Inle Princess Resort: "Like being in a fairytale"

"We got here by taxi from the airport, in which case the first impression wasn't very good as we arrived in what would be the loading Bay Area. The other way would be to get taxi to the lake and then finish the last leg of the journey by boat. It's an hour away by car and if you negotiate your return you can bring it down to 35,000 going and same back. If you book from the hotel it's about double the price. Once we were taken to reception we forgot our first impression - we were given a nice cold towel, some ice tea and all our bags were taken away from us. We were shown to our 'rooms' - they are huge, with a sofa area a free standing bath and an outside shower. we stayed in a garden view - so we had a porch with deck chairs overlooking a big water lily pond. Mini bar was free and water and fruit was replenished twice a day. Our day trip on the lake was organised beautifully by the hotel - $43 for the boat - chairs on the boat were really comfortable, blankets, water and umbrellas all provided. We liked this place so much that we only got out for the day trip - the rest of the time we spent enjoying the pool and the porch in our rooms, the bar and the restaurant - which are all great. Tip - the mosquito curtain around the bed is there for a reason, without you'll be bitten all night. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

Villa Song Saigon: "don’t wanna tell anybody” kind of hotel"

The quiet river view makes you feel you are far away from the lively life of HCMC. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel so much. It was a relaxing experience, especially the boat riding in the afternoon was so wonderful. Spa and swimming pool was also nice. Quite a memorable stay.

David’s Kitchen: "Our special night made even more memorable by DK"

"David and his team have created something very special in DK. Expectations are set very high when going to a ""fine dining"" restaurant, especially one with such a collection of positive reviews. I went with my partner for a special occasion and we both left DK thoroughly impressed. The food is outstanding, supported by a fantastic wine and cocktail list. The only issue we faced the whole evening was choosing what to order. I finally went for the Wagyu beef strip loin which was melt in the mouth, accompanied by the most gorgeous paris mash and truffle sauce - food heaven. What makes DK special is that David has managed to deliver the sophistication and refinement of fine dining, yet also makes it warm and engaging. The personalised service and attention to detail is everywhere, his service team is friendly and attentive, and David himself a real pleasure to chat to. For what you get, it is serious value for money and I shall definitely be returning when back in Chiang Mai."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion Logo Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Old Charm and stunning Mansion"

"Stayed there 3 nights at the Shantung room on Oct 1st. Was my second time staying there and seems quite an improvement compared to the 1st probably it was from a different management back then. Happy with the service upon checking in. Shiro at the desk was friendly. Glad that we had a early check-in and no hassle of waiting for our room to be ready. All the staff are polite from housekeeping lady to the wait staff for our breakfast,the lady at the bar & the security guard at the main door. I am amazed with the selection of ala carte breakfast menu and buffet spread with the price for the the room. Wish we had time to dine and experience Indigo in the future. "

Reverie Siam: "Wonderful and fairy tale like oases just outside PAI city center"

reverie Siam lies just ouside Pai, the distance is perfect. Quit, but close to the village. You enter a place with a relaxing atmosphere and wonderful designed rooms/villa's. There are two big (salt) swimming pools. Everything is thought of in this resort. The fruit snacks when you are at the pool, a thai telephone to loan when you are going to town and the list goes on. The WIFI connection is fast (10mb) The a la cart breakfast is very nice, a wide variety of choices. What is best, is the staff. Never We encountered staff in thailand who are so engaged with the wellbeing of the resort en their guests. We extended our stay from 3 nights to 9 nights, that says enough.

Chakrabongse Villas: "A real oasis – beautiful and worth every cent"

"Chakrabongse Villas is a really luxurious boutique hotel. We were guests here for 3 nights in April, and we wanted for nothing. We were offered a welcome cocktail when we arrived late in the evening, and our villa was traditional Thai style, and it was well appointed, clean and cool. We had a lovely private balcony overlooking the garden, with fresh flowers, pool towels, daybeds and shade aplenty. Having large villas, lovely gardens and only a handful of villas, we hardly ever saw another guest! We enjoyed the pool and the activity on the river, which we were on the banks of. Grounds are very private, with locked gates. Staff are unobtrusive but efficient, and the clamour, heat and bustle of Bangkok stops at the gates, and you enter a true oasis of calm and luxury. The riverside restaurant is also lovely and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast there each morning, with exquisite service, lovely food, and tourism advice as required. We took their longtail boat tour through the canals one afternoon, and thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was reasonably priced, too. One night we ate at the restaurant for dinner, and really, we were treated like royalty. A treat for the soul, and lovely, simple set menu, deliciously prepared. It was my husband's birthday one day, and they gave him a lovely gift. Add all of this together, and you have an exemplary service provider. Expensive but as i say, well worth it. Congratulations Chakrabongse crew, keep up the good work! Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Great Customer Service"

I stayed with my wife and travelled with another couple who also stayed at Maison Wat Kor. We were very impressed with their attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious, clean and tidy, and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and its surrounds. The lush garden created a sense of relaxation and was well maintained. Staff were very attentive and pleasant.

Tugu Bali: "One of the best hotels I stayed in"

This is by far one fo the best hotel I've stayed in. The room we had was comfortable and super spacious. The staff is what makes this hotel, they are very attentive and discreet. The pool is great, the food is delicious, the location is wonderful, right next to the beach and the Old Man's restaurant/beach bar. The massages were good too. I would definitely stay there again.

arumdalu: "a hidden gem filled with surprises!"

We never expect to find such a refine place at the very southern tip of Belitung island. A very creative and delicate cuisine, sustainable practices to save energy or natural fogging, an attentive service, large villa with private pool, 800m of white sand beach and beautiful landscape. Only recommend to people who appreciate quiet beauty!!!

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Waaaaay Beyond All Expectations"

"I've been to many other countries in Asia and Europe and stayed in more expensive hotels but CFTM so far, is the best I've been to. The hotel itself is grand and absolutely beautiful with a most interesting and colorful history. The staff was wonderful and performed way beyond expectations. It was my birthday and I found a floral arrangement plus a birthday card when I returned to my hotel in the evening. Within minutes of my return to my room that day, a staff arrived bearing a birthday cake. Then I had problems with my wifi and within minutes, someone arrived with a portable broadband. I expressed admiration for the homemade jams, particularly a certain type and within half an hour a complimentary bottle arrived in my room. Incredibly Wow. Impressive. Awesomest. Everything about CFTM and it's staff is to be expressed in the superlatives. Ps. If you are looking for airconditioned reception, sterile looking hallways, stainless steel and chrome fittings, this is not the place for you. But if you are interested in history and culture, by all means, stay here please. Stayed March 2017, traveled solo"
