Reverie Siam Pai: "Beautiful hotel with real character"

This is the best hotel in Pai. It's a little way out of the centre but they do have a cute little shuttle which is more like a glorified golf buggy. The whole place is designed beautifully with a theme of 1920's jazz era, and this is executed really well. It's got real soul. It's a lovely place to hang out, rooms are large, bathrooms are huge, pool is great and the views are divine.

Sea Dance Resort: "romantic stay in paradise"

Sea Dance was a romantic place to stay for our 5 nights in Koh Samui. It's about a 7 minute drive from Chaweng but the property itself is tucked away from the main road and major downtown areas. We enjoyed the cooking class, the friendly staff, the free kayaking, the swing on the beach, our private pool and the main resort pool, beautiful ocean views, and live music on 2 of our 5 nights there! The staff are all very friendly and professional.

Cuca: "Great food and presentation"

Wonderful knowledgeable staff and great service. The food was excellent. We had a wide variety of dishes and everyone was very pleased with the quality and taste. Been back many times and can't fault the place.

Chakrabongse Villas & Residences: "Hospitality and Location"

Exceptional location and warm hospitality. Our family of four booked one of the river suites and one of the garden rooms for 4 days over Christmas. First off, the property is a gem in the heart of the historic area. It makes it very easy to walk to many of the top sites, take the ferry, see the flower and medicine markets and more. Secondly, both Atom and Ohm and their warmth made the stay exceptional. They provided so much historical and local knowledge that was pure gold. Thirdly, the owner, the third generation from one of the last kings, was in town, and she kindly sent around champagne for Christmas. A nice touch. And finally, the river view for dinner and breakfast was lovely. This is a true oasis in the heart of Bangkok. Skip the soulless hotel and experience a Thai boutique villa. Thank you again, Atom and Ohm!

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Paradise Found"

"Having spent two crazy weeks exploring Delhi, Varanasi, Agra etc. we flew down for a week in southern India to unwind. I had picked the Neeleshwar Hermitage from a photo of the swimming pool I had seen in The Trailfinders brochure, and it more than lived up to my expectations. The welcome was genuinely warm, and our cottage was just lovely. The discreet but friendly staff were always on hand for anything we needed. We arrived in the dark, and so waking up to the Arabian sea was a real treat. The beach went on for miles and was virtually deserted. The sea was warm and inviting, and the infinity pool was superb. Both restaurants were excellent, and breakfast beside the beach was fantastic. I had a wonderful treatment in the spa, and would recommend a visit. Following 3 nights at the resort we transferred for one night on the houseboat. What a wonderful, fabulous experience that I will always treasure. A perfect end to an amazing holiday. Room Tip: Some of the cottages face the sea, but we had a garden view and it was still lovely."

Tugu Bali: "Wonderful Experience"

"If you are looking for a luxury hotel which upon entry you feel like you are in a warm home filled with beautiful antiques and lovely friends, stay at Hotel Tugu Bali. The rooms are beautifully decorated with wooden floors, four poster beds, day lounges, and unique lamps/dressers/etc. We stayed in room 208 which overlooks a pond filled with water lilies directly below and the ocean in view (and earshot). The room layout included a partially enclosed room with a day bed, sunken tub and seating area-a perfect area to have breakfast and/or dinner. The food was delicious-both breakfast and dinner included a variety of local options, including tasting plates. The staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. My sister took a floral arranging class with Dek, who is extremely talented and showed her how to make beautiful offerings. Massages are very good-highly recommended. Once at the hotel there is no reason to leave-it is an experience in itself. However, the hotel is located about a 2 minute walk to the beach and 2 minute walk to an area which has many restaurants and shops. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

Tugu Bali: "Superb Dining Course"

"We visited the Tugu by chance when in search for a different dining experience. Their prefixed course menu is nothing but impressive. It is certain worth the splurge. For me the most valuable was their willingness to accommodate on vegetarian options. It is recommended to book at least a day in advance. If you have a large group, they have rooms available with a rather interesting decor theme of red lights, antique and wooden carvings (picture an imperial room in Shanghai). Service is pleasant and friendly. "

Hotel Tugu Bali: "Highly commend"

"So impressed with our stay in Tugu Bali. The villa was a delight to be staying in with all its Balinese history in its decor and surroundings. First class in interior layout and cleaning services. The staff were friendly and so attentive including to the demands of an exploring toddler. Our meals were delicious and choices seemed unlimited. Japanese restaurant menu def worth exploring. The Gardens and waterways were a delight to wander around. Would highly recommend for a relaxing stay, where the mixture of calming ambience and historical treasures added to such an enjoyable atmosphere. Only minutes walk from beaches. Many thanks for memorable stay that is highly recommended to all ages."

Tugu Bali: "Fantastic hotel with lovely staff!"

We had a lovely stay at Tugu hotel Bali due to the special atmosphere of the hotel, which is actually a small museum of Indonesian art and history. The lovely staff of the hotel made us feel at home and they bring hospitality to the next level. We enjoyed the lush breakfast, which you can have at any time and place you like. Every Thursday night the hotel has a cultural evening, which is a must see with spectacular dancing. Next to the hotel is the Japanse restaurant Ji, which is great for diner or cocktails. At least you should have a look inside as there is an actual temple in the restaurant. Canggu itself is developing fast and new hotels are build in the area, Tugu hotel is gracefully adjusting to the new surroundings and can hopefully capture the unique atmosphere of the hotel in the future. Next time we visit Bali, we will definitely stay at Tugu hotel again!

Reverie Siam: "Amazing hotel"

"I don't recommend getting to Pai at night, at least not drive to there. In the night it is a bit hard to find and the hotel couldn't be found on the car navi. Other then that it was a very welcome very cosy hotel. Our room was a bit far and you can get a bit lost there but it is a part of the place magic. It reminded me a bit like Alice in wonderland with all the bushes. The room was great and clean, the ride to the city was very comfortable for those who don't have bikes there."
