Supanniga Eating Room: "Nice desserts and ambience"

Nice and flavorful food. Service was good. Nice crowd. Not too rowdy. Ideal for family or dates. Pricing is considered higher when compared to Bangkok standard.

Reverie Siam Pai: "BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING STAFF! SERENE! RIVER & MOUNTAIN VIEWS"

We stayed for 5 days, occupying to of the large bungalows for our family of 5. we loved the gourmet food, the available shuttle into town, the rustic/antique vibe, the GORGEOUS ROOMS!!, the bean bag riverside loungers . The staff was amazing. Joy is an excellent person to recommend fun and exciting day tours. We've been to Thailand 8x, also living both in CR and Bangkok: this is by far one of the most kept up, luxury resort we've stayed in. Many couples were there for their honeymoons (we see one another at breakfast). Breakfast is HUGE and very very gourmet! Nice background music: Billie Holiday-ish and 40's vibe. They do not play annoying Thai Christmas songs. (been in an MK lately?! ugh) This resort was Amazing! The owner treated us to sparkling wine to celebrate my husbands 50th. The staff were amazing and their English is top notch. We cannot wait to come back! It keeps Pai town civilized . We also liked that we weren't required to purchase Christmas dinner (which most Thai resorts do) bc we love going out for Thai. (but if you do want true Christmas dinner it looked amazing). You must take the shuttle to Pai Canyon for the sunset, the rafts to the caves, and the rice field walks. If you come at Christmas please recognize it can get down to 45 Fahrenheit at night in northern Thailand . The staff gave us wool blankets to use each day (60-70 farenheit) while we sat in the common area (dining area) and read all day. Lovely people !

MesaStila: "Beautiful jungle retreat with excellent service"

" came on a group retreat so my experience might not be the same as a general tourist, but had the most lovely stay with such friendly, attentive and thorough service. Our every need was catered for with such politeness and efficiency. We were in a big group with multiple events throughout our stay and complex logistical needs, and everything was made so easy thanks to the staff. The rooms themselves are very traditional and rustic, but beautifully fitted out. I had a huge four poster bed with a glorious bathroom complete with a big stone bathtub (and fresh rose petals everyday). The property is HUGE and is absolutely beautiful to explore - so much greenery, beautiful mountain views, a stunning infinite pool and comfortable common areas. The wifi is fairly reliable which was quite important for us - it would fall out every now and then but not take long to reconnect. The food on offer was traditional - quite a lot of options and always delicious. My only comment would be that it was generally quite flavoursome and heavy - there were generally options for dietary intolerances but in terms of plain ""clean eating"" it was a bit harder. Similarly, the place has gym facilities but they are very basic. Although when you come to MesaStila there is enough other physical activity to do without equipment - just go for a hike around the property! It's about 2 hours from the airport which was quite a trek, but the seclusion makes it worth it. About an hour from Borobudur but easy to organise transport through the hotel. Would definitely recommend a stay for a secluded, relaxing, retreat style holiday. The one thing that would be worth noting in advance - it is a Muslim area with many mosques surrounding it and at prayer times very early in the morning and again in the evening chanting can be heard quite loudly through amplified speakers. I didn't wake up to it overnight, but a lighter sleeper might need to invest in earplugs. It's part of the cultural immersion though, so we quite enjoyed it."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "An elegant return to old Penang; atmospheric and fantastically restored. A very private retreat."

One of the most dramatically-scened hotels we've ever visited, and we are seasoned travelers. Conjures Penang's history as a wealthy, multicultural trade hub, with relics from Cheong's family. Don't miss the tour.

Mie Cafe: "Perfect Dinner"

"You know how sometimes an evening just clicks and it is perfect, that was our dinner here. Hard to believe as there was a big puddle out front that required some interesting maneuvers to get across and shortly after being sat down the power went out. They do have a generator that they started up so power was back on in no time. We did try many of their dishes and all were wonderful. It was romantic, great service, but slow enough to enjoy a full evening with out the feel that they wanted to fill your table again. Make reservations as we saw at least 4 couples turned away as the tables were filled."

MesaStila: "Fabulous place, staff and food"

"I could not fault this place and enjoyed every minute of my two night stay. Thank you and I will be back one day sooner than later. The meals were superb and I loved the duck...I loved it all. I went to the spa and fell asleep so don't really know what it was like but falling asleep is a pretty good gauge."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise for our family vacation in Thailand"

"We stayed at the Golden Buddha in April for 3 nights and my only regret is we weren't there for our entire 2 week vacation. In planning our trip I was non-committal to any one place concerned we would be stuck somewhere that didn't turn out as we expected, but had I only known. Our family of 5, kids aged 13, 11 and 9, stayed in the Baan Lucy which was beachfront and the perfect distance to the clubhouse and the bay. The house was lovely but when we come back, which we are definitely doing, I may look at one of the larger houses that had a bit more sitting/lounging area. We loved staying on the beach with the sunset and the breeze, but the back houses looked lovely as well. The arrival is something our family will never forget. Golden Buddha is not easy to get to and after a 3 hour drive from Phuket and a 90 minute ride on a pretty rough long tail, we pulled into paradise. The bay is great for kids of all ages as well as the grown ups. Pizza bar, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, swimming. It is a great way to spend the day. The beach is also beautiful and swimming is very nice- soft soft sand and great shelling. The food is over the top- very local and authentic but also sophisticated. There are a ton of families at the resort, for good reason, but could possibly be overwhelming for a couple on their honeymoon, although the clubhouse has an upstairs that was more dedicated to adults. Really a top notch resort in an unbelievable location. Almost hate sharing as it seems like a hidden gem in Thailand. Such a great experience after spending time in Bangkok, Railay Beach and Phuket. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"
