Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Extraordinary degustation! MUST do!"

Review by: lauraelou | Source: Trip Advusor
Greeted by the chef on arrival and made feel welcome like your dining at the chefs own home! Incredible local produce and traditional Khmer flavours, prepared using French techniques. The frog legs were an absolute highlight! Affordable fine dining at its best! Can't wait to return! Thank you!

Inle Princess Resort: "Extraordinary for Myanmar"

Review by: drl_smit-may | Source: Trip Advisor
"Luxury tourism is new for this country so I don't expect things as to be as good as Thailand.This is one of the two best hotels in the entire country. The other is the Governors residence in Yangon.This Hotel has five-star accommodations and five-star service in everything except the restaurants. The restaurants are four star. Unfortunately I was not able to get a lake view room but my Gardenview room was beautiful. Had an awesome massage at the spa.The staff could not be more accommodating. Recommend this as the number one hotel to stay at in Inle lake. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Manda De Laos: "A gem"

Review by: brenda l | Source: Trip Advisor
We went here as it was close to our hotel and it was pouring with rain. We were not disappointed, the setting was lovely, set around a pond and beautifully lit. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. Well worth a visit.

MesaStila: "Thank you so much for a memorable stay"

Review by: Mette L | Source: Trip Advisor
"It is now a little more than a week ago since we left MesaStila after a very memorable 4 nights stay, and we wish we were still there. The scenic location takes your breath away when you arrive and during your stay, and we never got tired admiring the 8 volcanoes in the different light during the day, and the all so green and lush vegetation all over the resort. The villas are amazing; we stayed in a Arum villa and from the huge balcony enjoyed a beautiful view to the treetops and distant volcanoes. Everything inside the villa was perfect, and food served in the restaurant very delicious and well prepared especially the indonesian dishes we had for dinner. If you are into bicycling the resort has very good mountainbikes to use, and we can recommend to cycle the small country roads to Grabac and back; Java countryside at its best. And just as important: the very kind, good humored and helpful staff also made our stay unforgettable! Thank you to all the staff from grateful guests, we hope to come back. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Malang: "Super!"

Review by: BE001903 | Source: Trip Advisor
"At Tugu Malang they really understand how to treat hotel guest. Such hospitality is rare but absolutely great. Each member of the staff goes the extra mile to please the guests. The hotel also doubles as a museum. It is really a fabulous place. Rooms are well equiped (not your standard decoration though). We also tried the restaurant: same story ... Staff is super helpful and friendly food ... A huge choice of dishes from malang street food, chinese, dutch and italian cuisine ... Pages and pages of dishes. The kitchen must be super organized because food arrives pretty quickly and was so really good. If you go to Malang.... This is the hotel to book"

Samanea Beach Resort: "Absolutely Perfect"

Review by: JodieS186 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wonderful hotel, we extended our stay from 2-4 nights. The grounds are beautiful, large swimming pool and set on the ocean accessible by private jetty. The rooms (or suites) were spacious, exceptionally clean, with gorgeous and comfortable 4 poster beds with mosquito nets. The barroom is again spacious, the big surprise was the large adjoining outdoor area with open shower and oversized round rock bathtub. The rooms had adjoining outdoor areas with comfortable chairs and table were you can relax or dine also included a hammock. The staff were wonderful, would bring our meals and drinks to the beachside cabanas or while we were swimming in the pool. Food at the restaurant was good quality and they made excellent coffees. My only suggestion would be some stand up paddle boards or kayaks as the water was so calm it would be perfect. Whilst at the higher end of the hotel market in Kep, price was very reasonable. A place suitable for all travellers, families, couples and friends also solo if your looking for some serenity."

Sukoon Houseboat: "Sukoon House Boat refined luxury experience"

Review by: Peter Simon M | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were greeted at the airport with an experienced and very knowledge local guide and immediately made to feel truly welcome and at home, A unique experience to be transported on your personal Shikara (small decorated row boat) across Dal lake to the luxury Sukoon House Boat. The welcome at your boat include cold towels, welcome drink and monogrammed pashmina. The decor, fittings and layout of the boat were all high quality and were complimented with a very strong environmental theme. The food was prepared by a professional chef who always checked with your personal tastes and was served by friendly and professional staff. There was nothing that they would not get for you. A truly relaxing stay in luxury. "

Samanea Beach Resort: "Good family time"

Review by: AKN17 | Source: Trip Advisor
The staff was very friendly, they were always ready to accommodate your request and provide their best service. Don't forget that you are in Cambodia and their standard may not be as high as other countries in South East Asia. We were looking for a remote, quiet place to relax, the resort match our expectation and even slightly above.

FLOWER ISLAND: "Little island of paradise"

Review by: Noemie_Noisette_29 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We stayed three nights in Flower Island in March 2015. We really enjoyed, the staff was very friendly and committed to make your stay like a being in paradise. The snorkeling experience was amazing, best we had in Palawan! Just few meters from our room, with all equipments available for free at the hotel! Nice breakfast with fresh mango every day! Dinner food could have been better, but ok! "

The Island Lodge: "Lovely boutique resort that focus on the little details"

Review by: Vangr00vy | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed four nights here and very much enjoyed the place. The hotel welcomed us with scented moist towels, fresh juice and a snack. We were ushered into a good sized room with thoughtful touches like a good coffee machine, various toiletries and snacks. The hosts, Michel and Francoise, are kind and attentive as are the staff. The food was tasty and well presented and the small spa was also good. We definitely recommend this hotel.
