sukoon: "Sukoon… Peace of mind"

Review by: Vinod R | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Happened to stay at sukoon for one night. Houseboat is located in one corner of dal lake and it rightfully earns it's name ""sukoon"". All I can hear was birds chirping, occasional ripples of water caused due to shikara and ofcourse my baby girl commenting in her coded language. You will find an amazing team who amongst themselves can communicate in total 10 Indian languages. Give a free hand to chef Anand who can experiment and amaze you with his culinary skills. Try Kashmiri bread with butter and apple cinnamon jam. For travellers who would like to watch TV this place would disappoint you as in principle it's against the theme. For history lovers make sure to read a letter from the office of Neil Armstrong dated 1972. A vote of thanks to tariq, kiran, azad and Anand for their wonderful hospitality. "

Sea Dance Resort: "Friendly and welcoming"

Review by: Abigail F | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is our second trip to Koh Samui and I would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff were friendly and were always available to help and give advice. Breakfast was good and the restaurant served a broad selection of Thai and international dishes throughout the day. One night each week the hotel hosts a cocktail and buffet evening. This was a good opportunity to meet the owner and staff in a casual environment. The individual rooms were clean with large bathrooms and a small private pool out front. The hotel provided robes and indoor slippers as well as flip flops for use around the resort. The main pool was quiet and had a lovely view of the beach and out to sea. The hotel was on a quiet road and some may find it too far from amenities other than a 7-11 close by however, we loved that this hotel was relaxed and felt exclusive. It took us around 20 minutes to walk to the busier main beach area. Overall we had a lovely stay and felt at home immediately. Thanks Sea Dance!"

Tugu Bali: "Amazing fabulous decor"

Review by: Cheryl1002015 | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a lovely dinner at this charming Oriental/Chinese/Asian art inspired restaurant serving Japanese food. Quality of the food was quite good although the staff really need more training with the menu. They weren't sure about the dishes when we asked them and served us a couple of dishes which needed to b changed as it wasn't what we ordered. Overall though it's a really nice restaurant to take friends to for the charming decor and experience.

Satri House: "Great secluded property"

Review by: yuriNYC | Source: Trip Advisor
A wonderful relaxing spot in a beautiful lazy town. Great for an escape from the world especially for a long holiday weekend or even longer if you really plan to explore the region. The staff is amazingly attentive without being pushy.

Anopura: "Amazing creation in middle of nowhere"

Review by: VishvVijaeS | Source: Trip Advisor
"After reading trip advisor review, i booked this smallest luxury Oasis in middle of nowhere. There were no signages, google map was unable to assist you with direction, there was no signage outside the hotel and even the last patch of road was not in existence...... despite all this i just loved this property. I loved it for its tranquility, isolation and the creation of its maker. Anopura is very tastefully made and very professionally managed with limited people hanging on your head. The food was amazing and the dog 'Latika' was the best companion you could expect at a property like it, very well trained and joyful. Having just two rooms adds the charm to the place as it give you lot of privacy. This is simply great for couples looking for intimate and quality time with each other. Property has a beautiful square swimming pool made of black stone. There common place, kind of ‘baithak’, is very well planned and has comfortable seating, one can see 4/5 kind of mosquito repellants placed here as its an open area. I can keep telling all goodies about this place as my list in endless. Finally I will conclude that I fall in love with this place, will surely come again."

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "A Cambodian restaurant not to be missed"

Review by: Belinda L | Source: Trip Advisor
The restaurant is helmed by a French chef who uses fresh local produce, herbs and spices together with his sophisticated cooking technique, taking Cambodian cuisine to next level. The chef greets each table upon guest's arrival by introducing menu of the day, he also presents petit-four to complete our meal. What a sincere and friendly gesture to the customers! The 6-course menu (you can choose 5 too) is very reasonably priced without sacrificing quality and quantity of food, it is definitely a great place to try the flavoursome Cambodian cuisine and spend an evening there.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A top notch mountain lodge"

Review by: Southcol | Source: Trip Advisor
"Beautifully located on a ridge overlooking the valley in front and the mountains above, Tiger Mountain is a perfect retreat for a few days rest. Independent cottages with beautiful sit outs amidst the forest, bird calls and mountain views makes this property special. The eco friendly resort with its own organic vegetable garden and freshly made jams and breads is an experience to be treasured. "

CABOCHON: "Lovely small hotel"

Review by: caron m | Source: tripadvison.com
"Old colonial style boutique hotel with friendly staff. Quiet location on side street. Lovely rooms with interesting furniture and artefacts. Small pool on roof. Lovely smell of burning candles throughout. Cute little restaurant if you don't feel like walking out. Good Thai food plus western options available. Breakfast was good too. Good wifi connection. "

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Lovely, homey, cozy escape."

Review by: GypsyQueen1923 | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a blissful, little get-away. The staff are sincerely helpful and very hospitable. I am always pleased when a resort is built around the nature which must have existed on the land before it came to be. Thus, it was lush and naturally becoming. The rooms are very comfortable, quaint with a surprisingly good attention on the little details. I highly recommend Maison Wat Kor.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Supanniga Eating Room"

Review by: Peter S | Source: Trip Advisor
The restaurant is located in the Sukhumvit district of Bangkok. Despite being on a main street, and having the address written in Thai, our taxi-driver still didn't find it easily (not unusual in Bangkok) so best to get information about the location before you set out, preferably a map. The place is relatively small and fashionably designed, the food is gourmet Thai seafood (apparently from Eastern Thailand). There's a nice cocktail list (and wines, although we didn't try those). In other words, it's at the other end of the scale to the average Thai eatery. Prices were reasonable considering all factors. Between two of us we had a crab curry, crispy stir-fried fish (a kind of Thai version of whitebait), a prawn and bean stir-fry, white rice and black rice. Our waitress was quite a character and spoke very good English. All very good. All in all, a pleasant experience.
