Cuca: "Amazing dining experience!!"
"This was without doubt one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. We've tried some incredible food in our travels, however the presentation and flavor in the food at Cuca was exceptional. I'm glad we didn't do the tasting menu, as between 4 of us we managed to order almost everything on the menu (so more dishes than the tasting menu), and it was hard to fault any. The pork bun is a must. The butterfly flsh is different and soooooo good! The squid was exceptional and the squid ink risotto is an interesting take on the dish, well worth trying if you like squid!! Also the ceviche was stunning!!"Babe: "Fun dining"
Open by michelin starred chef,Jeff Ramsey-Babe is truly a fun somehow fine dining experience.Chef Jeff creativity and idea on food is truly amazing!Worth come to Babe for another type of dining experience.Slow Villas and Spa: "Le paradis sur terre"
"L'équipe de slowvillas est aux petits soins pour vous, ils s'occupent des fastboat, des sorties plongée, qui soit dit en passant méritent à elles seules le détour. Le lieu est magnifique, villas privées avec piscine personnelle, petit déjeuner copieux, les chambres sont magnifiques. Sur l'île seulement les chants des oiseaux, le bruit des petits poneys tirant les cimodo pour le transport des touristes, et la mosquée, le tout dans une ambiance de détente absolue. Encore merci à l'equipe de slow villas de nous avoir aussi bien reçues, c'était un petit paradis"Mathis Retreat: "Lovely boutique hotel – perfect hideaway"
"I stayed here for a week and I miss it everyday! For the first part of the week, it was me and a girlfriend who came to Ubud to get away from the city, do a little exploring and do some yoga. We weren't sure if we wanted to stay in Ubud the whole time or go somewhere else in Bali, but after two nights, we extended our stay. One of our favourite things was having breakfast looking at out the private rice fields every morning, it was so relaxing. The pool had the perfect view. The hotel had a really good balance between a tranquil relaxed vibe, without being sleepy, and had some really good tunes throughout the day by the pool too (I ended up asking them for their playlist).The hotel was just a 10 minute scooter ride into town, which meant everything was really accessible without it being crazy all the time. My friend ended up going home early and I stayed on for an extra 2 days. The staff took such good care of me. And as a solo female traveler, safety is extremely important. They was so lovely and even taught me some Indonesian. The GM was super lovely and very hands on, she would come by and chat with the guests, without being intrusive. It was such a wonderful trip and the hotel was a huge part of it. Seriously, great rooms, great resto (really good food!), great view and great staff. I would definitely come back!"Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Keeping it a Secret"
"Rak Ko Jae is absolutely beautiful, it breathes serenity, it's something that comes with time. It is also well situated in Bukchon Village, literally walking distance or a short subway ride to many attractions. We were there for 4 nights and were able to stay in all 3 suites. Each one of them is special in its own way. My favourite was definitely the Patio Room even though it's the smallest out of the three. Some might find the rooms a little more worn out than the photos shown but this is precisely why we found them charming. We didn't have a chance to have dinner there but the traditional breakfasts were so delicious we were set up for the day. The dry sauna was relaxing after a full day of tour. What we also enjoyed the most was the nice balance of hospitality and privacy. We are definitely coming back next year! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys traditional Korean architecture and history, Rak Ko Jae is a small oasis in the middle of bustling Seoul.

My stay at the island lodge was awesome, the service, the area and the food are great. Don't hesitate to try the fusion cuisine, and enjoy the swimming pool area with a authentic via on the river mekong and its endless boat ballet, ride motorbike or bicycle in the coconut islands ... An home grown & authentic trip in the Mekong Delta!!!Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Idyllic"
"This is our second time that my family and I have stayed at Sea Dance, Koh Samui and I can say with much sincerity that Poy and his wonderful staff have outdone themselves yet again. We stayed 3 years ago whilst still having that familiar feeling, Poy has added a lot of extra features to make our stay even more memorable. First of all, there were lots of familiar faces amongst the staff who made sure our children had enough to eat whilst our hands were always holding a delicious, refreshing cocktail. Thanks Kwan you are the best. The addition of the international menu ensured all our families taste buds were met. The buffet breakfast was awesome with so much choice with the hot food cooked in front of you. Secondly, the welcome addition of fun and friendly Faith ensured all our needs were met finding family entertainment for our children. For us, the location is idyllic being 350 meters from the main road you are ensured that your stay is a peaceful one whilst being surrounded by a secluded beach which makes it perfect for snorkeling and canoeing. The view of the ocean from the main pool is stunning with the water splashing gently against the oceans rocks make it a great back drop for spectacular sunsets. We stayed in a lovely villa with a plunge pool which was perfect for our family. The villa was spotless with housekeeping making sure it was clean every day. Thank you. A particular highlight was the band that played on Sunday afternoon whilst we ate a delicious seafood buffet. The atmosphere was amazing great tunes, and company with great cocktails. The band continued on into the night singing songs from all eras. For us, Sea Dance is a home away from home where you are treated like family and always feel so welcome. We will definitely return. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"Tugu Bali: "tranquil, beautiful hotel with impeccable service"
Absolutely loved this hotel. So well looked after by the gorgeous staff. Fabulous food with breakfast served anywhere anytime in your choice of private enclaves around the hotel. It was a peaceful & beautifully appointed hotel that has tons of Indonesian charm - stunning gardens & antiques. Husband & son were happy to go out surfing, but I didn't want to leave the tranquility of Tugu.Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Excellent!"
Atmosphere and food was absolutely worth the price tag of the cruise. Staff and everyone working was friendly and did a excellent job.Inle Princess Resort: "Peaceful easy feeling"
Lovely hotel. Very peaceful, all boat stop their engines as they approach the hotel and traditionally paddle in, keeping the resort very quiet. The staff is excellent and were able to arrange our day excursions very efficiently. Rooms were very comfortable and we were treated to complimentary mini bar beverages (sodas and beers). Would love to stay here again!
