Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "One of the best hotels in Nepal"
I have visited Tiger Mountain several times and I now regard the staff there as 'friends'. The team led by Marcus, Jhalak and Dol Raj are very friendly and helpful. The food is some of the best available in Nepal. Local curry is excellent and the Western dishes are wholesome and tasty. The hotel focuses on ecotourism and so tries to use local organic produce as much as possible. The large garden is full of birds and butterflies and the naturlist team available for nature walks are very experienced. The swimming pool has possibly the best hotel swimming pool view in the World. I shall return!Sukoon Houseboat: "A good break"
Quiet recluse tucked in the corner of Dal lake. The service was impeccable and Rooms clean. If there was something which could be improved it is the food, slightly bland may be catering to foreign pallets.Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Hard to find, worth the search"
"The restaurant space is clean, comfortable and a bit minimalist in design. The food is creative an superb. We like to select wines that do not typically appear on wine lists and we chose a glass of Cremant de Jura to start. Dishes of note included large river prawns with pork belly jam and shrimp paste, an incredible sous-vide pork jawl and an aged beef tenderloin. We finshed by sharing a duck egg custard with rice powder. All presented as creative interpetations and generally suggestive Thai flavors. Chef Ton oversees all and appeared to inspect every dish before they went to the table. Despite his resume, Chef Ton is quite young and should be heard from in the future. A tip to find Le Du if you go: when you turn off Silom Road onto Silom 7 Alley go to the end of the alley, to the T and you will find Le Du on the kleft."Rachamankha: "Pearl of Chiang Mai"
A beautiful hotel. Tucked away in its more hectic surroundings of Chiang Mai. Rachamankha gives you the opportunity to step away into a very peaceful and tranquil environment. Surrounded by Chinese antique and great architecture it is easy to feel at home. The swimmingpool is clean, well maintained and again well designed. There is a library to dive into the background of Rachamankha's lay out, its design and architecture. The staff, so helpful, generous, professional and friendly. They even sent us - in no time - our daughters' birthday presents we forgot in the hotel room. High quality service, great food and better wine, a delight. We don't like to visit the same place twice, but this hotel will be the exception.The Hue House: "Best traditional restaurant"
This is one of the best restaurant for our whole trip in Vietnam. Decoration is very nice - in a French Villa with traditional design. Food is so good with many dishes from North to South. Very fresh ingredients to make the dish is even more delicious. Staff is very professional with big smile all the time. Very enjoyable dinner.Tugu Bali: "Paradise in Bali"
We spent the last night here after a three week holiday travelling around Bali. This was a birthday treat and the icing on my cake! It is a very stylish and unqiue hotel full of the most beautiful pieces of Balinese artworks. Our room was on the second floor overlooking koi ponds with the sea in the background. It was a stunning room with a gorgeous sunken bath and a huge fabulously comfortable bed. The staff and service were amazing as was the food. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will certainly come back.Tugu Lombok: "Very Polite Staff and Excellence Service"
Hotel Tugu Lombok is located near Bangsal port (port from Lombok island to Gili islands). Firstly, I came to hotel just for asking their room rates since I already knew their famous unique hotel in Malang. Surprisingly, their staffs are very polite and informative giving explanation about their room types and also the rate. They also let me and my family to walk around hotel and saw several rooms. Finally we took a rest in their restaurant while enjoying some fresh juices and pizza. Although we didn't stay for this moment, but I will recommend this hotel for their excellence service, friendliness and polite staffs.Villa Song: "Beautiful hotel, grounds and artwork."
Our family of 4 stayed in a suite with balcony. Bedroom area was a little cramped with one extra bed for our girls to share, lots of room in the entrance/bathroom/balcony though. Close enough to get to town with ease and so quiet and relaxing to come back to. Kids loved the pool and we really enjoyed our included massages. The artwork and attention to detail were lovely. Staff were great, super helpful. Would have liked to stay longer.Tugu Malang: "Fantastisch"
Have fallen in love with the Tugu Malang. Received at check-in sincerely and could choose a room. The service was 1A. The facility is decorated with enormously wide variety of artifacts. The breakfast (included) was indescribably good. From more than 15 (!) Pages we could choose our wide variety of dishes. only the hotel would come back due to Malang.Rachamankha: "Wonderful honeymoon"
"My husband and I spent a wonderful four days at the Rachamankha hotel during our time in Chiang Mai. The hotel feels like a quiet oasis and is beautifully decorated. The staff is incredible responsive and helped us get tuktuks and navigate the city. The breakfast was amazing (crepe and French toast) and we also had dinner there which was very good. The rooms are kept well air conditioned which was much appreciated during the heat we experienced."
