Rachamankha: "Inner city oasis"
"Rachamankha is more than a boutique hotel – it is an architectural master piece and a very comfortable oasis right in the middle of Chiang Mai`s hustle and bustle. The rooms are nicely decorated in a very tasteful mix of antiques from different parts and time periods of the world. Everything has been done in a very comfortable way. Attention to detail is visible all around the grounds. During our 7 night´s stay at the Rachamankha we enjoyed the view to the pool from our room and considering that it is located in the middle of the city it is very quiet during the night. The breakfast at the elegant restaurant consisted of a delicious variety of cooked dishes from the menu and a small buffet. The dinner menu offered a wide range of international and Thai dishes which tasted well but not outstanding. To avoid misunderstandings it would be perfect if the waiters would speak a little bit more English."Mudanwan Villa: "Very comfortable stay memorable trip"
A parked five food meal of the trip make you feel sloppy, but will not eat too much discomfort, slowly on a road course, every kind of side dishes also carefully executed, like the fruit of it all day, can be a freshly-cut fruit anytime, anywhere. The park has its own lake, with its own spa, with its own swimming pool, free Shihai can go to a nearby borrow a bicycle around the wound. In fact, the whole trip is to stay comfortable with two words to describe, would not say what really incredible place but just a good space, just good service, just a good atmosphere, just good food, it all just right on he created a specialSatri House: "Un endroit enchanteur"
"5 nuits dans ce super établissement où tout est sérénité et calme . Un excellent restaurant avec de la cuisine raffiné . Un jardin merveilleux un seul regret les piscines ne sont pas nettoyées régulièrement des feuilles qui tombent et c’est dommage Mais a recommander sans hésitation"Maison Polanka: "Awesome stay"
Staff there made our day when we stayed with them. Maison Polanka is a lovely wonderful hotel which we used to encounter in Asia and Europe. Breakfast is great, swimming pool is so charming and inviting us to relax there most of the day.Samanea Beach Resort: "Charmingly cosy resort in a great location"
"Thank you to Jonathan and the staff at Samanea for such warm and welcoming service. Samanea is a small well kept resort with a good sized pool and excellent restaurant on the coast in Kep. The resort had a nice calmness about it, so it is a great place if you want to relax. The rooms are comfortable and a good size. It is not top end luxury but superb value and clean and well maintained. I recommend the restaurant and lazing on the loungers by the sea, letting time drift by. We did the TYKA Boat Cruise and it was a really great day out; I really recommend it. A short walk into Kep or a 3$ tuk-tuk. I would go to the Pepper Plantation and Kampot which are both a tuk-tuk's ride away. We will be back next year as we had a lovely time."Tugu Lombok: "Happy Place"
Spent 4 days at Hotel Tugu at the end of a brief trip around Indonesia with the family. This is an excellent hotel on the beach. It has some amazing buildings and antiques which make it unique but the best bit is the happy and attentive staff. The kids even got taught how to make animals from the bath towels by the housekeeper. Also ideal for golf at nearby course and, of course, beach activities like snorkelling.NEELESHWAR: "Superb"
"What a wonderful place. We are not easily impressed as we have been working in the travel industry for years so have stayed in some of the top hotels of the world but Neeleshwar is exceptional. We stayed 6 nights and left regrettably so happy and relaxed. Everything was perfection!! "Cuca: "Wonderful"
"Went to Cuca last night for our first visit We had the Chefs Tasting Plate..what an amazing experience Beautiful variety of tastes and textures Great value for money We will definetly be back. Don't miss out on the Bali Breakfast Dessert when you go there Lovely staff and wonderful service ... Thank you to everyone at Cuca"Glenburn Tea Estate: "All you need to know about tea"
A fantastic three night stay on the Glenburn Tea Estate. Amazing, sumptuous suite with fabulous views of Kanchanjunga, Sikkim and Darjeeling. Delightful guide lead walks around the tea plantations and a very interesting tour of the tea factory complete with tea tasting.The food was exquisite, the setting dreamlike and the service second to none. The 40 minute jeep drive from the main road down a very bumpy, twisty track descending 3000 ft is not for the feint hearted, but for others it may add to the adventure. The drivers were marvellous. We never fealt unsafe.Rahai’i Pangun: "3D/2N River cruise"
"My wife and I took a 3D/2N river cruise with Wow Borneo in February 2017. The boat was clean and comfortable. We had the superior cabin, which included a double bed and private bathroom. All the guest cabins were air conditioned. 3 meals a day were served on the main deck. The chef aboard was excellent! We certainly never went away hungry. The crew and guide were excellent. Our guide spoke excellent English, which was a major help since we speak very little Bahasa Indonesia. She was also very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and also the local culture. She had a really sharp eye for spotting animals on the shore as we passed. Of course the main attraction was the chance to see Orangutans. We were not disappointed. We say them every day of the cruise, and at one point saw 6 in one location. There were also numerous monkeys and birds. This was the best tour we have been on in our year in Indonesia. I highly recommend it."
