Arumdalu: "An Amazing Place"

Love the beach, love the service. Food gets a little expensive compared to outside. However they plant everything, from pepper to vegetables. Love the hydroponic system. Do go for the island hopping tour. it's a blast!

Chakrabongse Villas: "An oasis in the center of old Bangkok"

"Worth the extra money! AND We got a free upgrade. Beautiful Resort on the river that is a stark contrast to the busy, bustling, 'aeromatic' Bangkok streets! Right across the street from Wat Pho and a 15 minute walk to the Grand Palace. Perfect stay for our 2 days in Bangkok!!! Also served us a delicious breakfast Stayed March 2017"

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Amazing"

"Out of many places of wonderful Bali this is my personally all time favorite. We arrived to our bungalow at a magical moment while the sun was setting, extraordinary view over the rice-field and the valley. The spa is wonderful, you can get a massage in a open massage room surrounded by rice field. The food was ok but overpriced, would not recommend to eat there often. We walked up to the village above and had a wonderful time. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a Balinese stile and you can buy the art from the walls, we found out it was cheaper to buy it there than at the Seminiak market."

Talabgaon Castle: "A night with the maharajah"

Prior to my departure to India I went on their website to see what to expect and what I saw was very appealing and filled me with great expectations. These were more than realised as the reality of the place is quite simply enchanting. First there is the imposing and stylish and elegant archway that you have to go through, then the splendour of the building reveals itself with in front of it a manicured garden. After that it is sheer enjoyment of the senses as you go through courtyards, reading rooms with imposing chandelier. I felt an incredible sense of peace there helped in that respect by the most exotic room that I have ever stayed something of the Arabian nights. The staff is locally employed and will do their best for you. The food is nice. Walking through the garden it was a pleasant surprise to encounter an emu. Whilst there I would recommend the camel ride going through the village and surroundings as it gives you the chance to be up close with the villagers who will extend to you the most enthusiastic of welcome. I left this place the following day with only one regret and that is that I would have wanted to stay there a bit longer.

Mume: "Similar to Raw"

"Came here for a meal with overseas friends They don't have set meals, only a la carte. And the menu is short. There were 4 of us, and we ordered 80% of the menu. Almost every dish was spectacular - liver brulee, butter with beef fat, oysters, prawn with cheese, beef, fish etc. Service was friendly and excellent Overall similar to RAW , with slightly less hype and fame Will return"

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."

Mathis Retreat: "Quiet place in the rice fields"

"Beautiful hotel, very peacefull place. All staff are very kind. Special thanks to the manager Karine who is absolutely dedicated to her guests. Few minutes talk will make her understand exactly what you expect from your trip, and so she will advise you the best excursions and things to do. "

Maison Polanka: "A huge slice of heaven"

"This is the most gorgeous place you could ever stay in your travels. Cathy, Francis and all of the staff are incredible and make you feel like this is your home. From the moment you arrive everything is perfect - the immaculate grounds, the stunning pool, the delicious food, the beautiful rooms, every detail is considered. It's only a 5 minute tuk tuk ride from the town centre but it's far enough away that you're in peace. The staff will help to organise trips, buses, tuk Tuks when you need. Although to be honest you may well want to just stay here! That way you can indulge in as many massages as possible. There's no more building work next door so it's back to a quiet haven again. Stay here! Whatever else you do in Cambodia, stay here! As an aside, ask Cathy to put you in touch with Debbie - a fantastic nia instructor who lives nearby and runs retreats."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "A piece of paradise"

"I discovered a wild place, where nature and silence seem like paradise. Large and confortable rooms so well integrated in the nature, without hurting it. My stay was so enjoyable : place is very clean, confortable, and staff so attentive and friendly. I enjoyed relaxation, water, fine food and wines, all these brought together by the kind and competent managers Anna and Valentin, dedicated to their customers. I will return for sure, temptation is not a sin !"

Maduzi Hotel: "Sukhumvit gem"

The rooms at Maduzi are so cleverly designed and laid out - as a previous reviewer said, they feel bigger and more spacious than the square footage would predict. The decor is sleek and zen-like, giving a very restful and calm feel. The staff was lovely, particularly Boon at the front desk -- he went out of his way to help with several special requests. We loved the infinity tub and the super comfortable bed. The wi fi was also very good. The toilet in our room was situated inside a small frosted glass enclosure with a sliding door -- unusual but OK. There are some beautiful design touches in the rooms and the public areas, and the overall vibe is just soothing and nice. I've tried 6 or 8 hotels in the Sukhumvit area and this is the one I'll return to from now on.
