Flower Island: "Unforgettable"

"An unforgettable stay! Worth every Pesos! Absolutely beautiful setting, caring and kind staff, stunning rooms, peace and tranquility not find in many places left on earth! Pearl farm visit a must with super interesting and professional staff. Was encouraging to see the environmental programmes supported by the resort and the pearl business. Clean, clear ocean with the best snorkelling in Palawan. Thank you so much to all the staff for your incredible kindness and care. We will return to paradise! Room Tip: Loved Golden room"

The Governor’s House: "Highly recommended"

I had a great stay at Governors House. The staff were warm and accommodating without being overbearing; the property and rooms were perfectly curated and cozy; and the grounds were absolutely lovely. I stayed in GH as a respite prior to a few weeks of intense work, during which I was lodged at a bigger international chain hotel that - although more 'luxury' - didn't have the charm or the homeyness of this property. I'd highly recommend it for travelers looking for a more stylish, and more personal, lodging experience in Phnom Penh.

Arumdalu: "Arumdalu Resort Belitong, Great and Awesome Place!!!!"

"Arumdalu Resort was opened on May 2014, I would say a doubt at first time during on the way to the Resort taking by the Hotel driver, when I ask the Driver how good the Resort is, such as a food, area etc etc, he always said Lumayan ( Not too bad ) :), keeping me curious whether he doesnt even know the place or something that would say... you see the facts..... When I get there, Wow... unbelieve, its a completely remote area facing the amazing white sand and blue blue clean beach!!!! They have huge Villa and great pool exactly infront of the Villa. Beside the great Service from the staffs, Beautiful and clean Resort..(...) We really had Great time there and highly recommended, I love to come back!!!"

Tugu Lombok: "Heaven on earth"

"We spent a week of our honeymoon at Tugu Lombok and it was simply fantastic. The food is sensational, such a wide range of dishes to choose from. The satay sticks are out of this world! The staff are friendly, from the waiters to the gardeners, and very good with your individual needs and likes. The moonlight spa treatment and meal is a absolute must. highlight of our fantastic stay. The hotel has kayaks and snorkeling equipment which allow a bit of exploring of the local sealife. We stayed in an Aloon-Aloon villa and it was spacious, comfy and the outside bathrooms were perfectly quirky. I cant speak highly of Tugu Lombok, it was 5 star every bit of the way,"

Talabgaon Castle: "An amazing off the beaten path place"

We were staying for one night in this heritage hotel, to break our journey between Agra and Jaipur. It is on the village of Talabgaon and the castle is an oasis away from the hustle and bustle. We stayed at the ground floor suite on the main castle, it was very comfortable and spacious with all amenities. The owners were very kind and hospitable, even taking care of the accommodation of our driver and guide and genuinely care about people in the village. At night we were sitting on the pool side, having our dinner under the sky with the entertainment from the local village, very memorable experience. It also allow us to have a glimpse of rural India life. Definitely something special!

Satri House: "Super stay at Luang Prabang"

"We were delighted to be at Satru house in Luang Prabang .. Very old style historical villa which was earlier used by a communist head of Laos after Frenchs left.. Excellent rooms.. Superb services.. Good breakfast.. Efficient services.. On our request they also made Vegetarian Lao cuisine for dinner. It was really a pleasure to be in Satri house for 2 nights.. We wished we were here for one more night.... We highly recommend travelers to stay in this marvelous hotel..."

TIGER MOUNTAIN POKHARA LODGE: "Heaven on earth"

"Having trekked for six days in the hills, Tiger Mountain Lodge was exactly what we needed. We arrived and were immediately offered refreshing drinks whilst sitting on the veranda looking at the stunning scenery.The view was incredible every single day and it was magical to sit out over breakfast and just see the mountains in the distance. The staff were on another level. They were so attentive, willing to do anything (which included making endless amounts of popcorn) and really professional. They knew exactly when we needed something and were polite and chatty. The rooms themselves were fantastic, the beds really comfy and the views stunning. The bathrooms too were much appreciated and the showers were very welcome after the hills! The food was five star: every day was something different and the breakfast especially wonderful. As a vegetarian, they were very accommodating. (...)It really is a place like nowhere else."

Muang La Lodge: "A piece of heaven in the middle of nowhere"

"After a rough first week of travelling and very cold weather, we were thrilled to spend a couple of nights here. Gorgeous room, with HEATERS and hot water bottles, tastefully decorated, lovely bathrooms, with home grown bathsalts. The setting is delightful, on the river, and the infinity pool on its own island was a good place to unwind with a book when the sun comes out. All the little hidey holes have access to drinks and snacks and service is never far away. The spa itself, with the two huge hot spring-fed pools are elevated so you have a view of the surrounding countryside and are a panacea for weary limbs, and the massage sets you up for the next part of the journey! The five course dinner is light and carefully crafted, full of flavour, and the cocktails inventive and yummy. Little braziers kept us warm while we ate, and a large boma-type fireplace was comforting for an aperitif. We had a long walk on our free day round the local Khamu village, and enjoyed seeing village life at a slow pace, the pace it is lived. Excursions can be arranged to nearby hill tribes, but we didn't know about that. Even though the local staff dont speak much English it is good to see the management trying to give back other local community by providing jobs and an enhanced local spa for the village. I can't rate this place highly enough "

Muang La Lodge: "A little peace of paradise in northern Laos"

It takes a bit of effort to get there, but its secludeness is also part of its charm. The staff of this beautiful resort with only ten rooms does everything to make your stay pleasant and memorable. There are no strict rules, except for enjoying yourself as much as possible. If you would like to stay in a tranquil, beautiful and comfortable resort and value quality over quantity, this is the place to be. Especially the five course dinner which combines the best of French and Asian cuisine is worth mentioning. If you prefer an easy getaway with all standard 5-star hotel facilities and an all-you-can-eat buffet, this is not the place for you.

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Superb experience"

"Had an amazing time, even though it was just for one night, it was a memorable time for me and my family. In general it's quite difficult to find fault with any aspect of it. From the tent and the facilities therein, the service and attentiveness of the staff, the layout of the campsite itself, and the attention to detail in every aspect was looked into. For anyone interested in enjoying an authentic Sri Lankan spread, this is the place to go to, a good variety of local fruit and vegetables... In terms of the safari into the park, the vehicle is well equipped and comfortable. Most notable however is the expertise and knowledge imparted to us by the the managers, Sajith and Danushka with regard to the animals, bird life etc making the experience all the more enjoyable. Overall a worthwhile visit, which you will not be disappointed by, five stars across the board. "
