The Apsara Rive Droite: "Wonderful hotel with first-class service from friendly staff"

Review by: GrahamLB2017 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Everything about the Aspara Rive Droitte is just right. Mr Ai and Mr Hann (the management team) and Mr Ivan (the owner) went out of their way to make our stay wonderful and all the other staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, with the hotel's dedicated Aspara Queen taking 60 seconds to cross the Nam Khan and deliver you to the heart of Luang Prabang - and, conversely, escape to the more serene side of the Nam Khan. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, and breakfast wonderful. The pool is a welcome relief from the heat of Laos, with the bar just a few steps away. After 5 days at this home-from-home, we were sad to leave. We hope to go back"

Tugu Bali: "Amazing"

Review by: Mickey A | Source: tripadvisor.com
"What a superb property. Only 21 rooms, built on wooden structures and with great ethnic feel. The service is amazing and so is the food. There is direct access to the beach and the beach side garden is great to lounge in with tonnes of space. At night dinner can be served in this garden. Try it. The place is full of antique statues and is a photographers delight. The property is flush with greenery and water bodies. Loved it."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "One of the best boutique hotels I have stayed in"

Review by: Ian T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Beautiful accommodation set on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Amazing staff, two restaurants serving local fish. Also can recommend the Spa offering Ayurevic massage. Bungalows simply appointed but very comfortable. The open air garden in the en suite was a novel idea. Beautiful gardens with the passing mongoose going about their daily business. Infiniti pool was huge with plenty of sunbeds. This was my last stay on my Kerala tour. Trailfinders left the best til last!"

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Something to remember at Noel’s Leopard Safari"

Review by: desilva | Source: tripadvisor.com
"My wife & I with two friends stayed at Noel's leopard safaris for one night. Did a safari & saw leopard (quite healthy & large) at about 6.30 pm on 13 August '15. This camp is beautiful, unusual and yet very comfortable (our honeymoon room was 5 star) and has a ""wow"" factor you don't find in many places. Very friendly staff, with superb service, also they serve some sumptuous meals (with local produce) with lovely wines and other spirits. We highly recommend this camp to anyone who loves wild life and appreciate efficient service. Thank you Noel, hope to see you again. Sharmaine & Roshan (Sydney,Australia) "

Nimmu House: "un hôtel chaleureux"

Review by: AJP D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Nous avons séjourné en juin à 2 reprises dans cet havre de paix qu'est le Nimmu hôtel. Nous avons apprécié les chambres et les tentes puisque nous avons quasiment tout testé puisque l'un des membres de notre groupe ayant souffert du mal des montagnes, nous avons du rejoindre en ""urgence"" des altitudes plus supportables. L'accueil que nous ont réservé l'équipe (notamment Audrey, Pauline et Sonam) a été formidable de gentillesse et d'attention. L'hotel est souvent cité en référence et c'est à juste titre. Le restaurant de type ""familial"" est très agréable et nous y avons bien mangé. Le site est superbe et c'est une bonne adresse pour explorer la vallée de l'Hindus ou se reposer après un truck."

Sea Dance Resort: "Relaxation at its best!"

Review by: JRG R | Source: Trip Advisor
"I stayed at Sea Dance with my family at the beginning of October for 7 nights. What an amazing place! From airport transfer right through to the facilities - absolutely fantastic. Sea Dance is close enough to the center of Chaweng for those who need nightlife entertainment, but far enough away for those who just want to spend their days lazing around the pool with a fine glass of wine while listening to the waves crash ashore. Botique personal service. Almost ever staff member knew us on a first name basis. Even the owner who is actively involved with this beautiful resort. Free use of kayaks and life jackets. Weekly buffets and cocktail events. There is just so much to do at the resort without having to leave! We were fortunate enough to stay in a pool villa. Large rooms with a small plunge pool to cool off on those hot days. This is a place we will miss, but surely not forget! See you all again soon!"

Babe: "Breath taking food in an amazing vibe"

Review by: nikilundberg | Source: Trip Advisor
"I went to Babe for my last dinner in KL and I couldn't find a better way to end my trip. Everything with this place is magnificent; the atmosphere, the interior, the staff and, of course, the food. I'm a vegetarian so usually it's a little bit harder for me to get that mind blowing experience I know a lot of meat eaters get when they are in places like this. However, this time that wasn't a problem. I tried eight of the vegetarian dishes and each one of them reached above my expectations. I started with the compressed caesar salad which was the best caesar salad I've ever had. Instead of bacon you got a crispy salty coconut flake - such an innovative way of making vegetarian food fun. The dishes kept on rolling in and the majority of them literally exploded in my mouth (when you go there you will understand what i mean). A must try is the watermelon carpaccio, the potato puré with onion jam and the beet root role. And also, if you are a fan of miso soup - it's the best I've ever had. Besides the food I had a couple of drinks and they all kept the level. Try the Malaysian tea - it's so delicious! When leaving this place it came to me that it won't be long until I visit KL again. Thank you Babe for giving me an experience I'll never forget."

Inle Princess Resort: "Beautiful and quiet lake site resort"

Review by: Harry R | Source: Trip Advisor
"We arrived at the resort by boat from Nyaung Shwe. Some 100 m from the hotel, motors are no longer allowed. A rower came on board and leg-paddled us to the jetty. This exemplifies the resort's emphasis on quiet and relaxation. Our cottages were on the lake. From the terrace, the sunsets were beautiful. Our room had binoculars provided for bird watching. A spa with a massage menu, bicycle rentals, and a swimming pool rounded out the offerings. Breakfast and dinner on a sundeck were tasty and included a sampling of local and Shan cuisine. I highly recommend the resort. Room Tip: Lakeside cottages were private and delightful."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Exceptional in every way"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Member | Source: Trip Advisor
"My husband and I did the 7-day detox package, which includes yoga, meals made to suit our constitutions and health requirements, and 2 luxurious Ayurvedic treatments a day, plus consultation with their Ayurvedic Doctor. There's no doubt we've never felt better, but on top of that we were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service, the kindness and attentiveness of the people who work there and the stunning gardens, pool and sea views. And the food is an art - fresh, creative, flavourful and satisfying. Truly a first class experience, with every detail attended to beyond our expectations. What makes this place special above all are the wonderful people who will make your stay more than just a vacation, but a lifelong memory. It may seem expensive, but it's worth every dollar! If you go, be sure to take their free bicycles out for a ride in the village! "
