Sandat Glamping Tents: "Simply stunning"

Review by: Cmarie0001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Booked this place for 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary and am so happy i did. From the booking process and choosing the room with all details the process was super smooth. The reservations lady was very helpful and offered us a beautifully decorated room with a complimentary couples massage. The resort is the most romantic place ever, very quiet with your own plunge pool overseeing the forest which was magical. As its ""tent"" you can hear the rain and insects at night which made the experience even more amazing. The staff were very kind and keen on attending to all our needs. Would definitely recommend this place to all couples traveling to Bali."

Reverie Siam: "Absolutely"

Review by: Mark B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Go! Go here! You only need a night or two but my what a treat. Every tiny detail of this little haven has been lovingly crafted. The ambience exceeds even the level of the best Disney theme park. The place feels old and new at the same time and In the best ways. The food is a much needed and delicious alternative to the common Thai dishes you find just about everywhere else. Each room is unique and spacious. You should explore the entire space, especially the hidden tea room that overlooks the river. Even if you have to go outside your budget, as we did, this place is a dream worth having. Stayed January 2017"

KHWAN BEACH RESORT: "A great place to stay at Koh Samui"

Review by: Joao P | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I and my partner spent five days at Khwan Beach Resort and our experience was nothing but fantastic. This is a small resort run by competent, kind and diligent people (Gaelle, Nittaya, Sai and Margot) who will make everything to fulfil yur wishes. Located literally at a two minute walk away from Mae Nam beach, it is a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxed holidays, surrounded by nature, nice villas each with its own private swimming pool, and (walking distance) close to restaurants, convenient stores, fresh fruit markets, etc. I will definitely return to this place. Mind you however that the resort has just initiated construction works for a restaurant which may cause some inconvenience during the day. Therefore, if you are planning to stay there, contact one of the managers (Gael or Margot) for more details "

Sukoon Houseboat: "Perfect choice for Dal Lake"

Review by: Mountainmann | Source: Trip Advisor
We planned to spend 4 nights on a houseboat on Lake Dal and spent much time reading TA reviews and reviews from other sites. We selected the Sukoon based on these reviews and the new construction as we feared older boats may have a musty and damp smell. After looking at so many other boats during our 5 days on Lake Dal we are sure we made the correct decision. The service was professional, the rooms as described -- new. clean and well appointed. The food was good and the meal service superb. Customer service was a high point. A real plus for the Sukoon was the location at the far end of the lake away from almost all houseboats. This is important as most boats are located in a chock-a-block fashion with little if any privacy. They arranged our tours and other needs. We would definitely choose the Sukoon when we return and return we will as Srinagar is a fabulous destination that deserves more the 5 days. Our only regret was not having arranged airport pick up ahead of time. The airport arrival area is chaotic to say the least due to security procedures and most taxi drivers had no idea where the Sukoon was located --- there are well over 500 houseboats on the lake so this would be expected.

Inle Princess Resort: "Best on the lake"

Review by: Lolascarlett | Source: Trip Advisor
From the minute the engine on the boat turns off and the driver starts to paddle into the inlet towards the hotel you know this is good. Magical setting - good bar and restaurant, wonderful staff, great spa treatments, lots of activities can be arranged. Nothing is too much trouble.

Tugu Bali: "Amazing Karma Mantra Massage"

Review by: Luke L | Source: Trip Advisor
"Went for a Karma Mantra (Chakra Awakening) massage and what an amazing experience. Very powerful and beautiful space. One of the best massages ever so I ended up booking a second one 2 days later before I left Bali to experience again. Worth every penny. Powerful ceremony after the massage after which time a plate of fruit is delivered. Nice space to integrate the energies. Must try. Also had lunch at hotel and it was amazing. Stayed March 2017, traveled solo"

Tugu Malang: "Always feels welcome"

Review by: Wayne C | Source: Trip Advisor
This historic hotel is a museum as much a hotel. I have been staying here for around 15 years and the service never falters it is perfect. From the moment you enter reception you are treated like an individual. The staff go out of their way to remember your name and always refer to you by name. The dining at the restaurant is fabulous. The whole experience is one that you must feel for yourself. It is unique in Asia. Recommended to anyone

Manda De Laos: "The most beautiful place in all of Luang Prabang to dine!"

Review by: Carey M | Source: Trip Advisor
We were simply blown away by the setting of this restaurant. You walk in thinking it's just a nice place and then the amazement begins. The dining is alongside many ponds that create a setting of relaxation and wonder. The teens even enjoyed exploring on the paths over the water which were candle lit. The food and service were very good. I wouldn't say every dish was the best, but overall, our party was happy with their food and the waiters were so kind and willing to help, even our fussy eater. What a fun night out with family and friends.
