: "Instant Relaxation"
"This is the most gorgeous place. Each of the 12 villas are dotted around the most beautiful, lush garden. Our double deluxe villa was large with a four poster bed covered by mosquito nets. The highlight was an outdoor shower and bathtub surrounded by more lush plants. A high stone wall giving complete privacy. The infinity pool overlooking the sea was another highlight. We enjoyed the breakfast options and two for one happy hour cocktails. The sunsets are spectacular. Ms. Narin and her staff were responsive to all our needs and looked after us so well. If you're looking for complete relaxation this is the place. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Excellent"
"We went to Le Du last night and had a wonderful dinner. Everything was great: food was delicious, very creative, marrying perfectly the modern cuisine with a Thai touch. The chef also put an accent on using sustainable products. The wine list is very complete with lots of ""bio"" wine, probably a personal selection from the chef/sommelier, the price is very reasonable. The service was dynamic, friendly though precise and professional with staff speaking very good English. The young talented chef had successfully ""imported"" the modern fine dining concept from USA to Bangkok and made of Le Du unmissable on Bangkok culinary scene."Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Perfection"
"This was one of our favorite places that we stayed on our 3 week tour of Thailand. We loved the private beach; the layout of the rooms and the wonderful food and drinks. However, what absolutely made this hotel was the staff. They were so friendly and accommodating and took Thai hospitality to a whole another level. It rained the entire time we were on Koh Samui, flooding even, and we wouldn't have changed a thing because Sea Dance still made our trip perfect! Thank you to Poy, Tum, Chef Toy, David and the rest of our friends at Sea Dance! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"Pindaya Farm House: "Peaceful Place"
We really enjoyed our one-night stay here. It was peaceful, relaxing, and the food was so tasty and fresh! The room was clean (a space heater would have been useful!) and our little balcony gave a great view of the sunset and surrounding hills. Lovely!Reverie Siam: "Perfect Hotel in Pai"
"This hotel is very nice and charming. We stayed on a villa. The room is quite big with spacious bathroom with jacuzzi inside. You have a very nice garden view from your jacuzzi tub. It's like an open-air bathroom but closed with glass window. Very comfortable bed and day bed. You have your own balcony with private back yard. It's fantastic! You have a very generous breakfast here: 1 main dish, 1 sweet dish and 2 beverages. I Iove the decoration of every corner of the hotel. Staffs here are very polite and friendly. They are very well trained! Big thanks to the management team and all staffs. Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"The Village House: "Our Borneo Adventure"
Stayed here for 2 nights during our adventure. Excellent accommodation very clean, Air conditioned. Nice and peaceful (until call to pray which is quite loud). Lovely pool nice and cooling. Lovely place away from all the hustle and bustle. Staff very attentive and helpful. Food was good breakfast pancakes were fabulous !!Rachamankha: "Beautifully designed courtyard hotel"
This is a small uniquely designed hotel with rooms around two inner courtyards on a side street on the western side of the old city. The rooms are impeccably decorated with Thai and Chinese furniture and small art objects. There is a pool at the back of the property, which was nice on a hot day (aren't they all in Thailand??!). The hotel is walking distance to many of the most famous temples in the old city. The restaurant is excellent, especially dinners, which also featured light Thai musical accompaniment in the background. Staff was excellent and helpful throughout our stay.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "history"
"If you want that historical experience then this is the place to get it. there is no luxurious Hilton Hotel room but the charm & historical feeling is all worth it. The room is enormous & the bathroom although has modern shower taps the decor is from the era long gone. service is great & the food was good as well. Breakfast was included & consisted of buffet of fruit & cereals & a la-cart hot breakfast & first time I had a hotel say to me after I had finished my breakfast ""have you had enough, would you like some more?"" The house is also a museum & has daily tours & is very interesting to learn about the history of the house. its close to a lot of attractions including the wharfs & a short distance to all the famous Panang street wall paintings & art. Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Unexpected luxury in a remote area of Myanmar"
Mrauk Oo, in Rakhine State, with its interesting pagodas and stupas is slowly becoming a tourist destination. Nevertheless, the tourists you see there are still few and therefore we didn't expect any particularly nice hotel. We where very surprised when arriving at Princess Hotel we discovered a large extension of gardens and small lakes with bungalows hiding under the high trees and a central building with a nice restaurant. We spent 3 nights there with few other tourists and were very happy to be there, it added a lovely experience to the extremely interesting visits of the archeological sites.Summertime Villa: "Serene getaway for the discerning family"
I was tempted to book 3-4 rooms at a 5 star hotel for our family getaway. Then a good friend of mine suggested that I try Summertime and I am super glad I did. This is probably the best run vacation home in Goa-- the service is excellent, discreet and non-intrusive. The rooms are spacious and furnished with great Balinese...
