Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Quiet calm by the Sea"

"What a perfect place to unwind. Located by the beach in beautiful natural gardens. Delicious seafood sitting under palm trees and candlelight. Eagles soar above and herons wade in the nearby lagoon. The spa is professionally run in its on quiet oasis. The rooms in individual bungalows have private bathrooms with partly open skies so we shares ours with a very charming obliging bright green frog who hopped off under the palm tree when we entered! The Lotus Boat which is part of this hotel is situated on the backwaters 10 minutes away. We spent two nights aboard in wonderful luxury (with air conditioning in the bedroom) and a staff of 4 who looked after every request."

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."

Manda De Laos: "Has the Wow factor"

"From the street it at night there are no clues to what you will find when you enter this restaurant, right before you is the most beautiful lotus pond gently illuminated with dining tables nicely spaced around the edge. Stylish, romantic and impressive even before the food arrives which is a creative twist on local dishes with great presentation attentive without being obtrusive service which made for a quite delightful evening. Go on treat yourself........."

Muang La Lodge: "Improbable et parfait"

"Trouver un endroit aussi beau et avec une restauration aussi étonnante, dans cette ville, c'était assez improbable. Et pourtant.... L'accueil du manager Raphaël est très chaleureux, le staff est là pour vous donner plus que ce que pouviez espérer. On est très vite bien, même très bien dans ce petit coin de paradis. Mais rien est dit tant qu'on est pas passé à table. Là aussi, on peut se lâcher sur le superlatifs. OK, on le sait, au Laos on mange très bien. Mais là, c'est encore un ton au dessus. On ne peut dire que Bravo, au site, au staff, au restaurant, et à Raphaël qui font que, grâce à eux, au moment du départ on espère très vite y revenir. Une dernière pensée pour Raphaël et le village de Beaufort (France) qui fait partie de nos plus beaux souvenirs d'enfance."

The Tiger’s Eye: "Excellent unique food made with passion and great care + Fantastic service"

"After being recommended to attend the restaurant, I was impressed at the outset with the customer service from my phone communications with Timothy (chef) and Nick (manager). As a vegetarian with the exception of chicken, I wasn't impressed with the dinner menu, but after being lured there for dinner I was amazed with the food I ate. It was the first posh restaurant I have experienced in my life where the small quantities of food actually filled me up, making the price great value for money. I also loved how non-exciting menu descriptions resulted in explosions of flavour in my mouth making it a very unique eating experience. I had a starter, main and dessert. The carefulness in thought of what to have in each dish was very evident from the moment each dish I received came with a detailed explanation of what was in it. Myself and my guests were equally surprised with how great everything tasted, particularly when we were reluctant to try non traditional desserts. Each dish we ordered came in a different designed plate, contributing to the clear message that all aspects of the dining experience have been carefully thought. Similarly, the drinks also exceeded expectations. I loved the smoothies and my guests, who requested cocktails to be conjured up based on their preferred tastes, loved what they received. Each drink we ordered came in a different vessel, adding to the excitement of experiencing the unknown. I'm told the dinner menu will change each week, making this a place to visit regularly if it is within one's budget. I also went for brunch a few days later and enjoyed their pancakes. If you love North American pancakes, then it is a dish worth checking out. If I had to give any criticism, it would be to provide a greater selection of vegetarian and chicken dishes for the dinner menu. But, overall, I'm really really glad I went here despite my initial reluctance, and I know my guests had an amazing time too."

Reverie Siam: "Honeymoon"

"My wife and I stayed at this hotel when visiting Pai for 2 nights. The service was brilliant as were the rooms. The facilities were great. 2 nice pool areas and the resteraunt alone is well worth a visit. We ate dinner there one night which was reasonably priced. We went for the tapas which was delicious however on the second night we sampled street food on walking street where there are many food vendors and nice little hippie bars where we sampled drinks and cocktails which were good too. The Main Street in Pai is in walking distance from hotel around 10 mins however the hotel offer free transport in a tuk tuk too and from the hotel. We wouldn't hesitate to use the hotel again if we returned to Pai However there are many stray dogs around Pai but don't be alarmed. They barked a bit but seemed to stay away and let you be "

Reverie Siam Pai: "Stunning views & décor"

My husband and I stayed at Reverie Siam as part of our honeymoon trip to Thailand, and we have continued to rave about our stay there. Everything about this resort is beautiful--from the views of the mountains to the decorations in the rooms. The resort has a very relaxing atmosphere, and the staff couldn't be more helpful. If you are traveling in Thailand, don't miss the chance to stay here.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Great place"

The pier is the star attraction, best place in Kep to experience sunset and because of the small amount of rooms available the resort is never crowded, there are always available beds around the pool. All in all affording a feeling of exclusivity rarely experienced at larger resorts.

Tugu Bali: "Beautiful Tugu"

There is a delightful languor that hangs over the Hotel Tugu. Canggu is laid back and beachy and casual but the hotel exists in its own little bubble of languid splendor. It takes a little while to surrender yourself to the requisite level of sensual abandon to truly appreciate the place, but try. A cup of ginger or cinnamon tea served in a celadon green tea cup on the veranda whilst you nibble delicious Balinese sweets, a swim in the sparkling pool adorned with fountains or (if you are lucky enough) a refreshing plunge in your own private pool, a long shower or soak in your semi open-air bathroom, while the carp in the adjoining pond look on, a short nap in the enormous four poster teak bed followed by an Arak Exotica as the sun sets over the beach and you should be suitably in the zone. If you are feeling moderately adventurous you can wander around the grounds and appreciate the architecture, art and antiques or poke around the cool, dark museum shop for treasures. It's a gorgeous, delightful, sexy place. I was well looked after.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Excellent Isan food"

"Here is a place to go to enjoy real Isan Thai food. We have been there several times already and tried many different dishes. All are freshly made, tasty, not too spicy if you do not forget to mention and nicely presented ... A very good option if you want to discover and change from other traditional Thai food. Very good service too!"
