Slow Villas and Spa: "Everything is perfect here"

On a fairly rustic island, Slow Gili is a modern paradise. Julie the manager was incredibly helpful with talking us through the island and what to see. The rooms are modern, clean and plush. I just wish we had stayed here for longer. Their spa is also fantastic! Highly recommend!

David’s Kitchen: "Best Restaurant in Chiang Mai"

What a wonderful evening at David's Kitchen. Even though it was a monsoon outside, the restaurant was absolutely packed. Both food and drink were great. I highly recommend the lobster bisque. The cocktail and wine list were both excellent. Chef David stopped by every table to chat with the customers and make sure they were having a great meal. Excellent and personalized service at its best.

Tugu Bali: "Wonderful, warm reception"

Excellent home base for our first few nights in Bali. Wonderful cooking right at the lodge. We were impressed by our spacious room and the beautiful reception areas and pools. The staff were truly warm and welcoming. Exquisite hotel grounds, restaurants and more. The spa was quite nice as well.

Villa Song: "Unbelievably amazing"

"We're on our Honeymoon and just had a two hour spa experience that was simply incredible. It was about $100 for two of us, for the best treatment package we've ever had. Salt scrub, full body massage, then epic multi-phase facial, and we are GLOWING. And totally blown away. Combined with the friendly, super accommodating staff, the lovely room with the gorgeous view, the free water shuttle to downtown, and the lovely grounds, we simply couldn't be happier."

The Hue House: "Delicious food and nice atmosphere"

This restaurant is only about a four minutes walk from the M Gallery Arts Hotel. The food was tasty and a little different from the Southern cuisine. We really enjoyed the experience and it was also very reasonable. Top marks to the chef and the waiting staff.

Jing’s Residence: "The best hotel we have stayed at anywhere!"

"My husband and I just checked out from a two day stay at Jing’s Residence, and I must say it was the most enjoyable hotel we have ever stayed at in the world. It is not overly opulent nor extravagant, just perfectly designed, with exceptional service, and every detail is taken care of. Imam and his team could not have been more accommodating and attentive, and were never overbearing or fussy. Afternoon tea was a wonderful experience, breakfast was excellent, and the in room local snacks were very much appreciated. The hotel itself is exceptionally beautiful. Furniture and artwork has been very tastefully selected, and the outdoor spaces are as well maintained as the indoor ones. The location couldn’t have been better, steps from the sights and shops but in a very quiet and peaceful part of the old city. I couldn’t recommend this hotel more, and not only should it be where you stay during your time in Pingyao, you should come to Pingyao just to stay here!"

Tugu Malang: "prachtig hotel in koloniale stijl"

"mooie schone luxe kamers aan een vijver. Ontbijt heerlijk en uitgebreid. Theetijd moet je zeker meemaken; koekjes en dawet waren erg lekker. Hotel ligt in het centrum aan een groot plein. Fietstocht met John was een succes vooral het gekleurde dorpje aan de rivier Brantas sungei. Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam Alle ruimtes waren smaakvol ingericht en een aanrader voor iedereen."

Tugu Bali: "Cooking lessons at Tugu Resort"

"We had an amazing experience at Hotel Tugu; from the initial welcome you could tell we were in for something special. The outdoor setting was immaculately prepared and the fresh ingredients inspired our appetites. Daisey and the chef were engaging and took the time to explain how to build the flavours in Indonesian food. We had our meal in a lovely private setting. After dessert we were treated for a private tour by Jenny, the manager of the resort, who took the time to explain the philosophy of the founder and the history of the resort's various artifacts. In summary Tugu Hotel in Bali is a combination of a 5 star resort and a museum with unique rooms/villas and the personal touch that you get at boutique hotels. Within a stone's throw from a great surfing beach and various other great locations in Canggu; Definitely one of the hidden gems in Bali. Stayed April 2017, traveled with friends"

Reverie Siam: "Favorite place we stayed on our honeymoon"

"This resort is truly phenomenal! This place embodies elegance, comfort and class. Not only are the grounds gorgeous, but the service is fantastic as well. We checked in and were greeted with drinks and a tour of our room and the facilities. The hotel had a very quick transport service to drive us into the city whenever we needed. The beds were really comfortable and our room had wonderful locally made toiletries that smelled like freshly peeled ripe oranges. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. We ate at the Silhouette Bar & Restaurant every morning for breakfast and once for dinner. The presentation was beautiful and the food was fresh and tasty. When I think back to my honeymoon, I will always think about this beautiful retreat in Pai!"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Reminiscent of the Raj"

"I visited the Estate in May 2015 for a week with my family. The welcome drink at the airport and Break at a scenic location overlooking the confluence of 2 rivers with tea, muffins, sandwichs served in typical English style were a delight and set tone for a very different vacation. The Estate (1600 Acres, i was told) is nestled on a hill top and the view is just incredible. We managed to see the Kanchanjunga for 15 minutes on the day we came and thereafter, it remained cloudy during our stay The Food is very good, the tea is on demand (u can order any type u want.. n number of times) and the dinner is a formal sit down affair in the dining hall. They have a log house at the riverside .. the drive, fishing and food again is worth the time. For the excursions to city etc, u get a Scorpio with a driver, attendant in proper uniform who takes care of the food, water, logistics, toy train tickets, etc... u dont need to move a finger. Everything taken care of .. professionally. Visit their tea factory .. nice place to see how tea is made. All in all ... a great place to sit back, get pampered, enjoy the view, have tea and realise that you have been drinking apology of a tea all this time. Fantastic place ... great staff. Oh .. yes .. they still use cutlery from England."
