tugu bali: "Authentique Indonesian Decor"

Review by: Jigrak | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Without doubt, the room in Tugu Bali is one of the best we ever stayed. Everything was design to the utmost details to represent Indonesian (Java) beauty. We only stay in the Rejang Suite Ocean view for one night on the last leg of our adventure in Bali. The location in Pantai Batu Bolong, Canggu is rather secluded, but busy with surfers. Perfect for honeymooners. The staff are extremely helpful and polite; from the reception, bellboy, gardener, waiters. Definitely we want to come back and spend more time there "

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Excellent, an example for culinary experiences"

Review by: Urs A | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is my second visit to the Seeds. The garden enchants me again and again, especially the sunset at the lake is simply a feast for the eyes. Culinary, Felix cooks at a high Level. His well-balanced dishes are professionally served by proud and motivated staff. Accompanied by the evening we were by the charming Lucia. Her courteous and friendly manner as well as her hosting abilities fulfilled every wish. All these people are united as a strong team, creating an atmosphere that invites you to linger and enjoy. Lucia and Felix are great examples for staff management in the hospitality industry. This is immediately noticeable as a guest. It will definitely not have been my last visit to the Seeds. Kind regards Urs Auchter Working for development aid as Swiss Master Chef in Yangon."

Review by: Philayvanh V | Source: Trip Advisor
The food at Manda de Laos was super great and amazing, nice ambiance with friendly service by lovely staffs at the restaurant. I think the price is suitable on what you get. If I have chance to visit Luang Prabang, I definitely go back to this place. Lastly, I love banana ice cream :)

Review by: getmeonaplane_10 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I enjoyed a dinner here as part of our honeymoon this week. I had the 6 course vegetarian menu, and my wife had one of the six course omnivorous options (including a frogs legs option!). All courses were simply superb. Beautiful balanced flavours were supported by technical flair. Service was perfect, warm yet unobtrusive. The decor was subtle and the atmosphere calm. Truly, this was one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. Thank you!"

Jing’s Residence: "If you are staying in Pingyao, you need to stay here"

Review by: sgeddie | Source: Trip Advisor
"The only downside to our stay is it wasn't long enough. Jing's Residence surpassed our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived we felt like we had walked into a dream. The hotel is beautiful and full of history. Even though you are in the centre of the walled old city of Pingyao it is quite and peaceful. The staff is amazing and made us feel so welcome. Our room was beautiful and spacious with seating outside in the courtyard, a perfect place to start your night and end your night. Make sure to eat here!!! The food is wonderful and fresh. My favorite was the local oat noodles, so much so I had it twice. I am a picky eater, because of dietary restrictions and was very well taken care of at Jing's Residence Restaurant. I did the paper cutting class, while my husband went out in the rain to walk the wall, and it was worth every penny to learn something new and to meet Deng Cui Ying. Please don't make the mistake we did and only stay one night. The small village of Old Pingyao is lovely and a day and a night is enough time to visit, but the extra night will let you truly relax and embrace the hotel. I can not thank Imam and his staff enough for the warm hospitality. Our stay with you was the best we had in China."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Dinner at the Blue Mansion- Wonderful"

Review by: Mansourhe | Source: Trip Advisor
"The menu and service was superb! The place is quiet and full of character. My father had difficult to manage the stairs to get up to the restaurant, so the managers arranged for us to have dinner downstairs. we were served hand and foot by our incredibily humber and eager to serve waiter Imran, who was both polite, discrete. I don't recall the last time we had such wonderful service, Imran was great! My father who is very high maintenance, even complimented Imran and said, its wonderful to be served by someone who understands the etiquette of the table. When we were leaving, we shocked by Imrans humility when after running up and down the stairs all evening and attending to our every need, said ""please forgive me if I made any mistake serving you tonight! Fine dining and fine service with an excellent menu and a place full of character! Stayed December 2016, traveled with family"

Inle Princess Resort: "Magically peaceful"

Review by: Stephen_and_Anna | Source: Trip Advisor
We've been lucky enough to stay in some great hotels over the years, but this is probably the most magical location we've stayed in. We had stayed the previous night in a monastery as we were trekking in the Shan hills. Also magical, but very basic. To then arrive at the Princess Resort by boat - and travel everywhere by boat over the next day or so - was wonderful. We had a villa with an amazing sunset view out over the lake - a a great way to relax at the end of long days exploring the area. Highly recommended!

Dewakan: "Innovative yet true to its Malaysian heritage"

Review by: Jo-Lyn L | Source: Trip Advisor
Dewakan can easily beat some of the Michelin starred restaurants hands down. Chef Darren's creativity with local ingredients, whilst staying true to his Asian roots and elevation in the composition of both in every single dish is remarkable to say the least. Don't skimp or worry bout your diet or whatever - just go for the 10 course dinner. You won't regret it!
