Amata Lanna: "Wonderful Hospitality"

Review by: Splodge72 | Source: Trip Advisor
My parents stayed at the hotel earlier this year for a few nights. Both of them are in their mid-seventies and still fit and able. However, they appreciate a little extra comfort and service, and this is exactly what they received at the Amata Lanna. They loved the amenities, the food, the location and most of all the staff. Keep up the good work guys!!!

Misool Eco Resort: "Almost Unbelievable"

Review by: TonksMeow | Source: Trip Advisor
Spent a very happy week here after a previous week in Northern Raja Ampat. The diving here is the best we have ever experienced with seemingly endless coral gardens and abundant fish. The lagoon on which the resort was built houses many juvenile fish and sharks and can be snorkeled directly from your cabin. Cabins are excellent and the whole resort beautiful but what makes it is the staff - friendly, attentive and passionate about what they do ... the daily fresh biscuits aren't bad either. Magic Mountain is the best dive site... I could dive it every day and never be bored.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Stunning location – pontoon into the sea a great plus"

Review by: GenevaBeaver | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were only there for one night, but it's a spectacular location - 12 nicely designed bungalows in a green park where you can't see or hear your neighbors. There were two Khmer families shooting their wedding albums - which gives you some idea of how nice it was - and with a 25 mètre pool you don't need to do into the sea - but there is a 59 mètre or so pier which takes you over the initial mud and far enough out that the sea is easy to swim in Food was excellent - although slightly bizarrely they had no fish or crabs. Extremely Eco friendly, and very nice staff Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Some people’s idea of heaven"

Review by: mznw3 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We got ill on our way to this hotel so we weren't in good shape when we arrived, and we spent our two nights here recovering. It was a great place to do this - the room was beautiful and enormously comfortable and it was all very peaceful and quiet. The staff were very kind and attentive and we are very grateful to them. This is the kind of place that many (British) people would think was heaven - on the sea, very quiet, a little bubble of perfect bliss - a kind of honeymoon place. If this is what you like, the place should have six stars. But we aren't so fond of that kind of place - we prefer staying in places with domestic as well as foreign tourists and which are a little bit more lively. In summary, the property promises peace and quiet and that's what it delivers in spades - it's our problem and not the hotel's that it's not entirely our thing. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Charming Boutique Hotel"

Review by: Nephilim242 | Source: tripadvisor.com
Fell in love with this hotel as soon as I arrived and had to sit in the magnificent library for a while to wait until my room was ready. This hotel reminded me of a smaller version of Raffles in Singapore. Great attention to detail, superb breakfast, friendly staff and spacious rooms. Loved the pool on top of the residence and had a great meal at the restaurant. Location is superb with close proximity to BTS and other excellent restaurants at Rain Hill.

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Perfect escape"

Review by: Lexi M | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel was the perfect way to end our trip in Thailand. The hotel was even better than described/pictured. It is in a great area, close to the sky train but secluded and peaceful. Definitely a beautiful boutique hotel with amazing service. I only wish we had stayed longer to take advantage of the pool and the restaurant, but the bar and breakfast were wonderful! Our room was picturesque (in addition to the rest of the hotel). We will definitely be back and would recommend the Cabochon to anyone!

Tugu Lombok: "Paradise!"

Review by: Burgey44 | Source: Trip Advisor
Where do I start?! Our greeting on arrival was kind and sincere. We had a tour of the complex by the manager, who pointed out everything you needed to know. While unpacking, we received fresh coconut water which we could see being chopped down just outside our bungalow. The rooms were lovely, with a grand outdoor bathtub and a large open shower. The grounds were stunning, and everyone who worked there were incredibly friendly. The hotel has two beautiful pools, it's right on the beach and they do private day tours to the Gili islands which I would highly recommend. The breakfasts are to die for, and a good hour every morning was spent enjoying and trying everything on the menu (over the 4 days of course) which was no mean feat as the menu was huge and catered for everyone. There is also a gym which you can create a decent work out in. We enjoyed an amazing couples massage by the beach, followed by champagne and dinner under the stars. It was a truly unforgettable experience and I would really love to return one day. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff for making our stay!

Rachamankha: "A wonderful hotel to experience"

Review by: John G | Source: Trip Advisor
We visited Chaing Mai in early November, 2017. Travelling were my wife and I, plus our son and his wife. We booked a two-room suite for 4 nights at Rachamankha and were absolutely delighted with everything about this wonderful hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very spacious. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms spotlessly clean and modern. The buildings and grounds are gorgeous and the pool and public spaces are very inviting and provide a relaxing retreat after a busy day of visiting temples, markets, and the many other sites in and around Chaing Mai. The complimentary breakfast is fabulous and we were warmly greeted each morning by Ahwu who, along with the rest of the staff, provided excellent service. The location in a relatively quite corner of the old city couldn't be more convenient for walking or riding. As a bonus, it's just around the corner from SP Chicken which serves the most delicious (and inexpensive) grilled chicken ever! I would most certainly stay at Rachamankha again and recommend it to anyone visiting Chaing Mai.
