Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Nice Place, Friendly Guide"

Review by: Salsabila Putri P | Source: Trip Advisor
Aside from the unexpectedly historical building and the long tale of Cheong Fatt Tze and his family, the guide who told us the story was also amazing. Talking enthusiastically about history for almost 2 hours straight mustn't easy. On top of that, she's super friendly and willing to answer every visitors' questions.

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Good food, clean, comfortable and tranquil"

Review by: asclepios | Source: Trip Advisor
Spa water fills the hot water tubs, in which you can relax before supper. The setting is by a stunning river, with farmers working the fields. The food was of a high standard. The rooms large and comfortable. Ours had a veranda overlooking the spa pools by the river in which the local villagers come to bathe. Very polite and attentive staff. It is worth doing the day trip to see the local hill villages. They have few western visitors and are fascinating and friendly.

Cuca: "Best Tapas in Bali"

Review by: Tortoiseman2015 | Source: Trip Advisor
"If you are willing to get out of the Seminyak strip, this is most definitely worth the effort. Minimalist decor & concrete floors with an open kitchen is a hive of highly organised activity. The tapas style food is innovative, fresh and totally delicious. The owner/chef made himself known at our table and was so enthusiastic about all the local Balinese produce used to create his incredible dishes, the 'Bali Breakfast' is a must. Do yourself a favour.... GO!!!"

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Wonderful 1st meal in SR"

Review by: junexoxo | Source: Trip Advisor
Loved every course! Even though I'm not an adventurous eater, I was starting to feel full by the 3rd course cos I ate everything. The wait staff were attentive and prompt but not intrusive. After dessert, the chef brought a fruit plate personally and explained each fruit which was very nice.

Inle Princess Resort: "Just Wonderful"

Review by: moonflower59 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is an absolute gem on Inle Lake. It's in a very quiet part of the lake with a beautiful inlet full of lotus plants. We stayed in a lake front room which was worth the extra cost. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms have twin sinks and an outside shower! Catching the small boat in the morning with a leg rower is something you won't forget quickly. Breakfast and dinner on the deck is rather special too! Red Mountain winery is close by if you want to try the local drop. Highly recommended."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Fantastic break from the outside world!"

Review by: Rohonesh K | Source: Trip Advisor
During our trip of Cambodia (Jan'18), we spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We drove from Sihanoukville International Airport and were able to reach their reception point in little under 3 hours. The 25 min ride from the reception point to the actual lodge builds up the anticipation in a good way as some of the scenery is just jaw-dropping. Quant little tents with all the required amenities, extremely comfortable and a private deck for yourself, which you can use for enjoying the sun or jumping into the Tatai River wherever you want. With little or no phone connectivity (only Metfone has any sort of connectivity here), you can switch off from the outside world and just spend time with nature. They also take you in a boat to enjoy the sights of fireflies in the evening and it looks magical. You can enjoy the sunset as well (an hour's ride in a boat down the Tatai river) or other trips that they can arrange for you on demand. They maintain a decent DVD collection which you can use (they don't have satellite TV and this is a good change). Paulo (manager) and Narayan were super hospitable and ensured that every little request is taken care of and that you are well looked after. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Cambodia.

Mathis Retreat: "Everything An Ubud Hotel Is In Your Dreams"

Review by: thetravelbuddha | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is the hotel you imagine when you think of staying in Ubud. The view across working rice paddies is amazing as our the rooms, quiet amazing. The infinity pool across the rice paddies, the bean bags by the rice paddies and the general setting are all amazing. Staff are friendly and efficient. The hotel is too far out of town to walk (unless you want a long walk) but a van is run by the hotel every hour and they even made a special journey just for us. The breakfast is amazing, as little or as much as you want from the breakfast selection menu and whatever you have is great. Stay here, you wont regret it."
