Tugu Bali: "Cultural evening"
Incredible. Everyone who visits Bali (canggu) should check this out. Blown away by the dancers tonight. The skill and expertise was really amazing.. thank you tugu hotel for putting on such a wonderful evening.Glenburn Tea Estate: "An oasis in beautiful landscape"
"We stayed 4 nights here and felt this was just about right. 2 nights is just not enough for the journey in and out which is yes long and yes bumpy.. but it is an adventure.. and to be honest after reading about the road I was slightly worried. In our opinion it is not as bad as its made out to be. If you want to get away from it all and off the beaten track you have to put in some effort. Will, Faye and the team were great with exceptional levels of service given at every moment. If you like the ski chalet concept you will love Glenburn. This is a ski chalet in the foothills of the Himalayas. There is a wide variety of activity and plenty of time just to relax if you want to. One tip take good walking shoes to really enjoy the treks available. Rooms are big, unique and lovely. You could put on pounds if you ate all the food. There was plenty of it and at all times of the day. Bed tea in the mornings was a real treat. WiFi was weak but leave it behind and put it away is our best advice. We did and were so refreshed by doing so. All in all a really lovely place to stay."Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion Logo Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Old Charm and stunning Mansion"
"Stayed there 3 nights at the Shantung room on Oct 1st. Was my second time staying there and seems quite an improvement compared to the 1st probably it was from a different management back then. Happy with the service upon checking in. Shiro at the desk was friendly. Glad that we had a early check-in and no hassle of waiting for our room to be ready. All the staff are polite from housekeeping lady to the wait staff for our breakfast,the lady at the bar & the security guard at the main door. I am amazed with the selection of ala carte breakfast menu and buffet spread with the price for the the room. Wish we had time to dine and experience Indigo in the future. "Labyrinth: "Creative twist on Singapore favorites!"
"I had my eye on trying Restaurant Labyrinth for a while, but only decided to go after seeing the owner/chef profiled on the Food Heroes series (which is currently on Krisworld on Singapore Airlines). He was so passionate about showcasing a new twist on Singapore food, we had to try it. We visited on a Saturday night. All the guests appeared to be local. We tried the tasting menu. On an overall basis, the food was superb with very inventive twists to Singapore favorites. I loved the texture and the taste of Bak Chor Mee which was actually squid noodles with scallop, and also liked the Har Cheong porridge and the kaya butter toast. The beef satay however was a bit of a let down after all the other dishes as it didn't seem to have a lot of taste. Portion sizes were fine and I was very full at the end of the meal. The beverage menu was short. Service was pretty average however given the type of restaurant and prices, as was the ambiance. Overall, the restaurant was worthwhile trying for a special occasion for a unique twist on Singapore food."Villa Song Saigon: "Elegant and sophisticated"
"We loved this immaculate hotel. French colonial chic, beautiful garden restaurant on the river beautifully lit at night for great dining ambience. The food was excellent and the standard of service throughout the hotel was super-friendly and efficient. A great plus is its peaceful location on the river with great views of the city, although that means that it is a bit of a trek to the centre. However, the hotel provides a free shuttle boat which makes it an enjoyable journey, and anyway, with a hotel like this, we were more than happy to enjoy the pool and dine there. Highly recommended. Would definitely book here again. Room Tip: Go for a river view room"Reverie Siam Pai: "Absolutely amazing hotel"
"An amazing hotel set in a very quiet peaceful location next to Pai river. We were upgraded to the family villa which was one of the best rooms we have ever stayed in. The staff are very attentive but not intrusive. The breakfast was amazing with a choice of 2 courses. A wide selection of food served throughout the day with especially good tapas. We can't recommend this hotel enough and look forward the the day we return. Excellent. Would highly recommend this stunning hotel to everyone beautiful surrounding... can't wait to return.. Our best birthday ever.. thank so much Reverie Siam"Nimmu House: "Unfrogettable experience"
"We were therefrom May 12 to 15th 2017. If you like authenticity, hospitality, getting a sense about how live Laddak people, be part of a sustainable way to travel, it is THE place to be. Not a 5* hotel; you have to switch on your hot water boiler! But you will like sleeping and eating in a old, refurbished Laddaki house; seating on the terrasse under the stars and around the fire; enjoying talks with the locals. Food is excellent; and they 'll organize touring, rafting, trekking if you have not. And you will love the warming pan the staff would have put in your bed while having your diner. Just awesome! Refreshing, relaxing, out of time...... and deconnected. Do not expect a regular WiFi internet connection, but this has nothing to do with the lodge management. Local telecoms company issue!!!!"Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "A must do when in Bangkok"
"Forget the flashy neon lights and loud music from the many river cruise options available , Supanniga does it in style Lovely atmosphere, fantastic food and great service. My husband and I prebooked this cruise and I'm happy we did as it was great value for money. The views are wonderful and the pace the boat travels at is ideal for photos would highly recommend"Maduzi Hotel: "beautiful hideout"
Right in Bangkok but you feel as though you are miles away. The hotel is cute, peaceful, and the staff are very friendly and helpful Our room was spectacular and clean. The food quality and selection was very good.The Cabochon Hotel: "Intimate and tranquil boutique hotel in perfect location"
"We loved the Cabochon hotel and it's warm and friendly staff. The hotel has only eight rooms and suites in a superbly decorated French colonnial style inspired building. Wooden doors, door handles, light switches, quirky collectors items, they all are perfectly curated to add to the colonial feel. Apperently the building itself is a new structure which I only found out by realising there's no way an older wooden building would be able to carry a huge swimmingpool like the luxurious rooftoppool of the Cabocho I read another reviewer mentioning the pool as a small one. I do not know in what hotels some people might stay but the Cabochon pool is in my opinion huge! It covers the entire roof of the hotel (20-25m pool?), and is perfectly fine to do some fine swimming exercises. Another great detail which I loved is that there is no reception desk like in a regular hotel, just a tiny 'office'. From the frontdoor you step into the hallway immediately which leads to the central staircase. This also adds to the homely feel of the Cabochon. Check in is in the lounge area/Joy luck club where also breakfast is being served. You can also have your breakfast on the veranda which is great. The staff we loved. They immediately made us feel at home, spoke english well and were really helpful. Furthermore the location can't be better, at the end of a short quiet soi (alley) that leads directly to Sukhumvit Road with two skytrain stations within a five minute walk. Yes, the regular rooms are not that big but for us it just did add to the intimate feel of our stay here. It felt very special our three nights over at the Cabochon, highly recommended."
