Inle Princess Resort: "Relaxing resort with great food"
"We stayed here for 2 nights in February and could have stayed a bit longer to explore the area more. This a lovely resort and the lake villa we had was really comfortable, clean with lovely bathroom and great outside shower. The food was great with lots of local dishes on the menu, using fresh produce. Service was excellent and the position of the restaurant just perfect. We organised a half day tour of the lake through the resort and this was certainly a highlight of our visit. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Tugu Bali: "A lovely stay at Tugu Bali"
"I stayed at one of their Dedari suites and it was a very pleasant stay. Beautiful room with a lovely bathroom (you can see the fish pond from the bathroom). Tugu Hotel is known as one of the most beautiful boutique hotels in the world. It has a fascinating collection and walking around the hotel was really enjoyable. Tugu Hotel Bali is located a few meters away from Batu Bolong beach and they have their own garden next to the beach, which allowed me to enjoy sunset privately. Besides their hospitality and fascinating collection, I am a big fan of their massage (the spa room is beautiful!) and the cultural evening (and dining). One of those places where you really can't wait to go back to."Supanniga Cruise: "Best Chao Praya Cruise Ship"
Most of the cruises on Chao Praya river are big boats with chessy music, lousy buffet and full of unpleasant big group tourists. Supanniga has already made its name from their restaurants in the city which drew many sophisticated Bangkokians to the cruise when opened. I had a chance to dine on the cruise. The cruise is small and not crowded. I love the chic and stylish decorations with nice modern music. Food are great. I enjoyed the experience.The Island Lodge: "Great little boutique hotel"
This was a great choice to stay before and after a river cruise on the mekong delta. The place was cozy with all you need: quality restaurant, spa and the most friendly and service-oriented staff. The place is tucked away pretty good so you want to have the driver pick you off at the airport.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Enchanting stay"
"The Blue Mansion is a beautiful historic building with so much charm, the room had so many thoughtful touches from under bed lighting and bathroom lighting to a basket to take to the pool. Service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant is the best in Penang and the quality of wine excellent. Breakfast was good and the tour of the property is worth doing. Located in the heritage area of Penang it is on the door step to little India and China town. A must do when visiting Penang!"The Hue House: "Unforgettable night at The Hue House"
"It was our 1st year anniversary yesterday. My boyfriend booked a table at The Huế House for this special occasion. The restaurant is on the rooftop 10th floor of an office building where we can see Saigon at night time. We came in the afternoon & catched the sunset - very romantic atmosphere which is suitable for us. The food was very delicious. Very nice decor as well. The restaurant owner was very nice to us, when he knew about this special occasion, he prepared us a cake as a gift. Thank you very much. This place is highly recommended "Tandjung Sari: "Sublime location and attention to detail"
"A Balinese style bungalow with a lookout day room at the top of a spiral staircase, own garden, courteous staff who consider great service to be the norm, amazing choices for breakfast - pressed or fresh tomato juice anyone? Yes the Tandjung Sari has dotted every 'I' and crossed every 'T'. Our 30th anniversary dinner was presented by our own personal waitress and the chef came to visit us after the meal to ensure all our needs had been catered for. Front desk staff, drivers, all of you - thank you so much for a wonderful few days in Sanur."Tandjung Sari: "12 Days at Tandjung"
Our stay was very close to perfect- we selected a garden villa as our home base for the family holiday. The staff at Tandjung were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Starting each day with a shower (in the private outside villa courtyard) then having breakfast on the beachfront was a daily highlight for me. The villa and the grounds and the facilities around the resort were immaculate and the security staff at both ends of the property added to a sense of exclusivity. And lastly, Tandjung is great value; a similar quality room at a Seminyak resort cost my cousin more than double the rate. We will come back to Tandjung Sari for sure.Samuay & Sons: "Great and unexpected gem"
"I'm really glad that we stopped in here to get some food. The food is phenomenal, and the preparation and presentation is quite unique. It's a different take on Thai food, and the folks who work there had time to talk to us, and give us an education on how they source the food, from farm-to-table, and have relationships with actual farmers. The head chef even brought us different types of brown rice to show differences. I enjoyed their take on Tom Yam. I think one of the wonderful things they understand is that food IS medicine and it can heal you. I also like that they travel quite a bit, so they have a sophisticated palate, and introduce you to food you've already had, and make it in a new, and creative way. The dessert was also great. It wasn't overwhelming, like it sometimes can be. I ended up taking a lot of photos because they have some of the best presentation around. Thank you, Samuay & Sons!!!!"MesaStila: "Colonial charm fantastic place"
Great place to explore central java, borobudur, prambanan etc. Estate build in colonial times is perfect getaaway from the city. Nice touch with heritage style villas. Coffee plantation tour is fun and informative, get freshly ground coffee as well. Nicely nestled amongs the mountains with spectacular views, infinity pool and a massive spa for those who like to indulge. Food is decent with good mix of western and local food. Great coffee cocktails! Service is also very very good extremely friendly staff.
