Sandat Glamping Tents: "Really liked it but needs a little improvement"

Review by: suma8587 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were there on our honeymoon, i loved the pool and how quite it can be. The only downfall was that everything can be heard. The resort consists of 5 tents and 3 tree houses/ huts. We could hear the breakfast buffet being prepared, our neighbors talking so we couldn't enjoy our time together as much as we would have liked because everything and everyone is so close to each other. I like my private life kept private, not for everyone to hear just because ""ill never see them again or don't know them"". I did like that they offer a complimentary shuttle service into town, you should order it at least 30 min before. As for the tents they are nice and cozy but our tent was full of ants for some reason, and when we showered the drain was semi clogged so just after 2 minutes the water would over flow and get all over. The fans would make the room cool enough at night but during the day we preferred staying in the pool or going into town, AC's are optional for an extra charge. The pool was beautiful overlooking the trees and listening to the nearby birds and nature which was nice and relaxing. The breakfast was nice and simple. I loved the freshly made jams and juices and the staff was always kind, helpful and had a smile on their faces. We didn't take a yoga lesson but i would recommend it or even if you know yoga to try out the yoga deck by the reception cause its beautiful all in its own. I would recommend that they invest in either training or obtaining an actual bar tender as the staff isn't equipped to make cocktails. Overall, it was a good experience, it just needs a few tweaks here and there."

MesaStila: "32nd wedding anniversary"

Review by: Divetreklover | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had a very happy 4 days stay at this very lush and well kept 22 acres resort / staying ins huge garden. The service was superb and all the staffs including the villagers where we walked were very friendly. We enjoyed the very interesting background of this coffee plantation. We had a huge villa facing Mount Andong which we also climbed to have a good view of the farms below. It is a 11/2 hrs steep climb but not difficult. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

Reverie Siam: "Perfect Getaway"

Review by: rich_betsy | Source: Trip Advisor
Chose this hotel based on tripadvisor and was very pleased. It is truly a quiet, restful, peaceful place next to the Pai River and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Pai. The villa room was spacious and very quiet, with a huge bathroom and jacuzzi tub. The restaurant is the best in town--regardless of what you may see on tripadvisor! We ate all our evening meals but one on a 4-night stay and were happy with all of them. The made-to-order breakfasts were more than we could eat and very tasty. The only problem we had was with the internet on the last day which seemed to block most of the websites we use, including Fox News!

Tugu Bali: "Charming Hotel – really makes you want to stay in Bali"

Review by: Cindy T | Source: Trip Advisor
This boutique hotel is Bali at its finest- excellent service, gorgeous rooms, wonderful food, and traditional Balinese antiques incorporated flawlessly into the property. We were warmly greeted upon arrival by Putu, who was more than attentive and helpful for the entire duration of our stay. He made sure everything was ready for us, including our drop-off to the airport, and even gave us a tour of the art around the properly. Our room was comfortable, spacious and charming, complementing the rest of the hotel with antique art pieces on display right in the room. Every member of the staff greeted us with a smile and accommodated every small request. Extra perks make this boutique hotel special- like the freedom to have breakfast wherever we wanted. We chose to have our breakfast in a cabana overlooking the beach and every detail was taken care of, plus the food was delicious! This hotel made our Bali experience thoroughly enjoyable and we would definitely visit again.

Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "great time"

Review by: ebgoobler | Source: Trip Advisor
Great staff and great boat. Pretty dishes and nice drinks and food. The only draw back is that it is a bit expensive, especially for extra drinks. But as a single couple, we would go again.. but maybe not with a big group that has different ranges of budgets.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Outstanding"

Review by: SophieGoldCoast | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed 3 nights for a family birthday celebration. We were 5 adults. It was a wonderful respite after travelling the rough roads of Sikkim. I agree with the earlier reviews and experiences and won't repeat the wonderful activities available. We did the walk to the river which we really enjoyed. On arrival (after being met with cool refreshing flannels and homemade lemonade) I lay down on a wooden bench by river and within seconds a lovely man appeared with pillow and large cushion for bench. I enjoyed a snooze while lunch on the barbecue. Wonderful care and our needs were met before we realised we had a need. Lovely lovely people. We chose not to dine communally but enjoyed wonderful candlelit family dinners on the terrace of our bungalow, served by a lovely gentle caring man. The drive into Darjeeling is long, bumpy and slow. I would recommend you don't waste a day of your precious time in Glenburn. Rather spend two nights in Darjeeling before or after Glenburn. We would have liked at least another night in Glenburn. It really is worth the journey in."

Satri House: "What a beautiful and unique place"

Review by: Anna D | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel beats all expectations! It feels like staying in someone's private home - so many lovely details! Located a little outside of the city center, which is perfect for some relaxing days at the pool and in the beautiful garden and still is in walking distance from 'downtown'. The food was very tasty - breakfast, snacks, dinner! The massages were very good! The general manager wrote a very nice welcome card, unfortunately he never talked to us, although there were not too many guests..."

Manda De Laos: "Beautiful and delicious"

Review by: C-RonSanFrancisco | Source: Trip Advisor
This has to be one of the most beautiful, picturesque places to have dinner in all of Laos. It's just so charming, with all the tables around the glittering lily pond, listening to crickets and seeing the stars above. The food itself was simply delicious - we had the vegetarian tasting menu and everything we ate was scrumptious! What lovely, memorable meal.
