The Village House: "Great great Staff and Hotel out of Kuching"

"We stayed at village house for 3 night for the ester week end. First the place is charming, tastily decorated and the room and bathroom are really clean. But the second point and what made this stay so great was the service and the staff! A big thank you to Alifa, Flora and Eleesa for taking such a good care of us! Great advice and help to visit around Santubong village and some talk about the culture of Borneo. And a big congrats to the Chef (that call him just a cook, you should not when you are serving a 8 course menu ...) really talented and worth paying more than the Food court few km from the hotel (by the way run away from damai beach resort). So to sum up, definitely a place that i recommend 100%, great for a week end gateway from Singapore or as a step into your travel in Asia! "

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "One of my favourite places on Earth"

"We arrived to grey weather and the welcome was as warm as ever! Every single one of the staff here are smiling and welcoming, they treat you like very special guests and the service is wonderful! The chalets each have 2 rooms, so very private...the ""wake ip call"" come with a person serving you tea or coffee as ordered the night before...today was early because the mountains"" are here""... So in order to enjoy the view you get up really early, it is worth it! The food here is scrumptious, be it Nepali or western...one tends to indulge... "

The Tiger’s Eye: "Love goes through your stomach"

"I was meeting an old friend to catch up on life, business, future and past. We had dinner at Tigers Eye and decided for the tasting menu with the carefully selected wine to accompany. Your experience is like tossed from the different sensations of Southeast Asia, to NY and Paris, still keeping that fine taste of Khmer cuisine and it's representation. Dinner conversations is truly accelerated by being at the right place, with right food and wine. Tim and his team makes Phnom Penh shine. See you soon again."

Talabgaon Castle Heritage Resort: "Beautifully restored haveli"

"A peaceful period hotel in a slightly remote setting. The gardens are enchanting, the pool side very inviting, the staff very warm and cordial. To top it off the food was really good and served in different settings in the various outdoor locales that the hotel boasts. Don't opt for the Burj rooms though. The deluxe rooms are good..And the suites are very royal though pricier. A big thank you to Mr Yogi, the manager, Mr Hemendra ( F&B) and Sandeep for taking such good care of us. And wishing Mr Dalpat Singh Rathore the very best for this venture in the future. Thank you"

Misool Eco Resort: "Simply splendid"

Torn as to whether to share info about this place, or keep it a secret. Stayed here in April-2014 with my partner, in water cottage number 5. The location is spectacular and the resort is just lovely. Decent food (excellent wines), high end facilities, and wonderful/friendly staff. It is truly impressive to see what the owners have accomplished here, up to and including the engagement of local stakeholders/residences to make this place part of the local community. Oh, and the diving is truly high-end... Diving is second-best ever, following Sipadan, but all in, this place was a notch above. This, and Auberge du Manoir in Chamonix France, are the only places I/we intend to revisit. Congratulations to the owners, on an impressive undertaking.

Arumdalu: "Calming Escape from Urban Life"

"If you ever find yourself in a sea-tuation in need for a peaceful green retreat and a doze of Vitamin Sea, then the answer you're looking for is Arumdalu Private Resort in Belitung. My first-ever trip to Belitung and Arumdalu surpassed all my expectations of a private resort in a small developing island- less known than Bali. We stayed a total of three days and two nights. Absolutely ah-ma-zing! Throughout our stay, the staff members are all very friendly, extremely polite, and offer helpful services 24/7. On my very first night, we were having trouble with the wifi connection from our multiple devices. It was past midnight when I called the front desk for assistance. The receptionist assisted us for a long time over the phone and maintained his professionalism all throughout. We were very thankful for his patience and kindness. The whole facility is really gorgeous, with beautiful architectural details and greenery. Everything seems to be thoughtfully designed and managed for the sole purpose of comfort and privacy. This place offers absolute privacy (underlined and bolded.) On top of its general secluded location and the private beach, each villa is designed with complete privacy in mind: gated entrance, dense greenery as partitions between villas, and a personal swimming pool. There is also a sense of exclusivity through minimal interaction with the staff on daily basis. For instance, there is no specific timeframe for room cleaning service and the staff wouldn't knock on your door to clean up your space. Everything is only a phone call away. How convenient! Another highlight is ‘Sahang Beachfront’ restaurant. The restaurant evokes a strong cozy ambiance. The wooden glassed space with home-styled table decorations creates an extremely familiar intimacy. The veggies and fruits used as ingredients are organically grown and freshly picked from in their own garden. Bottom-line: the food here is worth the calories to satisfy your palate. Personal side note, as an architect that values design and craftsmanship as well as an avid believer of living a sustainable lifestyle, I feel an overwhelming sense of satisfaction staying in a resort that proactively shows and promotes its core values of their thoughtful quality design and eco-friendliness. Oh! Did I mention that I saw 6 dolphins by the shore while waiting for sunrise? Such a therapeutic comfort. Personally recommend Arumdalu to those seeking for a calming luxurious natural escape from urban life Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

Samanea Beach Resort: "Fabulous getaway!"

Superb villa accommodation for couple or families. The staff were superb as was the salt water swimming pool. Very lovely villas, comfortable beds, outside showers and inside bathrooms, cable TV, wireless, restaurant, man made beach and incredibly beautiful gardens. Be warned though that even though it is right on the sea, the sea comes up to a gown ups knees only! There is a very long jetty that takes you out further but again the tide is normally out - don't get me wrong it is still very pleasant. Mangrove is very clean, lots of wildlife especially birds. The staff could not do enough to help they were just great and overall I must say our experience was excellent. For a getaway from Phnom Penh or to just visit Kep it is the perfect place.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Best restaurant in Yangon?"

The food, the venue, the location, the attention to detail and the warm reception of the guests make this my favorite restaurant in Yangon. Theme dinners, business lunches, drinks at sunset, receptions.... Not cheap, but worth it.

Tugu Lombok: "Over any expectations – just a dream place!"

"We have spent the greatest six days at Tugu Lombok in the end of May/beginning of June 2016 to celebrate our wedding at Sire Beach. Already before being there, we could feel the warm and personalized service of the team of Tugu Lombok, which helped us to organize the complete wedding arrangements ahead, including legal steps. There was nothing we could not have asked for. Thanks Evi and Hanny for showing so much affort and passion in helping us celebrating the best day of our life! Once we finally arrived at our wedding location, we were stunned by the unique setting of this great hotel. No matter where you look, each corner has its own charme and atmosphere. All staff is very attentive and service oriented. From the first day on, they knew our names (all of them). Evi and Hanny (the resort manager) showed us again the planned rundown for our wedding day and we could finalize final details, such as exact location of the altar. The hotel itself let you calm down and relax right away. We have stayed two nights at the Aloon Aloon Villa and got then an upgrade to the villa with the pool towards the ocean, called Bhagavat Gita Oceanfront Suites. Both options are great. The bathroom can be compared with a spa as it is so spacious. The villas itself are very huge and provide a lot of privacy. In general you feel very private at TUGU and can spend the day without seeing lots of people. The wedding day itself was stunning and words cannot express what a great day it has been for us. Even in our dreams we could not have expected such a great setting, service and atmosphere. The day started with a relaxed, easy going photo shooting by a team of eight photo and video grapher from D Graphity. The team was doing a amazing job above what we ordered and paid them for. We have received great photos and an even better video. A huge thank you for that once again! After lunch, the make up and hair of the bride got done and also here the external hair and make up artist did an excellent job. After getting ready further photos got taken and then the ceremony took place at 5:00p.m, at the beach. The walkway for the bride was full of Frangipiani flowers. The dinner was chosen by as in form of a private lobster BBQ on the beach with hundreds of candles surrounding our table and a bonfire next to us. The food was great as well. All in all - Everything worked out perfectly and we could not have thought of a more relaxed and better way to start our future together! We spontanously decided to extend our stay for additional two nights and did a full day private snorkeling trip to the Gilis with the dragon boat instead of staying there. The snorkeling trip can be also definitely recommended! We are looking forward to come back in future!"

Rachamankha: "Rachamankha Chiang Mai — Perfect Hotel!"

Quaint, quiet, peaceful -- we arrived Christmas night (2017) and had dinner in the open-air/outdoor dining area. There was a beautiful, roaring fire (real fire, not gas!) and a duet playing Christmas songs. Could not have been a more perfect evening. This is a lovely hotel. Service and food was excellent! Located in the center of town -- perfect location.
