The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Essential to enjoying Bangkok"

"Firstly i want to say that if you are hesitating booking the hotel - just do it you wont regret it. the experience of staying at the cabochon was incredible from start to finish. I am a designer so the quirky, well curated and amazing decor is what pulled me towards the hotel in the first place. once arriving we were kindly greeted with fresh coconuts as our room was prepared. every single detail of this hotel is intoxicating, rich, full of love and history and the staff and management are perfection. my husband and i got the room with a tub and balcony and it was a perfect sanctuary in the heart of a bustling, busy caotic city. it allowed us to be enomored with some of the finer details of the city, and feel at home. beds are super comfy, food at the restaurant is amazing, reasonably priced and the breakfast is beautifully presented and delicious. rooftop pool is so perfectly situated, to cool down after city exploration and enjoy the metropolitan view. i have not one negative thing to say about this establishment - it is exactly how all boutique hotels should be done. we enjoyed out stay so much that we booked it for our return back to Canada ( we had one day left in Bangkok before heading home) we couldn't have imagined staying anywhere else"

Satri House: "Peaceful oasis in Luang Prabang"

"Recently spent 4 nights at the Satri House and can't say enough good things about this place. Where to begin: 1. Property is gorgeous. Because few rooms, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. And the pool is set in a magical setting 2. Rooms our spacious and very clean 3. Free access to bikes and loved riding into town everyday 4. Great breakfast 5. Lovely staff. Helped us organize tours in Luang Prabang. Must go to waterfall and Mekong river cruise. Both highlights"

Cuca: "Exceptional!"

"This was easily ranked one of, if not, the best meals we've had in Bali. The property sits on a beautiful idyllic garden surrounded by coconut trees. It has an open concept kitchen and I diners sat by the kitchen counter. Service was excellent, in fact, more than excellent. So much attention to details without being intrusive. Food was an explosion of Flavours. I'm not going to list what we ate but everything we had was amazing. It's the first time I went to a restaurant and not take pics of the food as pics will not justify the experience. Like it says in the menu, come with an open mind and an empty stomach! Totally worth it!"

Jing’s Residence: "Outstanding Hotel"

This is a wonderful oasis of an hotel in one of China's most impressively preserved walled cities. Really beautiful rooms, with a lovely common living area, immaculately kept, elegantly decorated. The food (and local wine!) was delicious and the staff very polite, attentive and helpful. You feel as though you are living in one of Zhang Yimo's earlier historical films (without the drama!). If there was a sixth star, I would have given it!

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "Lombok at its best"

"Rooms can be beautiful, beaches pristine clear, food excellent (and all of this was), but what makes an hotel stands out from the rest is its staff! I do not know when and if I shall return to Tugu Lombok but it has made a mark in my travel experiences! Everything eas just so perfect and the last night surprise when we returned to the room way so thoughtful. We just felt genuinely welcomed as guest and not just customers! We leave this hotel with a feeling I have very rarely felt in all my travels! Thank you Tugu hotel Lombok"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Restaurant Jewel in Yangon, Myanmar"

After 3 visits for dinner I am still amazed that this fine dining restaurant is so close to us in Yangon. My husband and I will surely access it from the Lake Inya side in our kayaks soon, but coming by car works well too. The owners are Swiss and the standards of food and service are impeccable. The food is international, utilizing local ingredients to offer a blend of Burmese and European specialities. Their tasting menus, with or without wine, are a gastronomic joy and as a pescaterian I am thrilled by the choices of fish entries and fresh produce. Sitting by the Lake with a cocktail at sunset is very romantic so this restaurant is the best choice for couples. We even saw a wedding party there recently. Definitely worth the effort to get there!

Amata Lanna: "Best place to stay in Chiang Mai"

We loved this hotel!!! We booked it because it looked "Thai" in it's decoration etc. It did not disappoint! It is on a quieter street, but still so close to the night market and good restaurants. The pool is smaller, but located inside the hotel's peaceful courtyard. The staff were so kind and attentive. Honestly, this is such a great hotel. I would book immediately if you can. It is smaller, so I'm guessing as word gets out how wonderful it is, that it will sell out fast. Take my advice and stay here when you are in Chiang Mai!!

Manda De Laos: "excellent dinner"

Wonderful dinner with a beautiful backdrop of the pond. Food was fantastic. The chili coconut soup was a real treat. We also ordered the buffalo and duck mains which were really good as well. Service was helpful and very attentive. Definitely recommended, will be back.

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Outstanding"

"From arriving at the jetty and throughout our stay everything was just perfect. The rooms are very nice, food at the restaurant delicious and service is very friendly and professional. Guided by the teachers of the Vocational Hospitality School students try to outdo each other. Nearly 50 students attend the school, a wonderful project by the non-profit Inle Heritage Foundation. Proceeds from the hotel, the restaurant, the gift shop are used to offer free education to people from the region and further away, carefully selected by their capacity to meet the demands of the hospitality business. The school is considered a benchmark in the area and beyond, the efforts of the foundation are to be admired. Many thanks to all the staff (Min, Thazin, Naing Win, Ye Wint, just to mention a few who's names we remember) for a wonderful stay. Stayed October 2016, traveled with family"

The Island Lodge: "Mekong trip or Saigon escape? This is your place"

"When you arrive on the small road you may wonder if you got lost, in fact you just found a secret gem! Beautiful surroundings (pool and river on one side, gorgeous garden on the other side) Tasteful design and decoration everywhere around Lovely and helpful team Nice mix of Vietnamese and French food Large choice of activities/tours to visit the area by boat, bike or scooter. We will definitely be back for the Mekong and for the Hotel!"
