Misool Eco Resort: "Best Diving Ever….. Misool exceeded my high expectations"

"I visited Misool in February 2016 for an 11 night stay. Usually after a long stay on a small island I am ready to leave, but with Misool I would have happily stayed another 2 weeks. everything about the resort was perfect. I would call it rustic luxury. We stayed with friends in the only 2 bedroom water villa. The very extensive outside decking over the water offered a lot of space and I think we enjoyed it more than having 2 separate villas side by side. The position meant that we got lots of shade all day, if you want to sunbathe on the villa decking you would be better in one near the dive centre. The diving was simply exquisite and very well managed. Lot of sharks and Mantas.. and smaller critters too. Our dive guide Marfel was superb. When i go back I will definitely ask to dive with him again. Because of the remoteness of the island you have to expect that the food and drink choices may be limited if you are expecting a long a la carte menu (although the quality was always excellent) and the electricity supply was a little erratic and blew a couple of our Mac and iPad chargers. which was frustrating and expensive. We paid for a meet and greet service at Jakarta airport which tuned up almost 45 minted late, left us waiting outside in the rain and humidity, and then spent 5 minutes with us doing very little, so overall a waste of money. These small niggles in no way detracted from what was a truly outstanding experience and I cannot wait to go back."

Locavore: "Amazing lunch"

we really enjoyed the lunch. So amazing. And the service also great too. Wanna go again for dinner. It's so hard to book the time.

Nimmu House: "Un endroit enchanteur"

Un hotel de reve dans un jardin enchanteur : une vieille maison traditionnelle ladakhie restaurée avec beaucoup de gout, des tentes luxueuses dans le jardin, un service très sympathique et attentif. Un vrai hotel de charme !

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Wonderful experience"

Stayed here for two nights at the end of a hectic 3 week tour. The charm of the old buildings is apparent as soon as you arrive. Courteous staff ensure you settle into your accommodation [ in our case a bungalow in the grounds ]. The food is excellent and we managed to go on two accompanied walks which were great. The walk to the river was down hill all the way. On arrival, out of nowhere it seemed, a barbeque lunch with cold beer appeared ! Thankfully a 4x4 took us back up the hill to Glenburn.

Maison Polanka: "Almost perfect."

"The hotel has only a small number of rooms which are situated in superb tropical gardens. We had the first floor yellow room which was comfortable, spacious and with an excellent bathroom. The hotel was uncrowded and relaxing and with a superb swimming pool. Guests were a mix of French and British. The charming staff were very generous to us. There was cake or pancakes and Twinings tea in the afternoon. Breakfasts were a delight sitting outside. Brilliant gin and tonics in the evening. The only downsides were noise from building works at neighbouring properties but the workers looked industrious and pretty advanced so they may have finished by now. It was not a problem. We also had a disturbed night when the local market burnt down but that was hardly the fault of the hotel and very sad. We found the food, at times, disappointing. It could be excellent, but one evening my wife had a dish of fish and raw vegetables which was inedible and my accompanying beef stir fry was as tame as it was tough. Perhaps we were just unlucky. The hotel went out of their way to provide a picnic for us to take to Ankhor Wat and were very good at putting an ice box in my room to store stuff. Would recommend with little hesitation. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Satri House: "Absolutely wonderful"

"Have been to LP many times, this is a top pick if you can afford it. The place is absolutely gorgeous with great decoration, super comfortable rooms and bed, beautiful gardens and pool, very helpful staff. The spa is also great as is the breakfast and homemade jams! Well located too. It’s a treat!"

Rachamankha: "Quaint hotel"

Beautiful hotel and room. Loved the design and the property overall. A magical place for sure. Please make the effort to book it if in Chiang Mai. Stayed only one night in a Grand Deluxe room but would have liked to stay for more.

Locavore: "Incredible food experience!"

We went to this restaurant for our wedding anniversary, and it was an incredibly good experience. Everything was perfect, starting with the really nice staff, the place itself and obviously the food. Talking about the latter, we saw people complaining about it, this place is intended to be a really slow food experience, with 7 or 5 main dishes and roughly 10 complementary other small snacks, all together it takes over 3 hours, not for everyone. But the composition of the dishes is simply awesome, recommended for the lover of the good food!

Maison Polanka: "Indeed an Oasis"

Fantastic service, great food, amazing people. No words can describe what this place had given us. It made us feel like home. The garden is so lovely and the great cuisine made us impressed. We sure do recommend this place.

David’s Kitchen: "A true definition of Dinner Experience"

I had never felt so incredibly welcome at any other restaurant in the world! ​ Since the first second I got there, everything was absolutely fantastic! David himself and all the staff put on an enormous effort to make sure everyone in the restaurant is having the best experience a dinner could possibly be. Of course, the food is splendid! I can say without any doubt that I had the best dinner experience of my life! Hats off to these guys!
