Inle Princess Resort: "Lake-side retreat"

Review by: Kathy C | Source: Trip Advisor
"From the breath-taking sunrises and sunsets over the lake to the wonderful massages, this is a place to relax and enjoy yourself. Our lakeside cottage was huge and well appointed...couldn't ask for more. Quiet, peaceful grounds. A bit of a hike from our cottage to the restaurant...if you are mobility challenged, you might want to ask for a closer cottage; was not a problem at all for us, however. Would return in a heart-beat. Be sure to allow enough time to explore the lake and its villages by boat...an experience not to be missed! We were there mid-January, and the weather was perfect, and no major mosquito problems. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "One of our best highlights of our Bangkok trip"

Review by: Christine L | Source: Trip Advisor
I'm not usually a cruise fan but one of our Thai friends highly recommended this dinner cruise so we took her word for it and man it was beautiful! The only let down was that it raining and it went dark pretty quickly. Despite that we were very well sheltered from the rain on the cruise and could see the famous Wat Arun and The Grand Palace (just to name a few) as there were lights illuminating the buildings. You can expect the meals to be of fine dining level and authentic (it was as memorable as our fine dining at Issaya Siamese Club). Staff were attentive throughout and the crowd were decent. I'd highly recommend this to anyone visiting Bangkok.

Inle Princess Resort: "Wonderful Visit"

Review by: claired0n | Source: Trip Advisor
"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Inle Princess. The feel is very rustic; however, the amenities are pure luxury. Wonderful view of the lake and sunsets. I loved the outdoor shower! The staff was very welcoming and attentive as well. It was my birthday during our stay and the staff surprised me with a birthday cake, lovely gift and card to help me celebrate. I was truly touched by their attention to this detail. It made my day! Thank you to the general manager and staff. The lakeside restaurant offered a nice variety and the food was delicious. I am sure you will not be disappointed should you choose this lovely hotel. It was a wonderful experience for my husband and me."

Inle Princess Resort: "Simply wonderful"

We loved every single moment of the 4 days we spent in this resort. The place is so beautiful and peaceful that you have impression of living in another planet. Great rooms (lake houses are top), super service, excellent food - all is perfect. The architecture of the place is amazing and the decoration has been done with great taste.

A small hotel providing 2 and 3 bedroom self catering apartments, appropriate for small families. Very friendly staff and very good service. Located close to shopping facilities and the BTS train services.

Misool Eco Resort: "Spectacular and Amazing vacation"

Review by: Timmi002 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wow, how does one write a review about paradise. This place is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth with diving that surely rivals the best on earth. From A to Z, this place is top notch. We stayed in Water Cottage 1 right by the Dive Shop and loved the proximity to our daily dive ritual. The cottage itself is gorgeous, all made from salvaged local wood. The outdoor bathroom/shower is perfect for the setting, full of eco-friendly bath products. The veranda is amazing with lounge chairs, a bed and a hammock (over the lagoon), offering incredibly views of the lagoon and fish down below, plus stairs down to lagoon for easy access for swimming or snorkeling or just a dip to cool off. The cottage was cleaned and refreshed every morning during our first dive. The bed set up with the AC and mosquito netting is tastefully done and did in fact prevent mosquitos from getting in while keeping us cool and comfortable at night. The food was delicious from morning till night. Fresh bread, tasty homemade granola, egg dishes, smoothies, juices, salads, desserts, fish, chicken, pasta, etc. And I can't forget to mention the fresh baked fantastic cookies served every afternoon. The chef serves a wide variety of great food to keep the guests sustained and ready to spend their days diving or snorkeling. They also serve a wide variety of wine and some beer. The staff in the restaurant provided excellent service. As for the diving, well, it's impossible to really describe other than to say it is out of this world. Since returning I have decided the best way to describe it is like in the cartoons such as Finding Nemo or The Little Mermaid. The incredible variety of coral really is THAT colorful and gorgeous. The fish really are that big and stunning. Tons of schools of all sorts of fish - bump heads, snapper, giant trivially, and batfish. Plus sharks, turtles, eels, sea cucumbers, sea horses, starfish, sea worms, banner fish, clown fish and the list goes on. But the coup de grace of Misool diving is the manta ray. Massive and majestic creatures that are otherworldly. I could dive with them all day and never get bored. The organization of the diving is the best I have ever experienced. Extreme attention is paid to safety. I always felt in good hands thanks to all the staff including Calvin and Sabine, but especially our amazing and caring dive master James. We went diving with him for 8 days on the same boat with the same equipment master and speedboat driver. They were so kind and thoughtful, I wanted to take them home with me. There was something amazing to see on every single dive. The one down side about this place is that we had to leave. And I do believe that I am now forever spoiled. Misool Eco Resort is truly a 5 star destination."

Rachamankha: "Beautiful"

Review by: Carina S | Source: Trip Advisor
"My mum and I stayed here during our first trip to Thailand and it was the perfect introduction to Chiang Mai. The staff were so friendly and hospitable, and the room and grounds were breathtaking. Good location, walking distance to a lot of temples and the night markets. The only down side was that the walk at night is not very well lit. I will definitely be back when I return to Chiang Mai."

Review by: asteandtry | Source: tripadvisor.com
With a collection of Javanese and Chinese art to make a museum jealous and good rooms, pool, and food - what more could you want. Staff friendly and helpful. The afternoon tea with delicious and unusual Javanese sweet dishes was delicious. Would gladly stay again

Tugu Malang: "prachtig hotel in koloniale stijl"

Review by: Christine S | Source: Trip Advisor
"mooie schone luxe kamers aan een vijver. Ontbijt heerlijk en uitgebreid. Theetijd moet je zeker meemaken; koekjes en dawet waren erg lekker. Hotel ligt in het centrum aan een groot plein. Fietstocht met John was een succes vooral het gekleurde dorpje aan de rivier Brantas sungei. Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam Alle ruimtes waren smaakvol ingericht en een aanrader voor iedereen."
