Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Beautiful Mrauk Oo Princess Resort"

"The Princess Resort is a lovely place to simply unwind after sight seeing around Mrauk Oo. There is a pool, spa, walking areas and wonderful resturaunt. The property is quiet with lovely tropical flowers and the staff very attentive. It is accessible by boat, which when the tide is against you is a long ride. But, the scenery on the way is wonderful. It is about 45 miles from the main town of Sitwe, so somewhat remote. Room Tip: All the rooms are excellent"

Mathis Retreat: "Un petit coin de paradis"

This small hotel of 21-22 rooms represents everything we were looking for: quiet, successful aesthetic of the hotel and rooms, friendly staff and very caring and above all a magnificent swimming pool and views of the rice fields of your dreams! The hotel is about 2-3 km from the inner city of Ubud. As we drove our rental car, it was not a problem for us but once we went walking through rice fields and villages. Enchanting! Karine, the hotel manager is Belgian and Liege, like me 😉 She came every day during breakfast to greet and see if she could help / advise. Very nice, affable and smiling, just the right person! We highly recommend this hotel.

Jing’s Residence: "Old World Charm and Service"

Jing's Residence is a place where you can relax and recharge while travelling through China. You are staying in the centre of Pinyao and it is a busy place but once you are through the discreet entrance everything is all calm.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Best Thai food in Thailand!"

I realize my title is a bold claim. This is the food capital of the world, after all. (OK maybe NYC). But the passion for quality here is simply remarkable. The cabbage with fish sauce dish, for example, is so simple and yet mind-blowingly delicious. I believe this chef has another restaurant in BKK and one in NYC - both of which also get unbelievable reviews.

Yandabo Home: "wonderful facility"

Located along the river we were lucky only d.etre overnight. Serenities a bubble in the middle of nowhere. The bungalow is new, spacious beautifully decorated with a large bathroom. The staff is on hand to make this place unique. The restaurant is very good with traditional cuisine. Breakfast is served at the table and croissants come from afar to satisfy customers. Do not miss .

Les Maisons d’Itac: "A small but fantastic resort"

We spent a long weekend in the bamboo house at this small but beautiful resort. Great experience. You are sleeping 3 meters from the beach! You hear the waves and all kinds of sounds in the night, very relaxing. The atmosphere at the place is great. It is sort of at the end of the road, so there is no restaurants or things to do within walking distance. But the staff and the manager Bryan are very serviceminded and will help you with anything you want to do or go to. We recommend you to eat all meals at the resort and then there's no need to go anywhere else. Just stay at the resort and enjoy it. We would love to come back some day!

Flower Island: "Relaxing in paradise!"

"Staying here was like being in paradise- your own tropical heaven away from everything. There's some incredible coral reef around which makes for some excellent snorkelling: we saw turtles on a number of occasions as well as a plethora of tropical fish. They also have some giant clams in the coral right in front of the beach. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and on one day took us to a pearl farm. I highly recommend a visit to the pearl farm - it's so fascinating to see this industry at work (not to mention more amazing snorkelling opportunities along the way!) (...) You can also hike up to the light house (around 10-15 mins) to get some lovely 360 degrees views. And there is a stone path going around the island for running: a complete cycle is around 1.7km, so 3 rounds, we did 5.5km ish. Oh - and did I mention those stunning sunsets...?"

Locavore: "The food were bold, well executed, well thought of,"

"Initially I was just curious about this restaurant in Ubud that people and media were talking about, and decided to give it a try. I went there for lunch and tried their 7 dishes (which turned out to be almost 14 dishes in total!). The food were bold, well executed, well thought of, and full of passion and love. It is as if they are not being humble at all, they are making a statement, what coming out from the kitchen is not just usual dishes we eat every day, it is extraordinary. I saw all chefs are busy in the kitchen, and they are quite mobile as they make time to go to our table and explain about each and every dish. I believe this is something we don’t see often in similar restaurant in Bali, maybe in Singapore or Hong Kong, but Bali? I dont think so. Service team looks impeccable, they dress up casual yet very neat and they are very professional too. When it comes to the price, a restaurant this caliber could have charged arms and legs, but this one surprisingly worth the whole experience (it was 850k++/pax ) Having had a great, memorable and satisfying lunch in Locavore, Ubud, it has set for me a high standard of a posh lunch should be, and by far the best lunch I ever had in such a long time. So, if you plan to try them, make a booking at least 3 weeks in advance, if you are lucky."

Manda De Laos: "Romantic dinner simply divine"

"In the hotel complex Maison Dalabua, the restaurant Manda de Laos is an amazing oasis in the middle of the city. Beautiful garden with UNESCO-classified lily ponds is very nice grouped around a lotus pond (very well kept, in the evening beautiful lit). The cook understands his craft and the service, above the restaurant manager Ambroise S, pay attention to trifles. Special requests are gladly and quickly carried out. As a tourist, you are pleased (rightly!) about a romantic dinner at the lily pond of this very well maintained hotel area. Excellent Lao cuisine, the menus offer a good selection of typical dishes. Everything fresh and excellent quality. The prices are upscale, but appropriate. Staff very friendly, courteous and professional. It is certainly one of the best restaurants in Luang Prabang. Pleasant wine selection. We were very thrilled!"

Reverie Siam: "Favorite place we stayed on our honeymoon"

"This resort is truly phenomenal! This place embodies elegance, comfort and class. Not only are the grounds gorgeous, but the service is fantastic as well. We checked in and were greeted with drinks and a tour of our room and the facilities. The hotel had a very quick transport service to drive us into the city whenever we needed. The beds were really comfortable and our room had wonderful locally made toiletries that smelled like freshly peeled ripe oranges. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. We ate at the Silhouette Bar & Restaurant every morning for breakfast and once for dinner. The presentation was beautiful and the food was fresh and tasty. When I think back to my honeymoon, I will always think about this beautiful retreat in Pai!"
