Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Paradise on earth in God’s own country!"

This was our 2nd visit to Neeleshwar Hermitage but this time with our extended family of 15 with the oldest being 79 yrs & the youngest 9 yrs. Neeleshwar has still maintained the high standards it has set for itself. We had the whole resort for ourselves as there was no one else the 1st 2 days. Located on the beach in the Arabian Sea, this resort is an ideal place for a quiet holiday with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & a big thanks to Jayan & his team for making our holiday that much more relaxing. Will definitely come back.

The Governor’s House: "Colonial Beauty"

"This stunning place is full of Art with a personal touch of all the staff. Especially the Reception guy in the morning (sorry i forgot his name) was of great help. Also chant at the bar was always taking care of us with great attention. The Food was outstanding just try the chocolate fondant. Can't wait to return when the outdoor restaurant will open. Great choice can't go wrong here..."

Inle Princess Resort: "Fantastic experience on the lake"

Unlike other hotels on the lake, as your motor boat nears the resort, the motor is stopped and a local rows the boat in using his right thigh! That was definitely a unique experience for us but it also contributed to our resort being quiet and restful. We were greeted warmly and escorted to our private chalet, which had a beautiful living area, a veranda overlooking the lake, a large bathroom with bath tub and an outdoor shower. We definitely felt pampered during our one night at this wonderful resort. The dinner and our buffet breakfast the next morning did not disappoint. Truly a great experience for us

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "For the rest of your life"

"""For the rest of your life"" is quite a claim. We were both frazzled and so it was an easy claim to sign up for. Neeleshwar Hermitage totally delivered. The setting on the edge of the Arabian Sea is pretty special: for miles and miles of sandy beach and the rhythm of the waves wherever you are, enjoying yoga, breakfast at the beach restaurant or the infinity pool that looks out over the sea. The Ayurvedic Spa is where the relaxation really delivers with the spa team providing the best massages and treatments totally restoring mind, body, and spirit which were far from balanced on arrival. Having warm oil gently running on my forehead took me gently into a very deep sleep. The detox package we had opted for prescribed vegetarian food which Is not my usual menu, but the North Kerala recipes mixing spices and herbs were excellent. The whole experience was delivered by a delightful team throughout the resort. Sadly we had to leave after our allotted week and did so in a very different state than when we arrived. ""For the rest of your life"" indeed. "

Reverie Siam: "My three days of heaven"

While visiting my son in Chiangmai he decided to take me to visit Pai, where we stayed in this beautiful hotel. I have been very fortunate to have travelled around many parts of the world, staying in many five star hotels, but this hotel has to be up there with the very best. The rooms were beautifully decorated, clean comfortable beds, too comfortable that I didn't want to wake up! The shower was very hot and powerful, in fact ***** star. The food was excellent, so much so that we ate every meal there. The staff were first class very attentive. This is a hotel away from the buzz where you will find peace and quiet to enjoy style and comfort.

David’s Kitchen: "Amazing food – David has created something truly special in Chiang Mai"

"We were lucky enough to get a table at this amazing restaurant and enjoyed a fabulous meal, and a warm welcome from David who is a legend indeed. The venue is beautiful and spacious, and the menu both extensive and mouth watering. We shared appetizers in order to experience a range, and 3 of us fell for the waygu beef cheek. So meltingly delicious that we went above and beyond ""satisfied"" to well and truly filled to the gills :-) David also recommended our wines and his advice was spot on. Thank you David for making our visit so memorable. Big thanks to Bruce and Rhiannon for an incredible treat!"

Tugu Bali: "The Art, Soul and Romance of Indonesia"

"What really puts this hotel into my ‘most memorable’ category is its ability to deliver an authentic Indonesian experience, steeped in traditional culture whilst maintaining the highest degree of luxury. Nowadays that’s something that most modern hotels on the beautiful island of Bali lack. Hotel Tugu’s calming surroundings provide an incredibly peaceful atmosphere. The building itself and the expansive yet intimate grounds naturally emanate a purposeful sense of romance. It was here I found a somewhat tangible soulful experience. An experience I didn’t know I was truly seeking until I was immersed in it and one that will stay with me long since my return. Hotel Tugu claims to be the Art, Soul and Romance of Indonesia and I for one wholeheartedly agree. The Walter Spies suite was my favourite, an art deco inspired room merged with Balinese themes, complete with plunge pool and private garden. Very private. Worth noting JI at Bale' Sutra 1706' is the onsite restaurant & bar. The contemporary Japanese/Chinese fusion cuisine is a commendable example of fine dining in a casual and yet classy atmosphere. It also hosts a rooftop bar with ocean views and specialized sake bar. There is an extensive choice of fine wine available (usually so hard to find in south-east Asia) and the cocktails are next level goodness."

Misool Eco Resort: "🌴☀️🐟 Рай на земле 🌴☀️🐟"

"Это действительно райское место, земной рай именно там! Отдыхали здесь с мужем и друзьями, первый раз мне не хотелось уезжать домой Отель великолепный, номера - это бунгало на воде, под тобой снуют маленькие акулки и множество прекрасных рыбок. В номере есть все необходимое, холодильник, сейф, кондиционер. Убираются несколько раз в день. Кухня заслуживает особого внимания, завтрак обед и ужин включены в программу. Есть еще второй завтрак и перекус в 5 часов, повар виртуоз, меню за 7 дней нашего пребывания ни разу не повторилось, все очень вкусно и красиво. Блюда приготовлены и оформлены как в хороших ресторанах. Всегда большое количество овощей, для вегетарианцев тоже раздолье. Всегда есть фреши и фрукты в вазе, можно перекусить по дороге на дайвинг:) Между дайвами можно сходить на традиционный массаж, 90 минут релакса и кайфа, мы оттуда выползали совершенно счастливыми:) Подводный мир, наверное, самый красивый в мире. Манты, черепахи, акулы, наполеоны, огромное разнообразие кораллов и губок, величайшее разнообразие мелких и крупных рыбешек, ну очень красиво. Отдых был великолепен, недели оказалось маловато:( Но мы обязательно повторим эту поездку. Огромное спасибо всему персоналу, каждый старался сделать наш отдых прекрасным и незабываемым. Мы вернемся!!! Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

MAISON POLANKA: "Best hotel I’ve stayed at"

My boyfriend and I stayed here for four days and everything - from the food to the service to the rooms - was perfect. The staff works hard to make your experience perfect. The Green Room is beautiful as are the grounds and the pool. I've stayed in several hotels in several countries and this one is by far the best I've stayed at. Every detail is impeccable. The staff also helped us coordinate our tours to the temples and packed picnic breakfasts. Shoutout to our tuk tuk driver Vong - we loved him!

David’s Kitchen: "Fantastic"

This is by far the best dining experience I've ever had. David greets you at the door and visits your table during the dinner experience to make sure everything is well. I took my girlfriend for a date night here and everything went very well. They even presented her with a rose on my behalf at the end of the night! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
