Sea Dance Resort: "Quiet Oasis with 5 star service"

A Gem of the island nestled in the Choeng Mon area of Koh Samui with stylish accommodation and excellent friendly customer service. The bungalows are set within well designed, maintained and manicured tropical gardens with a beautiful pool and their signature restaurant 'Sea Salt' serving mouth watering thai dishes beside a secluded almost private beach with some great snorkelling amongst the corals just offshore.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "An exceptional Ayurvedic experience and Lotus Houseboat trip!"

My husband and I traveled from Canada to India recently and had the great pleasure of staying six nights at Neeleshwar Hermitage, two night of which were spent on the exceptional Lotus Houseboat cruising the backwaters of northern Kerala. We were transferred to Neeleshwar from the airport in Mangalore, a two or three hour drive. Our accommodation in Neeleshwar was exceptional, and the meals provided in our package were delicious and definitely very gourmet. We had booked an Ayurvedic all-inclusive package, and we enjoyed our helpful consultation with Dr. Suma on the premises. We thoroughly enjoyed our yoga and meditation sessions, and our massage masters (Indu and Arya and an excellent young man at the Priya Spa for my husband) were pleasant and competent. Mr. Sasi was the manager of food and beverage, and his team was excellent, including Dipin and Jayan. Dipin even recognized us when we visited Kanan Village nearby for the Thayyam Festival, and came over to speak with us! Shri Anil Kumar was an excellent Yoga / Meditation teacher, both skilled and wise. Mr. Jayan was an excellent manager, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous musical evening that he organized for the guests. Our two nights on the Lotus Houseboat were calm and relaxing, far superior to the very, very busy houseboats that operate out of Alleppey and cruise the southern backwaters. Captain Vinod, Chef Dinakaran, and Guide Sugesh were all exceptional, and we are very grateful to have met them. We visited a coir factory and a local village with Sugesh, and my husband enjoyed a village cycling excursion as well. Neeleshwar Hermitage was a great pleasure and we thoroughly enjoyed our six nights there, and can highly recommend this experience to other travelers!

Maison Polanka: "Secret Hotel Bliss"

"Don't pass up the opportunity to stay at this blissful, beautiful hotel. The rooms are fantastic, the grounds, including a fantastic pool, are beautiful and the attention to detail couldn't have been better. There are only 4 rooms plus a separate house - we stayed in the lovely yellow room. They will arrange tours to Angkor Wat though a friend recommended Dara Rann who we booked on our own (and highly recommend). The entire staff was caring and attentive and they even provided a fabulous breakfast in an insulated bag for us to take with us to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat (we were picked up at 445am). They even surprised us one evening with a birthday cake and card signed by the entire staff- thoughtful personal service indeed! You really feel as though you are in a secret hidden haven. What a special place!"

The Samar: " Fantastic place to stay and Go Around to See Temples and City Center"

"I definitely enjoyed my stay there,it is actually very convenient to go around,to visit temples,explore city center and have a walk around. It is a very quite place,a sanctuary to hide yourself. Perfect place for family. "

Locavore: "Put Locavore on your bucket list"

"We had heard rumours that the food at Locavore was the best in Bali. I've been around...this is the best I have experienced ! Some consider it expensive at about USD$60 a head with wine but the experience of mindfully eating this other-wordly cuisine was priceless. It was my birthday and I intend to celebrate this way every year at least. I recommend sitting at the bench in front of the team of geniuses creating your experience where you can engage with them."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Perfect!"

"I travellec with a small group of people to Glenburn in October 2015. The location is magical. Yes, it's worth the bumpy ride getting there. Rooms are exquisite. Morning tea in the room was heavenly! All the meals were very good, the Bengali dinner was exceptional. Meals were served at different beautiful locations around the estate, one dinner was under the star lit sky... The staff are exceptionsl - very attentive, very obliging, And we were treated to the majestic beauty of Kanchenjunga on the last day of our stay. The icing on the cake! Can't wait to get back. Thanks Husna and Darlen for your wonderful managemnet of our booking. And thanks to all the staff for the pampering!!"

Inle Princess Resort: "Paradise in the middle of another paradise."

"The hotel lays on the lake, and you need to get there by boat. The trip is so relaxing you starting getting into the rythm. The last part of the trip, has to be done rowing, they do not allow the noise of the boat motors bother their customers. It is just incredible. They preserve the customer rest and we even got a note from the direction apologizing because a monastery nearby had night prayers due to some festivity. The room we got was facing the lake directly. We woke up in the morning with the amazing views, and even some ducks feeding right below us. We enjoyed the best sunsets and dawns from our room porch. We visited in December, one of the coldest months there (around 18-20 ºC) but we got the option to light our chimney (yes we had one) and warm up there. The restaurant was spacious and the food amazing. They service was super educated, we got a waiter very young that clearly was being trained and we could only praise the teacher and the pupil. We did not fully use the rest of installations, but we really enjoyed our stay. I would come back if I could."

The Village House: "Touch of Paradise"

What a wonderful place to stay - highly recommend it. Staff are wonderful and rooms clean and comfortable. Great food and pool/bar area. Lots to see and do in the area and transport to Kuching easily achieved . Looking forward to coming back in the very near future .

Manda De Laos: "Excellent restaurant"

Excellent restaurant in a beautiful garden. The food (local Lao food) was excellent and the service was also very good. We ended going there in four of our six nights in Luang Prabang.
