Manda De Laos: "Superb setting and attentive staff"

My wife and I ate there last night and were thoroughly impressed by the attentive staff and the quality of the food. Presentation was beyond anything you see in Canada and American. Prices are a little high by Laos standards but a bargain compared to equal caliber restaurants in the West. If you are in this quaint town.....it’s a must visit.

Satri House: "Unbelievably beautiful"

Stunning boutique hotel with a beautiful decor and excellent staff. Highly highly recommend for a luxurious stay. The breakfast was delicious with a good selection and the rooms were comfortable and cozy. No complaints what so ever.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Nice place & nice service!"

This place is so mach beautiful!!!!!! Though we haven't much time to look these view, but I'm pretty sure that I will choosing here to stay if I come to Malaysia next time. And their room services are very nice, you can find some drinks in the refrigerator of the room. Also you can eat some cookies, nyonya cake which on the desk of your room. All for free, don't worry. And when you wake up at morning, you can eat the best breakfast with the best view. I have a nice day at there, hope each one can go to there to feel old Chinese culture.

Flower Island: "Tropical Island Paradise"

My wife and I sent several wonderful days at Flower Island Resort. We made the special trip to see the Jewelmer Golden Pearl Farm on our second day. There we were shown how the oysters are propagated and grown. The crew there showed us the process of grafting oysters(where the bead is inserted in to the gonad) as while as the harvesting of the lustrous Golden Pearls. Our room was very comfortable traditional native hut with modern conveniences such as air conditioning and hot running water. We really enjoyed the wide variety of meals especially the pearl meat salad. There is a trail to a tower at the top of the island that gives you a 360 degree view. Another path takes you all the way around the island in about 35 minutes.

Tugu Lombok: "Wow"

"Initially we were planning to stay at another hotel for our 3 night stay in Lombok, but then I came across the reviews of this hotel, and I could not believe all the 5 stars. However, after our 3 nights were over, Tugu Lombok TRULY deserves all the 5 star reviews. Basically the hotel is situated next to its own private 900metre beach. Although we were there after a tide, the staff did its best to clean the beach every day. All along the beach there are deckchairs, open-air cabins chairs etc Rooms: We stayed during Ramadan, and our room was close to a mosque. The praying could be heard throughout the night. When we talked about this to the GM, they immediately did their best to accomodate us in a new room, which was farther from the mosque and its sound could not be heard. The rooms are clean, and service is twice a day, morning and evenings. Our first room had a semi-open-air bathroom (still very private), which was something we never came across, but enjoyed. Hotel grounds: Hotel grounds are magnificent. Clean cut green grass, sandy beach and sea. The hotel offers free snorkeling equipment, free canoes and also other sea amenities. Staff: The staff were incredible. They really go out of their way to make your stay great. We were on our honeymoon, and they brought a cake for us in the last night, and decorated our room (whilst we were dining) with various 'towel animals'. We were super delighted to see it and could not believe our eyes. Since the hotel has limited rooms, staff knows you on a personal basis, and it really makes you feel more at home. Excursions: We took 2 excursions from the hotel. One was to Gili islands and the other to the waterfalls. Both were a little bit pricey, but we enjoyed both of them. The Gili islands one was exceptionally good..they literally give you a boat to use at your own leisure with your own captain and his helper :) They suggested good snorkeling spots etc. Dining: Since there are no restaurants nearby, we took dinner at the restaurants hotels. Food was really really good, especially the fish, but a little expensive. For our last night, we also had the opportunity to dine on the sand and under the stars, surrounded by candle light. Truly one in a lifetime romantic experience. Conclusion: This was one of the best hotels we have stayed into in our 3 week Bali honeymoon. The 5 star reviews are really well deserved. IF we are ever back to Lombok, we will surely stay there again!!"

Maison Polanka: "Best hotel of our trip!"

"Maison Polanka is an incredible place. On our first evening there, we had a glass of bubbles as we watched the sky slowly turn to dusk and listened to the birds, the cicadas and the nearby monks singing -- total perfection. It was such a treat to be taken care of so well and in such a stunningly beautiful environment. We stayed for five nights in the Khmer house, which was great. Plenty of space, nice amenities, and kept nice and cool by the fans and AC. The staff worked with my husband to plan a fantastic birthday dinner for me, setting up a romantic private dining experience surrounded by candles and even ordering in a special birthday cake. We would recommend Maison Polanka to any traveler who is looking to experience Cambodia in serenity and luxury and in the care of a wonderful staff. Our biggest thanks to Cathy, Julie, Cune, Tuy La, Kong, Da, Som, Osa, Chan, Rithy, Seam, Sam, Sopharin, Thy, Sarin, Sopha, and the rest of the amazing team behind the scenes that make it such a special place."

Sukoon Houseboat: "Perfect luxurious houseboat, great service, food and location"

We booked the suite at the back of the boat which was very quiet. Babu the waiter was fantastic. The food was really great, had the best momos (even in Nepal/Tibet they are soggy and poor quality). The little motor boat to take us to and from the shore was perfect. Definitely take a little Shikara for an hour's boat ride. Take time to relax and enjoy the houseboat though. Good book and some Kashmiri tea, perfect.

Satri House: "Great Hotel"

Satri House in Luang Prabang is a terrific hotel. Colonial architecture and Indochinese furnishings are lovely, and the placement of Buddhist and Hindu statuary throughout the grounds provides serenity. The rooms are spacious, pool is a lovely area, and the restaurant is especially good. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Top notch!

Locavore: "Best in Bali"

Melbourne foodies giving it 4 stars. Fantastic food and service. All I can say is when in Ubud it's the best you'll find. Try it!

The Island Lodge: "Safe Haven"

On arrival, our car dropped us. You have to take a small path to get to the hotel. This lush haven is by the Mekong River. We are greeted with a great "welcome drink". The rooms are beautiful, spacious and decorated tastefully. We are in the midst of lush nature and facing the Mekong. Children have much appreciated the lovely large pool. What happiness!
