Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Heaven on Earth"

"This is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed, peace and tranquillity by the Arabian Sea, heaven on earth. The service was amazing, nothing was too much trouble, we stayed in a lovely cottage called Shanti overlooking the sea, attention to detail was of the highest standard, everything was perfect. There are just 12 cottages which make it very special. The spa was the best we have ever been too, we had a Shirodhara massage, amazing... we were rejuvenated and calmed. Breakfast was at the beach restaurant, (food was of the highest standard) after early morning yoga, what a beautiful way to start the day. We had a wonderful stay at Neeleshwar, and hope to return again. "

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Surpassed all safari expectations"

My Mom and I stayed in a tent and went for 4 drives (two early morning and two afternoon). Everything was incredible! The camp is set-up just outside the back entrance of Yala National park, which meant that there were less people (and jeeps). The camp itself is beautiful and we saw fantastic wildlife on the drive to the camp gates. Our field guide (Saj) was fantastic. He has a natural science degree and trained at the safaris in Africa. He knows everything about the animals including the birds. My Mom is a #birder, and with Saj's guiding, we saw 100 #birds We had 5 #leopard sightings, many of which were at very close range. One leopard walked right beside our jeep and paused to make eye contact. We saw numerous #elephants as well including #tuskers The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I am #celiac and need to eat #GlutenFree and #DairyFree This was absolutely no problem. I did a lot of research in choosing this safari and have no regrets. It really was spectacular! Request Saj as your field guide.

Muang La Lodge: "Accueil exceptionnel"

Two fantastic days in quiet (so that we remained asleep despite the programming of a tour!) Pay attention at all times to us, an absolute detail care, fine dining, baths at 40 degrees. .. From relaxation pure!

Villa Song Saigon: "More luxurious after renovation"

It's been awhile since I stayed at Villa Song Saigon. I was surprised to see that the place has become even better after the recent renovation. The restaurant looks better and the new menu is even more gastronomic than the previous menu. It is really worth checking it out again. The staff continue to be accommodating and nice as always.

Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Spectacular!"

I'm not exactly sure what web thread I followed to discover this jewel of a dining experience but I'm thankful for finding it! From the moment we were escorted onto this intimate floating restaurant to our departure two hours later, we felt like royalty. Champagne, a six course Thai feast (explained each step of the way by our server), tastefully selected music, and the exotic sights of the illuminated shoreline made this absolutely remarkable.

Dewakan: "Extraordinary Gastronomic Experience"

I have been to this restaurants numerous times; every time when they change their menu. Chef Darren never fail to surprise his diners with natural ingredients sourced locally. The staffs were also very attentive and provide excellent service. The menu was also reasonably priced.

Tugu Lombok: "Magical place"

"I remember we arrived at Tugu around 9pm. While checking in two families arrived. They were on the same flight we were from Singapore. Looking all around I exclaimed ""What a beautiful place!""... And the guy next to me replied ""It's a magical place!"" That's what Tugu is. A magical place. It's not a luxury place, it may not be the best hotel you've ever been! But it may very well be an experience you will never forget. We enjoyed the Villa, the different places where we had dinners, the beach, the excursion to the Gili islands and overall we enjoyed the people. Thank you for let us fell so well! "

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Full of Love"

"As their website states the husband and wife team that owns and operates this restaurant are full of love of everything and it shows in the food that they serve, the ambiance and comfort of the restaurant and the many good causes they support. When I emailed the restaurant to book a reservation here is the response that I received: ""Thank you so much for your reservation. We will set up a nice table for you on terrace. Thank you so much. With best regards, Lin Lin"". Right from the start I had no doubt that I had picked a great place to dine in Yangon. Felix is a Michelin Starred Chef who has worked in many restaurants in Europe and his wife and partner Lucia is a wonderful hostess and manager for the restaurant. Lucia came by our table several times during our dinner to visit with us and we had several amazing conversations with her about their history as husband and wife in the restaurant industry. We learned from Lucia that she and Felix decided that they wanted more than what Europe had to offer and traveled to Malaysia to open a restaurant there and then continued on to Myanmar where they found their dream location. The food that they serve at Seeds is absolutely outstanding, made from very fresh local ingredients and the servings are generous. Between each course we were provided with small snacks that were also amazing. At the end of our dinner we were inundated with incredible desserts even after saying that we could not eat any more food. We took what we could not eat back to our hotel and we had a wonderful treat for the next day. During our conversations with Lucia she explained how much they love supporting the local farmers, the local meat producers, the local people and also the community of Myanmar as a whole. After leaving Yangon my wife and I have talked about Seeds a lot, how wonderful the food was and how wonderful and giving Felix and Lucia are. We hope that everyone who visits Myanmar will include dining at Seeds during their visit for the great food that they serve, the great causes that they support and their love of everything that they do."

Maisons Wat Kor: "Refined elegance; tranquil gardens; superb food . . .a charming, homely hotel"

"We spent Christmas Eve at this wonderful hotel. An oasis of calm close to the river. You approach through mature gardens. The colonial style hotel is small but with many areas set aside for reading and relaxing including a lovely pool area Every attention has been paid to detail so decoration is understated but elegant. Christmas Eve meal was a special celebration. The menu was sophisticated. The food five star! Gentle background music was provided by local musicians. There was a short Cambodian traditional dance provided too. This was a special meal but believe that evening meal every night would be superb. Our continental breakfas included home made French bread and jams; home made yogurt and muesli. Options for other styles of breakfast were available. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The Manager and his wife (sorry forgotten their names) also came to chat. The hotel is a tuk tuk ride from the centre of Battambang. It's a pleasant, interesting ride along the river We only stayed one night but I would return and would thoroughly recommend"

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Pure bliss"

My husband and I stayed at this lovely resort for 5 days at the end of our travels through Thailand and it was an absolute dream! All of the staff were very helpful, welcoming, and instantly made me feel at home. As we rode on the long tail boat to the resort I could start to feel my stress and worries melt away, which continued throughout our time there. The food was absolutely amazing and there was a huge variety. I don't think they offered the same thing twice in the week we were there. The breakfast buffet was heavenly and the best way to start each day. Although I have traveled somewhat extensively, I have never been so sad to leave a resort. I would go back in a heartbeat and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all.
