NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Fantastic Safari experience, good for the whole family or couples"

"This past Feb my wife and I wanted to do something different as we have traveled to many places in Asia. This past year we decided to go to Sri Lanka and with the guidance of famous travel writer Cynthia Rosenfeld, a safari was arranged for us at Noel Rodrigos Leopard Safaris. We camped off the grid in the jungle. Great accomodations with A/C although I do understand they hv al fresco tents as well. Food was really great and a great introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. the staff was wonderful and very attentive. From early morning Safaris, to early evening happy hour and dinner. under the stars i cant say enough of what a great new experience we had. We felt it was a personal guided tour just all to ourselves. The privacy and service was just wonderful and we greatly enjoyed being with a more exclusive outfit/. It was a special experience for us and we'd like to plan a return trip w/ our children as it was most educational with the guides pointing out the smallest details of all the wildlife. From Leopards to peacocks they have it all. dont miss this lifetime opportunity for the a real deal safari. The whole staff from making the booking arrangments to departure travel and all in between was truely a world class experience. "

Reverie Siam: "Lost Horizon"

We've stayed in Reverie Siam three times since it was opened a few years ago. Its elegant design, location, tranquil environment, excellent up keeping, great food, attention to details, caring staff... keep bringing us back to PAI. We also noticed improvements every time we returned there which indicated the owner's effort in making this a perfect resort.

Amata Lanna: "So happy we stayed here"

I went for a walk alone and felt quite comfortable. My husband and I walked to a restaurant for lunch. We also could walk to dinner one night very convenient location. I can't say enough about the staff, always smiling! I would stay here again.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Luxury in the wild"

"Our 2 night stay with NRLS will be a treasured memory. The luxury tents were set amongst trees to ensure privacy and were well equipped with lots of little extras including a flush toilet and a hot shower, without taking away from the camping feel. The atmosphere was friendly and we quickly felt relaxed and at ease with the staff and other guests. The food and drinks were plentiful and served communally allowing for good round table conversations with other travellers and our guides. Most of the food was Sri Lankan which was tasty and beautifully presented which added to the cultural experience. One of the highlights of our stay was our guide Dhanu. From the moment we arrived we sensed the passion and drive he had for his job. He has great knowledge of Yala and the wildlife which he shared constantly during our 4 drives as well as giving great photography tips. We were lucky enough to have 2 leopard sightings one of which lasted for about 15 minutes with no other jeeps around. We also saw elephants, crocodiles and lots of birdlife. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at NRLS and would highly recommend this safari experience. Thank you all for a wonderful wildlife adventure."

Arumdalu: "A Treasure wrapped in natural beauty"

"My business partner and I were on our third trip to Belitung and wanted to travel down to the south side to experience the Arumdalu resort that we kept hearing about. We were greeted by Hendrik in the morning,their driver, who was prompt and very helpful in getting us down to the resort in just over an hour. My highlights of the trip was experiencing the Beach, Food, and Culture. The beach is expansive, white, and calming. The private cove allows you to truly relax and enjoy the cooler ocean breezes. You don't want to miss climbing the large granite rock on the right side of the beach to experience some great views, snap some selfies, and just be amazed at the beauty. The food was a gastronomical delight. We had the privilege of staying at the resort when the owners were present and Albert took special care in sharing with us the story of how they created each menu item, along with the specially crafted plates that are unique to each main dish. Finally, we enjoyed learning more about the culture...from hearing stories of how Belitong got it's name (Bali yang dipotong), seeing Batik be made, to the diverse flowers, fruits, and vegetables they are growing in the area. The rooms were well constructed and furnished charmingly. The plunge pool was refreshing and make sure you check out their short nature hike through the jungle on their property. The staff were always willing to help, but were never overbearing. We look forward to returning when the cultural village is up and running."

Samanea Beach Resort: "Cambodia 6.17"

Had a great time, staff and hotel facilities excellent. The breakfast was very good and the dining facility was lovely and breezy. The room was spacious and comfortable and loved the outdoor shower. Pool also good.

Yandabo Home: "A little luxury in a surprising location"

"Ok let's start at the beginning. Yandabo is a small village on the edge of the irrawaddy river. Its only recently got electricity and is home to a very traditional way of life with the local village making pottery by ways long forgotten by the western world! So if you come here expecting fine dining, satellite TV, tarred roads and modern communication you might be disappointed. The Yandabo is however very well equipped with fantastic rooms which surpasses most city rooms, with a cavernous bathroom and a bedroom that is simply luxurious. Comfort is without compromise. The service too is fantastic with staff available and enthusiastic to give you as much as they can.. Food is of a very high standard too. All in all the Yandabo has achieved a remarkable level of accommodation considering it's location and I would happily recommend anyone to stay here."

David’s Kitchen: "Exceptional service & food"

We had a fantastic evening at David's kitchen. David personally welcomed us to his restaurant which was really nice and he was really interested in our family and remembered what we'd said. Great customer service.. The staff were all really knowledgeable about the menu and had the right balance between being helpful but also stepping back. We would highly recommend eating here.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Great hospitality, nice and cozy place"

Just got back from a 3-night visit in Luang phrabang. Stay here is fantastic. The place is very relaxed and cozy. Nice experience to ride a boat to downtown. The staff is great, especially Hann (GM) Who has excellent service-minded. I would love to go there again as the escape weekend.
