Labyrinth: "Substantial improvement and deserving of a star"

This is our second visit and our 125th starred fine dining restaurant. The innovation of the food, presentation and quantity has improved(you now get an umbrella with the crab!) and it is truly deserving of it's star

MesaStila: "It surpasses all expectations for all of us"

"I heard about how good Mesastila is since their name was still Losari. I have been dreaming to come here for a very long time and finally my wish do come true and every single one in our group were so impressed by Mesastila's grace and charm. 22 hectars of land divided into two areas. Each 11 hectares. One area for coffee plantation and the other for only 23 villas. If full booked, this giant space is only want to accommodate 60 guests !!!! Now that is LUXURY ! The more you know about this place the more you will feel your money is well spent. The view is also absolutely beautiful ... Bring your whole family here and just let Mesastila take care of you."

Sea Dance Resort: "More incredible than the pictures depict, Should be a 5 start resort!!"

This hotel was AMAZING! After staying in other "4 star" resorts on various islands and arriving to properties that did not come close to our expectations, we weren't expecting anything to write home about. Needless to say we were more than pleasantly surprised with the quality of this resort. The bathrooms are GORGEOUS, facilities are clean, and the pool was luxurious and beautiful. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, they even brought us complimentary boozy popsicles while we lounged by the pool! If you want to stay somewhere that is far enough from the town that you can experience a hidden oasis, yet easily access the town for dinner/shopping/etc. with a $4 taxi ride, then this is the perfect place for you.

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent!!"

So good that we have to come back. Tasteful French cuisine with a stronger flavor than most. Relax atmosphere. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Jings Residence: "An oasis of Calm in Pingyao"

Lonely planet says Pingyao is perfect. Well, Jing's Residence is the perfect place to stay in the perfect walled city. The service is exceptional. They anticipate your every need without being intrusive. Right from the moment you are collected at the airport with snacks to a concierge who helps you plan the perfect activities for your stay... the service is impeccable. The restaurant is outstanding; you'll want to have every meal here! We're foodies and really didn't want to go anywhere else which says a lot for people who normally like to explore local restaurants. The hotel is part of Relais & Chateau and Secret Retreats. Based on our experience here we'll look for other hotels in Asia which are part of these 'brands'. Go! You will love it!

The Governor’s House: "Beautiful unique decoration"

We spent 2 nights there and the decoration and service of the hotel was unique and very helpful. Also the food was very good and tasty, we highly recomend the duck. If one time we get back to Pnom Penh, we will definelty stay there again with no doubt,

Rahai’i Pangun: "Absolutely fantastic!"

"We took the two night cruise to see the orangutans and visit the local Dayak river villages. Wow Borneo responded promptly to every question we had. Making reservations was very simple. Top deck of the boat allows a lot of space to walk about and to sit in comfortable deck chairs to enjoy the river cruise. The dining area was at the back on the top deck as well. They have a great cook who prepared wonderful, tasty, local foods. I would say it’s some of the best food we’ve had in the two years we’ve lived in Indonesia. The rooms were basic and the bed was very comfortable. We splurged on a room with air conditioning, which was well worth the added cost after an active hot day in Borneo. While there is no hot water for the showers, that’s not a real problem given that the water temperature was about 28 to 32 Celsius…It felt good to cool off a bit. The visits to the Dayak villages were enjoyable. We took motorized canoes up the tributaries to access the villages, which added to the adventure. The villagers were very welcoming and you could tell that they were proud of their communities. They had a local group of dancers and performers come right onto the ship in the afternoon. They were very proud of the dances that they performed. In fact, there are spirited competitions that the local community group had won several times. They were all wonderful. The orangutans were a blast! We went to the orangutan rehabilitation center to learn about their initiative to return orangutans back into the wild. We took small motorized canoes up the tributaries to access the islands that the orangutans live on. They would come down by the river to watch us as we passed by. It was amazing to watch them as they would swing through the trees. Truly amazing creatures. It was nice to get away from Jakarta to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this still wild area of Indonesia. It was great to stand out on the deck at night and watch all the stars. Ah, and what beautiful sunsets! We had several hours between when the cruise ended and when our flight departed. We asked the crew if they could recommend places to visit in Palangkaraya. They called ahead to their friends and relatives and spontaneously made arrangements to tour the city for a nominal fee. They brought us to the old part of the city, which was fascinating to walk through. This trip was great value for the money. It was an incredible memorable experience. One of the highlights of our stay in Indonesia."

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "First Impression"

"I feel like Fall in love in this Hotel . Hospitality service welcome and comfort start from guard,reservation and functions work at there. Room so nice and adorable as synchronize decor like a home. I will back there again soon. Thanks"

The Hue House: "Amazing food!"

"The hue house is absolutely amazing restaurant! It is hard to find as it is located on the 10th floor of the bussiness buildig/ hotel and has no advertisement leading you to the restaurant. Due to this, the place is still undiscovered from tourists and there are always available tables( even for big groups). Regarding to the food- it is the best place in saigon to eat viatnameese food! Strongly recomended! Staff is increably polite and friendly and the view from the rooftop is outstanding! If you are in saigon- you should definitely come here to get the hue exerience!"

Les Maisons d’Itac: "A small but fantastic resort!"

We spent a long weekend in the bamboo house at this small but beautiful resort. Great experience. You are sleeping 3 meters from the beach! You hear the waves and all kinds of sounds in the night, very relaxing. The atmosphere at the place is great. It is sort of at the end of the road, so there is no restaurants or things to do within walking distance. But the staff and the manager Bryan are very serviceminded and will help you with anything you want to do or go to. We recommend you to eat all meals at the resort and then there's no need to go anywhere else. Just stay at the resort and enjoy it. We would love to come back some day!
