Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Hard to find, worth the search"

"The restaurant space is clean, comfortable and a bit minimalist in design. The food is creative an superb. We like to select wines that do not typically appear on wine lists and we chose a glass of Cremant de Jura to start. Dishes of note included large river prawns with pork belly jam and shrimp paste, an incredible sous-vide pork jawl and an aged beef tenderloin. We finshed by sharing a duck egg custard with rice powder. All presented as creative interpetations and generally suggestive Thai flavors. Chef Ton oversees all and appeared to inspect every dish before they went to the table. Despite his resume, Chef Ton is quite young and should be heard from in the future. A tip to find Le Du if you go: when you turn off Silom Road onto Silom 7 Alley go to the end of the alley, to the T and you will find Le Du on the kleft."

NEELESHWAR: "Heavenly"

"This gem of a place in northern Kerala was like heaven on earth. Very elegant and huge rooms with an even more gorgeous bathroom. The beach (Arabian sea) was just perfect and very clean. The food served was really delicious and fresh. We did not take any of the guided tours offered, but I presume that is good as well. Overall, we had a perfect and peaceful holiday at Neeleshwar! "

Talabgaon Castle: "Very unique and relaxing"

"My family and I stayed at the castle for three nights and spent Christmas there this year. It was wonderful, and a great place to slow down in between more hectic Indian stops. We entirely enjoyed the brief camel wagon ride to a small and under-visited Indian village. A great stop in between crazy and hectic Jaipur. Breakfast on the terrace and dinner next to the fireplace on the cool December nights were charming. We even had a local music group perform for us on Christmas Eve. It will certainly be a highlight of our time in India. My son even tried the pool even as it was only 50° outside"

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "What a great experience"

"I spend 3 nights at this beautiful Hanok and it was an amazing experience ! Rakkojae is in the hearth of Bukchon, in a very quiet alley. But still, its in the centre of Seoul, Anguk Subway Station is just 5 minutes away, and plenty of restaurants, sights, shops etc. are in easy walking distance (...) Dinner and breakfast are included, and are traditional and very tasty. You can also have a continental breakfast with toast and eggs if you prefer. Korean breakfast was with smoked fish (very tasty), abalone porridge (tasty, but a bit too excotic for me as a breakfast dish) and I was glad that on the third morning (I had continental breakfast on the second morning) there was a tasty soup instead of the porridge. The ladies who run Rakkojae are very friendly. I tried the Mud Sauna on the 3rd night and liked it a lot (so I wish I had tried it on the first night already). Overall, I loved it at Rakkojae, and can only recommend it. Its an amazing and beautiful place, that words can really describe. You have to go there and experience it yourself. And if you can, stay for at least 2 nights."

Villa Song Saigon: "Incredible Stay"

"We greatly enjoyed everything about our stay at Villa Song. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the grounds and pool are immaculate. The private boat ride to the hotel was great fun, and the staff were fantastic. They knew us by name and accommodated our every request. The outdoor dining was some of the best dining of our entire trip. The food was superb - Vietnamese with modern flair, and very creative. We were impressed by every meal and drink. We came here to celebrate our honeymoon, and we felt like royalty the entire time. Cannot recommend enough! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Lombok: "GREAT HOTEL 5"

"Beautiful hotel !!!! Large property with beautiful grounds . Many places to sit and enjoy a romantic evening. Staff in this place is utterly great . From security till manager all are great people . The service is great . Especially on the Beach ! The beach boys are so friendly and always do Everything to make you pleased . Definitely recommend"

Jing’s Residence: "Somewhere different with old style class"

A different location, a relatively small, old walled city and accomodation to match. The only downside would be Pingyoa has too many shops selling virtually identical goods! The city wall is well worth a walk around.

Villa Song Saigon: "Villa Song is fantastic"

"We, parents with kids (10 and 13) had two few day stays in Villa Song during our trip through Vietnam and it has been absolute bliss! The rooms are great and the staff is super friendly and helpful! The pool is big and, important in hot Vietnam, refreshing, and the fitness studio is well equipped with top quality Technogym machines. Then the food - breakfast available around the clock and everything you want, and more, is freshly made for you. The chef from Luxembourg is not only top-notch, he's also an interested and very friendly person. We can only give Villa Song a full 5* rating!"

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Deserves it’s great reputation"

"Lovely decor, lovely building, excellent staff, convenient quiet location, great breakfasts. Don't use Mr Noi Monyoopanow as your limousine driver. He chain talked to a variety of women using several phones for the whole trip to Hua Hin, often driving fast one handed. Front office and all staff were extremely helpful, and fantastic. Great breakfast. In retrospect we should have had dinner here, rather than a very underwhelming expensive meal at Nahm (which I wouldn't recommend - see separate review). Would suggest that each room have it's own iron and ironing board, although this was quickly provided. We also asked that our room be sprayed against mosquitoes after we left in the evening, although we had no problem with mosquitoes, just noticed loosely fitting balcony doors. Pool area was nothing special, but adequate, and we certainly enjoyed a quick dip in the pool at the end a day out, before getting ready for dinner. Would highly recommend, and we hope to stay again when next in BKK."

Manukan Island Resort: "Wonderful experience"

We stayed in hillside villa to celebrate our anniversary. The room was exceptional and beach view is astonishing! Service is great and even able to setup a romantic dinner by the beach on same day request. Despite the forecast of rainshower at night it was still a success. They also have a rondalla that serenades us while we eat. Only thing we didn't like is the breakfast. But overall it's a wonderful experience.
