samar: "Beautiful Retreat"

Review by: Joyja | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This is review is long over due. My husband and I stayed here in April and was blown away by it's charms, service and location. Upon arrival, we were greeting with a refreshing non-alcoholic drink and invited to sit in the the sunken sofa in the lobby area. It was nice not to have to stand around and wait to check in at a counter. The reception came and handed me my paperwork while I was relaxing. The General Manager/Owner came out to meet me and explained that my original room that I had booked had a broken AC and they had offer another room for me to stay instead. All of the rooms are gorgeous, well-appointed and and large. It didn't matter which room we were but it was a nice touch that he would personally delivered that message to me. The grounds is nicely kept and looks exactly like that picture on the website, the location is a bit tucked away but it kept the street noise at bay. It was only a 5-7 min scooter ride to the gates of Angkor Wat. We are dinner there every day and the food was good, avoid the steak, as I think the beef quality in Cambodia can be a bit tough. Breakfast was included with our rooms and it was a la cart and it was very well presented. The bathroom reminds me of an old french colonial style with a claw-footed tubs. However, the amenities (lotion, shower gel, etc) was in a ceramic container. Be careful, Since the shower gel can get slippery, it slipped out of my hand during my shower and the top broke off. Upon checkout, they charged me for a replacement since they said it was imported from Thailand. I didn't questioned it but it seemed a little silly to put a ceramic container in a shower and not expect the guest to drop it on the bathroom tile. All in all, A perfect retreat to come back to after a long and sweaty day touring the temples. Highly recommend it!"

Tandjung Sari: "Luxurious"

Review by: Bettyjane L | Source: tripadvisor.com
Unfortunately we only had one night here...it was so beautiful and authentic, the staff so friendly, perfect location and our room was a true haven of indulgence. The dancers, at the dinner show, were the best we saw and were truly amazing. Buffet dinner was good too.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Gorgeous place"

Review by: Slingbot | Source: Trip Advisor
We came up to the Lodge for supper - what a very special place, amazing views!! Supper was delicious most of the veggies served came from their very own garden, salad and beetroot, yum!! To be led back down the path to our car in the rain by the staff holding umbrellas and torches just added magic to a special evening!!

If you want to go to Cebu for whale watching, canoneering, island hopping, snorkeling etc. this place is the perfect place to center your vacation. Kudos to the manager Bryan, the cook Marivic and our tour guide to Kawasan and Aguinid Falls Mervin.

Maison Polanka: "An oasis of calm"

Tranquil hotel in a tempest of tourism. Friendly and helpful staff made our stay a delight. Nearly forgot to mention the food which was cooked to perfection. Really sutle flavours, we just loved it. Pick the yellow room if you can.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Slice of Paradise"

Review by: DMFHenshaw | Source: Trip Advisor
"How I wished we had another night! This is a remarkable experience in the middle of the jungle. Don't be put off by the thought of a tent, this is luxury rather than camping. You can swim from your deck and borrow kayaks and fishing rods, or simply relax in the sunshine. We went on the sunset trip which was beautiful. The fireflies were an unexpected bonus. We also took the trip to Tatai Waterfall. That was great fun and we kayaked halfway back which was so peaceful. They provide lunch and towels. Just take sunscreen and a swimming costume or you could jump in like the locals fully clothed! On our second evening we drank cocktails on the main deck and watched the sun go down before dinner. The food is good- delicious homemade pineapple jam at breakfast. We also enjoyed the waffles which were more like American pancakes with fruit and ice cream. The portion was huge so one to share was plenty. Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well. This is really a unique experience you don't want to miss. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Ort der Harmonie und Gaumenfreude"

Review by: Markus V | Source: Trip Advisor
Ein Ort der Harmonie in der Metropole Yangon. Zum Wohlfühlen und sich verwöhnen lassen. Liebevoll gestaltet. Jeder Gang des Menues 5 Element erfreute und verwöhnte unseren Gaumen. Ein aufmerksamer und ambitionierten Service verwöhnte uns. Lucia ist angenehm präsent, Felix Episser sieht man in der offenen Küche. Die architektonische Gestaltung ist sehr ansprechend, leicht, luftig, harmonisch, mit Kerzenlicht sehr romantisch und auch verbunden mit Myanmar. Ein absoluter Geheimtip (noch!) für Liebhaber der Sterne-Küche. Es empfiehlt es sich vorab zu reservieren.

Rachamankha: "Beautiful boutique hotel"

Review by: Randi F | Source: Trip Advisor
An oasis in Chiang Mai. Amid the noisy traffic Rachamankha feels secluded. It’s a small property with personal attention. We accidentally booked two nights separately and then discovered that they were different types of rooms, with the second night being an upgrade from the first. The staff seamlessly moved our luggage to the second room. The thing is, I like both rooms equally. While the second has an absolutely fabulous bed, the first had a much larger shower with enough water pressure to feel like I was being power washed. The second has a sofa but the first had plenty of space to move around and organize our belongings. We stay here again on our last night of the vacation and I don’t know which type of room I booked, nor do I care. I will be pleased regardless.
