Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Great hotel"

Review by: Glosdude R | Source: Trip Advisor
Excellently located hotel, right by the river front. The rooms (suites) are super - very large and stylishly furnished, and makes for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The surprise New Year's gifts were totally unexpected and a really wonderful thought. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip - we could have spent an hour just eating - with a huge selection of dishes to order and a panoramic view of the river. The free welcome drink is also excellent - can choose anything from their drinks menu including cocktails etc.

Maduzi Hotel: "Oasis in busy Bangkok"

Review by: alexander_skora | Source: Trip Advisor
"Had an enormously big beautifully designed suite and an amazing stay at this peaceful place in the middle of mad Bangkok. Hotel has been designed with a good feeling for space and feng shui and even though it is a few years old, it is an intimate and personal place and feels, like you are staying at someone's private palace. Nice restaurants just around the corner, very close to BTS via Exchange Tower and there is parking for about 20 cars within the walls of the property, which is very unusual for Bangkok I believe. Next time in Bangkok we will be happy to stay here again. Thank you for everybody from the staff, who made our stay very special!"

Villa Song Saigon: "The best hotel in saigon"

Review by: Stephen B | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is probably the best hotel in saigon. The setting on the banks of the saigon river is perfect plus district 2 is set in a peaceful suberb of the city offering a river taxi to the center. Fantastic food and staff made our stay very enjoyable indeed although it is very expensive for Vienam it is well worth it."

Tugu Bali: "A Luxurious Oasis Away from the Hectic Modern World"

Review by: Jon P | Source: Trip Advisor
This is our fourth visit to Hotel Tugu. Per usual the facilities/rooms/property is so well taken care of and the staff are attentive. Although the neighboring properties have gotten louder, it is still a wonderful place to get away from it all.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing 2 day safari"

Review by: runningmum69 | Source: Trip Advisor
We had such a brilliant time with Noel and his staff at Leopard Safari. We were 2 families with 4 kids aged 7 to 11 years old. The campsite (or glampsite) was beyond my expectation. Everything is provided (including your own flushing toilet!). The food was the best I had in Sri Lanka and the staff were very helpful. There was even a pool to cool down and a lounge/bar area to have a pre-dinner drink and meet fellow guests. The actual safari trips were wonderful. It's not like Africa where the animals are everywhere, but it was so much fun and we saw a lot of them. We saw spotted deer, water buffalo, monkey's, wild boar, elephants, land monitors, wild chickens, many many beautiful birds, crocodiles and 3 leopards. I would highly recommend this safari.

misool: "Active Family with 8 year old and 4 year old boys"

Review by: Khasha M | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We traveled all over Indonesia for 9 weeks, and we absolutely LOVED Misool. Here's the scoop: 1. Accommodations - There is nice variety of room types, and every room has a fantastic view. In my estimation the resort's website accurately portrays the cottages and villas. They are all tastefully appointed, very clean, and well maintained. Stunning views right over the ""house reef"" (a large beautiful reef right out in front of the resort that is teeming with wildlife - sharks, turtles, and a huge variety of sea life. We stayed in one of the largest villas - Villa Utara - HIGHLY recommend this unit if you're 4 or more people. All units have their own decks with direct access right into the lagoon and over the reef.(...) 4. Diving and Snorkeling - Let me first state that I have been diving in more places around the world, than anyone else I've ever met. That being said, Raja Ampat is the best diving I've ever done, seen, or heard of on the planet. Dense population of wildlife, massive variety... simply awesome. The snorkeling on the house reef is better than most of the diving that people would rave about elsewhere. 5. Children and Family - at age 8 and 4, our boys do not dive. However, they still had a blast. They learned to snorkel, we went paddle boarding, kayaking, playing on the beach, looking for coconut crabs at night (found many)... no shortage of ways to fill the day and have a great time. Look, if you've read this far, I'll tell you that I only have a few reviews on trip advisor. Like most people, I'm more inclined to whine if things don't go well than to report my good experiences (check my other two reviews that are one star). However, we loved this place so much that I feel compelled to urge you to go. "

TIGER MOUNTAIN POKHARA LODGE: "Amazing place"

Review by: kiwirep | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Tiger mountain lodge is amazingly relaxing, an oasis of beauty and organisation and fantastic food in the midst of a fabulously beautiful environment. The chef is splendid, the walks wonderful and the people and enthusiasm for the locale and the villages something to behold. There is a surprising amount to do and you are also on the verge of the Annapurna range and its extraordinary trail. "

Anopura Resort: "Heaven on Earth"

Review by: MariekesAoL | Source: Trip Advisor
I have travelled extensively all over India for more than two decades and never come across a more perfect haven - the most wonderful respite after hectic days at JLF and the hurly burly of Jaipur. It is so rare to feel so spoiled in such an unspoiled setting of invigorating sweet air and such pleasing aesthetics. Ishwar and his team are without parallel for their genuine hospitality, highest standards of solicitous service and sheer warmth. There is so much to admire about this sanctuary - the pleasing artistic details, the supreme comfort, the cosseted sense of privacy and privilege and the most outstanding food.I cannot commend this place enough as somewhere to come to be at the still centre of the world, to rest and revive. One night is not long enough and even before leaving, yearn to return. Congratulations to everyone involved in this exceptional boutique project.

Villa Song Saigon: "Last destination and wow"

Review by: Thomas M | Source: Trip Advisor
"After a 20 minute taxi drive we arrived at the hotel in the evening. Our first thoughts were - very nice place but outside from the buzzeling district 1. However the hotel offers a shuttle boat service and while enjoying the boat ride you are very fast in downtown. We stayed 4 days with a break and we got 2 upgrades. The staff is very friendly motivated and helpful. The breakfast is a selection from the a la carte Menu. Therefore the food is always fresh cooked and very delicious. Yesterday evening this was topped by the dinner. Fantastic and very tasty food. A great thank you to all of you. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

David’s Kitchen: "Superb! Chiang Mai’s Superior Restaurant"

Review by: Hawaii-Ina | Source: Trip Advisor
"Living in Chiang Mai for part of the year, I'd heard about David's. All positive remarks, but really did not understand how truly exceptional this restaurant is. A friend took me to David's for a belated birthday dinner. I was in heaven! The setting and ambience was elegant yet very comfortable. The service impeccable! I suggest their simple field greens salad and then go for the gusto...snails, duck, pork Asian style. And! My favorite desert is Creme Brule ....it was fantastic. Yes, it is more expensive than most restaurants in CM....but we are talking 5 stars here. In my estimation nothing compares to David's ...in Chiang Mai. The Very Best! Make sure you book a day or do in advance."
