Akame: "Must try Taiwanese aboriginal cuisine"

Review by: TaiwanWalker_Ann | Source: Trip Advisor
"Amazing dinner at Akame! A modern Taiwanese aboriginal cuisine restaurant in Pingtung, the two chefs Alex and Sky are both Rukai people, creating new styles of aboriginal grilled cuisine. Grilled quail with black garlic sauce and grilled Taiwanese pork are my most favorite. If they have mullet wine, it's perfect match with grilled meat."

Locavore: "Worth every Rupiah"

Review by: VertigoBoys | Source: Trip Advisor
On the top of our foodie list for Ubud was Locavore. Be sure to make a reservation and spend the xtra $ for the beverage package, which is carefully curated to enhance every bite of food. Not only does this team create art on a plate, but they have employed the best of Ubud..local ingredients + knowledgeable friendly staff = 1st class experience!!

The Twelve Hotel: "Perfect!"

Review by: Giu_M86 | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel is a gem and an oasis of peace amid the chaos of Bangkok! The stop in Bangkok was the first of our honeymoon: we landed early in the morning and the owner took us over suitcases x allow us to take advantage of the day. Every day we indicated activities and restaurants making the visit of the perfect city thanks to his advice! The rooms are clean, spacious and furnished with good taste! I really recommend this to everyone !!

Rachamankha: "Beautiful Rachamankha"

Review by: SujoyP | Source: Trip Advisor
"My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Rachamankha during Christmas and New Year 2013, and we were thrilled to be able to return again in November 2016. We have so many wonderful memories of the hotel from our first trip and these were definitely added to on this visit. Something about Rachamankha speaks to me - it is elegant, unpretentious, immaculate, welcoming and just so beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. The gardens and grounds are immaculately maintained, the pool area is lovely, the restaurant, bar, library and courtyards are elegant and simple, and the rooms are comfortable, spotlessly clean and have everything you need. The attention to detail is wonderful. Breakfast options include a buffet with the usual suspects of breads, pastries, fruit, yoghurt, cheese, cold meats, etc., as well as many items from the menu, cooked to order. My favourite is still the banana pancakes and hubby loves the congee. Lunch and dinner options are great too, if you feel like staying in. And there is a great drinks menu with lots of cocktails, wines and other goodies. Rachamankha isn't for everyone. If you are holidaying with small kids, or you're looking for a party, then there are plenty of other wonderful options for you in Chiang Mai. But, if you're like us, and you're looking for simple elegance with comfortable surroundings, and a quiet relaxing holiday, then Rachamankha is definitely what you're looking for. In closing, I must give thanks to the staff. They were lovely, helpful and kind. The service was efficient, prompt and polite, and the staff really do take a huge amount of pride in their work. Every single team member from the security guards at the gate, the gardeners, the restaurant staff, the front office team and housekeeping are just wonderful! Again my thanks to Wanida, who is a true gem. We can't wait to return! :)"

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Fantastic views"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Member | Source: Trip Advisor
"Have just spent 2 nights at the lodge. Exceptional stay. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I am a strange visitor to Asia who cannot eat the food! It was no problem for the kitchen to arrange something I could eat - beautifully served and with a smile. My room was very well presented with mountain views but the breakfast on the terrace, with magnificent views of sunrise over the snow capped mountain range, could not be bettered. The walk to the main rooms was a little bit of a problem but well worth the effort"

Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "Kreativ, authentische gehobene Küche"

Review by: Schmackofatz D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Sehr köstliche, kreative und authentische gehobene Küche. Die Atmosphäre ist trotzdem familiär und ungezwungen. Die verwendeten Zutaten ideal aneinander abgestimmt. Es war unheimlich köstlich. Gerne wieder!"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Oasis in the middle of busy Yangon"

Review by: martarno | Source: Trip Advisor
A stunning place in the heart of Yangon, with an impecable view towards the Inya Lake. The food is just perfection and the hosts are really nice. The only thing I could criticize would be that the table is a little bit dark.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Simply stunning"

Review by: Cmarie0001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Booked this place for 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary and am so happy i did. From the booking process and choosing the room with all details the process was super smooth. The reservations lady was very helpful and offered us a beautifully decorated room with a complimentary couples massage. The resort is the most romantic place ever, very quiet with your own plunge pool overseeing the forest which was magical. As its ""tent"" you can hear the rain and insects at night which made the experience even more amazing. The staff were very kind and keen on attending to all our needs. Would definitely recommend this place to all couples traveling to Bali."

Tandjung Sari: "Perfect for Honeymooners"

Review by: Philadelphiakohsamu | Source: tripadvisor.com
My husband an I came to the beautiful place as a gift from my father in law, as he had stayed here before. We were so pleasantly surprised, the place was fantastic. The room was clean and had relaxing day beds inside and out the front of the cottage we even had out own private hut to relax in. The room was very clean and we felt very comfortable, the shower was outdoors. The best part was the beautiful gardens that surrounded us, the restaurant is on the beach, also the day spa at the hotel is the best I have ever been to. We cant wait to return.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Most memorable experience"

Review by: sdew360 | Source: Trip Advisor
From the moment we arrived here, we knew we'd be experiencing something very special. We felt privileged to be staying in such a sensitively preserved example of 19th century local architecture and absorbed as much as we could of the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful decor. We felt warmly welcomed by staff throughout our stay and they were so helpful in communicating with us and returning items we’d left behind in our haste to catch a flight. Personal touches to our rooms were a delight and looking back at our trip to Malaysia this summer, we all agreed our stay in Georgetown – and indeed the Cheong Fatt Tze (Blue) Mansion – was the highlight to our holiday.
