Rachamankha: "Tranquility"
Rachamankha was wonderful. Very clean rooms, great customer service and extremely quiet. The rooms were big with AC, lots of free bottled water and a hair dryer. Every detail was beautifully thought out. No complaints and I have already recommended it to many friends. I would return for sure.Bassac Mekong Delta Cruises by Secret Retreats: "Wonderful experience"
Seeing the sunrise over the Mekong was an unforgettable experience. The food on board the boat is superb and we enjoyed the visit to local villages and seeing the floating market. Our guide, Annie, was excellent too.Rachamankha: "Oasis in Chaing Mai"
This Ong-ard-designed hotel is a marvelous oasis in this bustling city. The staff is extremely attentive and the restaurant is as good as any in town. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the design continually surprises and pleases you. You can't go wrong staying hereAmata Lanna: "Hidden jem"
"This is the second time we have stayed here and hopefully not the last. The owner and staff are amazing and very helpful. We stayed in the same room as before which overlooks the lovely little pool. Room is a good size with a large bathroom with both shower and large bath. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was always a delight with both Asian and western choices. I understand that the owners are having a second hotel built,if the same standards are kept up it can only be a great success."SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Great fine dining in Yangon"
Together with Le Planteur this is the best fine dining in Yangon. We went here for an early Saturday lunch. The business set lunch menu is priced at a good level. Affordable for frequent visits. I chose the Norwegian salmon entry and beef stew as main course. Wife selected the scallop soup and ravioli. All dishes were tasty and good. Also plenty of really nice bread and a taste of pumpkin soup were served. All in all a really good food in beautiful location, scenery and decor. Wish Seeds could tone down their rediculous organic focus which is not very suitable in a country depending on sustainable agriculture growth and where deforestation is an issue. Nevertheless, we hope to come back again soon for another great lunch or dinner experience.Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song – a boutique gem with a surprisingly nice pool"
great place - friendly staff - good attention to detail - really nice pool and all next to the river plus a free boat ride to the city takes about 15 mins Great garden / restaurant bar/grill 5 mins taxi ride away called The Patio if you don't want to dine by the river at the hotelGLENBURN TEA ESTATE: "Magical Space"
"At the end of a long, bumpy ride from Bagdogra you arrive at a beautiful tea plantation set on a hill with day and night views in all directions. Will, Faye and the rest of the staff could not be more accommodating. From a wakeup tea or coffee in your room to three wonderful meals a day it is a special place. The staff will take you on a tour of the tea plantation and villages, hiking to the river, tours to Darjeeling - you name it. You are met at the airport and returned after your stay. We stayed three nights which was minimal to take it all in. Guides tell us that after the monsoon season the place is green and the mountains in full view. "Tugu Bali: "Aesthetic delights"
"Hotel Tugu is a different hotel than most, and for me - better. Why? I stayed in a suite, more expensive than my custom but I loved the space, the views, the lily pond below and the style of accommodation. The idea of Tugu is that it houses a collection of antique Indonesia art - which I loved - and the hotel itself is designed to be congruent with the art it houses. So you have a place with a quality of history, of character and of class - all at the same time. It is comfortable, the facilities are excellent, I ate extremely well and most noticeably, I was so well looked after by all of the staff there. I would happily return, and that is my best recommendation."Maduzi Hotel: "Excellent stay"
"Stayed in the Maduzi hotel for 3 nights. I love it. Everything about the room is amazing. Very spacious, comfy bed, jacuzzi, make-up area, separated space to put my luggage. All in very good condition. Wifi works well. Very helpful staff. The location is great too with 5 mins walk to T21 or Asok station or the MRT. No hesitation to stay here again."Maison Polanka: "A thoroughly great, homey, unique, and all around enjoyable place to stay"
"I've stayed in a ton of hotels for work and fun, from hostels to five star, and this place really stands out. The fundamentals are there (comfortable bed, A/C, linens, toiletries, quiet, etc.), the services is top-notch, and the grounds are really beautiful and relaxing, but not in a canned resort kind of way. It's a quiet and spacious oasis in the middle of an otherwise busy city. The food is excellent, and I was impressed by the wine list. The ownership seems to have some French influences. Sadly, we didn't have time to try out a massage, but they're very affordable. We used the house bikes to check out the town, which I thought was great, but my husband found bike riding in Siem Reap very stressful."
