Tugu Bali: "Great stay!"

Great stay in Canggu on our honeymoon. Canggu is action packed but Tugu is a peaceful old world getaway tucked right behind the action and feet from the beach. Very cool aesthetic and a history within the hotel as well as great food. So quiet and peaceful with amazing rooms and landscaping. Jenny the manager was great and made sure we were set up properly the entire stay! Definitely would stay again!

Supanniga Eating Room: "Excellent food and great service."

We had some really different and interesting dishes at this restaurant with the unrepeatable name for westerners. The Isan cuisine from northeast thailand has some really unique flavours and is distinct from most of the food you'll have tasted in standard Thai restaurants. The prices are high for the area but still a bargain. Service was excellent and the obligatory sticky rice with mango was delicious. Without any alcohol we spent 1,700 baht on mains and a shared pudding and some fancy fresh fruit drinks. Highly recommended.

Tugu Bali: "A new favorite hotel"

Stayed here in a Rejang suite for four nights and loved every minute. This hotel is the pinnacle of Indonesian beauty, design and hospitality. All the furniture is antique yet comfortable, and there is a mysticism when entering the rooms. Echo Beach is right off the back of the hotel - a beautiful spot to relax, read, swim, watch surfers. I also appreciated that the hotel fumigates the rooms twice a week to help with the mosquitoes. :) Canggu is a great town to stay in if you're looking for peace and relaxation. It's away from the crowds further south but has more than enough life, shops, restaurants, etc. Borrowed a bike one day to explore the surrounding villages and rice patties. Stayed here on a friend's recommendation and would definitely return.

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "The best"

We stayed here for two nights and it was wonderful. The individual room is beautifully design and has their own little balcony. The food at the restaurant is excellent. The reception has a great library. It is good to know you are supporting the local community as well. One of the drawback is that given it is so ecofriendly, we kept hearing noises from various animal on our roof which disturb our sleep a little bit.

Sukoon Houseboat: "Splendid, luxurious, perfect spot to start travel through North of India"

"A couple of days on Sukoon prepared us for an extraordinary trip through Kashmir, Zanskar and Ladakh. Fine, not too spicy high cuisine, served on the roof... Ideal place to get a rest after the heat of Srinagar and surrounding visits. Very helpful, friendly crew, treating the guests like royalties. For us, travellers with the group of Explore the Himalaya, this place meant the changeover from a stressed mind to a first feeling of piece of mind. If I had been into yoga, I would have found a terrific spot in the early mornings... Instead, I enjoyed the coffee(s) on the covered roof terrace with some members of the group to chill out to let all impressions of the day sink (and be checked on my camera). If there is one thing I regretted, it's the fact you cannot swim in the lake as it is not safe for us and somewhat polluted(although that is being worked at I read). To conclude, this is the best spot to stay over while visiting this area, wether by boat, taxi or hiking! Enjoy! "

Samanea Beach Resort: "One of our best stays at Cambodia"

Out of the seven properties we sampled in our eight nights in Cambodia, this was one of the best! And I really wish we could've stayed longer. We rented a junior villa for the night and was extremely pleased with our choice because the room was beautiful and spacious and the washroom came with an outdoor shower and bath. [See pictures] The resort has lush lawns and its own strip of beach with a pier - overall an extremely picturesque property. So much so that we ended up spending most of the day chilling at the property in stead of exploring Kep. Service at the restaurant and the bar is good - food is pretty good but the cocktails are average. Overall, a very comfortable stay and would definitely visit the property again if I am going back to Cambodia.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Dinner by the River"

"Stumbled upon this restaurant on our first night in Luang Prabang. Delicious food and lovely outdoor seating. I had the duck with papaya salad and it hit the spot! My friend tried the soup and that was also tasty. Would definitely try the hotel on my next visit - it looked clean, had a nice location and they offer bike rentals for their guests. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

Slow Villas and Spa: "A luxurious modern oasis in Gilli Air. An amazing place to slow down and relax"

"I should mention that prior to our arrival to Gilli Air, I was in constant communication with the Villas, trying to arrange for transportation from Amed to the island. Bali and the surrounding area was experience heavy tropical rain storms and no boats were travelling between Bali and Lombok. Juli and her team were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns, and were extremely helpful in assisting us. The provided many options and recommendations. I knew from the start we were going to be in good hands and have an excellent experience with Slow Gilli Air (aka Slow Villas). We travelled from Amed to Gilli Air via the Freebird Express speedboat. It dropped us off on the shores of Gilli Air, and then took a cidone (horse and carriage) to Slow Gilli Air. Upon our arrival, we were given a warm welcome by Juli and her staff. The entire team was extremely professional, accommodating, attentive and friendly. Slow Villas took was breathtaking from the beginning. We were shown to our private villa and it was magical. Everything has been thought out and attention has been paid to the smallest of details. To start, the map of the island, full of personalized handwritten recommendations was truly a nice touch. The villa comes equipped with a kitchenette, an outdoor bathroom, A/C, a memory stick loaded with a selection of movies, a private pool and outdoor sitting area. They even provide you with stylish straw sun hats to protect you from the sun and flashlights for walking around at night. In addition, they provide a complimentary 30 minute spa treatment at the property's spa. The spa treatment was so great that we booked second visit. The complimentary breakfast was incredible. Breakfast is delivered to the villa every morning and features fresh produce and a wide range of healthy menu options, we were overwhelmed (in a good way) by the spread. Featuring a modern bohemian rustic vibe, it's really charming and really encourages you to wind down (hence the name and philosophy of the place) and relax. The location is just off the beaten track. A secluded beach is a short walk away. There are bikes available to rent, which we took full advantage of. It's a relatively small island, but walking it sometimes proved to be just a tad too far. Biking is definitely the way to go. Honestly, we enjoyed our time at the villa so much, we tried to spend as much time there as possible. It was everything we wanted and more. We would definitely stay here again. This is truly a Gilli Air gem. Room Tip: This is a small property with only 10 private villas."

Muang La Lodge: "Relax here"

"This is luxury and the perfect place to relax, with great rooms, good food and a peaceful atmosphere just sitting in the gardens or by the pool. We stayed a few nights in upper floor riverside rooms. The rooms were a good size with comfortable beds and great balcony overlooking the river and the hot springs bathing area. Its well worth doing the 4x4 drive into the hills, as well as a guided walk around the local area which includes a pole raft across the river. The staff are friendly and helpful."
