Rachamankha: "Best choice in Chiang Mai"
"Located in the old town, next to the main temples (actually one of the most famous temples, Wat Pra Singh is next door). Very quiet location, perfect to escape after a long day of sightseeing. Very nice decor, very classy. Spread out, small (only 25 rooms), very quiet all over, you can really relax. Nice rooms (I recommend the deluxe rooms as they are much bigger and nicer). Also the library, the pool area, the spa are nice. Very friendly and nice staff. They do their best to accommodate you. For me best option in town - classy and quiet (it used to be a Relais & Chateau before)"Sandat Glamping Tents: "A truly magical place"
"Ubud and its surroundings are full of Swanky five star hotels and retreats but if you want to experience something truly magical head to Sandat, you won't regret it! Set amid the rice fields this quixotic resort that defies definitions is truly stunning: you'll be able to choose among some luxury tents (more on this later) or three of the lumbungs, traditional Balinese rice barns that have been conceived as spacious apartments. We stayed in one of the tents, actually a lovely structure built with high tech materials that will just about separate you from the adjacent rice field and the forest in front of you. I always hated camping and this is nothing like that: you'll find yourself in a five star room with all amenities and comforts (wooden floors, stylish furniture, comfy bed), don't be put off if, like me, camping is not for you! Every tent has its own private plunge pool and sun chairs. At all time you are far away from indiscreet eyes and the staff will always announce their presence before coming anywhere near your place. Mind that this is also an eco resort and they made the conscious decision not to have aircon (yet the tent was very fresh) or television (but wifi and plenty of books and magazines are available). Longest review I've ever posted on tripadvisor, yet it's not over. (...)Enjoy the tropical garden and be amazed to find out that all the lush plants are just two years old. What else can I say? If you don't mind spending the extra dollar and you are looking for a true memory then Sandat is the ideal place for you!"The Island Lodge: "WOW this place is ‘out of this world"
its virtually brand new,.......everything is spotlessly clean.........very well organised with excellent staff. food is delicious ( well its french so thats obvious !) the setting is idyllic and peaceful and the french owners/hosts are absolutely charming. we wish them great success with their hotelMaisons Wat Kor: "Love this home very much"
"I love this home very much! I felt ""Wooooooooow"" when my Aunty - Thanet told me that, Maison Wat Kor was experienced by Anjelina Julie, but then, I thought that it was her joke to me. Finally, yes that's true. I feel very special and love a great moment we had together with the family. The nature, the architecture, the atmosphere and especially well treats by owner of the house made us feel as our home. I love the breakfast and bedroom. We will be back."The River Resort: "Magical environment. Great people."
Very rarely am I blown away with a hotel. This time I was. Met at airport by Hotel car. Taken to this place that appears to be in the middle of nowhere built on the bank of the river. Arranged direct transfer as was quoted 3 times as much by an agency. Set around rice fields. Had three night stay. Was not long enough. Room weas great. Large balconies front and back. Indoor and outdoor showers. Lots of space. Most helpful staff. Arrange tuc tuc - or even car if you are that way inclined - to Wat Phu and other places nearby, Good open restaurant overlooking the river. Enjoyed the food (and for me that is not always the case).And really lovely people who went out of their way to assist in every way. Its the only place to stay if you wish to visit Wat Phu. And that is something that you really ought to wish to do.Reverie Siam: "Beautiful food"
"I booked this hotel as I saw on trip advisor it had the best restaurant in pai. And the reviews are correct. I had breakfast lunch and dinner here during my stay. Try the meat and cheese board. Heaven if you've been in Asia for a while and are missing diary treats. Great service in the restaurant too. The night we dined they also were playing live music. Disney favourites! Every one was clapping along to the jungle book. So much fun, great ambience in the room. My room was beautiful furnished , spacious with a balcony over looking the pool. I loved the large bathroom with roll top bath. Very cool style. The resort has a very boutique feel, everything looks quality , the design has looks of attention to detail with I enjoyed. Nice that you have a choice of 2 swimming pools one natural and one standard with beautiful views of pai. Great to sit around the pool with a cocktail or fresh juice from the bar. It is as nice as the pictures on the web site which are pretty inviting. "Sukoon Houseboat: "Unforgettable Memories"
Its just chance to find this House boat in dul lake. It was amazing experience to stay there. This house boat is not like other traditional house boats in dul lake. It is like a five star hotel. You experienced a class on this house boat. Room size and interior is very good. Bathroom is USP of the room. Food quality and verity was very good. The chef was master in his profession. It has a Roof top restaurant where you can spend whole day to viewing beauty of dul lake and mountains. Staff was well trained and very much polite. Services was level of a five star hotel. They have water treatment facility so you don't bother about hygiene. They have a suite Room also.If you want to relax this can be one of best option in srinagar.Reverie Siam: "Excellent Experience"

This Ong-ard-designed hotel is a marvelous oasis in this bustling city. The staff is extremely attentive and the restaurant is as good as any in town. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the design continually surprises and pleases you. You can't go wrong staying hereBlackitch Artisan Kitchen: "An unforgettable experience"
A truly unique and distinctive experience at Blackitch Artisan Kitchen. Chef Black's philosophy around food and ethics comes through in all his dishes - local, creative, artisan and balanced. His food is innovative, experimental and he has a real flair for flavours. Chef Black explained each of his dishes as they came to the table and the processes - the majority of the food is organic and handmade. I was fascinated to hear about the fermentation processes and work he'd gone through to create the dishes - an unforgettable evening !
