Tugu Lombok: "Fantastic"
"I left Tugu hotel today and I must say it beat all expectations. The Rooms are beautiful, the food is amazing and service unbeatable. I was not expecting anything like this. There are 35 rooms, I think 22 were occupied when I was there but it felt like the hotel was empty (which is great). They organised a lovely snorkelling trip for us and a visit to the waterfalls. Unfortunately words can't do justice to the impeccable service and beautiful setting. If you are looking for a party hotel this is not it. But if you are looking for peace and quiet, there is nowhere else to go. "Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "One of our favourite experiences in Sri Lanka"
"We were in Sri Lanka for a month and our overnight safari camp with Leopard Safaris was a real highlight of the whole trip. The accommodation was real luxury camping (glamping) with electricity in the tents including a phone, fan, lighting and torches. The toilet and shower tents were clean, the toilet was a western style one and we had hot water for our evening shower. What a treat! The food was delicious – some of the best we ate in Sri Lanka. The staff were excellent and really looked after us. The whole layout of the camp was great with a nice lounge area with drinks and comfortable seating as well as dining area where you could chat to other guests and the staff. We really enjoyed chatting to Saj who was clearly passionate and deeply knowledgable about his work with animals. The safari itself was great fun. We had bad weather while there but still managed to see an array of wildlife including a leopard. We had two game drives during our stay with a ranger and a driver in the car to help us spot wildlife. Excellent experience all round. Thoroughly recommended.

Fell in love with this hotel as soon as I arrived and had to sit in the magnificent library for a while to wait until my room was ready. This hotel reminded me of a smaller version of Raffles in Singapore. Great attention to detail, superb breakfast, friendly staff and spacious rooms. Loved the pool on top of the residence and had a great meal at the restaurant. Location is superb with close proximity to BTS and other excellent restaurants at Rain Hill.Maison Polanka: "Fine Details"
Excellent Service and details, the hotel is near the center and is and oasis , it is very personalized and they really make you feel special , food is really good and they take care of the guide and transportationMie Cafe: "A Gem of a Restaurant"
"Amid the cicadas and frogs (they have their own pond, is a superbly done fusion dining experience. Clever dishes that are not overly complicated, good portion sizes and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the frogs legs, the burrita was amazing as was the local Lak Lak beef dishes (a local take on steak au poivre - though this is an injustice). Finished with a refreshing frozen like pie. With attentive staff, this made for a relaxing Sunday in Siem Reap. Any gripes? Nothing major - sometimes service seemed too attentive if there is such a thing and I mean they tend to over check if you're finished on a course."MesaStila: "Perfect place to find peace"
"I recently had a solo stay at MesaStila and loved every minute of it. The villas are spread out amongst a coffee plantation so you get a real sense of privacy. The villas are huge and well appointed. Service by all staff members is excellent. The spa and Hammam are amazing. The food is healthy and good. I really couldn't fault any aspect of my stay. Stayed November 2016, traveled solo"Tugu Malang: "A real jewel"
With a collection of Javanese and Chinese art to make a museum jealous and good rooms, pool, and food - what more could you want. Staff friendly and helpful. The afternoon tea with delicious and unusual Javanese sweet dishes was delicious. Would gladly stay againThe Island Lodge: "Perfect Place for relaxing holidays"
"We stayed 2 nights in this hotel and everything was perfect. The rooms are beautiful with a nice view on the Mekong river. The breakfast is just delicious. The pool is perfect if you want to relax with the view on the Mekong river. The staff is really friendly and the owners will make everything for you to just feel like being at home. We did some excursions with the hotel and it was also very nice. They have bicycles with child seat, which is perfect. We will definitely come back. Sylvia"Maisons Wat Kor: "Gorgeous place to relax and have great food"
Gorgeous place, with tastefully decorated traditional Khmer houses around a pond filled with waterlillies. Excellent food, cosy chillout corners and a saltwater pool. The place is run by a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable Cambodian couple. It is a 10 minute tuktuk ride from the town center, or a pleasant walk.Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Best place in Nepal to relax and enjoy the scenery and environment"
What kept me going on the tough 14-day trek up to Lo Mantang in Upper Mustang was the promise of relaxing and recovering in the peace and quiet of TM's Pokhara Lodge. My four days up at the hilltop lodge, with its chirruping birds and fluttering butterflies, fabulous views of icing sugar mountains in the mornings and twinkling lights at night, were wonderfully restoring. This was my third visit and, as ever, the staff were so caring and the comfort and cleanliness, delicious meals and drinks were just as I had remembered. And I really enjoyed the good company of Marcus and the other guests. Thank you to you all for looking after me and for making me feel very special on my birthday. Staying at your lodge sums up everything I love about Nepal.Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
