Tugu Lombok: "I found a place I want to get married"

"My first stay at Tugu-Lombok and it was remarkable. The ground was very beautiful with its own private beach. I stayed for 4 night, travelling solo, and I had a blast. I had a driver and travel guide to take me around South Lombok beaches, gilis (further south, not the crowded 3 gilis off Senggigi), and water fall which I booked separately. So, I didn't experience the overpriced excursions from the hotel. However, my stay had everything I expected and beyond. The service and staff were awesome. They would go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. My room is in one of the Kampong Villas, in the corner, away from the main area. It has outdoor (private) bathroom, which was nice, however, you'll have to deal with mosquitoes and humidity whenever you went to the bathroom. I brought my own mosquitos spray, fortunately. The hotel is secluded from everything else. So, its restaurant was the only one nearby. I had dinner twice. The food was really good, but so pricey. One night I had dinner on the beach, and for that I needed to reserve my place a day before. But since I was out and about the whole day, I usually stopped by at local food places (traditional Lombok cuisine) and brought them to my room for dinner (and sometimes breakfast). And 2 swimming pools with have more than 25 m in length ! Yes! This triathlete was very grateful for that. I swam laps daily at 5 am, before the sunrise. The pool near the restaurants was never crowded. However, the other pool was hardly had anyone in it except me during my stay. The only regret I had during my stay was it was too short. I'll definitely be back."

Villa Song Saigon: "Lovely hotel"

"Two nights after a long flight- excellent spa- fantastic views across the river - nice breakfasts and helpful staff. Shuttle water taxi works well and it's nice to return to relative calm at Villa Song. We would choose to stay here again and will recommend it to our friends. "

Reverie Siam: "4th visit"

Would you go a 4th time to a hotel which you don't like? Certainly not. The Reverie Siam Resort in Pai is our preferred place to go if we don't want to spend more than 2 hours in the car from our domicile in Chiang Mai. The winding road has just been renovated and is a pleasure to drive now. In the hotel, the rooms, in particular the villas are great, and so are the 2 pools. The almost historic restaurant is a "must see experience", the food is Western but great, the wine list large and the staff very friendly and attentive. And for what if offers, the prices are fair, and on occasion of our 4th visit we even got a 35 % discount. The only downside this time was that we booked our preferred table for a big birthday, which was confirmed in the booking confirmation as well as upon check-in. When we came to the restaurant in the evening, however, "our" table was given away. It is obvious that the communication between reception and restaurant manager didn't work, at least not this time. The 35 % discount was possible a fair compensation for this mishap. But no reason for us not to come back again and again.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Don’t miss the boat!"

Loved this hotel - rooms are very large and generous (and like the fact that there is no TV), the pool area is the perfect place to relax, staff went out of their way to be super helpful. Views of the ocean are magical. The local indian food was very good, but Western options not up to the same standard (including at breakfast). The real highlight of staying here was going out for the night on the river boat in the backwaters. Super romantic, a really special experience. The staff made us feel very special, and the views are to die for.

The Twelve Hotel: "Great boutique hotel in Bangkok"

The Twelve Hotel is a relatively new boutique hotel in a beautiful residential neighborhood in Bangkok. Away from the hustle and bustle, yet steps from street food, taxis, tuk tuks, and not far from a BTS station, it is a welcome oasis in that crazy wonderful city. I arrived to a very friendly and graceful greeting, and was very pleased at a room upgrade which I had not earned in any way. So speaking of value I will of course rate very highly though I cannot say how the other rooms were. I can only imagine they were as lovely as the one I had, which was spacious and elegant. The staff were incredibly helpful with directions and instructions for my planned travel to other parts of the city. The hotel owners are French, so breakfast had great croissant, baguette, coffee, fruit, and so forth. I usually prefer local breakfasts when traveling but this was a nice respite and well done. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel for any stay in Bangkok.

Maduzi Hotel: "Amazing Hotel, Amazing Location, so Tranqui"

Amazing location, just moments from transportation/shopping/dining, hotel is so peaceful and tranquil, it really is a respite in the busy, busy city of Bangkok. As soon as you walk in your a little more calm from the beautiful decor. We had a room A5 which has a great city view, but you can keep it nice and really dark with the wall length curtains, so we slept so well. We loved the giant bed, so much room! And of course the amazing breakfast, it really helped us start our day of touring with some great and healthy options that were delicious! The staff is so nice and welcoming, we will stay here again when we are back in Bangkok.

Maduzi Hotel: "Classy without the hefty price tag"

"I hate to admit but I’m pretty hard to please. When the hotel facilities are a 10/10, most often than not the price is too steep. If the price is cheap, likely there’s something somewhere that does not live up to my expectation. After my four-day stay at Ma Du Zi, I am most happy to find the perfect accommodation (in my humble opinion) and recommend it to fellow travellers who are visiting Bangkok. TLDR: price is mid-range, service is fantastic and totally bang for your buck! If you haven’t seen the pictures already, Ma Du Zi is huge – with one bedroom (full length window, goodbye claustrophobia!), king-sized bed with tons of fluffy pillows, cozy wardrobe corner, dressing table (with a portable vanity mirror!) adorned with Panpuri toiletries, and of course the much-raved about jacuzzi bath tub (with complimentary bath salt which was replenished every single day). The room also came with an espresso machine and Bose sound system so you can make your morning coffee while listening to your favourite Spotify playlist. The thing I love most about Ma Du Zi is that they go all out to please without any “unpleasant surprise”. Hungry and want to reach for that pack of chips in the mini fridge? Go for it, it’s free. Want to check out slightly later (up to 8pm I was told)? Sure, just tell them in advance. All these with a strict no-tipping policy?! I AM SOLD. Ma Du Zi is less than five minutes by foot from Asok BTS/Sukhumvit MRT and there is a 24-hour convenience store just across the street. Class, comfort and convenience - Ma Du Zi is now at the top of my list next time I visit Bangkok."

Manda De Laos: "Perfeito"

Restaurante numa rua que nao e perto do centrinho, lugar lindo, aconchegante, tranquilo, rustico, comida maravilhosa. Preco justo. Garcons super simpaticos. Voltaria 1 milhao de vezes. Parabens.

Misool Eco Resort: "Even better the second time around!"

"My wife and I first visited MER in 2013 (if interested, see my review dated July 9, 2013) and returned for our second visit in February of this year. Our observations: In the three years between visits, the fish life has continued to rebound in a remarkable fashion thanks to MER's No Take Zone and ranger patrols of that area. There is so much to see on every dive site. Brilliant colors abound, along with critters galore, sharks and mantas, too! Diving was the focus of our visit and we found the dive operation to be efficiently and expertly managed by Calvin and his support staff. The food was once again plentiful and delicious. A change since last time was the switch during lunchtime from buffet style to family style, where heaping plates of food were passed around each table. Great conversations were had daily when the guests came together at meal time. The grounds are clean and well maintained, the staff helpful and friendly, the spa services are varied and most satisfying and while my wife and I have traveled extensively around the globe, we found ourselves more relaxed on this trip than anywhere before. Marit and Andrew have a spectacular vision for this place and continue to look for ways to conserve and protect this beautiful part of the world, while allowing guests to come along for the ride. What a privilege for those who visit. We're already planning to return in 2018 and we can't wait to once again see the friends we've made at MER. Dave and Elaine"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "I am here as I write this"

I’ll keep it short and sweet. Just come here and don’t think twice. You will fall in love with this place. Wonderful ambience and superb food. The owner said they’ve been open only for 10 months. There is no surprise why they’re number 1 in Yangon in such a short period of time. It’s wonderful.
