Mudanwan Villa: "Very comfortable stay memorable trip"
A parked five food meal of the trip make you feel sloppy, but will not eat too much discomfort, slowly on a road course, every kind of side dishes also carefully executed, like the fruit of it all day, can be a freshly-cut fruit anytime, anywhere. The park has its own lake, with its own spa, with its own swimming pool, free Shihai can go to a nearby borrow a bicycle around the wound. In fact, the whole trip is to stay comfortable with two words to describe, would not say what really incredible place but just a good space, just good service, just a good atmosphere, just good food, it all just right on he created a specialReverie Siam: "Excellent Resort in Pai"
"We had a great time staying at this resort. We really do appreciate all the attention to details as well as all the special care that we had received from the staffs and management throughout our stay. Foods at the restaurant were very nice from breakfast dishes to lunch and dinners. We were lucky enough to be able to meet with the young owner. We can tell that he really love what he is doing. He put a lot of effort and his heart on this property. All the very best to the owner and staffs. Thank you ver much for a great stay. We will definitely come back to stay with you again. "Sea Dance Resort: "Best Stay Ever"
"I must say, my stay at Sea Dance was one of the best stays ever. i'd like to thank each team member at Sea Dance for making our stay so much memorable. Special appriciation & thanks to Art, Dany & Helen for special help by guiding to visit the best places in town. Over & above the special daily care & greeting for the extraodrinary help in getting us Veg Food on demand was icing on the cake. Thanks again & wish to visit again & meet you all soon."Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Simply wonderful"
"Wonderful place highly recommend it . We spent New Year's Eve here and it was fantastic . Inle Heritage has only 6 rooms which makes it very cosy and exclusive . The whole structure is built on stilts on the southern side of the lake. The rooms are very spacious and the bathroom is made in traditional style with good space for clothing . Every room stands alone with great privacy and a terrace with sunbeds overlooking the lake . So peaceful and truly special . Inle Heritage is not just a guest house is also the training grounds for 48 local students which attend hospitality classes on site everyday , however you wouldn't even realise that if not told as they are organically blending with the place daily activities. By staying here you contribute to their tuition fees as 60 % is reinvested in the community and different programs that run onsite . One other beautiful touch is the vegetable gardens that are grown onsite and everything you eat is freshly picked from there daily . Inle Heritage also runs a reintegration program of the Burmese cats, as they were apparently disappearing from their original land . There is a section , like a small island , that completely dedicated to the cats . I find it quite cute , but I am a cat lover , otherwise could come across a little random if you would ask my boyfriend instead:))) On site there is a shop which sells most products you will find around on your artisan village visits , I think quality here was better and even cheaper than in the small artisan shops . Few notes on the place : dress warm as in the morning and evenings gets very chilly ( December / January i was there ) Take into account around 20$ for each transfer from and to the hotel as is surrounded by water so you need to take a boat ( which is a nice experience on its own) to get anywhere Highly recommend the sunset on the lake The staff is magnificent and the level of service was comparable to European standards , food also fantastic they even catered for me being a vegetarian adapting all menus; the warmth and attentiveness of the people here do make it a truly unforgettable experience . Hope to be back one day and wish you an amazing stay Stayed January 2017"Mie Cafe: "Chef’s recommendation"
We ended up trying this restaurant from the recommendation of the head chef of Lecuisine Wat Damnak (another review), and we loved it. Cozy fine dining restaurant, where we ended up trying some of the a la carte dishes instead of the degustation menu. Really enjoyed the food (new Khmer dishes) and atmosphere, and even despite a heavy rainstorm, which caused a semi-flood in the outdoor seating area. Made it extra cozy.Slow Villas and Spa: "Amazing villa, couldn’t have asked for more"
"From start to finish we were made to feel very welcome, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The villa was beautiful, very nicely decorated, the private pool was great. Breakfasts were amazing, brought to our villa at a requested time and laid out on the garden table to enjoy the morning. We were treated to a complimentary massage in the adjoining spa which was very relaxing and free pilates in the mornings was a very enjoyable bonus. The only minor comment would be that a couple of things like bike hire and laundry service seemed needlessly overpriced. If I returned to Gili Air I would stay here again."Rachamankha: "Rachamankha Chiang Mai — Perfect Hotel!"
Quaint, quiet, peaceful -- we arrived Christmas night (2017) and had dinner in the open-air/outdoor dining area. There was a beautiful, roaring fire (real fire, not gas!) and a duet playing Christmas songs. Could not have been a more perfect evening. This is a lovely hotel. Service and food was excellent! Located in the center of town -- perfect location.Tugu Bali: "Funky and Gorgeous and Romantic"
"This is a very colorful, unique hotel with a very funky Japanese restaurant that feels like a Shanghai opium den. The rooms are beautiful and romantic. Lots of antiques everywhere, great photography and generally all around wonderful service. Right across the street from a great, bright and spacious restaurant called Old Man to have lunch at with a young and gorgeous surfer crowd. The lobby is huge and dramatic, they have dance performances on certain nights that are beautiful and entirely non- cheesy. Can't recommend enough. You feel like you are in a movie. Jenny, the manager, is a delight and super helpful. We had friends come and visit from an hour away and they said it was worth the trip just to see the hotel. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"Samanea Beach Resort: "It’s gorgeous place!"
Manager who was very kindly friendly with their guests. The room look like older but seems to be based traditional structure of the local citizen. The outside bathroom is definitely a unique feature. The resort was very silence that you could heard some songs from insects in night time hi hi hi. The beach that where you maybe swim but watch sunrise or sunset then that is a great experience. The long wharves that made me better feeling as on the sea by my foot. The food was so good. There are not many rooms in this resort with their large site, almost of them for tree, swimming pool. With kindly noted, the resort must control better against mosquito. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.Manda De Laos: "Best duck I’ve ever eaten"
"We got here around half 6 without booking and managed to get a table for 2. We ordered a cocktail and ice tea which were both delicious. For food we had the Laap balls to start, which were 6 meatballs with a dipping sauce, very good and just the right size to share as a starter. For main we had the tamarind duck and the buffalo steak with one serve of crunchy coconut rice. The meats were cooked to perfection. The buffalo was the requested medium rare and the duck just slightly pink and very tender with crispy skin. Even the rice was delicious, it came as a good size portion, enough to share between 2 with the generous servings of meat. Although the most expensive food we have had in luang prabang it was by far the best meal so definitely worth the little bit extra!"
