Inle Princess Resort: "what a wonderful place"

"The Hotel is Magic. We were picked up by a boat and slowly brought into this paradise. The room was fantastic, the Food and Drinks to match. We were so happy there that we decided to Skip a few temples to be able to enjoy this resort. The sunset on the terrace with a drink is fabulous. "

The Village House: "A quiet pool of calm; a haven in the jungle. R&R and lovely, friendly staff."

"My boyfriend and I returned to a cold England today after staying at the Village House for five days, after a rather hectic two-week exploration of Brunei and Malaysia. The Village House, and the surrounding area was the ideal relaxing end to our holiday There are plenty of places to explore nearby; two beautiful beaches, local villages where the people are very friendly and day trips further afield to see national parks and nature, or to explore the jungle or local culture. (...) The staff are all incredibly friendly, helpful and eager to please, and we built up a good rapport with them during our stay there. It's clear they have great respect for the place and hope guests feel the same way. The room was VERY clean, with cleaners coming in twice per day, and there is a library and TV room, with wifi, for guests to use, in addition to the beautiful swimming pool and relaxation areas with hammocks, sun loungers etc. We had absolutely no complaints, and would recommend anyone to stay here (...)"

Villa Song: "We would come back"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Song. This is a smaller, boutique type hotel, which was exactly what we wanted. It just felt so much more intimate and personal and yet still had all the amenities you could want. Wonderful well appointed rooms . I’ll admit that we were lucky enough to have a suite, which was simply stunning (thank you Villa Song). But the children’s room was still quite lovely and we would have been happy with that (although we declined to swap with them). We loved the setting - dining down by the river was lovely and you are a short walk / taxi from other great places to eat in the area. Breakfast is a la carte rather than buffet, but there is more than enough choice. We were here towards the end of our trip and frankly we were over wandering around at breakfast buffets. Nice pool and gym. For us, this was exactly what we wanted and a nice change from the larger chains and resorts "

Rachamankha: "Impressed"

Stayed here for our honeymoon and wow was it a great choice! The pool is stunning and the grounds are something super special. You feel like royalty here. The staff wants nothing more than to help and please you and do such a great job of making your stay lovely! They gave us fee champagne upon arrival and the manager was so lovely. Airport pickup with them went swimmingly and the breakfast was five star every morning! Couldn't be more full never ending amount of food offered! Room service was a delight as well. Only thing I would say is stay away from the burger and the dinner at the restaurant both were below average. Other than that everything was five star perfection! Will never forget this place!!

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Barefoot-luxury at it’s finest!"

"Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge is an intimate boutique hotel that values personalised experience, above all. It's an institution of tailored adventures and hospitality in Nepal. If only the walls at Tiger Mountain could speak, it'll be of stories within stories of individuals who have been and wrote countless books and tales about Nepal's beauty and serenity. Hands down, the best view from a hotel in Pokhara. Wake up for sunrise and encounter a parallel universe beyond anything you've ever imagined. Truly, a must experience. There is magic in this sanctuary of tranquility that is so healing; it brought me closer to nature, most of all, to myself. The food is exquisite, the simplicity of everything makes moments seem like a painting. If you are looking to book, don't think twice. Spend at least 3 days here, you can thank me later. The staff at TM are the best! It's like walking into a family. I didn't feel like a stranger, it didn't feel like a lodge at all. It was like coming home. Very best, Mr. Raven"

Nimmu House: "Absolutely wonderful"

Nimmu House is a boutique hotel 45 minutes from Leh. It's a wonderful place to stay: the charm of the old house, the fruit trees garden, the personalised service... The rooms are clean and beautifully renovated, as well as the rest of the house. The food is excellent and for all tastes. And the aperitif around the bonfire is a must!

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Excellent Culinary Experience"

"I have been to Seeds a couple of times over the past few months. It is great to see and feel how the team is growing in experience and professionalism. The Service is very pleasant and attentive, with a good knowledge of the product they are serving. The dishes presented were very innovative and well presented. Fine-tuned culinary creations of high international standard, at times with a slight local twist in flavor! A great culinary experience at the shores of the Inya Lake."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Understated, Charming, Comfortable and Friendly Team Members"

"Although the weather throughout our stay was not kind to us, it did not dampened our spirits to have some time out and relax in the resort. We stayed in a two bed room villa and a sea facing villa, each with its own plunge pool. My family was picked up by the hotel team at the airport straight to the resort, a service provided if you book direct. The drive was less than 15 minutes away. Upon reaching the hotel, we drived on a gravel road. Our room are very spacious, clean and comfortable. The gardens are beautifully maintained and there is a herbs and vegetables plot which the kitchen uses it in their menu extensively. The housekeeping team clean the room daily and they do a wonderful job. They also enter the room only when you are away from the room. Our plunge pool are cleaned early in the morning each day. All around the resort ground, wifi is provided, but signals may be weak at certain spots. In my opinion, if you are on a truly switch off vacation, wifi will be your least worry. Otherwise, wifi signal are excellent at the main restaurant; Sea Salt. Our breakfast at Sea Salt Restaurant each morning is simply beautiful and bountiful. The scale of the resort reflects the buffet offerings. One shall not expect a 300 room buffet spread. As a frequent traveller, the breakfast buffet selection is a beautifully balance and nutritious meal to start the day. The fruits are beautifully sliced, and every day, there is a juice of the day made from local fruit of choice. There is an egg station with all the condiments and accompaniments cook to order. The hot section consist Asian staple such as congee, noodles, dim-sum and steamed bun. Bacon and sausages are also offered with waffles and pancakes too! In addition, pastries and bakery, cereals, yoghurt, selection of jams, peanut butter and honey. Tea are individually brewed, and coffee whether you prefer a regular brew, espresso or latte, both are excellent, fresh, strong and bold. Coffee and espresso is my morning ritual, you will be surprised by their selection and beans choice. Sea Salt Restaurant overlooks the beach, ocean and swimming pool, even though it was rainy on all the mornings I was there, the interaction I had with the team, the ambience, the flowers, sound of rain drops, all made it a memorable experience. The team members make the effort to check on you without overdoing it. There are good selection of books to randomly read for a lazy day, you are free to hang out, nap, sleep at the comfortable lounge chairs and benches in Sea Salt. My family and I had dinner in Sea Salt Restaurant two nights in a row. It was not because of the rain, but truly the food served in the restaurant ticks all the right boxes. Small scale restaurant but big on flavors, big on eyes(presentation), explosive flavors from Thai herbs. The culinary team deserves a great compliment. At first looking at the menu, the repertoire is international and also Thai-centric. Usually, I am quite reserve and hesitant with ambitious menu like this. Then again, after dining extensively and selecting a wide range of the offering, I am pleased to say that the culinary team are well experience and passionate with their food. There is a wine cellar with an interesting selection of wines from both new and old world. The cocktails! Oh my, very very surprising! My brothers and I enjoyed the cocktails selection. Each cocktails tried was strong, bold, classic and inventive and beautifully presented. Well done to the Bartender. I have to say my stay at Sea Dance was excellent despite the rainy weather. The villa and gardens are well maintained. I was completely relaxad and rejuvenated. The food and beverage offering are honestly excellent. Finally the ultimate difference of any hotel or resort, small or big, are the staff. The staff at Sea Damce are approachable, respectful, charming, friendly and always goes all the way out to assist my family and me. Never mind the language barrier, the effort and genuine effort shines through. The Sea Dance is a resort in the making a little over 2 years, approaching 3 now. If you willing to step away from your usual global chain hotels and off-the-beaten-path sort of holiday, you will not be dissapointed. Thank you Sea Dance Resort and Team. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Tugu Bali: "Unexpected elegance"

Surrounded by antiques from all over Asia, Tugu Canggu was a haven of casual elegance, great dining and easy access to beaches, surfing and shopping. The manager, Jenny, was especially helpful in guiding us to our surroundings and anticipating our needs. The rest of the staff were warm, thoughtful and delightfully pleasant.
