Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Very comfortable and extremely friendly"

Review by: davidgaguinesaul | Source: Trip Advisor
"My godson and I stayed 3 nights here. The bungalows are beautifully designed and cater for ever need. The many windows open onto the backwaters with views of the fields beyond. It is an ecological resort with its own organic vegetable and herb garden and the kitchen is well versed in local dishes and high quality. The menu was very reasonably priced. M As with most resorts in Myanmar, it is not cheap at USD $230 per night. Yet the experience was excellent and the staff were exceptionally helpful, especially Ms. Thant Zin Aye who helped us with every detail, including choosing our menus each night. Breakfast served outside on the terrace is truly lovely. The resort is famous for its Burmese cat sanctuary and is known locally as ""the cat house"". The only downside was the Internet connection which was almost non existent. I would highly recommend this hotel for its unique boutique qualities. Stayed March 2016, traveled with friends"

Tugu Bali: "Cooking class at Hotel Tugu in Canggu"

Review by: Deja K | Source: Trip Advisor
Best cooking class in Canggu! Good value for an excellent experience. I'm actually writing this review on behalf of my parents, who took a private cooking class (but were not guests at the hotel). The hospitality, beautiful setting, instruction and food were all outstanding. They learned the traditional preparation of three Javanese dishes from natural fresh ingredients down to every detail, like making milk from coconut meat. They made beautiful pictures and brought home the leftover food (which we all enjoyed) and the recipes.

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Perfect in every way"

Review by: cmaryg502 | Source: tripadvisor.com
We loved Cabochon Hotel. From our initial dealings over email to our warm welcome on arrival, the staff looked after our family and ensured our stay was stress free. Suites are beautiful and we had a connecting door through to our sons suite which was very helpful. Breakfast was simple but good quality and tasty, beds are comfy and excellent quality bedlinen. A highlight was the swimming pool which was always quiet. We returned for one more night on our way back home and stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment which was even better - light filled and larger balcony. We have nothing to be negative and we think we are pretty fussy.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Beautiful stay! Highly recommend"

Review by: Vicky K | Source: Trip Advisor
My friend and I stayed here for a few nights at the beginning of March. The villas are absolutely stunning with a beautiful pool and lovely dining area on the river. All the staff are polite, friendly and super helpful. Mr Ohm and Ms Atom were always there when we needed them, we especially appreciated the late check in and taxi from the airport organised for us. Room was gorgeous and very clean too! The hotel is right in the heart of old BKK so you can escape the hustle and bustle whilst also being able to see all the temples on your doorstep. This place is a hidden gem, highly recommend for anyone wanting a chilled space in BKK or for couples wanting a romantic getaway!

Chakrabongse Villas: "Like your own private paradisr"

Review by: anniej178 | Source: Trip Advisor
Lengthy layover of 36 hours and this place just provided a welcome break and a place to breathe. I stayed in Mali suite which was beautiful. Bed is very firm . Breakfast was awesome by the river and staff did their utmost to make my stay comfortable. Easy walking distance to flower market, Wat Po which is spectacular by night, and Grand palace . I took a tour with Pandan Tours on the khlongs which provided excellent insight into daily life in Bangkok. A+++

We have been to babe a few times now, and it never fails to impress- Creative and delicious. Food wise, it is Amazing attention to every tiny detail.

David’s Kitchen: "Memorable evening"

Review by: williamb077 | Source: Trip Advisor
Three of us had an exceptional dinner at David's Kitchen where the service was superb, the meals delicious and the evening one which we will long remember. The warm and personal welcome we received from David was the beginning of a wonderful time. The menu was extensive and everything looked so appetizing that we couldn't decide what to choose. But the lamb shank, pork loin and pumpkin soup were done beautifully and served by an attentive, friendly staff. We look forward to going back when we are in Chiang Mai again. Highly recommended indeed.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Silent and luxurious"

Review by: arun8805 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Amazing property.. Lush green and by the beach, endless pool, good spa, luxurious cottages, extra large size rooms, well equipped baths, hammocks beside each cottage, good food and super courteous staff.. Neeleshwar hermitage was as good as it looks in the images.. Since restaurant is only for guests and not open to the public, There are limited food options, but you can pre order what ever you like, and they will prepare it for u.. Food is a Lil expensive, so you can take a package inclusive of all 3 meals! Just 8 kms from the railway station, A cab will charge you rs. 1000 for drop from the station to the resort (which is expensive, but cheaper compared to the rs. 1800 this resort charges) We stayed here overnight.. And thoroughly enjoyed the stay.. Show less"
