Cuca: "A hidden gem"

You will not stumble across Cuca by accident; it's hidden on a quiet street a few hundred metres back from Jimbaran beach. We booked ahead and secured an outdoor table in the restaurant's garden, which was very peaceful and private. The food was really quite exceptional and exceeded my expectations. The plating, presentation and service rivals any fine dining experience. Please don't miss Cuca if you're in the area.

Rakkojae Seoul: "Hidden Gem"

"This was truly a hidden gem! Beautiful Hanok with modern amenities in a tucked away quiet neighbourhood yet very close ( 8 minute walk) to subway, restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. The grounds are truly magnificent! we really felt like we were back in time... so serene. We chose the traditional Korean breakfast and are so glad we did..delicious! Thank You Mr. Kim! you were truly a gracious host! We will definitely come back and have already recommended Rakkojae to our friends and family!"

Mume: "Great Food"

Good presentation and taste really delicious. Don't ever tried to walk in, must make reservation. Our group of 5 had a great time dining at Mume.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Bangkok’s best kept secret hotel"

I only knew about this hotel due to the history of the Chakrabongse family, and therefore really wanted to stay there. Quite frankly it feels that you are staying in a private house in the epicentre of old Bangkok rather than a hotel. We stayed in the garden room, and even had friends over for dinner on the terrace for one of the nights. I wish I could afford to stay here every time I am in BKK, but think I will just have to settle for when I want to treat myself (and the wife !) to something special. absolutely brilliant place to stay.

Mathis Retreat: "Great get away"

"If you're a couple looking for a quite & complete getaway from the loud to be lazy, then this is the place! Nice cozy rooms and the balcony will certainly make you feel relaxed. Having your breakfast with a panoramic view of the rice fields definitely adds value to your stay. There aren't much happening around & location may appear remote from Ubud centre, yet the shuttle service may solve your concerns. If you need ideas Karine will help you with attractions and tours, was a great idea consulting with her for our stay!"

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Good food, clean, comfortable and tranquil"

Spa water fills the hot water tubs, in which you can relax before supper. The setting is by a stunning river, with farmers working the fields. The food was of a high standard. The rooms large and comfortable. Ours had a veranda overlooking the spa pools by the river in which the local villagers come to bathe. Very polite and attentive staff. It is worth doing the day trip to see the local hill villages. They have few western visitors and are fascinating and friendly.

The Island Lodge: "Une oasis de paix et de… Gentillesse"

It's very accessible, but once there, it is happiness! The owners are absolutely adorable and attentive staff. A rare kind of envelope you. The place is beautiful. The spacious and comfortable rooms. We were told to guard against mosquitoes, it was useless. Even the mosquitoes are rare and those who cross you are safe ... even nice too. The benefits are high and the restaurant - French or Vietnamese food choice - excellent: top quality products carefully prepared. Here. Nothing to write otherwise: go for it.

Slow Villas and Spa: "You have to stay there ! Perfect"

Slow Private Pool Villas is the perfect place to stay on Gili Air ! Everything is perfect ! The breakfast, the staff, the boss, the private pool, the bed, the bathroom, the location, the hôtel ! Everything is perfect and you can book there with your eyes closed. It's a place like no other on earth. It will be an unforgetable stay !!! Waouw just go there and enjoy the life. Also it's a plce where they ban completely plastic in the Hôtel, then really good concept too ! Congratulations to all the staff and Julie.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Beautiful retreat, great staff, fabulous food!"

The Hermitage is that rare perfect mix of relaxation & activities . The spa is second to none, but also be sure to do the free yoga each morning at 8am- and book a package to include meditation and extra yoga if you can. Go to the temple trip one evening and also the plantation walk.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing safari experience"

"Where can I start?! This place is amazing!!!! The safari itself: saw every animal we were told we would, very knowledgable guides who have such a passion for the animals and are just as excited and keen to see the wildlife as the tourists are. (Praneet and Di Lanka- we love you!) amazing close encounters, comfortable jeep rides with no nausea or any feeling of discomfort at all, we were asked which location of the park we would like to visit, our wishes were always taken into account and the guys just want to please you.... And they are so genuine. A cool box with beers and soft drinks accompany you on safari. The camp: amazing well equipped tents, that are absolutely everything you need, hot shower on request, proper toilet and flush, nice clean and fresh towels, bath mat and all the little luxuries- even shampoo and shower gel are provided. Pathways lit and easy to get about, amazing bar area with bean bags, a fabulous place to chill and have a glass of wine! The food: AMAZING!!! We were pleasantly surprised by the standard of food, we have eaten in 5* restaurants, and we can genuinely, genuinely say that the camp have provided the best food we have ever tasted. A big thank you to the chef. The guys explain what everything is, how to eat it etc. The staff can cater for any dietary requirements as long as they know beforehand. We never went hungry or thirsty!! The staff: the staff are out of this world. They are so smiley, genuinely happy and want to make your experience the best it can be. Thank you to Praneet, Di Lanka and Silva for making our stay with you incredible. The facilities here are incredible, if I had children I would not have any doubts about taking them: any age, their needs would be fully met. This trip was worth every penny..... Would We go back, YES!!!!"
