Babe: "Food with a view"

This place is food divinity! The waiter offered me for trying the lamb chop. Uhmmm no words required, the lamb was very tasty!!! So juicy and tender. This place serves Japanese tapas with a mix of western Japanese. The food prepared here was something I had not seen elsewhere and was delicious. The staffs are very nice and the seafood are very fresh as some of their ingredients are flown in from Japan. I love the atmosphere where you dine next to the swimming pool. The dim lights, the seats and the magnificent view gives thus place two thumbs up.

Villa Mathis: "La Villa Mathis de mes rèves"

"Tous simplement sublime. Nous avons passé un séjour en amoureux que nous n'oublierons jamais. Dès la prise en charge à l'hôtel nous avons été plongé dans une atmosphère de ""zenitude"" et de beauté. L'équipe francophone est au petit soin et n'a de souci que notre bien être. La cuisine (du chef made in France) est parfaite. Que dire de la propriété... allez y, vous serez charmé par l'originalité des lieux, c'est indescriptible tant il y a de sensations fortes. Je n'oublie pas les guides francophones aussi qui nous ont fait découvrir la magie de l'ile et de sa culture locale. Et tout cela sans se ruiner. Merci encore et joyeuses fête de fin d'année. Jean-François et Marjorie."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Perfect Koh Samui Family Trip"

"Wonderful unpretentious small resort, nicely embedded in lots of plants and palm trees. You will be greeted with a very warm welcome and personalized service. They will do all their best to make your vacation special. Food menu is really huge for a small resort and small restaurant, but they surprised me with great quality fresh thai and european dishes. And we are certainly not the least picky regarding food quality. On the menu you will find great thai kitchen to lobster or wagyu burger. For our kids we made sometimes special requests which were all handled perfectly. Some vegetables/herbs etc are organically grown in their garden. Even if you don't stay in the resort, be sure to visit the restaurant. Cocktails are of great quality, lots of gins with fever tree tonic are available. We also did a cooking class with Toy, their chef, and were grateful for the time and effort she put into explaining all the details of thai cooking. The cooking took place outside with a view onto the pool and beach, which was a nice detail! Our two bedroom pool villa had all required amenities and was very clean and decorated with love. There is also a spa, but in the end we didn't have time to try it out. Airport transfers were organized by the resort and were perfectly on time with luggage service etc. If you don't need a huge and maybe crowded resort like the W, Four Season, but prefer a more authentic familiar service, this is the place to go. In the end I can only highly recommend the resort. We will certainly go back one day! Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Cheong"

Boutique hotels are always on our route when exploring new territories, as they offer a unique experience of the local culture. CHEONG FATT TZE MANSION is no exception. Legendary in the annals of Penang Island, Malaysia, “La maison Bleue” (the blue mansion) stands graciously in the middle of the cultural center of UNESCO world heritage site of George Town for over 135 years. We recommend to anyone visiting this are to look no further and book a few night at CHEONG FATT TZE. You will be leaving with some enchanting stories of the past and delicious food in your bellies, while having experience the relaxing and elegance of this very beautiful hotel.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Fantasic"

"We had tried Tamarind a few yards along the road but they were fully booked so we walked on and found this place which seemed better. Took a great table on the terrace, plenty of room and overlooking the Mekong, couldn't have bee better! We enjoyed a really fabulous meal, plenty to eat and drink with the most sublime dessert. Two beer Lao, one vodka tonic, Khan Soy, Fried Mushrooms, Fish Cak, Tapioca, green veg for 363,000. Totally awesome with great service. Stayed December 2016, traveled with family"

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Amazing food and service"

The chef was amazing, very personable and greeted all his guests. The food was amazing and we tried both menus. I have to follow a gluten free diet and the chef made sure that some elements were changed for me. However, saying that there was very little on the menu I couldn't eat. Very fresh tasting food and good value. The service was amazing and we had a very relaxed meal. Will definitely be visiting again,

Tugu Malang: "Wonderful hotel!"

This was our favourite hotel in Java. Not only are the staff helpful and friendly and the food is wonderful, it is a museum. The 'exhibits' are in every room, including the room we stayed in. The collection is amazing. It was a very special experience. It is in an old Dutch colonial villa which has been built on to in order to house the owners collection. The room was large and comfortable, the bathroom quirky. I always appreciate the flowers and welcome drink. we can highly recommend this hotel and wish we had had the time to stay longer.

The Island Lodge: "a very gracious , relaxing & peaceful… Francois had the loveliest of smiles"

"A very gracious, relaxing & peaceful place in My Tho Mekong. Francios had the loveliest of smile that radiated pure happiness. the staff had very good manners and were genteel.cheers Luci you could see the Mekong, setting sun and did not have to walk 1km to rooms. warmth and hospitality radiated through out the place."

Villa Mathis: "Excellent"

Accueil, service, propreté, rien à dire sinon que tout est parfait, le restaurant est digne d'un 3 étoiles aux normes française. De plus, cet etablisement est géré par un français ce qui facilite le dialogue et les conseils sur les visites à réaliser sont d'autant plus appréciables. Nous conseillons cet etablisement aux charmes hors du commun. Attention toutefois si vous avez des enfants jeunes. Le nombre de points d'eau, piscines, ruisseaux font de cet établissement un endroit où 'il ne faut pas laisser vos enfants sans surveillances.
