Satri House: "Wonderful hotel"
This is wonderful hotel. We very enjoyed our 3 nights stay here. The scenery around the hotel is like in paradise with lovely garden and a swimming pool. The room is huge with traditional decoration and well equipped. Staff is amazing friendly and helpfulInle Princess Resort: "Great location, Great hotel, great people"
Just back from a amazing trip through Myanmar using Myanmar Shalom Travel and this was our last hotel stop. It's an amazing resort in an place Inle Lake. Everything was great and the added feature to this resort is it's just off the edge of the lake where no long boats can use their motors (boats need to paddle in the last 100 yards) so it's also quiet. One of the nicest places we have ever stayed.Nimmu House: "Amazing retreat, fine food and service"
"This incredible property is the perfect place to base a Ladakh itinerary from. We spent our first 4 days there to acclimatize. Tents are very luxurious and were perfect for our family of four. The property has a 'Provence in Ladakh' feel to it. Very European. All staff were wonderful. It felt like we had forged new friendships that will endure. Food is incredibly fresh and was a real highlight for us. The hotel staff helped to make all arrangements for activities - and there's a lot to do in the area!! I really cant recommend this property high enough. It is one of the best that we have stayed in in many years."Slow Villas and Spa: "Everything is perfect here"
On a fairly rustic island, Slow Gili is a modern paradise. Julie the manager was incredibly helpful with talking us through the island and what to see. The rooms are modern, clean and plush. I just wish we had stayed here for longer. Their spa is also fantastic! Highly recommend!Les Maisons d’Itac: "Amazing!"
I've travelled a lot and this is one of THE best places I've ever stayed. It's truly beautiful and the staff are so friendly and helpful, and particularly Brian. We stayed in the bamboo hut, it's stunning and romantic. The grounds are peaceful and tranquil and are a little piece of paradise. They have gorgeous dogs that make you feel at home. A couple of downsides was we found the food a little repetitive so opted to eat out in the evening and you are a 30 min drive to Moalboal. However it's totally worth the effort, we were diving every day so we went in each day and the driver was reliable and on time and it was cost effective. I love this place and will be back. Highly recommendSatri House: "Un havre de paix"
"Arrived for 4 days in Luang Prabang we stayed 3 nights at Satri House. This hotel in the colonial charm only deserves compliments. A very original architecture with large rooms decorated former local objects. You feel more in a big mansion than in a traditional hotel. Our room was spacious, very clean, wooden floors and a large balcony. Very quiet, a nice staff and very caring. The breakfast (Western or Lao) was plentiful and very fresh. 2 swimming pools (a bit small) but with a large green space surrounded by large tropical trees to relax. You can borrow bikes for walking and / or go into town. Would recommend without reservation! "Tugu Bali: "Hidden gem"
Absolutely beautiful property full of Balinese culture and Indonesian history; you could spend a day itself properly exploring, learning about, and enjoying the hotel itself. Staff were impeccable and went out of their way to meet my very need; super friendly. Easy walk (less than 2min) to the beach where there are excellent waves for surfing right there at Batu Bolong beach (with other excellent breaks nearby). Plenty of excellent and hipster restaurant/Cafe options; Canggu way more laid back and less chaotic than Kuta or Seminyak. Can sometimes be noisy at night given proximity to the some of the most happening bars in Canggu, but if you’re looking for intimate luxury in a super-cool part of Bali, Tugu is your place. Rooftop bar had outstanding views, where I also ate my breakfast every morning to watch surfers catch the morning swell. While I came solo, I would bring my family back here in a heartbeat. Thanks Tugu!Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Cocoones dans un endroit delicieux"
"Formidable, de grands bungalows décorés avec charme, un petit déjeuner raffiné dans le soleil levant, une excellente cuisine avec un choix exceptionnel et à prix très doux (15 €/personne pour un repas complet) et des produits bio. Et des attentions de chaque instant : le soir non seulement on vous installé la moustiquaire mais vous trouvez aussi votre bouillotte et une rose sur votre oreiller...fruits fais tous les jours et la veille de votre départ, on vous offre un cadeau ! J'ai oublié de vous dure que c'est d'abord une école d'hôtellerie...parfois quelques imperfections mais une telle gentillesse, volonté de bien faire et bienveillance de chaque instant que l'on pardonne tout ! La fondation qui gère ce lieu d'exception travaille aussi et surtout à la préservation du lac et des traditions. En y séjournant vous faites donc une bonne action. Le seul désagrément, le bruit des bateaux qui circulent de manière incessante et ce désagrément est à mettre en perspective du développement du pays... trop de produits bas de gamme, trop de pollution, un développement très anarchique. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Babe: "Great food and Ambience"
"It was a pre-birthday celebration from a good friend and I am so glad that I finally got to try the food at Babe. The highlight of the meal are the special chawanmushi, oyster with egg, Marble score 9 Wagyu and of course my surprised dessert. The ambience, food and service made my day. Kudos to the team."Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Characterful boutique hotel"
"When staying in Georgetown you are probably wanting to be immersed in the colonial character of the place, so staying in a beautiful restored mansion with a fascinating history is a logical and excellent choice - one that we did not regret in the slightest. Nor was it particularly expensive compared with other hotel options We enjoyed learning the history by joining the guided tour (free for guests) and were able to admire the décor and feel of the place both at breakfast time and in the lounging area outside the rooms. Our room was in some ways relatively basic but perfectly adequate and again had character. The service was friendly and helpful. The hotel location is good - on the edge of the heritage area and near to an excellent food court dining and entertainment complex. Breakfast selection also good with small buffet and also a la carte choices including some unusual ones such as green tea pancakes. No juices on the buffet but they brought us some freshly squeezed on request. No hesitation to recommend."Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
