Satri House: "A Royal Stay"

"Everything about this place was enjoyable. The former royal residence was elegant, charming and personable. You feel like staying at someone's home or should I say palace. When you arrive its like entering into a different era. The decor, rooms and grounds are all beautiful. Lots of nooks to find and settle in. The staff was very friendly and accommodating - even helped us with learning a view Laotian phrases. Hang out at the poolside bar before heading out. Very impressed with the hotel restaurant. Great breakfast with fresh bread etc. With so many restaurant choices in LP, we actually chose to eat our last dinner at the hotel and its was best decision. There is also a very good place right across the side street called Manda de Laos - expensive for LP but very reasonable and good. The one thing that concerned us when we book was the distance to the main area in LP. In reality, being a little secluded was preferable as the hotel was quiet and tranquil. We typically walked into town which takes 5-7 minutes. And if you don't want to walk its quite easy to get a cheap tuk tuk or take one of the hotel's bikes. We considered 3 Nagas but we made right choice. For recommendations in LP, check out Naga Creations. Its owned by a french expat that creates local artisan jewelry. I normally don't shop on vacation but this was an exception. We look forward to returning. To Giovanni and his staff - Kop chai lai lai!"

SUMMERTIME VILLA: "Blissfully chilled"

We absolutely loved Summertime and cannot wait to go back. The owners have spent a lifetime delivering amazing holiday experiences in India and it feels like they poured all their learning and experience into creating and running this idyllic house.

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 !!

Tugu Bali: "Gorgeous, authentic property"

My boyfriend and I stayed at Tugu for two nights and loved the place. Excellent design and decor - very much authentic, stylish Balinese - with delicious Indonesian food, gorgeous cocktails and first class service. Some great views for the upstairs rooms, but go for the private pool villas downstairs or a room nearer the back of the hotel if you want total peace and quiet. All of the staff were absolutely lovely - so helpful and warm - and we loved the cooking course! Great pool too and lovely spa.

Reverie Siam: "Stylish and peaceful resort"

"Thoughtfully landscaped and stylishly decorated this is a lovely place to stay. Not too far out of Pai town (they can provide transport), but far enough that you are not run down by some crazy backpacker learning to drive a motorbike. The restaurant food is delicious, especially the a la carte breakfast. (no fighting for the buffet). Khun Dee (the maître d) and staff are most welcoming. They have live music in the restaurant and at the bar beside the river. Altogether a relaxing treat."

Slow Villas and Spa: "A luxurious modern oasis in Gilli Air. An amazing place to slow down and relax"

"I should mention that prior to our arrival to Gilli Air, I was in constant communication with the Villas, trying to arrange for transportation from Amed to the island. Bali and the surrounding area was experience heavy tropical rain storms and no boats were travelling between Bali and Lombok. Juli and her team were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns, and were extremely helpful in assisting us. The provided many options and recommendations. I knew from the start we were going to be in good hands and have an excellent experience with Slow Gilli Air (aka Slow Villas). We travelled from Amed to Gilli Air via the Freebird Express speedboat. It dropped us off on the shores of Gilli Air, and then took a cidone (horse and carriage) to Slow Gilli Air. Upon our arrival, we were given a warm welcome by Juli and her staff. The entire team was extremely professional, accommodating, attentive and friendly. Slow Villas took was breathtaking from the beginning. We were shown to our private villa and it was magical. Everything has been thought out and attention has been paid to the smallest of details. To start, the map of the island, full of personalized handwritten recommendations was truly a nice touch. The villa comes equipped with a kitchenette, an outdoor bathroom, A/C, a memory stick loaded with a selection of movies, a private pool and outdoor sitting area. They even provide you with stylish straw sun hats to protect you from the sun and flashlights for walking around at night. In addition, they provide a complimentary 30 minute spa treatment at the property's spa. The spa treatment was so great that we booked second visit. The complimentary breakfast was incredible. Breakfast is delivered to the villa every morning and features fresh produce and a wide range of healthy menu options, we were overwhelmed (in a good way) by the spread. Featuring a modern bohemian rustic vibe, it's really charming and really encourages you to wind down (hence the name and philosophy of the place) and relax. The location is just off the beaten track. A secluded beach is a short walk away. There are bikes available to rent, which we took full advantage of. It's a relatively small island, but walking it sometimes proved to be just a tad too far. Biking is definitely the way to go. Honestly, we enjoyed our time at the villa so much, we tried to spend as much time there as possible. It was everything we wanted and more. We would definitely stay here again. This is truly a Gilli Air gem. Room Tip: This is a small property with only 10 private villas."

Rachamankha: "Charming hotel"

Rachamankha is a charming hotel with a friendly knowledgable staff and excellent service. The ensuite rooms are well appointed with lovely antiques, are air conditioned and the bathrooms have plenty of hot water. There is also an excellent restaurant that serves Thai and western fare. The hotel has a great pool which is wonderful after a hot day of sightseeing. The hotel is also an easy walk to the Sunday night market. If you are coming to Chiangmai I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

TIGER MOUNTAIN POKHARA LODGE: "A top notch mountain lodge"

"Beautifully located on a ridge overlooking the valley in front and the mountains above, Tiger Mountain is a perfect retreat for a few days rest. Independent cottages with beautiful sit outs amidst the forest, bird calls and mountain views makes this property special. The eco friendly resort with its own organic vegetable garden and freshly made jams and breads is an experience to be treasured. "

Maduzi Hotel: "Wow wow wow"

This is my 1st reaction after entered their deluxe room. The room is very big with extremely huge bed (240cm) length, walk in wardrobe, Jacuzzi that can fit in 3 ppl (my 4 yo kid, wife and me). Conveniently located. Breakfast is unique. Must stay!

Maduzi Hotel: "They go the extra mile"

"We LOVED our stay here! They truly go the extra mile and we were so impressed! Every little detail of your stay has been clearly thought through and they've considered how to make it better, e.g. you can check in and out at any time!! and you can have your welcome drink at any time! Additionally the Maduzi is in the perfect location, close to the BTS, in the safe Sukhumvit area. This place has everything you need from a hotel, and so much more!"
