Inle Princess Resort: "A unique and beautiful place to stay"
Set on the majestic, vast and serene Inle Lake, with its floating villages, this beautiful resort is nestled amongst tropical gardens and pods of lily pads. We enjoyed staying in a lovely, spacious lake chalet which had both an indoor and outdoor shower. The service was first class, meals excellent and the pampering spa amazing. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay. We hope to return.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A museum as a hotel, a hotel as a museum"
"Traveller, once you come to Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia, male sure that you geh accomodation in this marvellous Hotel. Never Met a friendlier ans Most helpful straff, especially the ladies at the reception. The interior is original, the rooms arge large, so arge the bathrooms. Theres is only one suggestion: make netter barriers to avoid Museum visitors entering the Hotel Part. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Pindaya Farm House: "A wonderful, relaxing time"
Aye Aye, her husband and team at Thahara Pindaya couldn't have been more welcoming. The accommodation and food were fantastic and the walks and sightseeing gave us a small insight to a spectacular, fantastic, friendly country. Thank you!Jings Residence: "Traditional but modern small hotel"
Lovely Pingyao now lies on the high speed train line (300kph) linking Beijing and Xian, and so is very easy to visit by very comfortable trains. We had seen other excellent reviews of Jings Residence and were not disappointed. It is situated in the 'pedestrian area' with access with your luggage almost to the door using electric vehicles from just outside the city walls. The last few metres luggage needs to be wheeled. Reception and the restaurant area are just inside the entrance and then you enter a series of open courtyards off which the ground floor rooms are located. Some of the furniture shows a few signs of wear, but the rooms are still lovely - in ours the bed was the biggest we have ever slept in and stretched wall to wall. As others have said the staff were really nice and helpful. The food here was of a good standard. Knowing of my recent birthday, we returned one night to find a slice of chocolate cake and a good wishes card. They had also scattered rose petals on the bed. On our departure we were given some Puer tea and good luck emblems and this just added to a really memorable and enjoyable two night stay in Pingyao.Misool Eco Resort: "🌴☀️🐟 Рай на земле 🌴☀️🐟"
"Это действительно райское место, земной рай именно там! Отдыхали здесь с мужем и друзьями, первый раз мне не хотелось уезжать домой Отель великолепный, номера - это бунгало на воде, под тобой снуют маленькие акулки и множество прекрасных рыбок. В номере есть все необходимое, холодильник, сейф, кондиционер. Убираются несколько раз в день. Кухня заслуживает особого внимания, завтрак обед и ужин включены в программу. Есть еще второй завтрак и перекус в 5 часов, повар виртуоз, меню за 7 дней нашего пребывания ни разу не повторилось, все очень вкусно и красиво. Блюда приготовлены и оформлены как в хороших ресторанах. Всегда большое количество овощей, для вегетарианцев тоже раздолье. Всегда есть фреши и фрукты в вазе, можно перекусить по дороге на дайвинг:) Между дайвами можно сходить на традиционный массаж, 90 минут релакса и кайфа, мы оттуда выползали совершенно счастливыми:) Подводный мир, наверное, самый красивый в мире. Манты, черепахи, акулы, наполеоны, огромное разнообразие кораллов и губок, величайшее разнообразие мелких и крупных рыбешек, ну очень красиво. Отдых был великолепен, недели оказалось маловато:( Но мы обязательно повторим эту поездку. Огромное спасибо всему персоналу, каждый старался сделать наш отдых прекрасным и незабываемым. Мы вернемся!!! Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"Tugu Bali: "Beautiful hotel. Great service"
We spent 2 nights at the hotel for our honeymoon at the incredible Puri Le Mayeur suite...which was essentially a single-story house that has its foundation lying over a pretty lotus pond. The suite itself was huge (probably much more than the 2 of us needed)--but we made the most of it! The staff provided top-notch service from beginning to end, from welcome drinks to breakfast in our rooms. We also received a 15-20 minute "welcome massage" at the spa, and frequented the private plunge pool in our room! The hotel itself also has a very nice pool. The hotel provides ocean-views from many of its rooms (the view from the Puri suite was a partial, but still breathtaking), as well as from the common areas. There is a bar at the hotel itself, as well as many restaurants. Regarding the food, the breakfast we ordered to our rooms (Indonesian breakfast) was so delicious that we ordered it again! We also did the "dinner in bed" for our Christmas honeymoon night! The dinner took place on the hotel's lawn, which overlooks the ocean and provides an unparalleled view of the sunset all while being served drinks, food, and dessert. Overall it was a relaxing stay and the perfect place for a romantic getaway.Mie Cafe: "Fabulous fusion food with a great chef"
Just like a true bistro gastro in Siem Reap, the chief cooks very nice and tasty dishes using local fresh ingredients, Khmer original recipes and a Mediterranean type of twist. The garden is nice and quiet for a lovely lunch and diner. Good selection of wine as well for a typical bistro meal. Long story short, hurry up to visit this place.Bassac Cruises: "Very interesting morning"
First of all we took a small boat to the floating market with a lovely breakfast supplied on board. The boat lady was in exceptionally nice and we got some great photos that she pointed out to us. After the markets she dropped us off on the bank and we were met by a local guide and three bicycles. We then spent the next 2 hours gently cycling on small paths through villages in the forest between the small rivers. Very interesting guide who spoke excellent English. Delicious fruit and tea stop on route. Highly recommend both trips.The Village House: "Awesome place to relax"
Village house is the perfect place to relax sit back and enjoy. The setting is great, the food really nice you have to do the " taste of Borneo" menu. The staff very nice and helpful. If you want more than hanging around the pool reading, staff can arrange all your trips.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Peace, Tranquility & Comfort."
"My title epitomises Neeleshwar Hermitage. This was our 3rd visit & it was as good or better than the previous 2 visits. For absolute peace, tranquility & as a stress buster from our hectic schedules Neeleshwar is the place to go to. The rooms are big & spacious,the bathrooms even bigger & a nice clean swimming pool. To add to this you have the beach & ocean right at your doorstep.... what more can one ask for. This beautiful resort is located 15mins from Bekal fort & a 2 hr drive from Mangalore in the quiet town of Neeleshwaram. Now coming to the staff, Jayan & his team have perfected the art of being perfect hosts. Hospitality oozes from them & they are ever smiling. The food has improved a lot since our last visit & they have more variety of dishes. Shashi & his team are willing to satisfy your taste buds. Basically 5 Stars to all the support staff.... Melbin, Rajitha, the head chef to name just a few. Thanks to all of them for making our trip memorable. Getting to see the Theyyam ritual was a added bonus."
