Dewakan: "WOW"

A wow moment. A creative cuisine with local inspiration and pure/natural ingredients. Tasteful and delighful. Decor and music are in sync with the food. Humble. Accessible and reasonable price. Good for business, great for couple. Not to be missed in KL.

The Island Lodge: "Calm, quiet and very very nice"

"This is a secret paradise with french couple Michel and Francoise being the perfect hosts. Service is extremely friendly, present and polite. Rooms are clean and very very cosy all having a great view over pool and the river. "

NEELESHWAR HERMITAGE: "Idyllic Ayervedic break by the Arabian Sea"

This is a wonderful place to rejuvenate: attractive, comfortably furnished cottages, welcoming & helpful staff, excellent food prepared by highly skilled chef, superb treatments organised to address specific needs all set in a beautiful location. Excellent library. Great trips & events e.g Theyam, birdwatching, ashrams & temples.

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "A thousand stars"

"My family (me hubby 7 year old) just had the most amazing experience with Noel and Cecile and all the staff. The campsite was clean. Beautifully eco friendly and in a perfect setting. Our tent (we went luxury) was so comfortable I wish we could have spent so many more days there. The important thing is the way that Noel and his Drivers are knowledgeable and care so much for the environment. Unlike other cowboy jeep safaris. Their jeeps are quiet. They don't race around to chase the animals. They know what to look for. We had some amazing sightings. But it is nature so no expectations! The evenings were spent swapping tales with others. Our daughter loved the whole experience. Food was incredible Would love to go back! "

Inle Princess Resort: "A few suggestions"

"I don't need to say much more about the quality of this hotel or the beauty of its location. Go to Myanmar. Go to Inle Lake. Stay at the Inle Princess. Here, though, are a few tips for those who do follow the directives above: 1. Take advantage of the complimentary shoe shine. 2. There really isn't any charge for the beer in the mini-bar. 3. The hotel leaves earplugs in the room (presumably for those whose sleep might be disturbed by frogs and lizards). You may not need the earplugs during the night, but hold onto them, because they are very useful on the boats, which have very loud outboard motors. 4. The boat tour of the lake is essential. Make sure to include a visit to a local market. The basic boat tour lasts for one day, but it is a very long day (especially if you start with the market), so you should consider splitting the tour and doing it over two days. 5. When you visit the village of the silversmiths, avoid the large shop at the entrance to the village -- the one with the tiny workshop staffed by ""brothers"" who play with their cell phones until a tourist boat arrives and a large showroom stuffed with overpriced silver that must come from China. 6. The artisanal workshops on the village side of the hotel are definitely worth a visit. 7. Eat the Shan noodles for breakfast -- order them the evening before."

Tugu Malang: "A unique museum hotel"

I was staying here after a long motor ride from Surabaya and spoiled myself with all the beautiful interior furniture that has been chosen carefully. Some vintage and antique wall wood working and painting make this hotel looks like a museum with all the art being put there. Every room and chamber has its own design. Mixture between Javanese, Balinese wood furniture and old colonial building. A unique bathroom with vintage stainless bath tub and sink, also nice packaging of the amenities put another credit for this hotel. Some of the room is made for a real museum with all the ancient chinese ceramic pottery, bronze sculptures, silver dining set, small statue aged hundreds years which decribe the owner must be a filthy rich collectors. But I don't really like the part of the hotel which made as mediteranian middle east concept that seems bland and unmatch comparing to the other parts of the hotel. In the afternoon they serve various local tea and coffee, herbal drink and traditional snack for free for the guest staying in the hotel. Overall, I am quite satisfied staying there even only one night. Worth the value of money.

Locavore: "Lives up to its reputation"

Fine food, delicate flavours, perfect preparation, beautiful presentation, impeccable service. We had 5 courses with matched alcohol (note not wine but you could have wine if preferred). A must for those who love fine food.

MesaStila: "Nostalgic"

"My family came across this wonderful ""pit stop"" many years ago during our land trip from Yogyakarta to Semarang. Back then it was still called Losari Coffee Plantation. And as a city kid, I was entranced by the natural environment and rustic Javanese environment/architecture of the resort. My family have not had the pleasantry to stay in the Villa's as both my grandparents lived in between (us passing by happened during Indonesian national holidays) yet, but we always made sure to have a lunch break on their Restaurant when possible. The scenery from the restaurant (and swimming pool) itself is a treasure not to be forgotten. The same goes for the food and service. Never in my many experience coming here had I ever had a sullen or non friendly staff aiding my short stay. Never had the food ever disappointed me either. I'm no coffee expert, but even as a child I had loved their roasted coffee beans + palm sugar condiments, it is to die for! (Available from August - Sept according to the nice lady by the Gallery). As for my latest visit, I had the pleasure to devour their absolutely delicious ""Starfruit Salad"", perfect for the summer! And lets not forget their ""Udang Bakar Madu"", that one menu I still remember from my earliest visit. Perhaps my next visit can be the spa / the villa :)"
