Sea Dance Resort: "Friendly and welcoming"
"This is our second trip to Koh Samui and I would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff were friendly and were always available to help and give advice. Breakfast was good and the restaurant served a broad selection of Thai and international dishes throughout the day. One night each week the hotel hosts a cocktail and buffet evening. This was a good opportunity to meet the owner and staff in a casual environment. The individual rooms were clean with large bathrooms and a small private pool out front. The hotel provided robes and indoor slippers as well as flip flops for use around the resort. The main pool was quiet and had a lovely view of the beach and out to sea. The hotel was on a quiet road and some may find it too far from amenities other than a 7-11 close by however, we loved that this hotel was relaxed and felt exclusive. It took us around 20 minutes to walk to the busier main beach area. Overall we had a lovely stay and felt at home immediately. Thanks Sea Dance!"Satri House: "A real colonial retreat in beautiful Laos"
We enjoyed 4 days at Satri House for a legal conference and seemed to have the run of this elegant colonial rambling manor house which previously served as the Summer house for the prince. It is a unique blend of a the past with modern comforts .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!"Satri House: "Wonderful stay"
It was like paradise. So beautiful and peaceful. Lovely garden with a wonderful swimming pool. Room is huge with nice decoration and very comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good and included.Manukan Island Resort: "Paradise"
We booked for one night as a last minute treat during our stay in Borneo. We were overwhelmed by what we got. We originally booked the cheapest double room, but when we arrived and was shown to our room, even though we were before the check in time, we were flabbergasted that we were given a beach villa over looking the private beach and sea. The room was luxurious, the staff were attentive and our over night stay was romantic. The only problem we encountered was the restaurant staff, who forget to bring us our drinks and the food wasn't that great. Over all a fabulous place for that romantic get away.Villa Song Saigon: "Great quiet spot"
The hotel is in an interesting part of town with a lot of expats living nearby. Good local restaurants and the food at the hotel is really good. The conceirge go out of their way to be helpful especially Truc. They set up great dinner reservations and tours. We had the art suite with a connecting room for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. Was very comfortable and spacious. Great beds and strong air conditioning. There was a bit of noise from the loud music from hotel next door but not much you can do about that--it is the city. Had a very nice massage. All around a great property.Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Best place in Nepal to relax and enjoy the scenery and environment"
What kept me going on the tough 14-day trek up to Lo Mantang in Upper Mustang was the promise of relaxing and recovering in the peace and quiet of TM's Pokhara Lodge. My four days up at the hilltop lodge, with its chirruping birds and fluttering butterflies, fabulous views of icing sugar mountains in the mornings and twinkling lights at night, were wonderfully restoring. This was my third visit and, as ever, the staff were so caring and the comfort and cleanliness, delicious meals and drinks were just as I had remembered. And I really enjoyed the good company of Marcus and the other guests. Thank you to you all for looking after me and for making me feel very special on my birthday. Staying at your lodge sums up everything I love about Nepal.Flower Island: "Amazing"
"This island is staggering. We arrived on the boat to a millionaires welcome, we were blown away and the only guests on the island, ill never have this again in my life. Make sure you do the pearl lunch trip it was fab. Also sleep in the lighthouse, we stopped on the 5th floor to witness the sunrise, ill never forget our stay here."Maison Polanka: "Outstanding boutique hotel"
Great quality hotel with exceptional staff who could went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable. The grounds are delightful and the rooms spacious. The hotel is in easy reach of the town yet far enough out to offer a peaceful setting.Flower Island: "Gorgeous, stylish resort with a strong personal touch"
"Stayed three nights here last week, and had an unforgettable time. I think what sets this apart from some of the top end resorts is the personal touch and the tasteful, considered aesthetic. The cottages and restaurant are set back behind the palm trees so as not to create an imposing man made frontage. The use of natural objects like sea shells, bamboo and palms feels, along with the 'ethnic' decor somehow feels more inspired than the cliched attempts you usually see in these sorts of places. (....)the island does genuinely create a special sort of intimacy and calm. I really can not speak highly enough of this place."
