Cuca: "Great, creative dinner"

We came here for some cocktails outside and then dinner at the chef's table. The drinks were very good and very creative! The food was delicious and I also think creative and well thought out. The service could not be better either! We enjoyed the chefs table. The restaurant outside and table seating looked very nice, but it was different sitting at the chefs table and they briefly explain the dish and answer any questions when they bring it to you. Additionally, our servers also seemed very knowledgeable on the dishes being served. Pricing was good. You will always pay a bit more for nice cocktails, but they were worth it and I don't think overpriced compared to other places. The food is very reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend stopping in Cuca whether for a full meal or cocktails and snacks as it's all tapas style!

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Peaceful and serene!"

"Neeleswar hermitage takes you to a different era. Free from anything unnatural like plastics and preservatives, the resort is indeed like a hermitage and gives you a much needed stress buster getaway! Rooms : The rooms are spacious and clean and an incense fragrance. The bathroom is as big as the room with a huge bath-tub (I guess not all rooms have a bath tub) with an open roof! The staff offers evening cleaning service where they come in and light a lamp and pull down the drapes and clean the room so that you have a peaceful sleep! Food : The downside was the sea food restaurant was closed due to the rains and we had only one of the restaurant to cater to us. However the food is just awesome! They have only a limited dishes on the menu, but are mouth watering delicious. They also obliged to serve us something off the menu (since my little daughter insisted for it). Hats off to the chef to bring in so much flavor in the simple local dishes. There is no buffet spread but if you appreciate good food and are ok to explore local cuisines, the chef wont disappoint you! Hotel surroundings and activities : The rooms overlook the beach and has a good verandah to sit and gaze into the waves. The beach is not a private one (open to the locals around) but is clean and managed well with security around. The infinity pool is really good is cleaned daily. There is a good view of the beach from the pool and one can spend hours just lazing in the pool. The resort offers spa and ayurvedic therapy with doctors consultation. There are few indoor games and library. There are hammocks and chairs laid out in several spots to just lay back and enjoy nature."

Reverie Siam: "Beautiful hotel"

The hotel was stuning and the room with the stand alone bath tab (river view) was amazing! The gardens, the lobby and of course the rooms were just gorgeous and very relaxing! The only minus was the restaurant- although it had a great tasety food it was all tiny so if you are hungry it's problematic to eat there. However breakfast was nice and the staff brought us more bread, and juice when needed. The staff were also very kind, and overall I would recommand this beautiful place to friends! P.s- it is 5 min from the walking streets of Pai but the hotel runs a shuttle that will take you whenever you want until 11pm, which was great for us!

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Wonderful hotel with first-class service from friendly staff"

"Everything about the Aspara Rive Droitte is just right. Mr Ai and Mr Hann (the management team) and Mr Ivan (the owner) went out of their way to make our stay wonderful and all the other staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, with the hotel's dedicated Aspara Queen taking 60 seconds to cross the Nam Khan and deliver you to the heart of Luang Prabang - and, conversely, escape to the more serene side of the Nam Khan. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, and breakfast wonderful. The pool is a welcome relief from the heat of Laos, with the bar just a few steps away. After 5 days at this home-from-home, we were sad to leave. We hope to go back"

Amata Lanna: "Hidden jem"

"This is the second time we have stayed here and hopefully not the last. The owner and staff are amazing and very helpful. We stayed in the same room as before which overlooks the lovely little pool. Room is a good size with a large bathroom with both shower and large bath. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was always a delight with both Asian and western choices. I understand that the owners are having a second hotel built,if the same standards are kept up it can only be a great success."

Villa Song Saigon: "An Amazing Boutique Hotel"

"What an unforgettable stay we had in Villa Song ! The restored colonial villa near the river is stunning. Decorated with nice antique furniture combined with modern art. We were happy to stay for 4 nights in the Sanctuary Suite consisting of a cosy sittingroom, a large bedroom, a luxury bathroom and last but not least a large comfortable balcony overlooking the river. We spend lots of moments with a tea early morning and with a drink late evening to watch the river and its boats passing by, which gave us a peaceful feeling. The hospitality of the staff is excellent. We had a pleasant chat with the General Manager Mr. Yega and the Chef Cook Mr. Kevin, both with a lot of experience in hotel business. But also the restaurant manager Mr. Freddie, the waiters, the bartender's, the receptionists and the cleaning staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. The speed boat service to town is well organized and a great experience. No need to waste your time with a taxi in the hussle of the traffic. In a 15 minutes enjoyable ride on the river you are in the heart of town. On the moment we stayed in Villa Song, we had the pleasure to choose our diner besides the regular menu, from a special menu created by Chef Cook Kevin and a guest Chef Cook from singapore which came for two weeks for this special event. We had surprising and delicious dishes with a fusion of Asian and Western food and this all in a romantic ambiance near the river. Villa Song is the top of luxury and hospitality… a beautiful place to stay. Thanks a lot to Mister Yega and his team !"

Villa Song: "Paradise by the River"

"Had the pleasure of staying at this lovely riverside villa earlier this month. Beautifully appointed with an attentive staff to match. Highlights included ultra-comfortable room and wonderful breakfasts and cocktails overlooking the river. Highly recommended"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "An incredibly magical stay in George Town!"

When I came across the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion I knew that it would be a special place, however, it completely exceeded my expectations! There is really no place like it in George Town and even the world. This carefully restored historic mansion helps evoke the history of the city, it has beautiful antiques and family heirlooms, making you feel like your a guest of Mr Cheog Fatt Tze himself. Rooms are very spacious, include top quality luxury fittings and are all unique. There's also an excellent restaurant which I'd recommend for their great value lunch menu or for a romantic dinner. The pool was an added bonus, considering it can get hot in George Town! I hope to be able to return to this fabulous hotel!

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Michelin star quality lakeside Yangon"

My second time to Yangon and this is the best ! Sensational food and wine set in amazing gardens on the lake. I recommend arriving before dinner for a cocktail in the stunning lounge area. It’s so beautiful to sit under the outside terrace or if you want something super romantic and private choose one of the private dining options (see photo ) or there is one lakeside. Service was impeccable. Must do !

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Fantastic break from the outside world!"

During our trip of Cambodia (Jan'18), we spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We drove from Sihanoukville International Airport and were able to reach their reception point in little under 3 hours. The 25 min ride from the reception point to the actual lodge builds up the anticipation in a good way as some of the scenery is just jaw-dropping. Quant little tents with all the required amenities, extremely comfortable and a private deck for yourself, which you can use for enjoying the sun or jumping into the Tatai River wherever you want. With little or no phone connectivity (only Metfone has any sort of connectivity here), you can switch off from the outside world and just spend time with nature. They also take you in a boat to enjoy the sights of fireflies in the evening and it looks magical. You can enjoy the sunset as well (an hour's ride in a boat down the Tatai river) or other trips that they can arrange for you on demand. They maintain a decent DVD collection which you can use (they don't have satellite TV and this is a good change). Paulo (manager) and Narayan were super hospitable and ensured that every little request is taken care of and that you are well looked after. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Cambodia.
