David’s Kitchen: "Fabulous restaurant experience!"

"On a cold day in England I heard on the radio in London last year that a restaurant in Chiang Mai had made it to the top 10 list of best restaurants in the whole world. As we'd already made plans to visit Chiang Mai on our forthcoming holiday to Thailand it seemed a very good idea to visit Davids Kitchen. What we didn't know then but know now, is that David's Kitchen isn't just about fine dining but was a fabulous experience. From the minute we walked in to the beautiful new building we were made to feel really welcome. David came to talk to us and was a really charming man who we could have gossiped with for hours! Once seated at a table which already had our names on, the staff were very attentive and helpful, the maitre'd making suggestions and even arranging for us to share some of the set menu so we could both try the delicious pumpkin soup. The beef bourginion was out of this world as was all the food, wine and cocktails. We felt very much at home there even though we'd never been there before. David and his lovely wife Prom along with their amazing chef Mr O have ensured that their restaurant isn't just a 5* experience but is real class. We will definately be back!!"

Satri House: "Wonderful staff and lovely property"

"My wife, infant daughter and I stayed at the property for 5 nights. On our check in, we were greeted warmly by Julie and her team and were brought on a quick tour of the property. I think we were kinda impatient then because the property was so beautiful and we wanted to quickly go explore. Even in me and my daughter's impatience to go play with the wooden rocking horse, Julie was so very patient and kind. We booked the junior suite which was really generous in size, and absolutely lovely in style. The room was spacious, clean, and very well appointed. our first nights dinner was really really good. So good that we thought.... hey.. Why don't people eat more Laotian food!? But as the days passed and we had a selection of good and ok restaurants.. we realized that no, the Laotian selection and food in Satri house just tasted better, and was better curated. The breakfast was insanely generous and tasted amazing. I am going to miss that so much. What I will really miss is the wonderful wait staff in the restaurant. Every single one of them was attentive, kind, and generous in patience. They made my very naughty daughter feel loved and entertained every time we dined there, so much so that breakfast was a ritual that we couldn't miss, and we were constantly considering only eating at satri restaurant. It was so funny because in the mornings, when we walk into the restaurant, a gaggle of activity buzzes around ensuring that my daughter was happy, comfortable and well fed. Never have I been to a restaurant that has made me and my family feel so welcomed. I will miss having breakfast at satri house, and I truly felt sad leaving. The housekeeping team was also amazing. We had a minor run in on day 2 with a poor job done that we felt we had to call in to speak with the housekeeping supervisor. But thereafter, they picked up the ante and made sure our room was tip top every afternoon and evening we got back. I love the idea that we could freely use the bikes to get around the city, the morning rides to watch the sunrise and alms giving is so refreshing. The only drawback would be that the property is located close to many party loving neighbors. Of the 5 nights we were there, there were 3 unique parties. The one we encountered on our last day was so frightfully loud we stayed indoors all morning with the windows shut. The other 2 were quite bearable. But this of course, is no fault of the perfect team at satri house. By the looks of the reviews.. this is pretty hit and miss. I can imagine it being worse closer to the center of Luang Prabang. Laotians seem to love to partaaayy. "

Supanniga Cruise: "Stunning Views and Great Food"

"For our last night in Bangkok we had dinner on the Supanniga. It was one of the best nights in Bangkok, really attentive staff, amazing food, one of the best meals we had, and awesome views. I have seen some of the cheaper versions of the dinner cruise, and would definitely pay the extra for a better experience. I would definitely recommend"

Reverie Siam: "can’t imagine a more relaxed place"

I cannot imagine a mote relaxed place than reverie Siam resort in pai. we stayed in the villa and it's beautiful, just as the gardens and the restaurant area. it's not very far from pai city centre. the driver will bring you everywhere for free. not the cheapest in town but by far the most beautiful and relaxed!

Pindaya Farm House: "Fantastic"

It was our last day in Myanmar just before flying to Yangoon and back home. It was exactly the place we were looking for after visiting and staying at different hotels around Myanmar. The location and the big hut are magical, look and feel as if inside a legend. The warm hospitality and the great food made us feel at home. unfortunately we stayed there 1 night only. Could stay there for a week.

MesaStila: "Amazing Place !"

"I was hesitant as the location is rather far from our base of stay in Yogya but saw the review and decided to try it. I was so glad I did, it’s such as unique and amazing place. Nestled in the middle if coffee plantation and surrounded by 8 mountains. In the morning we walked around the surrounding villages and feel so peaceful, the people are extraordinarily friendly and we feel at home. It’s not cheap at all but the stay was well worth it, I wished I stayed more than 1 night. Will return and stay longer God willing. Uploaded pictures that will say more words than I could write."

Satri House: "Just wonderful and charming"

"Excellent in every way! Top in quality of the rooms decorated with local and colonial furniture, the staff is helpful, the spa was really agreeable, the restaurant is top even if the staff is still lacking a bit of experience in the way of taking orders. For sure, this will be the place I will go back to next time I am in Luang Prabang."

Villa Song Saigon: "Refined Classical Quality"

This is a beautiful relaxed elegant property with excellent happy staff who are eager to please. Yega and his staff will make your dining and excursions seamless and we can't wait to return again and enjoy this haven of oriental tranquility

Talabgaon Castle Heritage Resort: "Beautifull interesting hotel."

"We only spent one night at the hotel, but I wish we had spent more time here. We arrived in the evening and had dinner by the pool, it was wonderful. The room was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved the nearby village, a step back in time. Highly recommended !"

Samanea Beach Resort: "“Stunning location – pontoon into the sea a great plus”"

"We were only there for one night, but it's a spectacular location - 12 nicely designed bungalows in a green park where you can't see or hear your neighbors. There were two Khmer families shooting their wedding albums - which gives you some idea of how nice it was - and with a 25 mètre pool you don't need to do into the sea - but there is a 59 mètre or so pier which takes you over the initial mud and far enough out that the sea is easy to swim in Food was excellent - although slightly bizarrely they had no fish or crabs. Extremely Eco friendly, and very nice staff Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"
