Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Quiet, restful luxury"

Review by: aditishankar | Source: Trip Advisor
"Located on a beautiful stretch of beach, the Hermitage is perfect for a relaxed stay. The staff is excellent - very courteous, attentive & helpful. It was a pleasure to be able to have all our meals by the ocean as one of the restaurants is on the beach. We had a very large room & a gorgeous open-to-sky bathroom. Definitely going back! Stayed December 2016, traveled with family"

Pindaya Farm House: "Fantastic"

Review by: Alon-WalkInnIsrael | Source: Trip Advisor
It was our last day in Myanmar just before flying to Yangoon and back home. It was exactly the place we were looking for after visiting and staying at different hotels around Myanmar. The location and the big hut are magical, look and feel as if inside a legend. The warm hospitality and the great food made us feel at home. unfortunately we stayed there 1 night only. Could stay there for a week.

Rachamankha: "Absolutely perfect"

Review by: cminchina | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is a beautiful, wonderful oasis. Every single detail has been thought through in this serene, beautiful place. It whispers luxury, but - as a welcome change - doesn't shout it. I want to package it all up, and take it home! We lived in China for many, many years, and being here felt like coming 'home', only better. The Rachamankha has the ambience of a very old Chinese courtyard home/hotel, but with the convenience of a new one. I thought it WAS old, but learned that it was built in only 2004! The ornamentation (spectacular screen doors, statuary in every courtyard) is all old, though. And stunningly beautiful. You will also see a smattering of gorgeous Thai antiques adorning the walls and public areas. Don't miss the library. Or the pool. Or the outdoor, covered 'lobby' lounge area. The only disappointing thing about this lovely spot is that you have to leave it to explore the many attractions of Chiang Mai. But they're all close, and you've got this oasis to return to at the end of your day. Oh, and (I almost forgot to mention, because it really goes without saying) the service is wonderful -- unobtrusive, attentive, and friendly. Sigh. We're checking out this morning..... Enjoy!"

NEELESHWAR: "Superb"

Review by: James A | Source: tripadvisor.com
"What a wonderful place. We are not easily impressed as we have been working in the travel industry for years so have stayed in some of the top hotels of the world but Neeleshwar is exceptional. We stayed 6 nights and left regrettably so happy and relaxed. Everything was perfection!! "

Maison Polanka: "It’s even more beautiful the 2nd time around"

Review by: GalaxLee | Source: tripadvisor.com
I consider this my home in Siem Reap. Everything about this place is pure magic. From the whole ambiance and the garden, the rooms, the pool, and most of all the restaurant, everything is simply exquisite! The owner Nathalie is a sweetheart, her and her staff are one of the warmest people you will ever meet there in Siem Reap. They arrange trips for you and make sure you are taken cared of even if you are outside the premises. I love love love love Maison Polanka, I'm so grateful to have been there.

Tugu Lombok: "Sublime wedding"

Review by: 340sineadm | Source: Trip Advisor
Hotel Tugu in Lombok is absolute paradise. We had the most sublime wedding here in August 2016. The architecture and grounds are jaw droppingly beautiful and the staff are incredibly attentive. Hanny, Evi and their team did a fabulous job decorating the venue, beyond our expectations, and were on hand to attend to our every need. We got married on the beach with the ocean as our backdrop, followed by drinks and canapes in the garden and dinner on the beach. The decorations and flowers for the ceremony were simply stunning and the table centre pieces were perfect. Every detail was thought of and taken care of. The food was fantastic and we had one of the best cheese cakes I've ever tasted for our wedding cake. Our honeymoon suite was like a small apartment, with a huge bathroom and a super jumbo king size bed....that's a technical term!! The architecture, Indonesian artefacts and decor at this hotel provide endless photo opportunities, not to mention the stunning beach. If you're thinking of having your wedding here, just do it! Our guests were blown away as we were and still talk about how amazing it was.

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "Simply the best"

Review by: Cinthia L | Source: Trip Advisor
Had this short break from work few months ago, and a friend recommended Tugu as we’re familiar with the group’s restaurant in Jakarta. The stay was the highlight after spending time in Gili, meals were surprisingly good although a bit pricy, amazing location, and the service was excellent. Thumbs up for all the staff, so friendly and super helpful. Will definitely comeback next year! YEAYY

Mudanwan Villa: "養生休憩之旅"

Review by: Vigor L | Source: Trip Advisor
"沒想過在台灣也可以有這麼靜謐的享受! 在villa裡就能享受室內、室外兩種溫泉。此外也可以在湖畔邊發呆、釣魚或是沈靜在牡丹書房裡。 Stayed June 2016, traveled with family"

Rachamankha: "An Oasis of Peace"

Review by: Just-retired-couple | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I stayed for just one night at the Rachamankha hotel at the end of our wonderful holiday in Laos (courtesy of Pandaw) and Northern Thailand. It was just perfect, from the large beautiful room, to the restful swimming pool, to the bar and dining room. Its close to the main temple, and also for last minute souvenir shopping, the ""walking street"". The quality of service was outstanding, and our evening meal, just a light one, tasted amazing. I almost didn't want to write a review, as I would like this place to stay as it is, an oasis in the midst of a vibrant city. When we come back to ChiangMai, as I hope we will, this hotel will be a no-brainer of a choice."

Talabgaon Castle: "Hidden Treasure"

Review by: Dsjhala9 | Source: Trip Advisor
A little outside Jaipur this polo retreat is definitely a must visit resort. If you are a group of travellers then your search for perfect escape from city is over. From food to service to privacy this resort has everything that a traveler requires. Rooms are huge with grand bathrooms, Definitely a "Castle" that you should not miss going to.
