Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Bliss"

Nothing like a few days here at the end of a journey through Karnataka. Great setting, attractive cottages, good service and excellent food. Breakfast ,lunch and dinner overlooking the sea what more can you want?

Tugu Bali: "Absolutely wonderful"

"An unforgettable stay. The staff is warm, friendly, beyond accommodating and truly gracious. The property is gorgeous — beginning with the stunning lobby that will make your jaw drop the moment you enter. Historic Balinese details are strewn throughout the decor, and the room we stayed in had the feel of a colonial-era suite. Comfortable and modern amenities (the bed is top notch!). The food was fantastic — our breakfasts, in particular, were always the perfect way to start the day. The area itself is a surfer community, so it's a little livelier (and younger) than other parts of Bali that we visited. The beach is nice, though not exactly low-key and relaxing (if you're a surfer, it'll be right up your alley). Some very nice restaurants, bars and boutiques within walking distance. Overall, we loved our time here. We can't say enough about the service and the friendliness of the staff/management. They took care of us in every way and we will most certainly be back the next time we're in Bali."

David’s Kitchen: "Fantastic meal and service"

"Myself and two friends visited David's kitchen on a Saturday night, we did not have a reservation but David was very happy to accommodate us. He took the time to ask us about our trip and what our plans were, while also giving us advice on other attractions and bars in the area. The food and service was amazing, the best we've eaten on our trip. The staff regulately enquired as to whether we needed anything. The chocolate souffle an tiramisu were the best we've ever had. The staff were all kind and attentive, really setting the experience apart. The personal touches and attentions really made a difference and added to a wonderful evening."

Tugu Bali: "One of a kind hotel with exceptional service in a great location"

The beauty of this hotel is second to none in all of Bali. The owner of the hotel is the largest art collector in all of Indonesia and the hotel is literally a museum of his prized collections. You will not find a more authentic Balinese experience. There is an old temple that was reconstructed into a restaurant. The setting is beautiful, the atmosphere is serene and peaceful. Our room was one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in and included our own private pool and a bathroom with a koi pond. The staff is exceptional and in typical Bali form they all knew our names, made us feel special, and treated us like we were family. I would recommend this hotel to anyone from honeymooners to experienced travelers to backpackers. We couldnt say enough good things about our time at TUGU and will absolutely be back to visit again. Maybe next time to one of their other 3 hotels which I hear are just as nice.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Wild at Heart"

"As we pulled up to the meeting point , we were met with a striking man in safari attire, Danu. Danu (our host) is a much younger Sri Lankan version of Sir David Attenborough-with a dash of Indiana Jones. His knowledge for wildlife is amazing and he has an eagle eye for spotting animals as did our amazing driver who is so knowledgable and we loved hearing about his tiger encounters in India. Both these guys are passionate conservationists but make it really interesting and are very sensitive to the needs of wildlife and safari newbies. My husband and I became so comfortable around then we found ourselves asking ridiculous questions like ""Does that elephant get lonely?"" Danu is a true professional for keeping a straight face when he answered ""Um, I haven't gotten around to asking him""... We are still laughing about but seriously these guys are like your personal wildlife Wikipedia. We booked the normal tents and were absolutely blown away by the luxury. We have been staying in 5 Star hotels throughout Sri Lanka but this was the cleanest room/tent we have ever seen with the crispest sheets and plugs for my phone. I will miss my outdoor shower, there is no better feeling than having an outdoor shower after a big day in the park. I have to talk about the food. It was next level! This was by far the best food I have had in Sri Lanka and what made it SO special was Danu showing us how to eat it like a local. I loved learning about the cuisine and Sri Lankan culture under the stars. The guys who were serving us in the bar and restaurant- a lantern lit space under the stars treated me like a jungle queen! I miss them already and plan to kidnap them the next time I come back. So I would highly recommend these guys to anyone who has a deep respect for wildlife, a love for a bit of luxury in the jungle and those who are wild at heart. Yala is calling for you.

Reverie Siam Pai: "A Truly Relaxing Paradise in Pai"

Our stay at Revere Siam was exactly what we needed. It was the perfect getaway, surrounded by nature with a mountain backdrop in a peaceful area of Pai! We went with the elegantly designed villa that had a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, and a big private garden. From the second we entered our villa we could clearly see they put some love and serious thought into designing this stunning hotel. To be honest the entire property was just breathtaking! The staff are friendly and the environment is peaceful! We spent most of our time in Pai at Revere Siam relaxing by the pool, enjoying the Jacuzzi and eating delicious meals (Lamb & Salmon dishes are top notch delicious, so is the breakfast) at their Mediterranean restaurant instead of exploring Pai. This resort is truly a paradise. We will definitely come back here again, no doubt about it!

Heritage Suites Hotel: "Beautiful and serene."

We were recommended to this Hotel by a friend who has lived in Cambodia for may years and has come to know and appreciate the subtlety that Khmer heritage holds ... this property embodies the essence of that subtlety. Form our transfer pickup in veteran Mercedes saloons to the welcome and registration process, everything was luxurious and effortless; the Suite we stayed in was absolutely glorious, sort of neo-Khmer classical without being ostentatious, and extremely well-appointed. The staff were attentive to all our needs and went out of their way to make our stay both relaxing and interesting; the poolside bar staff were always ready with an ever-available cold drink and recommendations as to which of the delicacies were best with which accompaniments. Similarly, the Restaurant staff were knowledgeable about the history of the dishes and were happy to recommend daily specials. The on-site Boutique and Travel Consultants also were a pleasure to deal with.

Sukoon Houseboa: "Dont Miss it"

"We had heard lots of bad things about stay in HouseBoats and had finally decided to skip this experience. But thanks to our travel agent who forced us book this place. I just have one Word for the houseboat ""AWESOME""!!! The houseboat is extra clean with no foul odor. The service is top notch! The food was excellent (bit slow in serving) They have well trained staff and could feel the difference with the way they treated people. The Deck was nice and had a very good view. We regret staying for only 1 day, and would surely return for a longer stay. Thanks to the staff of Sukoon for making this a pleasurable experience, was truly the best part of our Kashmir trip."

Satri House: "Amazing"

Couldn’t have loved my stay at Satri House any more than I did!! The grounds and rooms were stunning. The staff members were some of the best I’ve ever encountered. The scent of lemongrass will forever remind me of this special place. We stayed 5 nights and wish we could have stayed longer.

Sea Dance Resort: "Awesome holiday!"

"We we're a family of five staying in a two bedroom pool villa for 10 days in August. We had an awesome time at Seadance Resort. It is a secluded and tranquil place. We rented scooters for the time we were there thus could explore most of the island's beaches, waterfalls, restaurants etc with ease. That gave us the best of both worlds - busy days and coming to the serenity of Seadance in the evenings. Some days we just spent at the pool drinking awesome cocktails (passionfruit mojito was my favorite) and relaxing. Free piña colada ice lollies was a bonus. Friendly and helpful staff made our stay even more pleasant. Thank you especially to Faith, Helen and Poy for adding that more personal touch to your already awesome service as well. We will definitely return to Seadance resort in the future."
