Rachamankha: "A haven of peace and tranquillity"
"Simply stunning hotel - design, decoration and the gardens. All these coupled with the good service made our experience an exceptional one. Breakfast at the beautiful courtyard was a great start to each day. And dinner at the hotel restaurant was accompanied by live lanna music - soothing and relaxing. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wishes to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. We will be back!"Nimmu House: "The perfect place"
We chose to end in Nimmu House a rather full program of trekking and touring in Ladakh. We couldn't be happier with this choice. Our heads full of memories to process, we were given space, the beautiful apple and apricots orchards, the relaxing terrasse, our own luxury tent, and time, no rush for anything, to digest all we had done so far and also the idea that we would have to leave soon. The old house is beautiful. It is being restored with great attention and respect for locale traditions. The staff is very kind and extremely helpfull and the food is fresh and delicious! The perfect place ...David’s Kitchen: "Excellent Last Night Out"
We ate here on our final night in Chiang Mai and what a delicious, memorable experience we had! From the moment you step out of the car you are warmly greeted and treated with first class service. Our waiter, Ton, was very friendly, attentive and really made our night memorable. Even David greeted us at the door, and checked up on us several times during the evening. As for the food, it was delicious. We were looking forward to a break from the standard Thai dishes, and there was a vast Italian/French menu to chose from. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin, and I opted for the pork chop with cherry glaze, and both were excellent, and well cooked. The red wine we chose was outstanding and very reasonably priced. David stated he pays special attention to his wine selections to give his customers great wines, and this was definitely proof of that. Definitely a must go to restaurant to finish off an equally amazing visit in Chiang Mai.Tugu Malang: "So luxurious"
"Our group of five arrived at Hotel Tugu by train late in the afternoon. We were greeted by very friendly and helpful staff who assisted us to check in. While our luggage was taken to our room we enjoyed the complimentary afternoon tea. The hotel is like staying in a museum. Tours are available but we were short of time. We enjoyed dinner by the pool before going to bed. We were woken at 12.30am and set out on our adventure to see the sunrise on Mount Bromo. This is a spectacular sight and well worth the journey. Warm clothing is definitely required. Don't forget your camera. We returned early morning to the hotel and had a few hours of sleep. That night we booked dinner in the King's room which is absolutely magnificent with so much to look at and so much history. We felt like Royalty seated at the table as we ate our meal. The staff went out of their way to make it a very memorable occasion for us. Next morning, after breakfast by the pool, our stay sadly came to an end we left for the airport. This hotel was one of the best that we have stayed in. We will definitely return again as our stay wasn't long enough to see everything that Malang has to offer. "4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A Wonderful Experience"
We stayed here recently for 3 nights at the end of a month long tour of Vietnam and Cambodia.Everything about it was fantastic. The location, the wonderful luxurious tents, the food, the friendly helpful service by all of the staff, the excursions...it was all magical. We did the early morning jungle trek and the boat trip to a remote village and kayaking in the mangroves. Our guide was so helpful and interesting (sorry can't remember his name) and it was lovely to see his family waving from their home just over the river. We also took kayaks (my first ever venture) and crossed the river to visit the local village. We were greeted by one of the families, given a tour around by foot to some of the villagers homes and they went out of their way to get fresh coconuts down for us to drink. The whole setting is wonderful and was such a relaxing treat after such a hectic holiday. We would thoroughly recommend 4 Rivers, we only wish we could returnThe Village House: "Relaxing and chill"
Seemingly in the middle of nowhere this hotel was a complete surprise to me. The staff were all incredibly friendly and really helpful with arranging things such as going to the national parks, when the shuttle bus didn't come the boss drove us himself. All the food was fantastic as where the cocktails, highly recommend this place.friendlyArumdalu: "God’s wonderful creation"
Saya sangat puas dengan pelayanan dari arumdalu, ketika sampai saya disambut oleh driver dan dibantu untuk koper saya. Ketika sampai saya disambut oleh minuman selamat datang, untuk villa sangat menakjubkan dimana bentuk bangunan sangat unik dan eco luxury, sangat menakjubkan bahwa arumdalu menanam sayur dan buah yang digunakan untuk menu makanan yang disajikan, ruangan villa yang saya tinggali sangat bagus kolam renangnya dan gazebonya sangat unik, kebersihan villa sangat dijaga, dan fasilitas kamar villa dari ranjang kamar mandi dan lainnya sangat mewah sesuai dengan harganya. Fasilitas dan service sangat baik dan worth it sekali untuk harga villanya. Dan disana saya dijelaskan tentang eco concept arumdalu dimana mereka menjaga sekali alam dan pantainya. Air buangan mandi dan kolam renang mereka recycle dimanfaatkan untuk tanaman yang mereka tanam, panas dari airconnya pun digunakan untuk water heater air untuk mandi, dan juga tidak menggunakan pompa sama sekali sehingga mereka menggunakan gravitasi. Concept mereka sangat amazed buat saya. Dari pengalaman saya menginap di resort setiap negara dan daerah pinggir pantai, tak ada satupun yang memikirkan konsep ini. Untuk makanan restauran sahang so yummy. Makanan yang disajikan sangat unik, yaitu bebek dalam sangkar. Recommended untuk makanan ini, saya juga minum aladine summer night its so refreshing. Disana saya berjalan dipinggir pantai dan sejauh mata saya melihat keindahan dunia dimana saya sering traveling ke pulau dan pantai, pantai arumdalu belitung sangat cantik dan bersih, dengan ombak yang tenang membuat semua kejenuhan akibat bekerja dikota hilang semuanya, relax dan menyatu dengan alam. Tempat ini sangat cocok untuk honeymoon bagi pasangan muda mudi millennials. View di pantai ini sangat indah disaat sunrised. Bagi kalian pasangan muda mudi yang honeymoon dan orang yang ingin relax dan menyatu dengan alam so recommended.The Cabochon Hotel: "A Gem in the Heart of Bangkok"
"This is it! Don't come here to find the latest gadgets in comfort for the decerned business traveler, but make a visit to the past yet excellent in style and service. Enjoy the wonderful surroundings of a truly colonial style. What makes it all a really very nice experience is the personal service! Yes it is a kind of home. Your size is also comfortable as you will never get lost in a huge building, but you could get ""lost"" with all the nice decorations and artifacts probably from a personal collection. The restaurant serving a Thai fare is excellent. Also here the nice personal touch. Keep it up this way! You are definitely carving a very special place in the heart of Bangkok. Please do not be in a hurry here, as sometimes the Sukhumvit travel get you stranded. But then there is the BTS nearby!"Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Truly boutique!"
"I visited this property while on work and was totally floored by the excellent service and the look and ambience of it. Quaint thatched roof cottages (some with their own private swimming pool and jacuzzi) are named uniquely after emotions like Peace, Love, Joy. Amazing sea views and a sandbar between the sea and the lagoon had me clicking away at my camera!!. The infinity pool faces the sea and looks inviting. The staff from the spa therapist to the restaurant stewards took very good care of me..As a single woman traveller, they made me feel safe and very comfortable. The resort does NOT use mineral water bottles at all! Water is served in glass bottles or copper jugs. The rooms also DO NOT have televisions so it is perfect for a digital detox holiday. The Common Room has a TV for those who cannot do without their daily dose of television bytes......There are two restaurants..One of them has a great collection of books which guests can borrow to read. A WOW experience I would love to repeat with my family! Room Tip: Choose cottages with the sea view...lovely to wake up to the sound of waves!!"JL Studio: "精緻新穎的新加坡料理"
