The Island Lodge: "Fantastic paradise getaway from the city"
"The Island Lodge is a superb, boutique hotel located in an idyllic setting in the Mekong Delta. The staff is so attentive, polite and cheerful. The cuisine is exemplary, both Vietnamese and French. We took all of our meals at the lodge and loved every single one. One of our favorites was the freshly baked bread served at each meal. We didn't take the chance to explore Unicorn Island; we just wanted to relax at the lodge and have no regrets. It was so peaceful, calm and relaxing there! We loved the swimming pool which looks out to the Mekong River. The attention to detail by the proprietors, Michel and Francoise, is evident throughout the lodge as their collection of artifacts, sculptures, art and decorations is tastefully placed throughout the property. We stayed for two nights with a 7 year old child and will definitely return! Highly recommended."Samanea Beach Resort: "Great place"
The pier is the star attraction, best place in Kep to experience sunset and because of the small amount of rooms available the resort is never crowded, there are always available beds around the pool. All in all affording a feeling of exclusivity rarely experienced at larger resorts.Reverie Siam Pai: "A distinguished retreat amongst the charm of Pai"
"An excellently laid out design and interior, which evokes an aristocratic air of elegance. A few friends and I came here mid afternoon after a little sightseeing and were treated with great care and attention by the staff. After feasting over a few shared Chef and Mediterranean Vegetable boards, we all left in the highest of spirits."Maison Polanka: "Luxurious and subtle"
Maison Polanka has the kind of subtle elegance that never intrudes. It is beautiful, the rooms and grounds. It is intimate and yet private. You are totally taken care of in an unobtrusive way. And the food is excellent, some of the best we had in Southeast Asia. That said it seems excessive to say that the herbal massage I had (I had a chest cold) was an amazing experience. I reserved months in advance and it was totally worth it.The Village House: "Nirvana in the forest"
What a gem....an hour from Kuching in Santobong village...taxi and shuttle available....close to Damai beach and cultural village....this oasis is so lovely it is hard to leave and go sightseeing....great food, good wine and bar selection...lovely pool and staff that go the extra mile with genuine cheerfulness....will be going back for sureReverie Siam: "Beautiful resort – great place to stay"
I can't recommend Reverie Siam enough! Set in a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of town, Reverie Siam is a relaxing and peaceful retreat. It offers beautiful and comfortable rooms with ensuites (including a deep bath tub), two pools, a restaurant, a free shuttle service into town (including providing a mobile to call them for pick-up), free wifi, and complementary breakfast. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!Cabochon: "Quite an experience – highly reccomendable"
"We found this unique hotel to be in a good part of Bangkok. Close to the Skytrain that connects you to most of the city and to/from the Airport. Very helpfull staff and overall great service level. As this is a boutique hotel with very few rooms, you really feel you get special attention. Nice rooms, with beautiful decor and a nice bathroom. Our room also featured a pleasant balcony (free minibar and fresh fruit daily by the way! Good breakfast as well) We especially liked the roof top terrasse with the large swimmingpool and stunning views of the city. A+ experience and highly reccomendable for those seeking a luxury feeling at very resonable rates."Glenburn Tea Estate: "Fabulous place"
"There’s only one downside - a very rough road to get to it. However, it’s only the final 30 minutes of the trip and trust me, it’s worth it! Large, clean and very comfortable bedrooms, amazing views of the hills of Darjeeling, the tea estates and the snow-capped Himalayas, quality breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner and, in between relaxing, some great things to do. A walk down to the river or up to a viewpoint led to cold towels and drinks, followed by amazing picnics. There are cars to take you everywhere if you don’t want to walk. Highlight for us was spending time with the lovely Nimila, a local guide, who was knowledgeable, happy to talk about her life and the local community, and great company as well. Highly recommended."Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Adventure"
"This is a fantastic experience. The tents are clean and well equipped. The food is authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and was among the best we had on our trip. Meals are communal and the staff are excellent at creating a sociable and welcoming atmosphere. Our guide was Danu. His passion for wildlife was very infectious and he answered all our questions knowledgeably and patiently. We visited quiet and remote areas of the park and had an excellent leopard sighting. We were also lucky enough to see some rare and beautiful birds."SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Neuer Stern am Himmel von Yangon"
Die offizielle Eröffnung des neuen Restaurants ist am 27. Februar. Wir konnten an einem Pre-Testing Essen vorab teilnehmen. Ein absolutes Juwel was Lage, Einrichtung und Qualität des Menus betrifft. Dies wird ein neues absolutes Spitzenrestaurant in Mayanmar, auch nach internationalem Standard. Unbedingt einen Besuch einplanen. Felix Episser und sein Team setzen damit ihre bisherige Erfolgsgeschichte fort. Hervorragende Qualität der Speisen, eine ausgezeichnete Weinauswahl steht bereit und der Service sehr freundlich und effizient.
