Sanak Retreat Bali: "Marvellous !"

Review by: LiPingXia | Source: Trip Advisor
"One would never imagine to find such a beautiful and peaceful place in the ""middle of nowhere"". Surrounded by rice fields, this hotel composed of individual bungalows is like paradise on earth ! Staff members are so kind (they called us because we had let the car headlights on), professional and careful, the restaurant proposes high quality food (seared tuna tataki is awesome) and taking breakfast in front of the pool is a priviledge !"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Heavenly"

Review by: John S | Source: Trip Advisor
"This gem of a place in northern Kerala was like heaven on earth. Very elegant and huge rooms with an even more gorgeous bathroom. The beach (Arabian sea) was just perfect and very clean. The food served was really delicious and fresh. We did not take any of the guided tours offered, but I presume that is good as well. Overall, we had a perfect and peaceful holiday at Neeleshwar! "

Summertime Villa: "Beyond all expectations"

Review by: JC349 | Source: Trip Advisor
"What a treat to stay at Summertime for Christmas and the New Year. The house lives up to all the expectations of their website and more. So much space and beautifully maintained. Great pool just the right temperature to cool down or to do laps. Excellent house staff looked after all our needs and produced delicious meals when we stayed in including an excellent Goan Christmas dinner and lobster for New Years Eve. Located very conveniently for accessing the coastal strip but far enough away to feel like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle. Hans and Sucheta the owners are lovely people and great hosts. They took us out for an evening cruise upriver which was a lot of fun. Thank you for everything."

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent"

Beautifully appointed decor. Greeted by owner personally, he was extremely attentive. Wait staff was well trained and wonderfully helpful. Food was excellent. In Chaing Mei it is must. Get reservation online before leaving home.

Villa Song Saigon: "Height of luxury"

Review by: 83blonde | Source: Trip Advisor
"We treated ourselves to a stay here on the last night of our holiday. It isn't cheap but does offer an exceptional experience. Just taking the speed boat into town makes it worth it! They organized a great tour to the tunnels for us and we enjoyed sitting in the peaceful gardens by the river drinking cocktails. The room is a luxurious boutique standard. The pool is a great size and lovely temperature. The only thing that could be improved is that the attitude of some of the reception staff was a bit snooty, it could be more universally warm and welcoming. Everybody was polite though and it felt very special to stay here."

Tugu Lombok: "Highlight of our honeymoon!"

Review by: marie5374 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We arrived and were immediately treated like VIPs. The service was amazing. We were greeted by Henri one of the managers and escorted to our villa. From that first moment onward the hotel staff went above and beyond. We came to Tugu from a trekking trip and my husband was getting over stomach issues that started on the trek. During the first breakfast, he needed to go back to the villa to lay down. When I told the server that, they immediately offered and delivered his food to our villa for him. They also made him a special herbal tea, which really helped his stomach. In every instance, they went above and beyond to make our stay truly special. We sent a bunch of our dirty laundry from the trek to the laundry to be cleaned and it came back perfect, not one stain remained. I don't know how they got all the dirt off of our clothes and boots!! The food was definitely another highlight. We loved that there was no set time for breakfast. So when we decided to sleep in, we could still get breakfast at almost lunch time. They had a wide variety of balinese as well as continental breakfast options. They also had a variety of coffees from different Indonesian islands. I loved trying a different coffee each morning. They also offer to serve you dinner where ever on the grounds you would like. If you would like to have dinner on the beach, in a special bamboo hut on the beach, by the temple, anywhere-they would make it happen. We had a special BBQ dinner on the beach where we had our own chef and server who cooked up an amazing dinner of fish, octopus, lobster, chicken, and vegetables. There was no way we could finish all of the amazing food! We also took a snorkeling tour to Gili island from the hotel. We didn't realize we would have the boat and the driver and guide all to ourselves all day. They made recommendations and we decided where we wanted to go. We wandered around on the islands and went to different snorkeling spots. We could take as long as we wanted at each place. It was amazing! Our honeymoon package came with a free 30-minute massage, which we both upgraded to an hour massage. The quality of the massage was excellent and personalized with exactly the amount of pressure we had requested. Overall, this was definitely the highlight of our honeymoon. With 1 km of white sand beach and beautiful views of the sunset, this 5-star resort had 5-star service (or better). This is truly a special place. We look forward to coming back."

Talabgaon Castle: "ABOVE & BEYOND our expectations!!"

Review by: Olivia S | Source: tripadvisor.com
"First and for most , sorry it's taken this long. We were there in late March 2015. We had the pleasure of experiencing the absolute grandeur of 'Talabgaon Castle' through our tour company 'Trinetra Tours'. Don't be put off by the drive to the place, as it seems endless. But, wait till you get there....... Words fail me about the grandeur of the place. This is somewhere you would go......just to 'chill' and enjoy the surroundings. We were a large group of 12 and every room was special. Mr Dalpat the owner, organized some Rajasthanie folk dancing for our entertainment, during dinner and it is something we still talk about. Thank you! We had a perfect night in every way. Staff and service could not be faulted and in short it's worth the trip. Do something different and experience the grandeur."

Maduzi Hotel: "Wonderful Stay"

Review by: Pinai N | Source: Trip Advisor
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this most friendly hotel. In effect, I stayed here to join the Half Marathon Running event (with the Starting Point at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre). The hotel took note of this special purpose and provided me with such a great upgraded room. Despite wonderful care, staff members refused to take tips. I had lunch with my running mates at this hotel after finishing the running event. The French food was really terrific and did not cost as much as usually expected of a top-quality hotel like this. Million thanks for all the wonderful services. I certainly plan to come back. From Associate Professor Dr. Pinai Nanakorn, Faculty of Law, Thammasat University
