Summertime Villa: "A slice of heaven"
"Summertime is an oasis of calm in Goa. The staff is lovely and caring, and the home and grounds are impeccable. All rooms and en suite bathrooms are tastefully decorated and spacious. The infinity pool is amazing and well maintained as are the grounds (our children enjoyed feeding the Koi fish in the pond each morning). For us, the owners made our daughter's birthday so special with their unexpected generosity, including a beautiful birthday cake, decorations and even an age-appropriate present! You'd definitely need a car to get around, as the home isn't really walking distance from any major markets or restaurants, and the approach road is rough. We will book again!"Villa Song Saigon: "Oasis in Saigon"
The quiet and classic getaway away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The rooms which went from a nice boutique style upscale luxury standard to a luxurious design and feel with beautiful furniture, original artwork, and excellent serviceTugu Malang: "Tempo Doeloe feeling"
The hotel is a mixture of luxury and history. The rooms give a feel of the "good" (only for the Dutch) colonial old times, with the hand hammered baths. And the whole atmosphere is the hotel is friendly and service minded. The for is excellent and the hotel itself has a fantastic mix of antiquities within its walls (Chinese (most), Dutch and Indonesian. It was a pleasure going to the rooms with my 17 year old daughter and see her recognize drawings and pictures of Kublai Kahn and Sun Yat Sen. Great hotel.Manukan Island Resort: "Charming villas with great staff"
"We stayed for one night in a beachside villa. Staff encountered were all very friendly and professional. Upon check in we were shown to our room, given a welcome tea and a friendly introduction to the room and facilities on the island. The room itself was so charming - spacious, well laid out, clean and very comfortable all round with beach towels and thongs provided and a cute little balcony overlooking the beach, it suited the environment perfectly and you really couldn't ask for anything more. We were warned that they switch generators several times a day and as such we may experience power disruptions but this was very minimal. The outside breakfast buffet was okay, we did notice insects crawling over some of the breads. Dinner, although the menu was somewhat limited, was really lovely with tables and fairy lights set up next to the beach complete with three musicians performing songs for every table - very romantic. Most of the many tourists on day trip leave the island by 4pm and after this you can really appreciate and enjoy the environment you are in as during the day it is not as pleasant, crowded and noisy. The walk to Sunset Point was a highlight though the pagoda there doesn't offer the best view - continue down the small path to the rocks, very serene. We had an earlyish flight to catch on the day of our departure and the staff were happy to ensure an early boat back to KK was made available to us. We were offered a friendly farewell and as we boarded our boat and were about to depart, a staff member ran out to return a power cable we had accidentally left behind in our room which was much appreciated. If you are planning on visiting Manukan Island we would recommend staying at this resort - very enjoyable and well managed and you are able to experience the island without the daily crowds."The Cabochon Hotel: "Honeymoon visit"
We stayed here for 2 nights to start our honeymoon. It was super cute. Great location and staff was awesome. Breakfast was nice and we had a nice air conditioned room. The only downside was no bath tub, only shower, but its cool, we were happy! Would love to stay again!Rachamankha: "Quiet and peaceful oasis in Chiang Mai"
This hotel was incredible. It was so peaceful and quaint and the greenery was beautiful. It was in a perfect location. The rooms were beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly and were always checking to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We spent New Years with them and had a great party!! I would highly recommend this hotel and location.The Village House: "Comfortable place"
We loved the hotel. Quiet, comfortable place where you can really relax from the worries. Fine cuisine! The chef prepared a special diet menus at our request. Competent and responsive staff. Especially impressed by the good Aliffa. We made friends with her. She is very friendly and hospitable answered all our questions, even with our incomprehensible English. How nice it was to see her friendly smile! Our conversations have helped us to better understand and love Malaysia. We will recommend your hotel to our friends.Supanniga Eating Room: "Good food"
Went there for dinner for the first time. Food was simple but delicious. Pleasant and comfortable setting. Attentive and helpful staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Certainly will return upon my next trip.Cuca: "A must do for the foodies"
My wife and I had the chance to have a reservation at the chef's table and it was an amazing experience!!! The food is outstanding! You can see and taste all the attention in the details of every plate. The chef took a lot of time to discuss with us about his recipes and you can right away sed that he is really passionated about what he does... And it reflects on the food! A must go in Jimbaran!Bassac Cruises: "Memorable"
Had a fantastic and truly memorable time, the crew couldn't have have done enough for us and beautiful food. Special mentions go out to An and Ngoan. Has stood out as one our best experiences whilst in Vietnam. The Mekong river is amazing, thanks to all involved.Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
