Sukoon Houseboat: "Sukoon… Peace of mind"
"Happened to stay at sukoon for one night. Houseboat is located in one corner of dal lake and it rightfully earns it's name ""sukoon"". All I can hear was birds chirping, occasional ripples of water caused due to shikara and ofcourse my baby girl commenting in her coded language. You will find an amazing team who amongst themselves can communicate in total 10 Indian languages. Give a free hand to chef Anand who can experiment and amaze you with his culinary skills. Try Kashmiri bread with butter and apple cinnamon jam. For travellers who would like to watch TV this place would disappoint you as in principle it's against the theme. For history lovers make sure to read a letter from the office of Neil Armstrong dated 1972. A vote of thanks to tariq, kiran, azad and Anand for their wonderful hospitality. "The Cabochon Hotel: "Unique interiors charming staff"
Our room was spacious and unique in interior design. The staff were charming and very helpful. Hotel is small and has the feel of a private club. Good location near major shopping centers and the train.Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Breathtaking views & impeccable service"
"Walking up the stairs, with Fishtail right in front of you is a great introduction to your stay. The service is exceptional, matched by the quality of the rooms and the views! We did a walk through the village, with out great guide, who was able to give us very interesting insights. An all round amazing experience, would highly recommend."Manda De Laos: "Amazing restaurant"
This is the most beautiful restaurant that we've been. Very nice set up with a beautiful garden. Relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The food is so delicious and tasty with traditional flavor.Tandjung Sari: "Lovely experience"
"Our stay at Tandjung Sari was wonderful We were looked after very well by the beautiful staff at this special Hotel. Our room was perfect, with a comfortable bed and an delightful outdoor shower. Breakfast each morning was very good with enough options to have something different each day. If you are looking for a place on a beautiful beach to unwind, relax and be completely spoiled then this is the place for you. Tandjung Sari is so much more than a hotel. We will be back!"Chakrabongse Villas: "Stay in a prince’s palace"
This was built in the 19th century by a Thai prince. It's on a busy street and right next to the river. Once you get behind the gates, it's your own private palace. Pool, garden, decks overlooking the river. I think there are only about 9 rooms. It's pricey, but worth it. Our dinner was about a 7-course meal (prix-fixe), each one a delicacy. Took off my shoes at the gate and wandered around the rooms and gardens for all three days we were there.Manda De Laos: "Amazing"
What an amazing venue. Such an experience to eat fantastic food in such stunning surroundings and for less than Michelin star dining in London. Beats any restaurant I have been in by far. Cannot wait to go back there.Flower Island: "Perfect away from it all"
From the journey to the Island and everything during our stay to the time we had to leave was simply amazing. The fantastic approach by boat, the welcome, the staff, the food, the serenity, the views, snorkelling, canoeing, the beach, the bar, the rooms and the dog. We absolutely loved the whole experience. No TV, WiFi, unless at the reception, traffic, hustle and bustle. A most perfect few days of sheer basic bliss in simple true rustic charm. Total chill out. We will be back, for longer next time!Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Exceptional"
It is impossible to describe Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge. The scenery is breath taking, the food deliciously superb, the ambiance and staff first class. As a disabled person I (Allan) greatly appreciated having the bungalow closest to the main building. Marcus and his staff could not have been kinder or more considerate. Wish we could have stayed longer. As we are not exactly in the first flush of youth, it is unlikely that we will visit Nepal again but if we do we will certainly visit Tiger Mountain again. We wish Marcus and his team every success for the future. Sandra and AllanMrauk U Princess Resort: "What a Way to Ring in the New Year"
"The Princess is a gem in Mrauk Oo. The facilities are lovely and utilize the beauty of its location. The staff are wonderful, welcoming, and truly a delight to be with at the resort. We were there for New Year's Eve and they outdid themselves with an exceptional outdoor feast. A fixed menu that never seemed to end with each course yummier than the one before it. A fabulous start to the new year. A lovely spa as well. Enjoy!"
