SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Oasis in the middle of busy Yangon"

Review by: martarno | Source: Trip Advisor
A stunning place in the heart of Yangon, with an impecable view towards the Inya Lake. The food is just perfection and the hosts are really nice. The only thing I could criticize would be that the table is a little bit dark.

Manda De Laos: "Romantic dinner by the pond"

Review by: BeenThereAlready_12 | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed at Maison Dalabua (same property) and were lucky to get reservations the first night of our stay. Great food (Laotian with a French touch). Good cocktails and all at very moderate prices - maybe not for local standads (one can eat cheaper in town) but considering the quality of food very reasonably priced.

Sukoon Houseboat: "Beautiful, relaxing and top notch in every way"

Our whole crew stayed here whilst filming a documentary for ITV and we adored it. Such a beautiful boat, and set in gorgeous surroundings. Altaf and his staff were charming and attentive, and we would have loved to have stayed ALOT longer!

Talabgaon Castle Heritage Resort: "Quiet Getaway"

Review by: Luc R | Source: Trip Advisor
"What and amazing experence I had here. This is by far the best hotel I've stayed in while traveling through india. It was so great I extended my stay! it was such a different experence out in the countryside, peacefull and very beautiful away from the hecticness of the city - I had the opertunity to be taken through the small surrounding village and meet some of the local people. I was even invited into someone's house for some chi (tea) and to see how the locals lived experiencing an aspect of India the larger hotels just don't offer. Also, as Talabgoan is the home of the owners polo team, there are a bunch of fantastic horses - I don't ride but for someone who does it's a terrific destination. The hotel itself is a combination of the old family castle that has been converted into a modern boutique hotel designed to match the highest Europen standards. Amazing food, fantastic pool and a great bar - an oasis in a traditional Indian lanscape - A must visit!"

Sea Dance Resort: "A beautiful retreat – I want to go back!"

Review by: Annifuse | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent 6 nights at Sea Dance and I honestly could have stayed longer. We had a warm welcome and our deluxe bungalow was spotlessly clean and a good size. We had a quirky bathroom which was attached to the outside of the bungalow which we loved and again spotless. The staff were so welcoming and were all great to have a chat to. It was my birthday and they surprised me with a special breakfast and flowers in my room, its a touch like that you won't find in a bigger resort. The food was exceptional, buffet breakfast and plenty of choices for the evening. We enjoyed the beach too it was very peaceful. You can hire scooters near by to get around. The hotel also has live music, cocktail nights and buffets which were really nice too.

I stayed in this hotel before and this time I am returning with bigger group of friends. The staff handled our reservations with full attention and all details have been taken care. We were extremely surprised as one of the rooms was upgraded for our better comfort.

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Beautiful small boutique hotel"

Review by: teuneniwan | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Very nice place to stay when you are in Bangkok. Very quiet hotel in colonial style in the middle of the busy city. About 15 min. walk from BTS Station Thong Lo. Also very near Sukhumvit 38, a very good street food street. The hotel has a nice rooftop swimming pool and a good restaurant. Staff is very helpful. We hope to be able to come back!"

Tugu Bali: "Amazing! Best Hotel and the original hotel in canggu"

Review by: Victor H | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wow what a place this hotel is very very special... the rooms are incredible! The whole hotel is like a Indonesian museum, it's got some amazing artefacts and antique furnishings throughout the whole place, the owner is the largest collector of Indonesian artefacts and antiques in the world, its such a special place to just walk around... part of the restaurant is made out of a 300 year old beautifully carved family temple that was saved by the founder of Tugu hotels dismantled then shipped to Tugu Canggu where it was restricted and became the interior of one of their fabulous restaurants within the hotel... the hotel is as much a museum as it is a hotel... We stayed in the rejang suite which has a awesome bath and views over the sea... the bed is one of the comfiest beds I've slept in I love the pillows, they equal the standard of the four seasons or ritz Carlton bedding... basically it's more than comfortable!! :) We loved the grounds which are all beautifully kept as is the Lilly ponds and there's large beautiful fish swimming through the little rivers that run throughout the hotel grounds... it’s very calming and peaceful environment. The staff were all so kind and friendly we were given a full tour of the hotel and showed around all of the Indonesian artefacts and antiques that the owner of Tugu hotels has tirelessly collected over years... there’s some really amazing things here if your into your culture and history this is a really special treat! The JI restaurant has some awesome sushi we had a evening snack and then came back lunch the next day as the sushi is just amazing! On our 2nd night we attended their cultural evening and had dinner in front of the whole performance it was amazing, the show was beautifully performed and the food was to die for! Cocktails are pretty decent too!! We had a fantastic two days at the Tugu hotel and were really taken back by the beauty of this hotel it’s just really stunning! I you want something unique and special but also luxurious then Tugu Canggu is your best bet! Thanks to everyone who made our stay so special at Tugu Hotel! Victor & Emma x"
