4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A night to remember <3 <3 <3"
"I stayed at 4 rivers three weeks ago but I can still remember how amazing the place is. It was a long drive but when you reached the 4th bridge which the reception is located you will be amazed by the surroundings . I'm typically not a nature lover but when the boat started to pass by the river surrounded by mountains it took my breath away :D When I arrived at the resort the staff and crew gave me a very warm welcome . The resort facilities are outstanding .You’ll get the chance to use the kayak and fishing rod for free. also love the library which has a good collection of books and even board games for kids and kids at heart . The manager (Adonis) is so approachable and very kind not only to the guest but also to his staff. 4 RIVERS is the PERFECT PLACE to unwind and be with nature :D Looking forward on coming back there sooonnnnnnn!!! :D"The River Resort: "Peaceful Retreat facing the Mekong"
"Only 30mn from Pakse airport... right on the Mekong with a small island in the river in front of the resort. Huge land with trees, their own rice fields and gardens all around. It's a refill of oxygen to stay there. Excellent staff and friendly service under the supervision of Ton, the GM. I recommend to wake up early and admire the sunrise on the mekong from your balcony. Great restaurant also, with very generous portions Definitely recommended for people looking for a quiet and green environment and who enjoying activities in nature: walks, bike, boat trips..."Arumdalu: "A hidden getaway that’s definitely worth a visit"
The combination of the friendly hotel staff members, luxurious villa, private beach, excellent food exceeded all our expectations of the place. The beach was nice enough for us to skip the island hopping tours couldn't get enough of the cool breeze, turquoise waters and fine sand. Would suggest visitors to stay a night at belitung city to soak in what the town has to offer then proceed to Arumdalu. This will save you the hassle of travelling to and fro the resort and the main town area as its almost a 1.5hr drive each way.Reverie Siam: "Bucolic Bliss"
Following a vertigo-inducing drive through the precipitous one-lane highway from Chiang Mai to Pai we were greeted effusively by the staff at Reverie Siam. Check-in was pleasantly brisk and we were whisked away to our villa. Rather than succumbing to any ephemeral breezes of fashion the hotel's owners have brilliantly transformed this tranche of Pai into a Curacaoan hideaway, circa 1920, complete with orange cobble stone walkways, vintage street lamps and impeccable landscaping. Our villa, with its double antique doors overlooking the rugged mountain landscape and the continuously evolving dramatic skies, was intelligibly designed with a panoply of accoutrement accentuating the hotel stylistic essence. Being lit only by the crepuscular gloam the private terrace overlooking the gardens was ideal for a late-afternoon aperitif. Reverie Siam's executive chef, Dustin Joseph, perhaps more aptly described as a gastronomic savant, has created an inspiring culinary program based on his years of international food exploration. The modest-and almost insultingly inexpensive-menu features mostly local fare harmoniously fused with premium western ingredients. The wine list offers a handful of decent labels however there are plans of expansion in the near future... A veritable riparian gem amidst Thailand's northern luscious landscapeMume: "Always amazing"
I've been a couple of times in this high level restaurant, the taste and the visual are extremely precise. I love it, a must do in TaipeiCuca: "Stunning – Bali at its best"
This is worth the visit no mater how far u need to travel. Try and sit at the bar and watch the staff cooking preparing with loveThe Island Lodge: "Little Paradise in My Tho (Mekong Delta)"
"I love this place at the first step I walked in. Every details are extremely taken care and bring you the feeling like you're at home. Very quite, very peaceful. Food is good (especially the bread). Staff are great. Pool is superb. Everything makes my stay perfect. Thank you so much, Michel, you made everything even more wonderful. Will back again."Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Da non perdere"
"Visitare Mrauk è stato meraviglioso! Un po' laborioso da raggiungere (volo di un'ora e un quarto da Yangon fino a Sittwe e poi un'ora e mezza di barca veloce), ma ne vale assolutamente la pena! Da poco raggiunto dal turismo, è un posto ancora autentico e con un'atmosfera incredibile! Nei vari monasteri e pagode ci è spesso capitato che fossero i monaci o i turisti birmani a chiederci di fotografarci! Non c'era mai capitato nonostante i tantissimi viaggi! Il resort ha una bella atmosfera e il ristorante è ottimo. Particolare la piscina galleggiante nello stagno circondata da fiori di loto! Ottima anche la SPA: super massaggi! Molto grandi e confortevoli i cottages completamente in teak. Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"Jing’s Residence: "Luxury hotel in the middle of an ancient walled city"
"Stayed here for two night during our tour of China. Unexpectedly luxurious hotel in the middle of Pingyao - also very expensive particularly when compared to any other hotel in Pingyao. Having said the above the service was faultless and the hotel was clean and comfortable - which considering the coal dust in the air must have taken some doing. Breakfasts were OK but the evening meals were very good indeed."Slow Villas and Spa: "Just perfect"
"On our 3 weeks roundtrip through Bali and Lombok my girlfriend and me have stayed 3 nights at Slow Private Pool Villas and it was supposed to be the highlight of our trip. To shorten the story: The Slow was even better than expected! Our private villa was surrounded by a huge and nicely planted garden. The pool was just awesome - perfectly clean and bigger than expected. Furniture, tapware and decoration were beautiful and definitely chosen with a huge amount of passion for the details. The staff was always friendly and helpful - no matter if we wanted to go diving, book a snorkeling trip or had some other questions: there's nothing they can't help you with in order to have the perfect time at Gili Air. The breakfast is definitely another highlight. It's getting served at your Villa at your preferred time and tastes delicious! We can't wait to come back next year! But then for longer than 3 nights. :)"
