I went for a walk alone and felt quite comfortable. My husband and I walked to a restaurant for lunch. We also could walk to dinner one night very convenient location. I can't say enough about the staff, always smiling! I would stay here again.

MesaStila: "Food for soul"

Review by: Anselmus L | Source: Trip Advisor
Kami berkunjung di bulan Januari tahun ini (2017) dan merasakan pengalaman yang amat menyenangkan dengan ketenangan dan keindahan resort ini. Keramahan dan kesigapan staf terasa tulus dan menyenangkan. Makanan yang tersedia juga enak dan sehat. Semua aktivitas diselenggarakan dengan baik meskipun tamu saat itu hanya kami sekeluarga. Kami mendapatkan villa dengan pemandangan 3 gunung yang menjadi pemandangan indah sepanjang tinggal di resor ini.

The Island Lodge: "Perfect Mekong retreat"

Review by: Alex L | Source: Trip Advisor
I spent one great night here on the banks of the impressive Mekong river. On arrival,as a business group, we were given a fantastic, warm welcome, inclusive refreshing towel and a wonderful "fruit cocktail" and tea. Check in was smooth and incredibly friendly. Michel and his Wife were on hand as part of the welcoming party. I had a very comfortable (the bed and the pillows were a perfect match for an excellent sleep) room overlooking the river. Pity we did not have our evening meal at the hotel restaurant since we had an outside appointment arranged. However, next morning I had a delightful breakfast, in the very pleasant restaurant surroundings. My hat off to the staff who created and added value to the short but memorable one nighter. If you are looking for something special on the Mekong this is highly recommended. Enjoy the Island Lodge!

Tugu Malang: "Wonderful stay in a slightly eccentric hotel."

Review by: ozone_warrior | Source: tripadvisor.com
"What an experience!! This hotel was perfect, get the best room you can afford - it is so worth it. The hotel is an attraction in its own right, make sure you take the tour to see the VIP suites and function rooms., the bizarre collection of furniture and nick nacks courtesy of the owners. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and all of the trips we took originated from their suggestions and with their help. The piece de resistance is the full day tour to Mt Bromo with waterfall included, organised and accompanied by front desk staff (amazing). Malang itself is a wonderful indonesian city with first rate coffee shops, a great bird market and some lovely streets to walk down. PS(the free afternoon tea is a must)"

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A beautiful and serene resort for peace- and nature-loving travelers"

Review by: Tay L | Source: Trip Advisor
"We just returned from a 4-nights stay at the beautiful Rice & Zen resort in Doi Saket district, which is no more than 30km away from the Chiang Mai international airport. Our host, Michael, who is also a resident on the resort is very welcoming and warm. We could see that he runs this resort with great passion and drive. The property is extremely lovely. We booked the entire property for our family of 4, and we practically had the entire place to ourselves! The rooms were clean daily and well maintained, with the usual amenities expected of any upmarket resort. The only swimming pool on the resort is cleaned every morning and it feels so good to be able to dip into the pool to beat the tropical heat. And if swimming is not your cup of tea, there's always the gym and beautifully manicured garden and ponds to keep you occupied. Delicious meals are prepared and served by Maya, the resident chef. And if you're into Thai cuisine, the food is no less than scrumptious than what you can find in the restaurants. Michael and his staff will be most happy to recommend other restaurants in the vicinity should you want to venture out to try other fares. Trips to Chiang Mai city can also be arranged for a small transportation fee. Overall, we had a most pleasant and relaxing stay and we highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan city life."

The Cabochon Hotel: "Romance of the past"

Review by: Taylor H | Source: Trip Advisor
I found Cabochon Hotel on TripAdvisor and was pleasantly surprised. The staff and hotel are reminiscent of what luxury travel was like many, many years ago. The staff was warm and accommodating, the décor was filled with time period furniture and antiques, and our room was generously spacious. Centrally located off Sukhumvit, the hotel is a perfect balance of location contrasted with separation from the busy city of Bangkok.

NEELESHWAR HERMITAGE: "Chill-out excellence!"

Review by: Tinker561 | Source: tripadvisor.com
This was the last venue of a bespoke tour organised by Trailfinders and it was an excellent way to finish a memorable 10 days in Kerala. We stayed 2 days, but 5 would be infinitely preferable! There are two retaurants, one upmarket indoor with a wide menu, but we favoured the beach restaurant, for breakfast and evening meals, specialising in fish and, for our last meal, lobster - fantastic! The service could not be bettered and, even for our short stay, staff recognised and greeted us regularly. We flew from Calicut airport, via Abu Dhaby to UK but its a long drive there. There is a smaller much nearer airport at Mangalore which might be worth looking at. This is a super venue for chilling out with its infinity pool.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Peaceful stay in the middle of the rice fields"

Review by: Zzzabou | Source: Trip Advisor
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sanak Retreat. The villas two bedrooms are comfortable in the middle of the rice fields. The food is excellent, the spa is amazing and the staff is friendly. I recommend a trek of 3 hours to the Banuatis waterfalls.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "<3"

Review by: tenithchan999 | Source: Trip Advisor
A few days before the trip, I happened to feel insecure about the trip. Because it was my first time to go such an adventurous place without my family members. As the day came, i still joined with my friends. My first impression about the hotel was the "Security" that they gave to me. I was actually over thinking about how dangerous it was to visit a place located in the middle of the river surrounded by the forest. But I felt relieved as they did everything they could to have my trust. My second impression was the interaction between the people and the environment. It was so refreshing and beautiful. That's how the nature is supposed to be like. My third impression would be the hotel, 4 Rivers Floating Lodge itself. It was incredibly amazing how the products that were placed in the hotel were actually could be decomposed and not going to effect the environment. The facilities that we needed in our daily life were placed in the hotel too even though it's on the river. I felt so safe and secure because they provided materials that could save us in some cases. The people were so nice and polite. The foods was great in every meals and the transportation was good too. I've learned something new there. I hope to visit that place again <3
