15 minutes of (free) massage and an invitation for afternoon tea. The rooms are not large but large enough, with a nice bed and beautiful decorations ... especially the bathroom with the hand-hammered stainless steel bathtub impressed me. Even before we started unpacking we were seated in the museum-like lobby and had both Java tea and Java coffee served alongside the wonderful selection of small cakes ... in light of the easy access to coconut, the only thing I missed was the Danish 'kokos-toppe' (coconut tops) :-) Later we had dinner in the restaurant and after recommendation from the staff we had some excellent meals. In the morning we experienced the same eagerness to help and we ended up trying a number of both local and Indonesian breakfast dishes. A final observation ... all hotel managers - listen and learn ... when we checked out we got a small farewell present; - a package of the coffee used for the Java coffee, - we got a big smile and - a 'think of us when you have your next coffee'. This is so good thinking compared to other hotels which e.g. gives a Danish family 20% discount on airport transfer and a free membership of the Family Club if we come back to Indonesia with the family before Christmas. If I'm ever back in Malang I would not dream of staying anywhere else. Thank you"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Beautiful colonial experience"

Review by: TheIndianFamily | Source: Trip Advisor
Glenburn is a beautiful colonial place where you can enjoy the most amazing hospitality and food. Anthony and his team did a great job of taking care of everything impeccably. Sabin prepared delicious teas and meals, we didn’t have any food repeated in the 6 days we were there. The rooms are huge and beautifully done up. The bay window is a boon. Equal care has been taken in choosing crockery as the linens. A visit to the campsite was beautiful and very well organised. The spa treatment was fantastic. Overall excellent care was taken of our family.

Heritage Suites: "Undoubtedly one of the best hotels in the country"

Review by: addictedtotravel2015 | Source: Trip Advisor
"What a wonderful experience. Starting from the moment I arrived, till I left I was made to feel like I was royalty or even better. Being welcomed with a cold towel and a lovely drink was the perfect welcome after a long drive. Upon arrival the reception explained that there was going to be a party in the lobby that evening and therefore some noise transfer, hence they had upgraded me to a bungalow. And what an upgrade. This bungalow was absolutely magnificent, possessing it's own sauna and small garden. The room was comfortable and super spacious and could well have served as someone's home. The swimming pool was delightful, a comfortable temperature and the whole area was peaceful and somewhat of an oasis after a day of temple hopping. Breakfasts were of the highest calibre, with the most wonderful selection of pastries as standard, followed by orders from the menu. There was something for everyone and absolutely no way someone could go hungry. Everyday, upon returning from sightseeing, I was greeted by name and given a cold towel. It was these nice touches that stand out compared to many other luxury hotels. When I came to check out, I asked if I could use a shower on returning from my sightseeing and before my flight to London. Instead of just offering me a shower in the spa, I was offered the use of the room free of charge until 6pm that evening. I appreciate that the hotel was not too busy, but even so they did not have to do that, and it was very much appreciated. Their efforts to make me welcome will live long in the memory. Whilst I only stayed for two nights I had a fantastic time at the hotel, all capped off by the wonderful service. I could have stayed much longer."

Dewakan: "Wong family"

Review by: Richard CM W | Source: Trip Advisor
Excellent. Family of 9 enjoyed the dishes very much and also like the ambient. Although out of the city centre in Shah Alam in the KDU University College campus, it worth the trip!

Reverie Siam: "Wonderful and fairy tale like oases just outside PAI city center"

Review by: Tim A | Source: Trip Advisor
reverie Siam lies just ouside Pai, the distance is perfect. Quit, but close to the village. You enter a place with a relaxing atmosphere and wonderful designed rooms/villa's. There are two big (salt) swimming pools. Everything is thought of in this resort. The fruit snacks when you are at the pool, a thai telephone to loan when you are going to town and the list goes on. The WIFI connection is fast (10mb) The a la cart breakfast is very nice, a wide variety of choices. What is best, is the staff. Never We encountered staff in thailand who are so engaged with the wellbeing of the resort en their guests. We extended our stay from 3 nights to 9 nights, that says enough.

Akame: "Superb Taiwan native style grill"

Review by: EdwardLu | Source: Trip Advisor
"Hidden in the mountain of Pingdong Taiwan The chefs are well experienced with several famous bistros and finally got back home for their native town Hard to imagine there's such delicate high end grill restaurant in such country side of south Taiwan. Menu differs everyday, planned by chef according to the very fresh materials Grilled bbq food is superb! Every dish are delicious, I like the pork-type, and fresh seafood fish Their signature dessert is the cinnamon sticks, It's on pricey side, but definitely worth the money, Not taking any drop in guests, and it's Super difficult to make reservation; usually takes a month or so in advance; Service is superb, they also provide some combination of wine; A must go restaurant, it's very far, but you will find it worth the journey"

Maison Polanka: "Eden"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Member | Source: Trip Advisor
"Do not miss ! The place is intimate, not only in the romantic meaning but actually great for families and friends - only a few rooms, so the atmosphere is always cosy and welcoming. Fantastic garden with a beautiful pool, the rooms are arty with a unique touch quite far away from typical 5 stars hotels. But the pearl of the place is just the people and the staff, the best service we had ever, after many years traveling all across Asia. Always of good advice and great attentiveness - smiling and cheerful!! We've fallen under the charm of the place and dream to come back !"

Misool Eco Resort: "Spectacular and Amazing vacation"

Review by: Timmi002 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wow, how does one write a review about paradise. This place is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth with diving that surely rivals the best on earth. From A to Z, this place is top notch. We stayed in Water Cottage 1 right by the Dive Shop and loved the proximity to our daily dive ritual. The cottage itself is gorgeous, all made from salvaged local wood. The outdoor bathroom/shower is perfect for the setting, full of eco-friendly bath products. The veranda is amazing with lounge chairs, a bed and a hammock (over the lagoon), offering incredibly views of the lagoon and fish down below, plus stairs down to lagoon for easy access for swimming or snorkeling or just a dip to cool off. The cottage was cleaned and refreshed every morning during our first dive. The bed set up with the AC and mosquito netting is tastefully done and did in fact prevent mosquitos from getting in while keeping us cool and comfortable at night. The food was delicious from morning till night. Fresh bread, tasty homemade granola, egg dishes, smoothies, juices, salads, desserts, fish, chicken, pasta, etc. And I can't forget to mention the fresh baked fantastic cookies served every afternoon. The chef serves a wide variety of great food to keep the guests sustained and ready to spend their days diving or snorkeling. They also serve a wide variety of wine and some beer. The staff in the restaurant provided excellent service. As for the diving, well, it's impossible to really describe other than to say it is out of this world. Since returning I have decided the best way to describe it is like in the cartoons such as Finding Nemo or The Little Mermaid. The incredible variety of coral really is THAT colorful and gorgeous. The fish really are that big and stunning. Tons of schools of all sorts of fish - bump heads, snapper, giant trivially, and batfish. Plus sharks, turtles, eels, sea cucumbers, sea horses, starfish, sea worms, banner fish, clown fish and the list goes on. But the coup de grace of Misool diving is the manta ray. Massive and majestic creatures that are otherworldly. I could dive with them all day and never get bored. The organization of the diving is the best I have ever experienced. Extreme attention is paid to safety. I always felt in good hands thanks to all the staff including Calvin and Sabine, but especially our amazing and caring dive master James. We went diving with him for 8 days on the same boat with the same equipment master and speedboat driver. They were so kind and thoughtful, I wanted to take them home with me. There was something amazing to see on every single dive. The one down side about this place is that we had to leave. And I do believe that I am now forever spoiled. Misool Eco Resort is truly a 5 star destination."
