Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Tasting menu that surprises me, amazing atmosphere"

Review by: M4400NAtiffanyw | Source: Trip Advisor
"15 Feb 2017 - best meal in our 5-day trip Cambodian cuisine 2 tasting menus available Very nice atmosphere - tables are quite apart from one another, lighting is just about right so we could take great photos Good service - waiters are attentive and allow us to try the wine before deciding which bottle to get Excellent food - the appetizer (pan-fried sanday fish) was a surprise; we were allowed to swap one of the dishes from the two tasting menus I'd definitely recommend to friends - best for romantic dinners :P"

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Impressed"

Review by: tuckyins | Source: Trip Advisor
Second highly rated restaurant of our weekend trip. This time recommended by a foodie friend. You have choice of 4-course or 6-course or la carte menu. We had the 4-course option which has three choices per course. Wifey and I chose different dishes so we ended tasting 8 dishes. Most of the dishes were yummy. So you'll have lots of options to enjoy a fine meal. Cheers.

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Surprising quality"

Review by: nedimaydogdu | Source: Trip advisor
We took our staff for a company outing to this property over 3 nights. We are surprised with the quality of the villas, cabanas and pools and the amazing service that was provided. They are really lovely people and Bryan manages the place very well. We had no complaints and nothing went wrong,We purchased our foods and they cooked for us. Its a very quiet and peaceful location which is hard to find in Philippines. The only downsides are the long trip to get there which is about 3 hours and the lack of a beach to swim. On the plus side there are interesting activities around the place like kawasan falls and oslob whale watch, Ideal for people needing such a holiday or company affairs.

Villa Mathis: "Graduation Holiday"

Review by: Benjamin H | Source: tripadvisor.com
As a group of active teenagers graduating college, villa mathis was a nice retreat from our usual hustle and bustle. However when attempting to explore Bali, we found that villa mathis was a touch secluded, but this is not the blame of the villa at all. When we did explore, the staff would help arrange taxi's and suggest locations for any activity. The villa was of pristine quality and the staff were attentive and very helpful.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "“Leopard Safar”"

Review by: Tracey E | Source: Trip Advisor
"While this is an experience that cannot be put into words, I can only recommend this experience as a must see from the bottom of my heart for anyone who is lucky enough to be touring Sri Lanka. While it cannot be guaranteed at any time you will be lucky enough to see leopard as they are wild creatures in the wild... the passion that all the rangers have for their job is above and beyond. The accommodation will surely make you feel at home as will the outdoor showers that have to be seen to be believed. At the end of a long hot safari the jungle bar is waiting with any refreshment you may require... as are the nice cold towels that are from heaven The meals are to die for... with every whim required to... and if you leave the table hungry you have no one to blame but yourself Any doubts you may have through the night are quelled with a mobile phone within reach of your bed for instant access for assistance at any hour...peace of mind that will leave you sleeping like a baby Many many congrats to Noel Rodrigos Leopard Safaris and all the special memories that will stay with you for many years to come Simply a must for anyone who wants to experience the best that Sri Lanka can offer Tracey Evans"

Tugu Malang: "Tempo Doeloe feeling"

Review by: Henk58 | Source: tripadvisor.com
The hotel is a mixture of luxury and history. The rooms give a feel of the "good" (only for the Dutch) colonial old times, with the hand hammered baths. And the whole atmosphere is the hotel is friendly and service minded. The for is excellent and the hotel itself has a fantastic mix of antiquities within its walls (Chinese (most), Dutch and Indonesian. It was a pleasure going to the rooms with my 17 year old daughter and see her recognize drawings and pictures of Kublai Kahn and Sun Yat Sen. Great hotel.

Rachamankha: "Lovely and serene"

Review by: AndoverDan | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel is a lovely and serene property in the bustle of Chiang Mai, very traditional in style. The pool facility is excellent. Breakfast is excellent. The room was spacious and comfortable. However, the door is made of very heavy wood, and the only window fin the room faced a wall, so the room felt a bit like a cell. Service was gracious, if a bit impersonal. The hotel is located on the eastern edge of the Old City. It is a long walk to the daily morning and night markets, but very convenient to the Sunday night walking street.

Tandjung Sari: "Wonderful old style Bali hotel"

Review by: Fiona M | Source: tripadvisor.com
We loved our week at the Tandjung Sari - barefoot luxury - that we didn't leave the hotel all week - except for a quick shop up the road at Biasa. And we're going back. Beautiful craftworks, hand made pavers and pool tiles, fresco style painted outdoor pavilion.

Satri House: "Perfect. bliss"

Review by: taifun69 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Nothing to add really to the other reviewers. This place is splendid with style and characters, quiet because a bit away from the main road. Will absolutely return. Would only say that breakfast service is a bit difficult - you have to order piecemeal (or anyway, that's what our waitress did). Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

CABOCHON: "Lovely small hotel"

Review by: caron m | Source: tripadvison.com
"Old colonial style boutique hotel with friendly staff. Quiet location on side street. Lovely rooms with interesting furniture and artefacts. Small pool on roof. Lovely smell of burning candles throughout. Cute little restaurant if you don't feel like walking out. Good Thai food plus western options available. Breakfast was good too. Good wifi connection. "
