Tugu Bali: "Paradise in Bali"
We spent the last night here after a three week holiday travelling around Bali. This was a birthday treat and the icing on my cake! It is a very stylish and unqiue hotel full of the most beautiful pieces of Balinese artworks. Our room was on the second floor overlooking koi ponds with the sea in the background. It was a stunning room with a gorgeous sunken bath and a huge fabulously comfortable bed. The staff and service were amazing as was the food. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will certainly come back.Maduzi Hotel: "Truly the best ‘boutique style’ hotel in Bangkok"
"The Maduzi never fails. Fantastically located just off Asoke & about 200 metres to the SkyTrain. The Maduzi is stylish, modern though at the same time it feels like you’re at home. The rooms are fantastic, large, the biggest beds you’ll find in Bangkok & lovely appointed bathrooms with amenities. The hotel has a good size restaurant which serves beautiful breakfasts & to say the most gorgeous bircher muesli I have ever had. So many hotels are alike but at the Maduzi, the staff really makes this place top-notch. They are always welcoming, friendly & always up for a chat. Undoubtedly, the best small hotel in Bangkok. Cannot wait to return!"Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Superb way to finish off your tour."
"Strange as it may seem. But we could not wait for the last four days of our holiday !! This lodge did not disappoint, the attention to detail, to ensure that your stay has the best chance of being a memorable one is impressive. There will always be somebody who will find fault, that is life ! The views are spectacular, the food excellent, ambiance spot on. We decided to have two days trekking, our guide Saajan was informative and considerate, and tailored the routes to suit our abilities, which was much appreciated by my wife who is not always the most sure footed rambler. The packed lunches were something that Enid Blyton would of approved of !! Marcus and his team can be proud of the experience they are delivering to their guests, and we will be returning to enjoy this hospitality as soon as we can. Thanks to all the team at Tiger mountain lodge."Hotel Tugu Bali: "Heritage meets comfort"
I have been now twice and both were such a relaxing and comfortable stays with the feeling of heritage and historic ambiance and modern comfort at the same time. The staff is very attentive and supported me in my extra demands. I highly recommend (and have to my friends) Hotel Tugu Bali.Akame: "Must try Taiwanese aboriginal cuisine"
"Amazing dinner at Akame! A modern Taiwanese aboriginal cuisine restaurant in Pingtung, the two chefs Alex and Sky are both Rukai people, creating new styles of aboriginal grilled cuisine. Grilled quail with black garlic sauce and grilled Taiwanese pork are my most favorite. If they have mullet wine, it's perfect match with grilled meat."Villa Song: "An amazing oasis of calm"
HCMC is a crazy, busy, polluted, energetic, frenetic place to visit and Villa Song is a gentle oasis of calm on the river where you can unwind from a busy day in the city. If you want to be right at the heart of the city, this probably isn't the place for you, as it's some way out... but having said that, they have a private boat service to take guests into town that operates throughout the day. I found it far better to be out of the city and to have a quieter place to stay instead. The spa is good, the pool is fab and the views, accommodation, food and service are totally worth the premium. Thoroughly recommended!Reverie Siam Pai: "Upscale resort in the mid of Pai valley!"
Upon arriving at the resort after a long and exhausted journey from Chiangmai, I found a germ in the hill country town of Pai. Unassuming but luxurious, the resort was truly a rare find in this remote area of Thailand. Its garden with well maintained and manicured green "maze" lead to the pool and bungalows. Room was large with a spacious bathroom with beautiful 19th century style bathtub. From the room's balcony, you can have view of surrounding mountains and the beautiful landscape of the whole resort. Staffs were friendly and helpful. However, the most impressive thing about this resort was its opened air restaurant. The foods and service were outstanding, especially its pizza and Italian dishes-no less authentic and delicious than the same dishes in Rome or New York! We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. The resort was about 10 min ride by the complimentary electric cart provided by the resort and only 2 minutes from the best spa in Pai.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Superb"
"What a wonderful place. We are not easily impressed as we have been working in the travel industry for years so have stayed in some of the top hotels of the world but Neeleshwar is exceptional. We stayed 6 nights and left regrettably so happy and relaxed. Everything was perfection!!"THE SAMAR: "Very nice retreat"
"We stayed in double bedroom apartment (4 people) and had a wonderful stay. Building and decoration of exquisite taste, remarkable artifacts you would not find in standard hotels, rooms in pre-existing local houses, refurbished with attention. Location is half way between crowded city center and Ankor Wat - tuktuk is definitely needed but arranged by the staff. Food is really good, and staff really helpful - they were kind enough to arrange for us a barbecue after an event outside. Very nice! The pool is very comfortable and enjoyable. We definitely recommend "The Apsara Rive Droite: "Loved it!"
This hotel is just a 2 min boat trip across the river from its sister hotel Apsara in the old town. You just drop by at their receptions and tell them you whenever you need to cross. Very convenient. Apsara Rive Droite is a little gem with a pool, a nice garden, beautiful rooms and a pleasant little restaurant and bar. The hotel manager (Hann) is the perfect host with his friendly, yet professional style. Even if the hotel is just two minutes by boat fron the old town, it is located in a less touristy area. I quite enjoyed strolling i this neighbourhood too as it gave glimpses into laotian everyday life. This includes the morning alm cermony that takes place on the road just outside the hotel.
