Supanniga Cruise: "Unforgettable experience"
As a frequent single traveller to Bangkok, and a hard customer to please I highly recommend this dinner cruise , not a fan of the large cruise boats I decided to try the. dinner experience and I am so glad I did. Service was exceptional and the food was amazing, 7 courses consisting of small portions, super to try different dishes. The manger was superb, nothing was to much trouble a credit to the company. The views from the boat were lovely and even when it started to rain kind of added to an already lovely atmosphere.Sandat Glamping Tents: "Luxury Hideaway next to rice paddies & jungle"
We stayed in one of the villas which shares a pool with 3 others. The accommodation was gorgeous - bedroom above plus semi open air bathroom and day bed area downstairs and beautiful decor, art & landscaping throughout the property. The boutique nature of the venue meant that the restaurant & lounge were calm but service and food still excellent. Given that this is nestled into the jungle, frogs & other wildlife were pretty noisy through the night but that added to the charm for us. We also enjoyed a private yoga class with a super teacher in the yoga pavilion early morning.Maison Polanka: "Make the Most of Cambodia"
Fantastic accommodations in the heart of Seam Reap. Quaint, quite boutique hotel that catered to our every need including creating an itinerary to maximize our 3 days exploring the city. In addition to fantastic food, they have a wonderful, helpful staff that coordinated tour guides and set up a special tour of the Diamond Silk weaving farm. A must! The pool was the perfect refresher after hot temple tours!NEELESHWAR: "Superb"
"What a wonderful place. We are not easily impressed as we have been working in the travel industry for years so have stayed in some of the top hotels of the world but Neeleshwar is exceptional. We stayed 6 nights and left regrettably so happy and relaxed. Everything was perfection!! "Hotel Tugu Malang: "A warm feeling of excellence in hospitality!"
"Selamat datang, traveller - you can rest now after your long journey as a member of the family. Let us take care of all you might wish, and just relax! Built in 1992,this luxury boutique hotel offers the pleasure of very spacious rooms with extremely comfortable beds arranged as a big (colonial) house around a nice garden with pool. After afternoon tea with the sumptuous specialities of the kitchen on a nice colonial garden terrace just next to the busy square, we were led to explore the house full of antiquities and art collection. The presidential suite is worth a detour. Next to the restaurant there is a cosy smoker's room(well ventilated) to enjoy cocktails, wine, whiskey and other liquids you might have missed.. We had dinner at another place, but surely the restaurant food will be great - we could savour it the next morning with the huge choice of breakfast - European, American, Chinese and local... Lots of healthy options as well. As to the staff: English speaking, they are there should you have any questions or wishes, always friendly and helpful!! Worth the detour, even from Jakarta! Terimah kasih!"Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Fabulous visit and incredible views"
Spent 3 glorious nights at Tiger Mountain Pokhara. It is an amazing place and worth the additional expense. The views to the Annapurna range are simply magnificent and waking up to a sunrise over the mountains is very special. The rooms/cabins are very luxurious and perfectly outfitted . The food is wonderful and always the option to have spicier Nepalese or tamer continental fare. The staff couldn’t be more helpful or accommodating whether it was to arrange specialty birding walks or medicine for a stomach ailment. After the hectic world of Kathmandu this place was more than a breath of fresh air. I would encourage you to make time to spend a few days at Tiger Mountain Pokhara!Tugu Bali: "Truly immersive Balinese gem"
Tugu is surely among the most incredible, moody hotel I have ever stayed at. The hotel and rooms are designed with a unique blend ethnic & traditional luxury from another era. We stayed at the Rajang suite with a sea view. The Room featured an enormous elevated bed that made us feel like part of the local royalty. We absolutely loved the food and taking our breakfasts in the covered daybed in the garden facing the waves and surfers going on their favorite activity. Perfect place for a romantic holiday. We will definitely go back.Tugu Malang: "Excellent Place to Stay"
"Hotel Tugu Malang is a place to stay for those who love art and history combined with pleasure. While the service is way beyond average, one will also find that the food served in the restaurant and the snacks sold in the small shop house behind the hotel are able to entertain the taste buds. The artistic decoration of the hotel can also entertain the eyes. Absolutely nothing to complain, but....since there is nothing perfect in this world, I would suggest that each staff is provided with the same level of knowledge and way to explain the history of the hotel, the owner, the rooms and the antique goods so that all guests will get the same knowledge"Bassac Cruises: "Fascinating and beautiful cruise"
This is such a great way to explore the Mekong Delta. The boat gives a comfortable experience as you sail by fabulous scenery , observing families and enjoying delicious food. Our guide , An, was a delight. She shared with us how people live in the Delta villages including first hand experiences and such interesting information. Visit to rice factory and floating market great!Rachamankha: "Best place in the old city of Chiang Mai"
"Great location in the old town. Beautifull hotel. Charming and only 25 rooms. Nice room. Great restaurant with great food. Again the waiters do not speak english. How is this posible in a 5 star hotel? Nice pool but very bad hard chairs and no service at the pool the first day we were there. Breakfast is efficiently served A la carte. A bit strange; paper on the table during breakfast. Feels like we are in a cheap Chinese restaurant. In all the best place in the Old City."
