Arumdalu: "Best way to reconnect with nature, Arumdalu is your gateway to get-away"

"Arumdalu is the best place to get a little getaway from your hustle and bustles in daily life. This is the ultimate destination to connect with the nature, enjoy the calm beach, catch the sunset, and to touch base with the unexplored. Sahang Beachfront, their in-house restaurant is one of the best restaurant on earth, where they serve delicious fusion culinary using their natural and organic ingredients. Overall, Arumdalu Private Resort Belitung is a must-visit place in your lifetime, it will be much worth it. Stayed March 2017, traveled on business"

Jing’s Residence: "Luxury hotel in the middle of an ancient walled city"

"Stayed here for two night during our tour of China. Unexpectedly luxurious hotel in the middle of Pingyao - also very expensive particularly when compared to any other hotel in Pingyao. Having said the above the service was faultless and the hotel was clean and comfortable - which considering the coal dust in the air must have taken some doing. Breakfasts were OK but the evening meals were very good indeed."

Arumdalu: "Lovely and peaceful"

We had the resort to ourselves for 4 days.If you want some fresh air and peace and quiet this is the place to come! Beautiful beach and lovely staff! Just watch out for the sandflies. Two days would probably be ideal.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "The Last of a Dying Breed"

"They don't make hotels like this anymore. Which is a pity, because a stay at Tiger Mountain is about so much more than just 'physical' luxury. It's enriching - visually, intellectually and emotionally. First things first - it's a fantastic property, perched high up on a mountain overlooking the Pokhara Valley with fantastic views of the Annapurna range. This is eco-luxury at its finest : great views, great service, great food but with minimal environmental impact. The rooms are nice, in a spartan sort of way (no TV, no WiFi, no aircon - not that you need it) with four poster beds, charmingly rustic furniture and a private, sit out balcony. The food is fantastic - among the best you will ever have, whether it's traditional Nepali fare or the more Western dishes that are traditionally served at dinner. But many hotels have great views, great rooms and great food. Tiger Mountain's secret weapon are it's guests and the fact that dinner is a communal meal where all the guests get together over 4 courses and copious amongst of alcohol. Over the course of 3 nights we met a couple who had driven a Land Rover from London to South Africa and who were currently doing relief work in Nepal, a Scotsman who spent a year living in a campervan with him family and his dog, and an ex military attache who also oversaw the recruitment of Gurkhas for the British Army. Simply put, these are things money can't buy. And that's to say nothing of Marcus, the Managing Director of the place who makes it a point to have a drink with every one of his guests and who has a number of remarkable insights and anecdotes about Nepal, India, England and everything in between to share. If you're looking for a traditional luxury hotel with every modern comfort, this property probably isn't for you. But if you're looking for old world charm, delightful dinnertime conversations and a view that just doesn't quit, Tiger Lodge has your number. It may be a bit pricey, but it's Worth Every Penny."

Tugu Lombok: "Rest in paradise"

"We staid there for 3nights and we loved it The place is beautiful very different from other 5star hotels. They respect the tradition and the Indonesian history and try to adjust to the hotel decoration. It's a beautiful and calm place. We were lucky the hotel was not crowded. It was low season and we had the hotel almost to ourselves. Very nice staff. The beach is the best we got in Indonesia with warm water but a lot of corals (you should were protection shoes) They have 2 restaurants at the hotel There are 2 big pools. The only bad thing is the prays in the middle of the night. They are Muslims and they pray in the middle of the night and wake you up with the speakers. You have transportation service, excursions to gili, spa, kayaks, paddel board, cooking lessons, snorkeling.. Our breakfast was included and we could have it at any time of the day.. So it was more of a lunch.. And the food is not expensive. It is a romantic place to go and spend a few days. One of my favorite hotel in the world! Stayed March 2017"

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "BACK IN SEVENTH HEAVEN"

"No other way to describe Tiger Mountain Lodge. Spectacular setting. I said I would be back and yes, a very long way for a short cut but worth all the extra miles for my second visit. And my room back. Just like coming home. Great welcome. Nowhere else will ever be able to come close to the pampering given to all from morning wake up coffee right through the day. Pre dinner drinks and nibbles get the taste buds going. Also a good time for a chat.with Dol Raj and Jhalak. Wonderful imaginative food. Lalu and his team should start cookery lessons. My attempt at masala rumble tumble went straight in the bin! Hari has infinite patience and steady hands when out walking with non trekkers. Who needs mountains to climb when TMPL is so close and comfortable? Yes Saga clients seriously miss out. Such a pity as a two night stay on main tour plus three night extension would be well worth it. Marcus and team. Very many thanks for yet another fantastic stay. I will be back, even if under my own steam. "

Inle Princess Resort: "As before, just excellent"

"My most recent stay at Inle Princess Resort was, like all my previous ones, wonderful. I find everything at the resort just excellent, the chalets, restaurant, spa, bar, gift shop and again, above all, the people. Several staff members speak some basic German and Spanish and I encourage guests to give them a chance to practice their language skills. The resort is beautiful (a swimming pool was almost completed when I was there), but I find it a very good experience to take a bicycle and to explore the countryside, nearby villages, markets, or the winery, just ask at the front desk. The food, whether Burmese (e.g., curries, Mohinga, home made ice cream) or Western (e.g., BBQ Chicken on Steamed Pumpkin), was always delicious. My secret, I simply followed the recommendations of the chef (Nwe Oo) or of one of her assistants (Mo Kham). Very impressive is the social responsibility of the resort owner family, supporting the local population in many ways (e.g., health, orphanages, schools, education and more)."

Inle Princess Resort: "A unique and beautiful place to stay"

Set on the majestic, vast and serene Inle Lake, with its floating villages, this beautiful resort is nestled amongst tropical gardens and pods of lily pads. We enjoyed staying in a lovely, spacious lake chalet which had both an indoor and outdoor shower. The service was first class, meals excellent and the pampering spa amazing. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay. We hope to return.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "<3"

A few days before the trip, I happened to feel insecure about the trip. Because it was my first time to go such an adventurous place without my family members. As the day came, i still joined with my friends. My first impression about the hotel was the "Security" that they gave to me. I was actually over thinking about how dangerous it was to visit a place located in the middle of the river surrounded by the forest. But I felt relieved as they did everything they could to have my trust. My second impression was the interaction between the people and the environment. It was so refreshing and beautiful. That's how the nature is supposed to be like. My third impression would be the hotel, 4 Rivers Floating Lodge itself. It was incredibly amazing how the products that were placed in the hotel were actually could be decomposed and not going to effect the environment. The facilities that we needed in our daily life were placed in the hotel too even though it's on the river. I felt so safe and secure because they provided materials that could save us in some cases. The people were so nice and polite. The foods was great in every meals and the transportation was good too. I've learned something new there. I hope to visit that place again <3
