Neeleshwar Hermitage: "A piece of heaven"

"This is my second visit to Neeleshwar Hermitage and by the looks of it won't be my last. The weather was perfect and the hospitality was perfect and thoughtful. Check in was smooth - they even kept the restaurant open past its timings for my arrival which was very thoughtful of them. Libin and Sharath at the restaurant were very good. The food on the first day was fabulous (some great grilled fish and prawn curry). On the rest of the days it was just ok though the breakfast was very good. I also really enjoyed my morning coffee on the veranda. The pool is perfect, there were no intrusions and my request for drinks were quickly attended to. The cottage room is big and comfortable and i got some well deserved rest. The only disappointment was that the restaurant by the beach was closed because of the monsoons, though I must say their main restaurant is beautifully done up. The resort itself is very beautiful with views of the crashing waves of the ocean. Overall it is a great place to get some rest and get away from hectic schedules. The staff go way out of their way to make you comfortable without being intrusive in any manner. I really appreciated the efforts they put in to make sure I had a good holiday and I was very impressed. My sincere thanks to them all. My only recommendation is that more boards be put up on the main road so that the resort is easier to locate. The resort is 2.5 hours from Mangalore airport which is quite a ride. As a tip i would recommend that guests call up the resort for their bookings and you might get a great deal like i did! A slice of heaven on earth -not to be missed for those looking for a relaxing holiday! https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g1809068-d1204939-r382338334-Neeleshwar_Hermitage-Kasaragod_Kerala.html#"

Locavore: "EXQUISITE"

For what you pay for, you are getting a Michelin style restaurant meal. There were certain courses that did not hit it out of the park, but overall the dining experience was superb. Easily the highlight of my Bali trip.

Arumdalu: "Great experience"

The best resort on the island, the beach at the back of the resort is totally private, feels like i owned the beach by myself, food at the resort is great, just abit pricey for belitung island... But so far this is the best experience …

The Village House: "Ruhe nach dem Abenteuer"

Im Anschluss unserer Rundreise haben wir ein paar Nächte im Village House bei Flora (eine herzensgute Dame) und ihren Kollegen verbracht. Perfekt geeignet zum Abschalten. Ja, eine Moschee befindet sich direkt gegenüber und der Prediger mag einen das erste Mal "wecken". Aber who cares?! In anderen muslimisch geführten Teilen dieser Wet verhält es sich genauso und sollte kein Störfaktor sein. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich hergerichtet, die Badezimmer großzügig konzipiert, das Essen schmackhaft & frisch (nur die Crème Brûlée besteht zu 90% aus Butter ;) , der Pool herrlich erfrischend und sauber und die Liegemöglichkeiten eignen sich hervorragend, um einen ganzen Tag am Pool zu liegen, dort zu lesen sowie Musik zu hören und die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Ein Supermarkt & Foodcourt ist NICHT fußläufig zu erreichen. Taxis sind jedoch spottgünstig und Fahrräder sind gratis auszuleihen. Am besten nutzen sie die Strände bei ihren Aufenthalten zuvor. Der Village House Strand in ca 300 Meter Entfernung ist nicht zu empfehlen. Also, solange Sie wissen, was Sie wollen, bekommen Sie mit der Ruheoase Village House genau DAS, was Sie wollen. Toller Abschluss.

Cuca: "Outstanding restaurant"

I took a friend to Cuca on our first night in Bali and we were absolutely wowed by the entire experience, so much so that we returned the following night to try the rest of the menu and double up on a couple of favourites from the previous evening. The ambience and service is top notch but the food is amazing! Hard to describe the mix of flavours, freshness and presentation. Each dish was a photo opportunity and a taste explosion. I can highly recommend a visit.

Satri House: "WONDERFUL STAY AT SATRI HOUSE"

We (9 ladies) stayed at SATRI HOUSE 22 October for 3 nights. What an amazing tranquil place to stay. I cannot fault the service,the rooms, the breakfast or the staff. It was decorated with so many antiquities that everyday you discovered something new. It has 2 pools and lounge rooms that are devine. The Spa there was fantastic - had to use everyday. If you ever need some beauty and peace this is the place to stay - a very short walk or tuk tuk into town - a few minutes. I need to take my husband there to unwind. It really was a special place...would highly recommend!

Les Maisons d’Itac: "Worth The Effort"

"I considered whether to score 4 or 5 for a couple of days and despite a couple of criticisms decided it was worthy of a 5 rating. First things first - it is unsignposted and extremely difficult to find. Even locals seem unaware of it and unable to help with directions. The Manager, Bryan, explained that they try and keep it exclusive. I think they are taking this exclusivity too far. There were only two of the beautiful chalets occupied during our stay. This place deserves to be fully booked every day of every week. One nagging question I was left with was whether the (French?) owners wanted to sacrifice custom for this quiet exclusivity or if it was really Bryan who didn't want the place busy! But lets look at the accomodation. Stunning and superb. It was so relaxing. Each chalet / villa had a good-sized private pool with views to die for. The resort would be ideal for two or more familes to get away and spend a great time together. Dinner was effectively take it or leave it with only two choices, however it tasted wonderful. I will definitely go back for a long weekend when I get the chance. Loved the place."

The Island Lodge: "Excellent location, great food, fantastic staff"

"We just stayed in the Island Lodge for a night and we only regret one thing: that we didn't stay a bit longer. The location is simply gorgeous, but we especially enjoyed the special feel this family owned hotel has. Compared to some of the other luxurious hotels and resorts in Vietnam, you really feel at home at the Island Lodge. This is all thanks to Francoise and Michel and their fantastic team. We also had a great dinner here at very reasonable prices. Finally, the massages we got were by far the best we had during our stay in Vietnam. We can only recommend this place if you are around Saigon. Escape the busy city life and come to relax here for a few nights. You will not regret it. As for us: we will be back!"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Neues Spitzenrestaurant in Yangoon"

Wir haben ein hervorragendes Dinner in einer wunderschönen Umgebung direkt am See genossen. Der Service war sehr freundlich und kompetent.

MesaStila: "Perfect!"

"The architecture, ambience, landscape, surrounding, view, amenities, facilities, service, all perfect! We stayed at the Ambar family Villa which has beautiful view to the mountains & lush greenery. I & hubby particularly enjoyed the in-house coffee plantation tour."
