David’s Kitchen: "Wonderful restaurant!"

"My mom and I recently travelled to Chiangmai and had a wonderful meal at David's Kitchen! Everything was delicious but the pumpkin soup was amazing and a must try!! The owners and staff could not have been nicer. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Chiangmai. Also a wonderful addition to our experience which made getting to the restaurant so easy was a pickup service (at an additional cost) to and from our hotel. Made getting to the restaurant so easy!"

Tugu Malang: "prachtig hotel in koloniale stijl"

"mooie schone luxe kamers aan een vijver. Ontbijt heerlijk en uitgebreid. Theetijd moet je zeker meemaken; koekjes en dawet waren erg lekker. Hotel ligt in het centrum aan een groot plein. Fietstocht met John was een succes vooral het gekleurde dorpje aan de rivier Brantas sungei. Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam Alle ruimtes waren smaakvol ingericht en een aanrader voor iedereen."

Labyrinth: "Substantial improvement and deserving of a star"

This is our second visit and our 125th starred fine dining restaurant. The innovation of the food, presentation and quantity has improved(you now get an umbrella with the crab!) and it is truly deserving of it's star

Rachamankha: "A true oasis in the old city"

"A beautiful hotel, going into the hotel grounds means truly leaving the city behind, in a lot of ways it is a world of its own, so peaceful. The pool is wonderful, pictures don't do it justice. The staff are so friendly and provide excellent service. Breakfast was amazing. We had diner at the restaurant one night (we did want to experience something of the outside Chiang Mia on the other nights!) and it was wonderful and excellent value for a restaurant of this quality. I would definitely be wanting to say here again if we get back to Chiang Mia. At first we found it difficult to find our way walking to central Chiang Mia given the entrance is off what seems like a series of lanes. We found the best was to walk across one road and into what is the back entrance of the largest temple in Chiang Mia. Walking through the temple grounds and out the front entrance helped get our bearings for the location of the hotel. The hotel is a fair way from the night markets (about a 30~40 minute walk) although transport is cheap and easy to find if you don't want to walk, of course the hotel can book a taxi, or go the front of the temple or out to the cannel to find a way tuk tuk."

Villa Mathis: "A Trip to Paradise’"

What a fantastic holiday with my Mother and two sisters!! Fred and Fifi where the ultimate managers, dropping by for a chat each day. You don't get that at the big hotels! The staff where brilliant, and the rooms and gardens fabulous in this secret, private, quite boutique hotel. The Bali 'feel' was everywhere, with its beautiful architecture. Perfect for a romantic getaway or like us, a family get together.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Perfect tranquility"

"We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful, peaceful resort. It is perfect relaxation. The room was huge and perfectly secluded in the lush tropical grounds with plants strategically placed to ensure maximum privacy. The bed was super comfortable, there was TV, mini bar, tea + coffee and lovely open air (but very private) bathroom. Well serviced daily with clean towels etc. The swimming pool was beautiful and not crowded, really quiet and relaxing in a natural setting. Pool towels are provided every day, you just pick them up from a basket by the side of the pool. There is also a large carp pond next to the pool, the carp put a real show at times leaping about. Quite entertaining if you get bored of watching the amazing sunsets. The food was excellent with a good choice of both local and Western, although you may find the menu a bit limited if you are there for a long stay. The Kampot Pepper ice cream is delicious! Breakfast is a la carte, there was no problem or extra charge for ordering more than one dish. All the staff were wonderful, really helpful and friendly. If you want to sit up late drinking and partying, or need to have nightly entertainment laid on, this is not the place for you. It is a beautiful, relaxing resort for a total de-stress. The peaceful town of Kep (which has a beautiful sandy beach perfectfor swimming) is just a short trip away via tuk tuk, which the hotel will book for you."

Satri House: "A treasure"

We stayed at the Satri House for 4 nights. It is a former royal residence and one can experience the elegance of the former time. The hotel was recently renovated while in keeping with this charm. Our room was large and well-appointed - the rooms spread out among the beautiful grounds. The overall atmosphere is calming with a lovely dining area and reception rooms . The staff are very helpful and courteous. They genuinely want to be sure that you enjoy your stay.

The Island Lodge: "Fabulous"

Stayed for 3 nights. Beautiful relaxing place to stay. Service excellent and very attentive. Would highly recommend. Good value. More 5 star than three. Arranged transfers direct with them. All worked very well.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Surpassed all safari expectations"

My Mom and I stayed in a tent and went for 4 drives (two early morning and two afternoon). Everything was incredible! The camp is set-up just outside the back entrance of Yala National park, which meant that there were less people (and jeeps). The camp itself is beautiful and we saw fantastic wildlife on the drive to the camp gates. Our field guide (Saj) was fantastic. He has a natural science degree and trained at the safaris in Africa. He knows everything about the animals including the birds. My Mom is a #birder, and with Saj's guiding, we saw 100 #birds We had 5 #leopard sightings, many of which were at very close range. One leopard walked right beside our jeep and paused to make eye contact. We saw numerous #elephants as well including #tuskers The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I am #celiac and need to eat #GlutenFree and #DairyFree This was absolutely no problem. I did a lot of research in choosing this safari and have no regrets. It really was spectacular! Request Saj as your field guide.
