Reverie Siam: "Awesomely delightful"

it would be very hard to fault this "dream come true", the inspired design is beautifully finished and full of wonderfully enchanting details, from the magical library of olde-world books in the restaurant/lounge to the Smith Corona typewriter in our room obviously a lot of love has been lavished on this Reverie. We are staying here as i write and will extend our visit to soak up the refreshingly relaxing ambiance. Town is just a few minutes away and a free shuttle is provided until late but it is hard to leave when the kitchen keeps dishing up such quality serves by a complement of staff who will cater your every whim and engage you with sweet pleasure. Absolutely Awesome !!

Reverie Siam: "Chilled out elegance and locally sourced food"

I loved our stay here - the pool, the rooms (upgraded not once, but twice!), the wonderful staff and service - this is a romantic and nostalgic resort nestling in the mountains in the town of Pai. Pai itself has changed a lot and become more touristy over the years, but staying here gives you a feeling of being cocooned in time and luxury. The rooms are beautiful with an old colonial feel, and the saltwater infinity pool looks out to the mountains. Often we were the only people in it. The staff were unfailingly helpful, nothing was to much trouble. The food is amazing!!!! The chef really knows his stuff, and sources local produce. We were supposed to stay two nights at the start of a two week stay in the area, but once we found this place my partner wouldn't let us leave :-) I'd definitely go back to this dreamy place whenever I could..... (travelled May 2015 but option to date didn't go back that far)

The Cabochon Hotel: "Wonderful hideout in central Bangkok"

"I had a wonderful time here during my very first visit to Bangkok. My arrival at the hotel was very early in the morning around 5am, and obviously the room was not ready for check-in until 2pm, but I was kindly offered a room in the ground floor lounge with tea and fruits to relax before the city wakes up - it was very helpful for me to have some space to unwind after my flight from Japan. The Queen Studio with a double bed, shower and balcony was spacious enough for myself and the room was tidy and clean. The interior of the room and the hotel was in colonial style with a hint of chinoiserie with warm atmosphere. The rooftop pool is not very big, but it gives you a luxuary to look over the skyline of Sukhumvit and chill. As for the restaurant, I did not have a chance to try it this time, unfortunately. The hotel is conveniently located at the end of a short soi 45 of Sukhumbit between Phrom Phong and Thong Lo (slightly closer to the former), roughly 5 minutes walk from the BTS stations."

Labyrinth: "Tasting Menu not to be missed"

We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Definitely worth the visit. Service was great and each course was well explained. Restaurant was a little difficult to find in the shopping centre with limited signage but a delightful evening - would recommend.

Maison Polanka: "Intimate boutique hotel"

"This hotel is small only 6 guest rooms I believe. We booked the Khmer House which was huge. We felt like we had our own house which we did. Ground floor is an outside seating area with massage tables. Room had so much character with unique pieces of furniture and even an old gramophone. Service was attentive and they were very helpful in booking our tours. Great pool to cool off after a sweaty day of sightseeing. This hotel is about 10mins from Pub street and the markets. Not much else nearby but that makes it all the more a beautiful sanctuary. "

The Governor’s House: "Perfect Bolthole"

"Beautiful colonial boutique hotel. Smiling charming staff, eager to please. Lovely small intimate dining room with excellent food. Would definitely recommend having dinner here. Our trip was for our 40th wedding anniversary, and 'Happy 40th wedding anniversary' was spelt out in flower petals across our bed...a great touch! Bedroom was charming, and bathroom was clean, stylish and well presented. It's easy to hire a ride into city centre and water front to see the sights. A perfect hideaway hotel, good value and highly recommended."

Locavore: "Gastronomic aerobatics and spot international level"

We saw that the schedule of booking tables in Manhattan traditions is full for a couple of weeks ahead. So we tried with a pounce, straight from a tropical rainfall to get to lunch. Day to day it did not work, but we found out about their sister cafe around the corner in the next street and signed up for tomorrow. For lunch too ceremoniously and formally (dishes, not the atmosphere - that's quite a casual one, we met Americans, saddened by Trump at a nearby table), but for a memorable evening, that's it. It offers two sets - large and small. For 5 and 7 meals. And there are options for veggie. The surprise was that to five dishes there are five apetizers and about the same number of digestives. Extremely authored and fantasy, small and incredibly tasty. Yes, another point is that it is necessary to arrive at the appointed time, as all tables are served by simultaneous courses. And the whole ceremony thus stretches for 2-2.5 hours) At this time, you seem to disappear from the noisy colorful streets of Ubud in the mirror world of real flowers and shades of pistachio. Smiles and conditioner. Wow

Villa Song: "What a Haven – Just Gets Better and Better"

We returned to this hotel after almost three years and we were happy to find things just as we left them! The hotel continues to be a haven in a very busy city and District 2 is the perfect base. Highlights were the peaceful and delicious breakfasts on the river bank ( special shout out to Duy!) , the stunning swimming pool and stylish rooms in that beautiful colonial style building. Yega, Ms Truc and the rest of front desk team do a brilliant job. So helpful with restaurant bookings, directions, late checkouts etc.The regular speed boat into the middle of the city is very handy. Unfortunately the boat driver at the beginning of our stay (over TET holiday) was not the friendliest especially with our 8 year old who became quite frightened of him. On the last day of our stay there was a lovely smiley new driver who made all the difference. Thanks again to the whole team again !

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Dreamy"

"High in the clouds perched on a little mountain near Darjeeling sits the most incredible retreat in all of India. I looked forward to my stay for months, but nothing could have prepared me for just how WONDERFUL this place is. It's probably the closest thing I can imagine to being royalty- such a beautiful example of old colonial splendour, and you are treated like a VIP. I enjoyed the communal dining, where I met lovely people from around the world, and it's pretty special to be able to just go for a guided hike anytime you like- there is always a guide on hand. Though it was mostly cloudy when I stayed, in the mornings the clouds parted and I was lucky enough to get an incredible glimpse of Kachechunga (wow!!) Rates seem expensive, but include so much (transfers, laundry, all food, all hikes, all activities!) that I can't really complain about the price. Everything was of perfect quality. On a side note, I stayed as a solo female, and I felt very comfortable, and my privacy was completely respected. Room Tip: They all have their own charm. Can't go wrong."
