Amata Lanna: "A treat"

Small resort with few and luxurious rooms that all face the pool-manicured garden area. remarkably beautiful structure and attention to detail. Folks and always ready to give you the best advice on what to visit the beautiful Chiang Mai, attention should be friendly to Pong, owner of the hotel who greeted us in the best way in its structure. Council also highly recommend a massage at "The Home", a massage center agreement with the hotel which is a few kilometers away, went every day for three consecutive days. Ours was a perfect stay, very good.

Tugu Bali: "A true gem"

We stayed at this beautiful and unique hotel two nights and enjoyed every moment. There is much to see with it's great collection of art and well curated furniture. General feeling is very welcoming, easy going and effortless luxury. The room was really our kind of taste: eclectic furniture, natural and nice ocean view. Def coming back with better time!

David’s Kitchen: "The best restaurnt we’ve ever visited"

"My husband and I love trying out the local fancy restaurants when on holiday, but fear we might have peaked at David's Kitchen! We still have 2 weeks of our Thailand adventure but doubt anything could better our amazing night this evening. The transport is lovely, private AC transport in a nice car. Extremely warm welcome from the very lovely staff. Lots of personal touches on the table, e.g. our names, an anniversary card - there is so much thought and detail given to each table! The lovely owner, David, is walking around all night chatting to the guests. He does this all 6 nights the restaurant is open, so must love his job!! He has really interesting stories to tell so definitely engage him in conversation :) The menu is amazing, we spent a good 20 minutes deciding what to eat as it all sounded so good! The cocktail menu is extensive and includes a fab mixture of classics and signatures, and are extremely well priced. The food was amazing too and very fast service, but we never felt rushed. Even though we were both so full we had to squeeze in dessert as we were enjoying the food so much! We asked David about his chef and were kindly invited into the kitchen to meet him! We've now got a great picture with David and all the team we'll never forget :) And the icing on the cake was being presented with a beautiful bunch of roses to celebrate our anniversary :) the evening, food and service was absolutely fantastic and perfect. It was one of the best nights of our lives and will certainly not be forgotten! Thank you to David, your lovely wife and chef, and all of the team for a perfect evening."

Mie Cafe: "Really really good"

Went on the recommendation of a local and were blown away by the quality of the cooking here. We weren't surprised to hear that the patron/chef had trained in a Michelin 2 Star in Switzerland. The food shames many one star restaurants I've eaten in elsewhere. We both started with scallop tartare with seaweed and heart of coconut. I followed with Fish Amok and S with a risotto. All just superb. We are going back tonight. Do not miss if you are in town.

Villa Song Saigon: "Calm oasis"

"This hotel is a calm oasis away from the bustle of the busy city with its thousands of motor cyclists. Friendly helpful staff, a stunning building and a refreshing clean swimming pool, with delicious food (local and international) served in the garden by the river. We liked the tablet computer photos (brought to the table) of the food so we could see before we ordered - a nice touch. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

The Island Lodge: "Feeling at home in Mekong Delta …"

"Amazing place for staying 2 or 3 nights at the end of your trip in Viet Nam. After visiting Viet Nam from Hanoi in the north to Saigon in the South, no better place to relax and discover Mekong Delta. You are here in the middle of nowhere at just 1h30 mn from the crowded Saigon. Nice bicycle tour in the coconuts plantation, great cruise in the hidden river. The place is peacefull and romantic. The owners Michel and Francoise will welcome you ""at home"". Personnalized check-in with fresh fruit juice cocktail served with home made canapes, ""A la carte"" breafast for starting your relaxing days here. The lodge has only 12 rooms including bungalows in the garden and river view rooms on the main building for hugge panorama. The owners are beside you to share their passion for this region to make you feel home before flying back to your country... For us living in Saigon, no better place so near for relaxing on weekends..."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Fantastic"

"Wow, what a lovely place, we arrived early and were met by their very friendly staff who checked us in and let us use the spa to freshen up in as our villa wasn't free yet. It has a boho chic vibe about it and our villa was lovely, very clean, cool bathrooms, comfy bed, our own coconut grove (loved that) and a nice sitting area and perfect sized pool for a refreshing dip! For us it was in the perfect location, we're not really the backpacking sort so it was far enough away from the main harbour bit to be away from it all yet close enough to walk if we wanted to go to one of the beach clubs. Our favourite beach was on our side of the island just 5 min walk from slow down a path which had a couple of great restaurants on and was un spoilt and beautiful! Slow arranged for us to have a private snorkelling guide take us round all three islands, this was one of the best days Iv had in my life! Slow staff bent over backwards to make our trip great and we shall definitely be returning again!!! Oh and the breakfasts are so delicious, definitely the best breakfasts Iv had in Indonesia and in most places Iv stayed around the world!"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Great trip – high school principal and a few students"

"I am the principal of an international school in Phnom Penh. Our school collaborated with 4Rivers to raise funds for a school they are sponsoring near 4Rivers, so we were invited out to see it. First of all, the area is great, and lovely fresh air. All of the staff at 4Rivers were very attentive with no communication difficulties. The rooms were positively luxurious, especially considering we were just floating on a river. Beds were very comfortable, everything was prompt, food was delicious. I had a great time relaxing and would recommend it to anyone. Only downside is the sketchy internet, but they make that abundantly clear on the website, so bring a book! It's not really within the hotel's control, anyway, as it has to do with coverage in the area."

The Island Lodge: "Magic on the Mekong"

What a surprise, much better than it shows on its website and booking search engines. A touch of casual elegance right on the river. French influences everywhere as you'd expect with French owners, very classy open air restaurant and lounge area facing the pool and river on one side and the garden and villas on the other. Rooms above are bright, airy and extremely pleasant. The food is great, although mostly western style. There's lots to do - cycling and boat trips, visits to local markets etc. Only two hours drive from HCMC (the hotel will arrange a car) it's a great escape from the city - a must visit for people seeking respite from the big smoke.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "“Leopard Safar”"

"While this is an experience that cannot be put into words, I can only recommend this experience as a must see from the bottom of my heart for anyone who is lucky enough to be touring Sri Lanka. While it cannot be guaranteed at any time you will be lucky enough to see leopard as they are wild creatures in the wild... the passion that all the rangers have for their job is above and beyond. The accommodation will surely make you feel at home as will the outdoor showers that have to be seen to be believed. At the end of a long hot safari the jungle bar is waiting with any refreshment you may require... as are the nice cold towels that are from heaven The meals are to die for... with every whim required to... and if you leave the table hungry you have no one to blame but yourself Any doubts you may have through the night are quelled with a mobile phone within reach of your bed for instant access for assistance at any hour...peace of mind that will leave you sleeping like a baby Many many congrats to Noel Rodrigos Leopard Safaris and all the special memories that will stay with you for many years to come Simply a must for anyone who wants to experience the best that Sri Lanka can offer Tracey Evans"
