Villa Mathis: "Fantastic stay in a little piece of paradise"

Review by: Eatpray | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed in La Villa Mathis for three days and enjoyed every bit of it. Me and my travel companion tremendously enjoyed the quiet ambience of the villa and the villa manager Christian was extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. The villas have several swimming pools secluded from one to another and we felt like it is reserved specially for us! What a treat! The villa is located quite near with Seminyak strip and the villa staffs will assist you in arranging the transportation. The room was designed in a very thoughtful details and we felt like we can really switch off and rejuvenate in this place. Overall it is an absolutely amazing stay and we definitely will come back to Villa Mathis!"

The Village House: "Fantastic place to unwind"

Review by: neonblue3612 | Source: Trip Advisor
"A beautiful little hotel about 40 minutes out of Kuching centre. The room was great, the 4 post bed was comfy( and squeaky!) The air con was a great relief. The bathroom was clean and the linen was fluffy. The staff were very attentive and friendly. On site they have a kitchen you can order reasonably priced food and there is a bar that is also well priced. I really enjoyed the food but I didn't trying any western dishes other than a sandwich. When we left for our red-eye flight the staff gave us sandwiches for the trip. There are some deck chairs around the pool that are shaded and the pool is clean, warm and adds to the overall relaxing vibe. There's beautiful gardens too. The ponds and fountains also added to the relaxing nature. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to unwind and relax. They also run trips from the hotel to all the major touristy bits and they can book taxis and airport transfers."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Superb location, lovely property but terrible access"

Review by: Powerbyte | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is not your usual hotel experience. This is different - not in Darjeeling but about 45min drive from Darjeeling, boutique hotel in a tea garden estate, handful of rooms with mostly foreigners as guests, different cuisine and a unique experience. It is not cheap though but if you want different experience then you need to come here. The only problem is access road that leads you to here. Final stretch of 30min is simply horrible as road is unpaved and full of uneven ride. Your vehicle will not be able to go beyond 10-15kmph. No wonder, all Glenburn package include two way transportation in their own vehicle. You have an option to spend a night in log cabin down the hill next to river Rangit. Fully equipped log cabin offers all basic comforts with hospitality from Glenburn that includes welcome drink, tea/coffee snacks, campfire & barbeque dinner all done by their team for you to relax and enjoy. Next day morning you can hike and go to village Majhitar and come back. River Rangit divides West Bengal and Sikkim. The hike from Glenburn to loghouse and to Majhitar (which is Sikkim) can be about 12kms but it's a fun walk fully escorted by their team. The only negative point is wifi internet access is weak and unsteady. This needs to be addressed by Genburn team though. We welcomed that rooms do not have even TV but communication via social media is a necessity today."

Reverie Siam: "Excellent Resort in Pai"

Review by: Att V | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a great time staying at this resort. We really do appreciate all the attention to details as well as all the special care that we had received from the staffs and management throughout our stay. Foods at the restaurant were very nice from breakfast dishes to lunch and dinners. We were lucky enough to be able to meet with the young owner. We can tell that he really love what he is doing. He put a lot of effort and his heart on this property. All the very best to the owner and staffs. Thank you ver much for a great stay. We will definitely come back to stay with you again. "

"We stayed only 1 night with friends in suite tents. The place is really what you can see on the website. Just fantastic, no insects, clean place, good food, nice deep private pool not too cold. Will come back when in Bali again "

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "One of the best"

Review by: Therlmt | Source: Trip Advisor
With a wonderful lake view and amazing ambience, this restaurant is worth a visit, even though it may be slightly out of the way. The food is delicious, with lunch sets that are of good value. The service is impeccable, as with people in Myanmar in general. Make a reservations for choice seats. Alternatively, go in the evening for seats near the lake. (It seems too hot in the afternoon when I was there.) I loved the classy decor, with their handmade pottery dining ware!

Maison Polanka: "Make the Most of Cambodia"

Review by: Hugtheplanet | Source: Trip Advisor
Fantastic accommodations in the heart of Seam Reap. Quaint, quite boutique hotel that catered to our every need including creating an itinerary to maximize our 3 days exploring the city. In addition to fantastic food, they have a wonderful, helpful staff that coordinated tour guides and set up a special tour of the Diamond Silk weaving farm. A must! The pool was the perfect refresher after hot temple tours!

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Serene getaway with amazing massages, food,hospitality and spaces"

Review by: elina21 | Source: Trip Advisor
Hi, We spent a weekend at Neeleshwar and we intend to go back. The rooms are well appointed and spacious, the staff was very gracious and genuinely interested in you. The ayurvedic massages are a "must do". The infinity pool and lagoon ride also add to all the gorgeousness of it all. The menu changes everyday. Ideal for people who are stressed our and need a pick-me-up. The beach is pristine and quiet. Fishing trawlers pass by in the distance when you have breakfast. Highly recommend, especially for women travelers .

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful historic hotel"

Review by: Leo B | Source: Trip Advisor
The hotel has been impressively restored with great attention to detail filled with character. Our room (The Mandarin) was spacious, very clean and airy with a large luxurious bathroom. We enjoyed having breakfast in the open courtyard surrounded by green plants and antiques. The children loved the pool. This place was perfect for our young family. We would definitely love to return!

Tugu Lombok: "WOW"

Review by: Patsy S | Source: Trip Advisor
From the moment we stepped out of the cab my mouth dropped! Tradition, yes and then some! Massive, manicured grounds, Infinity Pools everywhere, your eyes feast from one marvel to another! The staff couldn't be friendlier and more accommodating, they all knew my grandchildren's name in one day! If you wanted to have privacy the grounds are so massive you could have a secluded vacation here! Totally restful and awesome time here.
