Glenburn Tea Estate: "One of the most amazing places we have ever stayed"

"We stayed at Glenburn for a long weekend. It was an unbelievable experience. Set in a truly unique location the estate is immaculately kept. Very nice rooms with magnificent views. The dining room is one very large table where all quests eat together. The food is excellent. The estate arranged various trips for us. They are very accommodating. We took a long walk down hill, several hours through absolutely gorgeous tea plantations. At the bottom Glenburn estate has a little cottage where lunch (with cold beers!) was served. We could have walked back up, but chose to drive back up. Very convenient. its the perfect place to unwind and relax and get a feel for this unique part of India."

Tugu Bali: "Amazing start to Bali trip"

"We spent four nights in Hotel Tugu and loved every moment. The service was exceptional--unfailingly friendly, on point, and accommodating. Highlights included: taking a surf lesson (the beach is just outside the hotel doorstep); eating breakfast including lattes, fruit smoothies, and a mix of western and Indonesian / Balinese dishes out on the patio overlooking the ocean; enjoying the beautiful ocean view & private bath in our Rejang Suite; the cooking class + market visit; and cooling off in the beautiful pool. One downside is that Canggu is somewhat hard to access. We found it impossible to request an Uber in the area, or even a Bluebird taxi, as the local taxi cartel seemed to have intimidated them and we were only offered to be picked up a few blocks away. In the hot & humid weather carrying luggage around is more unpleasant than it would otherwise be. But if you have your own hired driver and/or feel comfortable using the locals / drivers procured through the hotel, then this isn't a problem. There is enough to do within walking distance of Hotel Tugu--not to mention enough things going on at the hotel itself--that I would recommend it without hesitation if you are looking for a beautiful hotel on the ocean with some nice cultural touches included."

Yandabo Home: "Zwischenstopp mandalay-bagan"

"Ein kleines Schmuckstück im nirgendwo! Wir haben die kleine Auszeit zwischen vollgepackten Tagen in den größeren Städten sehr genossen! Die Zimmer sind unglaublich geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber! Service war schon fast unangenehm gut;)... es sprangen so viele Service Personen um uns herum aber trotzdem diskret wenn wir unsere Ruhe haben wollten! Frühstück war für uns das beste in ganz Myanmar! Auch das es kein Internet gab fanden wir eher sehr positiv! So habe ich mal die Zeit nutzen können alles erlebte in Ruhe aufzuschreiben! Uns hat es sehr sehr gut dort gefallen und können wir für jeden weiter empfehlen der Ruhe sucht für 1-2 Tagen!"

Tugu Bali: "Heaven"

Our three nights at Hotel Tugu were absolute perfection. The suite, the food, the service & the beautiful gardens could not be faulted. I would go back in heartbeat...or when my credit card bill is paid...whichever comes first.

Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful hotel in a peaceful setting"

"This may be the nicest hotel we have ever visited, and we have stayed at many special places around the world. The property is beautifully sited on the riverbank and the rooms are spectacular! Our room had a separate sitting area with an amazing bathroom and balcony overlooking the river. The staff was extremely helpful. We dined at the restaurant which was also amazing. Room Tip: River front rooms are amazing"

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "total relaxation"

Staff is great !! Stayed here with my sister who uses a wheelchair. From the moment I inquired about accesability, they helped us with solutions for possible difficulties. The resort is small, with lovely cottages, a nice pool area and a pleasant restaurant. The food is another big plus ! Fresh products from their own garden. It's very quiet and not far from Chaweng or Bophut. Would definately stay here again.

Flower Island: "Amazing place"

My boyfriend and I stayed here with two friends for 4 days and it was undoubtedly the most wonderful part of our trip to the Philippines! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the island itself is like paradise. We did some fantastic activities too - a tour of a pearl farm (which was fascinating), snorkelling trips, paddleboarding.. And we saw turtles just off the house beach. The huts are beautiful too and all look out to sea. Truely wonderful - we'd recommend this to anyone either as part of an active holiday or looking to chill out for a few days.

Inle Princess Resort: "Relaxing resort with great food"

"We stayed here for 2 nights in February and could have stayed a bit longer to explore the area more. This a lovely resort and the lake villa we had was really comfortable, clean with lovely bathroom and great outside shower. The food was great with lots of local dishes on the menu, using fresh produce. Service was excellent and the position of the restaurant just perfect. We organised a half day tour of the lake through the resort and this was certainly a highlight of our visit. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

David’s Kitchen: "Wine tasting and apps to match each"

Absolutely fabulous!!!!! All the wines were great and the finger food, yum yum. Lamb lollipops, scallops, shrimp and pork. All terrific. The tasting cost 900 tb per person and well worth it. We're going back and have checked out the menu and have picked a 7 course tasting. We figure without wine it will cost 4,000-4,500 tb. Very expensive but we hope worth it. Well deserved reputation, we'll let you know if it's worth the cash. Bon Appetite!

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing nature, food and hospitality"

"We arrived by a perfect flight into Yala on the day as a large group for a friends birthday celebration holiday. Noel was the perfect host, the staff and team were hospitable, knowledgeable and friendly. We did 4 safari's, over 2 large lots in the national park, spotted 8 leopards (one for a good half hour posed around a waterhole for perfect photos) and discovered many other birds and wildlife. The food was magical, different every meal, great vegetarian mixed with a touch of meat, no-one was left hungry, a great introduction to Sri Lankan food, it was hard to match after we left. Beds are comfortable, flushing toilets and outdoor showers added to the Safari. The honeymoon tent is aircon and glam so jump into that one, otherwise stay cool in the hammock provided outside your tent. I can honestly say, as an animal and bird lover, this was the highlight of my and my husbands trip, I not have the safari bug and want to do so many more! The best Safari in the region."
