Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Safari"
We were at the camp sit for a night in a tent and we had a safari. It was a greath journey. The hole set up was amazing and the guides really know a lot about wildlife. The food is delicious and the nature is wonderful.Talabgaon Castle: "Best of India"
"I can't begin to express how incredibly gracious the manager and staff are and how hard they worked to make sure our stay was nothing short of magical. Do yourself a favor and add this to your itinerary if exploring Northern India. We went to Jaipur right after by car and driver. So this was definitely doable, even if just for one night. Be sure to get cash out before you arrive and come hungry. The chef is fantastic. They have a bar and a beautiful pool on the property as well. Safe travels! Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A gem of a hotel"
Beautiful quiet resort not far from the liveliness of Chaweng. A very personal service from the best staff ever, who used our first names. Great breakfast & fabulous food, especially the set menu on Weds.Arumdalu: "Unearthly beautiful destination not far from the heart of Indonesia"
"I have no complain, instead a full satisfaction. Arumdalu resort is among the best private resorts I've stayed in a while. I would recommend visitors to experience sunrise and sunsets in the area of Arumdalu, it was astonishingly breathtaking. Also, I want to recommend you to try the food at their restaurant. The food offered was the best I've tasted around. Simply because they source the food locally, and some they even have their own farm to grow their ingredients. So fresh. Oh, and the most important part of all is the room. What I like about the room the most is that it lets a lot of natural light comes through the room. The light makes it so well lit and creates beautiful ambience during daytime and warm ambience during your night sleep. Very nice touch. TO get to Arumdalu is not far. around an hour by plane to Belitung (island where Arumdalu is located), and another hour by car from the airport. I would easily recommend this resort to anyone or any couple who would like a completely unique getaway and escape from the crowded and boring Jakarta. This is where you need to go! Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"Talabgaon Castle: "Unreal Experience"
"My wife and I recently visited this resort on our trip from San Francisco and could not have been happier with our stay. It is a beautiful property and the staff could not have been more hospitable. The grounds were beautifully maintained, the rooms were gorgeous and comfortable, and the food was fantastic. We stopped here for a night in between Agra and Jaipur. It is in the countryside so it is a very tranquil and peaceful setting when compared to the city. We were treated like royalty at this 200+ year old castle that was recently restored to this beautiful resort. The resort sits on 100 acres with expansive lawns, a pool, gardens, and a polo field. It is a perfect place to spend a night or two to unwind and get way from the hustle and bustle of India. 5+ stars across the board. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Historic hotel in Georgetown"
Lovely example of a restored historic building. Now a boutique hotel. It feels like you have stepped back in time. Rooms lovely, staff friendly and helpful and little touches make the difference. Well priced, good greakfast included. Great location for exploring Georgetown. Thoroughly recommended.Tandjung Sari: "A Slice of Heaven"
"Our second stay at Tandjung Sari was as wonderful as the first. We were looked after in every way by the beautiful staff at this special Hotel. Our room was perfect, with a comfortable bed and an outdoor shower that is just devine. Breakfast each morning was very good with enough options to have something different each day. If you are looking for a place to unwind, relax and be completely spoiled then this is the place for you. Tandjung Sari is so much more than a hotel., it is a home away from home full of loving friends just waiting to take care of you. We will be back!"Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Beautiful traditional house/inn in traditional Bukchon neighborhood – wonderful to stay and wander nearby"
"This beautiful traditional house (hanok) is set on a side street off Bukchonro road in the center of the Bukchon neighborhood. A convenient subway stop (Anguk Station) is about four blocks away. Rakkojae's four rooms surround a quiet courtyard. The are four rooms are lovely – each different. We had the smallest room, but it came with a lovely wooden porch overlooking the peaceful and beautiful courtyard. We sat on the porch to read in the morning and afternoons. We also had delicious breakfasts on the porch (we chose the delicious Korean breakfast, but Western is also available). You can arrange to have a Korean dinner served on the porch or in your room – we chose the Galbi dinner, which arrived with many small dishes (panchan) and chapchae (noodles) -- everything was delicious and beautiful. There is a small sauna tucked into the hanok – woven mats on the floor and patterns of cherry blossom trees on the walls. The manager Mr. Kim is friendly and helpful. He provided us with ideas and recommendations as we planned our explorations around the Bukchon neighborhood. We loved staying in the Bukchon neighborhood - fun, with a mix of old beautiful traditional buildings and cute and trendy clothing shops and coffee shops.Two palaces are close by (Gyeongbokong Palace and Changdeokgung Palace) as well as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and many art galleries (in Seochon neighborhood nearby).There are also small traditional handcraft workshops to visit. Because of the convenience of Anguk Subway Station and the efficiency of the Seoul subway we were easily able to use Bukchon as our base to explore all of Seoul. We were so happy with our choice to stay at Rakkojae and in the Bulchon neighborhood."MesaStila: "Two nights are NOT enough"
Spectacular resort set within a coffee plantation. Think being on yr 60 m2 terrace While facing forest and a Volcano, while you r hearing the Muezzins prayers. Breakfast and Dinners r great with a lot of European food offer (practical if you have kids and you do not want always discuss). Great Service and a lot of activities, such Yoga and Java dance classes, included in the price.The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Tell all my friends"
Tell all my friends - that's how i feel after 3 nights at this hygge hotel in a hipsterish area of Bangkok. The hotel is unique and delightful in every way (those seeking sterile glass and brass should look to chain hotels). Service is welcoming, helpful and gentle. My family of four (children 4 and 10) felt really comfortable and the other guests were a diverse mix of well mannered and cosmopolitan fellow travellers - we will definitely be back and will be telling our friends this is the place to stay in Bangkok!
