The Island Lodge: "Made From My Dreams"

Well what a place. My wife and I decided to try and walk from the barriers on the Island to the Island Lodge. We got over half way when one of the staff spotted us on their scooter and kindly told us to wait and sent the golf buggy to collect us. What a saviour she was. Upon reaching the reception we were greeted with a cool face towel which was such a lovely touch along with the most delicious of welcome drinks and a small welcome set of canapés. What a lovely extra. We were taken to our room and were absolutely made up with it. Everything we needed and things thought of with common sense. (...) All the food provided is well cooked and tastes great especially the Vietnamese cuisine. This means you do not need to go anywhere other than stay, relax and indulge. We hired bikes which was great and headed into My Tho. When my wife got a puncture the staff were so happy to help her get back to base and replace the bike. Michael and François are an insperation with what they have done and are doing, especially when you talk to them abou their past and how they came to set up this place of sheer luxury. They even surprised me with a glass of fizz and cake for my birthday whilst we were staying there yet another lovely touch. I cannot recommend this place highly enough I just wish there was 5 plus star to rate here. Thank you again to the team for such a wonderful stay.

The Village House: "Hidden Gem"

"Being a local, coming here felt like an 'easy escape.' Not much travelling needed but gives every good feeling a getaway would. Room is clean, tastefully decorated. The place felt very private which is perfect for if you want to 'escape' from people and just have a me time with yourself and your partner. Food is decent but don't expect much. However, having a quiet dinner by the pool and a rustic wooden decorated place helps a lot in adding the 'taste' to the food - in a good way. There isn't really much to do there - but that's what getaway are all about - you really just want to spent time in the room, doing nothing. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Stayed May 2016, traveled as a couple"

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Wonderful family holiday"

We stayed here for 11 days with 2 small children in April 2017 and were the last to leave before they closed for monsoon season. We were really worried about the weather at this time of year but it was beautiful and couldnt have been more perfect. This is a very private, unspoilt place to enjoy a family holiday. The food was fantastic, and a really good effort was made by the kitchen to keep the menu varied throughout our stay. The little pizza bar run by Gai down at the beach was great too. Massi and the team were outstanding, we really felt like we were in our own private island paradise. We stayed in Metha, which was wonderful.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Fab authentic Isaan food, in comfortable premise"

"It's easy to find average thai food in Bangkok, but this place has consistently served up high quality Isaan food, in an atmospheric building with super helpful staff. It's not cheap but as varied and interesting as street food It's tough to find - go to thong lor and the up the Soi about 400 m. It is just before the 8ight shopping centre. You have to look hard as it is Narrow, 4 storey Building with the sign hidden by power cables in the street Book a table as I was disappointed once - this place is very popular with Locals and expats especially at weekends The food is derived from Isaan favourites and put together by grandma! I can say that everything we tried was outstanding. Particular favs were the Isaan sausage, fab red and green curries, noodles. One friend said this was the best restaurant he had ever been to - big call. Enjoy"

Villa Song Saigon: "Charming Boutique Hotel"

We loved this place. It's a stunning villa with a gorgeous pool which is open late into the evening. The highlight for us was the breakfast which can be taken any time of day - who knew beef pho and French toast go so well together?! The area is a bit sterile (lots of international schools and expat compounds) but we just wanted to chill by the pool so this was a perfect end to our short stay in Vietnam. Particularly grateful for accommodating our request for a late checkout. Nice little gym too. Would love to return.

The Tiger’s Eye: "The attention to detail and clear passion for food is impressive!"

After a day of bustling around Cambodia, sitting down to a long dinner with a friend at The Tigers Eye was just the sanctuary we needed. Not at all stuffy, but definitely an air of simple elegance. The staff are friendly and attentive and clearly are committed to the product that is coming to your table. The menu satisfies all range of happy consumers. This is one menu that certainly does not leave vegetarians as an after thought! The home made tofu and fresh egg noodle dish was sublime and a true indication of the love and pride Chef Tim has for the treats coming from his kitchen. My more carniverous partner in food,was equally as impressed with her confit duck curry. An indication of the scope of what is availble here.As for my dessert.... The much maligned jackfruit combined with other tropical fruit shines in this icecream combination with honey and subtle earthy (and so on trend) tumeric icecream and sticky rice donuts complete the dish perfectly. Very much looking forward to my return here!

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "SUPERB"

"It is hard to know where to start with a review of this wonderful establishment. The Nepali food on offer was the best we had in Nepal. The staff and management are wonderful. Caring, kind and hospitable. Nothing is too much trouble. We had room 11 and were extremely happy there. Our comfort was paramount to every member of staff. We had the unfortunate experience of my husband becoming quite ill after our 8 day trek and whilst he was in hospital in Pokhara the compassion and concern of the management and staff towards both my husband’s recovery and my well-being was amazing. As well as organising medical care swiftly, they also drove me up and down the mountain daily at my request with never anything but a happy attitude. The management ensured I never felt alone whilst staying there and in fact I felt that I met some truly wonderful people. I can honestly say the experience at the Tiger Mountain Lodge was just like being with family- so comfortable. Thank you all so much - you are wonderful. Adrian and Katie Hollister"

Babe: "Amazing view, amazing food"

The restaurant is on the 11th floor of an office block, and has uninterrupted views of the twin towers and KL skyline. Everyone in our party took pictures, including the locals. The food is modern Japanese. We had the tasting menu which had some great items. However we ordered a couple from the menu and they were fantastic too. If you are there for a birthday then let them know - the card you get is unique

Yandabo Home: "Zwischenstopp mandalay-bagan"

"Ein kleines Schmuckstück im nirgendwo! Wir haben die kleine Auszeit zwischen vollgepackten Tagen in den größeren Städten sehr genossen! Die Zimmer sind unglaublich geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber! Service war schon fast unangenehm gut;)... es sprangen so viele Service Personen um uns herum aber trotzdem diskret wenn wir unsere Ruhe haben wollten! Frühstück war für uns das beste in ganz Myanmar! Auch das es kein Internet gab fanden wir eher sehr positiv! So habe ich mal die Zeit nutzen können alles erlebte in Ruhe aufzuschreiben! Uns hat es sehr sehr gut dort gefallen und können wir für jeden weiter empfehlen der Ruhe sucht für 1-2 Tagen!"

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Perfection"

"This was one of our favorite places that we stayed on our 3 week tour of Thailand. We loved the private beach; the layout of the rooms and the wonderful food and drinks. However, what absolutely made this hotel was the staff. They were so friendly and accommodating and took Thai hospitality to a whole another level. It rained the entire time we were on Koh Samui, flooding even, and we wouldn't have changed a thing because Sea Dance still made our trip perfect! Thank you to Poy, Tum, Chef Toy, David and the rest of our friends at Sea Dance! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"
