Mathis Retreat: "Very relaxing stay – very good value for money"

"We stayed 4 nights in April with a 2 years old, it was our second stay and we enjoyed it again very much. Scenery and landscape of the hotel are just fantastic, the personalized service very enjoyable. Karine the Manager had great tour suggestions and recommended a very nice and competent guy. A special mention for the restaurant of the hotel (Terra cotta), where all the food there was very good every time (try the desserts!) and the service top level. Definitely a very good value for money. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

The Island Lodge: "Lovely rest at the end of our trip to Vietnam"

This was a great place to finish up our trip. Boutique hotel, lovely facilities, not busy, excellent restaurant. The staff were particularly good, so helpful and charming, We thoroughly enjoyed our last few days in this wonderful country,

Labyrinth: "Singapore hawker taste in a restaurant"

We had a lovely experience with the chef tasting and wine paring menu. We enjoyed the taste of singapore hawker food in chef's Han dishes, hidden in a corner at esplanade. Interior is cosy with traces of local touch. Would recommend bringing my foreign friends who are visiting to try the dishes in a setting like this.

The Hue House: "Dinner"

Probably the best meal so far in Saigon this beautiful Vietnamaurrant sits on top of mastr building .Quite difficult to find but well worth the effort.Xcellnt food and staff very friendly price rang very reasonable

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Exquisite!"

"I was very impressed! And usually I’m not by most things fusion. But here you have some very regular Thai dishes that have been modified with a flair! Different, special, and high quality ingredients are incorporated, expect unusual and beautiful presentations yet many of the flavours are so true Thai originals, especially like the curries, here served as sauce/gravy. These flavours are distinctly Thai and have not been altered, and I find I difficult to get these typical flavours in most other Thai restaurants nowadays! We were a group of five so did get to try a large selection from the menu. Almost everything left me wanting more!! Location is a bit hard to find, tucked in little lane off Narathiwat Road also accessible from Silom. I would go again, and would recommend highly, especially for those looking for Thai food with a creative touch! "

Mathis Retreat: "Very nice Boutique Hotel"

I stayed at the Mathis Retreat with a friend for 2 nights and we loved it. The rooms are specious and very beautiful. The breakfast is great and right next to the pool with a beautiful view over a rice fields. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience, thank you.

Hotel Tugu Malang: "Fantastic museum that functions as a splendid hotel"

"The Hotel Tugu in Malang is truly a gem that is worth visiting when in the area. The high tea is amazing in a colonial setting with a huge array of teas and coffees and also the accompanying delicacies. I highly recommend going on the art tour with Manda, the Guest Recognition Officer. She eloquently explained the most important pieces of art and gave us a nice tour through the whole hotel. In the evening we went to the (cigar) bar, where there's an impressive selection of cocktails, wines and spirits. The bartender was a bit disconnected, but made good cocktails. The breakfast was the only part we were able to enjoy at the restaurant, since we went somewhere else for dinner. Again, a huge selection from which you can choose your preference (healthy options included). Certainly worth visiting, especially for the price they offer. I can even highly recommend the Presidential Suite for 15,000,000 that Manda was so kind to show us. What an impressively sized bed it has, wow! John from the reception was extremely kind too! I almost forgot the most amazing part: even though it's located right in the heart of the city and next to a busy road, the rooms are completely quiet and you enjoy a relaxing sleep."

Chakrabongse Villas: "A gourmet REAL THAI meal"

This traditional Thai décor restaurant near Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) on the Chao Phraya River has both indoor, air-conditioned, tables and, if the weather cooperates, outdoor tables. Reservations are a must, online if you like, as this pricey, high-end traditional Thai food service only serves 30 diners a night ! The menu is fixed, it's pricey by Thai standards but not foreign standards and it is well worth a special visit, romantic or best friends. Not suitable for young kids: no place to romp, lengthy multiple course service. The menu changes daily depending on what the chef can find, and you'll only be able to modestly substitute for allergies or strong dislikes. For those looking for exquisitely prepared Thai cuisine in a set menu, multiple course, fixed price dining experience you should not miss this wonderful food!

The Cabochon Hotel: "A little Oasis in Bangkok"

"A wonderful stay in a good location with a 10 minute walk to 2 sky train stations. Welcoming and charming in a time warp back to the French 1920's style with great detail and awesome real local food and well priced. Little nooks to have breaky, read and chill were great as was the relaxing pool area. This is an 8 room hotel that can cater to about 16 rooms, truly unique, our room / lounge was superb. We felt like we were staying at friends and with a warm goodbye wave from the GM and staff on the steps confirmed this. Totally helpful staff and English spoken by all made life easy."

Manukan Island Resort: "Really worth the price and best ever for manukau island!"

We booked a hillside villa and the view is amazing! It’s nearer to the resorts private beach and far from the public beach which has a lot of tourists during daytime. The hillside villa is a cozy and clean and tidy bungalow. The only thing I wouldn’t like much in the island I think is the sunset point, which we walked for approx. 1/2 hour but just couldn’t see the sunset as the sun was covered by the cloud! And I have forgotten to bring the torch light so we have to walk in the dark in the forest trail! Other than that everything is so perfect and terrific! I give it a five star!
