FLOWER ISLAND: "Tropical Island Paradise"

"My wife and I sent several wonderful days at Flower Island Resort. We made the special trip to see the Jewelmer Golden Pearl Farm on our second day. There we were shown how the oysters are propagated and grown. The crew there showed us the process of grafting oysters(where the bead is inserted in to the gonad) as while as the harvesting of the lustrous Golden Pearls. Our room was very comfortable traditional native hut with modern conveniences such as air conditioning and hot running water. We really enjoyed the wide variety of meals especially the pearl meat salad. There is a trail to a tower at the top of the island that gives you a 360 degree view. Another path takes you all the way around the island in about 35 minutes. "

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Refreshing surprise"

"I spent only a few hours in this hotel, having spent the day on a long tour of the Mekong and leaving quite early the morning after. I was the only person in the tour to stay in this hotel, thanks to my travel agent, and can't describe how happy I was to get here extremely tired and find this gem. What was so good? A friendly reception, a quaint room with a separate sitting area, a nice shower, and a prime location overlooking the river promenade. Lots of locals walking in the promenade at night and the nearby restaurants and cafes, but it wont be noisy when you go to sleep as it quiets down. I had a very good night sleep here. In line with the French owners, this hotel has a great rooftop restaurant serving both French and local cuisine. After 2 weeks of purely local food Was happy to enjoy some familiar french dishes. A la carte breakfast was also great, and thank God there was real orange juice! When you do this tour you hardly ever stay in the city, as early next morning you go to the floating markets (a good experience, but nothing special). I wish I could have stayed here longer or maybe another night. This hotel was on oasis!"

Satri House: "A Beautiful Place"

"Quiet location. Lovely hotel with wonderful gardens,and secluded small areas with Buddha statues and ponds.The pool was beautiful to swim in. Very comfortable room. Helpful,charming staff with local knowledge."

Tugu Lombok: "A place for privacy and serenity"

"My hubs and I wanted as short getaway in Lombok. We were looking forward to a quiet and relaxing time and Hotel Tugu delivers it. The resort is Balinese style with a lot of art collections since the owner, I heard is an art collector. The resort is within a huge open space fronting pristine white beach. The villa we stayed was comfortable, clean and cooling. Food in the resort was delicious and reasonably priced. The most outstanding part of this resort is its team of people. Everyone was highly service oriented, from the front manager to the pakcik cleaning the ground. we had lovely chats with some of them. An area they could improve was probably the spa. It felt more like a massage than a spa. Small touches like a foot wash before the massage and a cup of ginger tea would have improved the whole experience. But it is a tiny blip on an otherwise outstanding experience. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Rachamankha: "Best choice in Chiang Mai"

"Located in the old town, next to the main temples (actually one of the most famous temples, Wat Pra Singh is next door). Very quiet location, perfect to escape after a long day of sightseeing. Very nice decor, very classy. Spread out, small (only 25 rooms), very quiet all over, you can really relax. Nice rooms (I recommend the deluxe rooms as they are much bigger and nicer). Also the library, the pool area, the spa are nice. Very friendly and nice staff. They do their best to accommodate you. For me best option in town - classy and quiet (it used to be a Relais & Chateau before)"

Flower Island Resort: "Amazing"

"This island is staggering. We arrived on the boat to a millionaires welcome, we were blown away and the only guests on the island, ill never have this again in my life. Make sure you do the pearl lunch trip it was fab. Also sleep in the lighthouse, we stopped on the 5th floor to witness the sunrise, ill never forget our stay here."

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Touching perfection"

From the moment you arrive at Glenburn and greeted by Will Faye and Alex, the wonderful experience of Glenburn begins. The buildings might be old English but the staff and the service is warm and attentive. A morning walk to the river of a little over 2 hours through the Glenburn Tea plantations with a wonderful guide is rewarded with welcome refreshments and a BBQ lunch. Heaven. On another day, Parveez the Plantation Manager, who manages 1000 people, took time out of his busy schedule to take us on a tour of the Tea Factory and educate us on the finer points of making tea, Darjeeling tea. We learn about Silver Needle, First Flush, Green and Oolong tea. Further walks through the local villages and we meet such happy and smiling people. You feel yourself wind down and relax. The meals are wonderful at Glenburn, all prepared with themes each evening around a table with all the guests eating together. Breakfasts and lunches are either taken on the veranda with the other guests, in your room or packed up for you if you are travelling. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is possible at Glenburn. Train tickets were changed, guides provided for private trips and food and drink prepared on request. Heaven! As Arne said famously "We'll be back!"

Satri House: "Might be my favorite hotel of all time!!!"

Spent 5 nights on our honeymoon here and it was magical. I am obsessed with the Satri house, it has tremendous character, impeccable customer service and truly is a dream come true. I cannot wait to return to Luang Prabang just to visit this hotel! Keep it up!

Rachamankha: "Impressed"

Stayed here for our honeymoon and wow was it a great choice! The pool is stunning and the grounds are something super special. You feel like royalty here. The staff wants nothing more than to help and please you and do such a great job of making your stay lovely! They gave us fee champagne upon arrival and the manager was so lovely. Airport pickup with them went swimmingly and the breakfast was five star every morning! Couldn't be more full never ending amount of food offered! Room service was a delight as well. Only thing I would say is stay away from the burger and the dinner at the restaurant both were below average. Other than that everything was five star perfection! Will never forget this place!!

Reverie Siam: "Just gorgeous"

My husband and I stayed here for six nights for our honeymoon. The garden and hotel grounds are gorgeous, the villa was incredibly comfortable, quiet and luxurious, and the service was outstanding. The food and drinks at the restaurant were also excellent. It was so good we cancelled our next venue and stayed for extra nights! It is a little out of town but there is a free shuttle into and out of town on demand which only takes five minutes. Will be coming back!
