4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A Stunning Place to find where your heart belongs to"

Review by: Jerry2528 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Very accidentally and surprisingly came across 4 rivers floating lodge while cruising on Tatai river. Still remembered the feeling when the image of 4 rivers floating lodge came into my eyes, from far to close to the site, not just beautiful,but grateful to have you in this place I think the beauty of the place should be discovered by yourself,It's like for a man, you would enjoy to discover by a layer and layer : ) The most impressive part is always the people, especially the owner of 4 rivers, has been struggled a lot to help local community and kids over there, protecting the environment which makes the trip more meaningful to all the visitors. Tips for visiting 4 Rivers: - Best reason is Between October to April, if lucky enough i mean the weather, you will find a lot of fireflies looks like a Christmas tree and a lot of butterflies you have never ever seen before. - you should bring your binoculars and astronomical telescope, you could see many rare birds and gibbons - The most important FACT need to be aware is about the poor connection of the cellphone, recommend to use Melfone SIM card with better connection but not assure it is always stable. - it's like 5h30mins depart from Phnom penh to 4 rivers, 3hrs from Sihanouk ville to 4 rivers by car. Pick-up arrangement is also available for them."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Indian Paradise"

Review by: Quentin C | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 4 days at neeleshwar hermitage and everything was perfect. The service is amazing with nice and ever smiling staff. The beach restaurant is incredible: picture a few table scattered below coconut trees and looking out on the Indian ocean. Food is fresh, delicate and flavourful. Special mention for the breakfast that combines all the above. Difficult to imagine what could be improved!"

GOLDEN BUDDHA BEACH RESORT: "Easter holida"

Review by: CamDav18 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Our stay at the Golden Buddha Resort was magnificent, truly magical. We knew getting there was going to be a bit of a trek, but it was really worth it. The location by the sea is great, the beach was vast and empty, each tree-house beautifully furnished and our son liked it too (the pool table, the pizzas at the beach-bar and wifi at the clubhouse especially) It's a place to enjoy nature, where you can reflect, breathe and simply live. With a few added bits of luxury the resort had the perfect balance for us. We stayed at Baan Marina which was beautiful, spent most of our days at the resort (close to the beach bar) and the club house in the evening, playing pool, cards or reading after food. The staff were ever so friendly, Massi and Pena were the perfect hosts. If we would recommend anything, it would be good to offer a few alternative dishes in the evening for kids although saying that we thought the chef was really excellent. Breakfast was a treat too! Thanks to everyone at Golden Buddha for the lovely memories, we loved it! "

Nimmu House: "Beautiful hotel with friendly staff"

Review by: Bart v | Source: Trip Advisor
"The best place I have stayed in India in 4 months! The hotel is situated about 40 minutes from Leh and represents the nature of the area very well, while accommodating tourists in pleasant comfort. This means that it is very stylish designed, both modern and authentic. Also the place is surrounded by local people and even cows. The rooms came with all comfort and you can see that the staff puts in some extra effort to make it super comfortable. Food cooked is very special and delicious. There is plenty to discover in the surrounding area."

Yandabo Home: "Delightful stopover"

Review by: sujeanb | Source: Trip Advisor
After an exhausting (but fun!) day, beset by unforeseen delays, we arrived at this fabulous hotel. We were met the wonderful Burmese greeting and immediately felt relaxed and at home. Late as we were, the staff were happy to take us on a fascinating tour of the pottery village, before serving a fabulous dinner on the deck. I was sorry we had only planned one night on our way from Bagan to Mandalay. I could have luxuriated in the superb hospitality and perfectly appointed rooms for one more day.

Rahai’i Pangun: "3D/2N River cruise"

Review by: pfinan1960 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I took a 3D/2N river cruise with Wow Borneo in February 2017. The boat was clean and comfortable. We had the superior cabin, which included a double bed and private bathroom. All the guest cabins were air conditioned. 3 meals a day were served on the main deck. The chef aboard was excellent! We certainly never went away hungry. The crew and guide were excellent. Our guide spoke excellent English, which was a major help since we speak very little Bahasa Indonesia. She was also very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and also the local culture. She had a really sharp eye for spotting animals on the shore as we passed. Of course the main attraction was the chance to see Orangutans. We were not disappointed. We say them every day of the cruise, and at one point saw 6 in one location. There were also numerous monkeys and birds. This was the best tour we have been on in our year in Indonesia. I highly recommend it."

Jing’s Residence: "Incredible service and attention to detail"

Review by: Pete_Epsom | Source: Trip Advisor
Pingyao is amazing and so is Jing's residence…a wonderful experience with great care taken by the management and staff to make it a very personal stay. The converted property is something of a rabbit warren but the the rooms are sumptuous with stunning architecture and interior design. To top it off they food and service were simply superb….the dinner was terrific and the breakfast beat anything we had during 2 weeks in China.

Inle Princess Resort: "Wow! A magical place to stay"

Review by: heidi g | Source: Trip Advisor
"This amazing lakeside hotel was my favourite hotel during our trip to Burma. The tranquil arrival by boat set the scene for a wonderful couple of nights stay. Hibiscus flowers decorated the bed and the towels in the bathroom. I loved the outdoor shower and nice to have the loungers to relax on to watch the sun set over the lake. The restaurant had a nice selection of Asian and European dishes and the wine list featured some local wines that were from a vineyard only a few miles away. A magical place to stay "
