Neeleshwar Hermitage: "One of India’s best boutique beach resorts"

"Just 18 bungalows/rooms, each beautifully and comfortably furnished with their own semi-outdoor bathrooms. Efficient air conditioning. Spa with a range of treatments and massages. An endless white sand beach. Good sized pool although more sunloungers might be a good idea. Yoga centre. Two restaurants to choose from: one on the beach which is especially fabulous at breakfast. Fresh seafood and lots of local dishes too. And everything is set in beautiful gardens. A truly relaxing place to stay. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

Rachamankha: "Wonderful architecture and good service"

Been there only for dinner as tried to book but room were full. Excellent service in the restaurant. Staff were very attentive but some need to learn more product knowledge. I really like the Thai Chinese mixed with contemporary northern interior design as I already fall in love with this place and promised to visit once again as a hotel guest.

Amata Lanna: "Wonderul, intimate, getaway!"

Gorgeous space. Very well decorated. The rooms are AMAZING, with wonderful furnishings. Very beautiful space that feels like a tropical resort even though you're in the middle of a big city! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful!

Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Beautiful old world feel"

What a serene and peaceful place just minutes away from town. Have a massage or eat lovely local food overlooking a lotus pond. Loved it and didn't want to leave. Staff were very attentive and friendly as well as helpful. Wish we had stayed longer.

Amata Lanna: "Lovely little oasis in the city"

My husband and I are staying here currently for 4 nights, this being our last and we have really enjoyed our stay. It’s really does feel like a little oasis in amongst the hustle and bustle of the city. There aren’t many rooms so it has a lovely boutique feel to it with lovely plants and trees. The staff are really helpful and friendly. It’s in a great location to the markets and old city. Everything is within walking distance or a short car journey. Lovely restaurants near by as well. Would highly recommend this hotel.

tugu bali: "As Great As They Say It Is"

"Thanks to TA reviews we spent a day here that was unforgettable. Surrounded by the din of this busy area, it is an oasis of serenity and extraordinary hospitality of the staff. Get up at dawn and hear the birds on the property. It is a museum of artifacts- you need go nowhere else on Bali. We stayed in Rejang Suite with outdoor tin tub, view of water. A long way from USA but nothing like this in North America. We were given gifts when we left that were handmade. Amazing. "

Villa Song Saigon: "Calm oasis"

"This hotel is a calm oasis away from the bustle of the busy city with its thousands of motor cyclists. Friendly helpful staff, a stunning building and a refreshing clean swimming pool, with delicious food (local and international) served in the garden by the river. We liked the tablet computer photos (brought to the table) of the food so we could see before we ordered - a nice touch. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Inle Princess Resort: "How disappointing"

"We travelled by car to the resort because our boat transfer was cancelled due to poor weather. We finally arrived at the resort down a dirt track and parked under a lean to. We were greeted by a young gentleman who said he would take us to our room. I had to ask if we were in the right place as it looked nothing like the photos on the net. He assured me it was. As we progressed, it soon became obvious that we had come in the back entrance. Our feelings went from total disappointment to one of elation. Check in was simple and efficient. Our room was clean and spacious. I could comment that there was not enough light in the room, but the intimacy it provides is all part of the charm of the place. The staff were most helpful in all areas and their genuine happiness could not be faulted. Like most of Myanmar at this stage, the SMALL imperfections in most places when compared with other 5star establishments in the rest of the world are what makes its charm. The breakfast offering is most probably a bit average but adequate. We would happily stay again and have no problem recommending it for any other couple."

Reverie Siam: "Gorgeous grounds"

Quite possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Stunning grounds and bedrooms. The staff here are so friendly, particularly in the restaurant. The food was very tasty, in fact we had dinner here twice and lunch once, as well as breakfast every morning (try the avocado omelette and then a mojito later in the day!) it was the small touches in the hotel which we liked. For example the bean bag cushions on the decking overlooking the river, we spent an entire afternoon lazing on these watching the world go by. Yes the hotel is not in the centre of Pai, but then most hotels and guest houses in the area aren't. Reverie Siam is a little over 1km from the walking street, and the hotel provide a free shuttle service at any time upon request. They also gave me a mobile so that I could phone them when I wanted to be picked up. One minor irritation was the dim lighting in the room, but everything else was so lovely including the free standing bath tub that this didn't bother us. Definitely somewhere I would stay again.

The River Resort: "Wonderful, relaxing time in a truly peaceful environment"

"We stayed in The River Resort for - unfortunately only - 1 night at the end of July. We were truly amazed by what this hotel has to offer. The welcome was gracious and we were upgraded from a ground floor room to an upper floor room without charge. The room itself was simply beautiful with a private balcony, massive comfortable bed and very stylish decor. We particularly liked the two showers available - one outside and one inside connected by a door. What an unexpected, amazing surprise! We used the hotels bikes for free to bike to Wat Phu. After an exhausting day outside the calm, relaxed atmosphere of the hotel was exactly what we needed. We had dinner at the restaurant overlooking the river and enjoyed the views of the sunset. The food served was excellent (try the Lao style pork neck!) and our waiter very attentive to our every need. Drinks were delicious as well. Prices are in USD for easier comparison. The breakfast the next morning was excellent also. The only minor complaint I have is that at nightfall there seems to be some sort of mechanism in place that emits really loud and high-pitched sounds (presumably to keep mosquitos away in an eco-friendly manner!). We would have chosen to have dinner an hour later if we had known about this feature. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our evening. We will definitely be returning to this amazing place and recommend a stay for anyone looking for some peace and quiet in this area."
