Heritage Suites: "Really lovely"

"A fabulous boutique hotel with one of the nicest rooms/suites I have ever stayed in. The service was so friendly and yet not ingratiating. The pool setting was shaded by beautiful foliage. Food was really nice. Our whole stay was delightful."

Inle Princess Resort: "A true sanctuary with excellent attention to details"

We stayed in 4 hotels in Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay & Inle in Myanmar. They were all top-notch 5-star and 4-star hotels, but Inle Princess was by far the best among them! The hotel is located on a private canal, away from the lake, which is great, as you won't be bothered by the incessant noise from the motor boats. Once you are near the hotel, a rower comes onboard your boat and starts rowing quietly to the hotel. When you step foot on its premise, you truly enter a sanctuary. The service was intimate and personal - the restaurant staff remembered what we ate the previous night, and made a special dessert for us outside of the menu so that we do not have to eat the same thing twice in a row! The food was delicious, rivalling those of expensive restaurants in major cities. The spa rooms are huge and yet cosy. There are no TV in the rooms, but we take that positively as you really want to take advantage of the culture and activities of the hotel and Inle, to disconnect and not to be distracted

Rachamankha: "PEACEFUL OASIS"

"We spent 4 nights at the Rachamanka hotel, a small boutique hotel in Chiang Mai. The staff was very friendly & helpful. Our room was large with comfortable beds & quality linens. Bathroom amenities, including a toothbrush/toothpaste & insect repellent, were replaced daily. Breakfast was served in a beautiful courtyard, with a wood burning fire to take the chill off those cool mornings. The grounds are beautifully manicured. Antique Burmese letter chest decorate the walkways. The pool has comfortable chaise lounges with large beach towels. I would definitely stay here again. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

Babe: "Great food and great view"

"Food : we had the set dinner / omakase and it was amazing. It was nice to be surprised at every course. View : we were seated inside but we took a stroll to the outdoor seating. The view is very great. Special mention to the lady host which speaks multiple languages."

Manda De Laos: "Most treasured dinner in Luang Prabang"

"This is a highlight of any visit to Luang Prabang! We had to cancel our Romantic Menu dinner reservation at the table in the middle of the UNESCO classified Lilly Pond due to unforeseen circumstances, but Manda de Laos was kind enough to move our reservation to the following night, albeit with losing our spot on the island. No problem! They seated us on the open terrace directly adjacent to the pond - an exquisite setting! While the Amuse Bouche was a nice touch, the hors d'oeuvre raised the experience even further: Laab Moo Ping (BBQ pork balls with lemongrass and coriander), Neam Jeun (crispy spring rolls), Ping Kai (BBQ chicken) and Koi Pa (fish salad). While it would have been more of a fine dining experience to received these appetizers individually, it was still delicious. The main course consisted of Or Lam (a Laotian chicken stew with the fascinating ingredient Sakhane, which when bitten into leaves a distinct tingling sensation on the tongue!), Mok Pa (deliciously aromatic fish steamed in banana leaves), Ping Sin (buffalo steak), Ping Dook Moo (spare ribs), Pak (stir-fried vegetables, delicious!) and Khao Khati (crunchy coconut rice). For desert, we had Choux Kuay (a banana cream pie), followed by a delicious coffee. We paired with the house Chardonnay and a Syrah. Manda de Laos also included two cocktails with the menu. It was a thoroughly spectacular evening!"

Jing’s Residence: "Stunning"

An architectural gem--courtyard privacy and elegant spacious public rooms, with grand comfortable bedrooms, a management and wait staff that are friendly, helpful with great suggestions-- amazing hotel by any standard

Heritage Suites Hotel: "Respite amid the bustle of Siem Reap"

"We enjoyed our stay at the Heritage Suites. Service is top notch, with water and a cool towel in the car that meets your flight. The staff were friendly and helpful, and liked to practice their English. Our room was spacious, with a seating area separated from the bedroom by a curtain. Turndown service brought fresh water and clean towels. It was quiet and the room was secluded from other rooms. Breakfast was great, you could order everything or one thing! Everything we tried was delicious. We took tuktuk into town for dinner, there was almost always one waiting, and the front desk would call for one at peak times. While the location is a little far from pub street, we enjoyed being away from the crowds. We chose the hotel because we wanted quiet and to make sure we had a good guide to tour Angkor and the surrounding Wats. The hotel arranged our driver and guide for 2 days. Our guide, Chan spoke good English. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the temples, culture, and history from him. The driver was cordial and knew when to offer cool towels and water. We exchanged email with the hotel tour desk before our arrival to ensure we saw the key sights we were interested in. Our one suggestion would be for Chan to be a little more communicative about what was next, so we would know whether to bring snacks or water with us. "

Le Passe-Temps: "Highlight of our trip"

We were on a family holiday in Khao Thong for 2 weeks with my husband, our 2 kids, my dad and his girlfriend. We contacted Olivier via email to make a reservation for dinner. They sent through the menu and price for that night and we arranged a time for someone to pick us up. Arriving there was breath taking, the setting, the atmosphere and then that view! simply stunning! The kitchen normally doesn't open until 7.30 but they suggested serving our dinner earlier as we had 2 little kids with us. We had a cocktail on the beach while gazing at the sunset with our feet in the warm sea water, followed by a lovely dinner served family style. Portions were on the smaller side but they give many dishes so we never went home hungry. Everyone who worked there was so lovely, spoke English and French very well and so accomodating. We went back once more for dinner and one morning for paddle boarding. Will definitely consider this resort to stay at next time we come to Krabi!!!

Flower Island: "Paradise"

I've been coming back to Flower island this year and have been 5 times. The enchanting island is an amazing setting of nature at its finest. Picture perfect beach, glorious sunsets and rustic luxurious atmosphere untainted by commercialism. The almost private landscape is give you a feeling of owning an island. So many things to do from walking on a path around the island(which takes 40mins), doing the trail up to the islands peak where there is a lounge area and lighthouse, Watershorts activities, island hopping, picnic lunch by the beach and must go south sea pearl farm visit. The simple and healthy gastronomic treat presents the abundance of the sea, salads, fruits etc. I can't forget the unforgettable. memories at the island bar and you can't miss their very own caipirinha. One can't help embrace the sounds of nature as it cradles one to blissful reflections. The most special attraction is the warmth of the staff of the resort where we were all treated like family... a distinct and wonderful setting you can actually call home.

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "The best"

We stayed here for two nights and it was wonderful. The individual room is beautifully design and has their own little balcony. The food at the restaurant is excellent. The reception has a great library. It is good to know you are supporting the local community as well. One of the drawback is that given it is so ecofriendly, we kept hearing noises from various animal on our roof which disturb our sleep a little bit.
