MesaStila Resort and Spa: "Wonderful get away in central Java"

This is a wonderful resort set in the middle of a coffee plantation. A cool respite from the heat of Yogyakarta, the service in this resort is first rate, from the front desk to the restaurant etc. My wife indicated that the massage she received in the spa was one of the best she has ever had. The breakfasts were fabulous, the views awe-inspiring, and the arrange tour to the Borobudur temple was excellent. My only negative is that the fitness equipment was really second rate and not operational when I was there. But everything else was great!

MesaStila: "Amazing Place !"

"I was hesitant as the location is rather far from our base of stay in Yogya but saw the review and decided to try it. I was so glad I did, it’s such as unique and amazing place. Nestled in the middle if coffee plantation and surrounded by 8 mountains. In the morning we walked around the surrounding villages and feel so peaceful, the people are extraordinarily friendly and we feel at home. It’s not cheap at all but the stay was well worth it, I wished I stayed more than 1 night. Will return and stay longer God willing. Uploaded pictures that will say more words than I could write."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion Logo Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "It’s an unforgettable choice I made for my wedding day"

"We booked in the whole mansion for our wedding day in July 2017. It is a pleasant and wonderful heritage building you have ever seen in a small town of Penang. Every corner of the building is a treasure for us and thus we made a decision to have our wedding held in this gorgeous house. There is a few things I must highlight, besides the attraction of the house, the friendliest staff who been working hard to help out whenever we need to the smallest details and care we neglected. Daniel, the manager, reception, wait staff to the housekeeping lady who gave us the warmest welcoming and joy during our stay, we couldn't express how blessed we were to have this brilliant team there to make our wedding a successful one. The mansion been constantly maintaining their facilities, rooms are incredibly huge and comfy, healthy and thoughtful breakfast. We enjoyed so much by just sitting in the lounge or the sofa that lies in the courtyard, every angle is an appreciation to this over 100 year-old architecture. We will definitely go back again and thanks again for such excellent service."

Satri House: "Lovely, lovely hotel"

We really enjoyed our stay here. Really friendly staff, from the GM downwards. They couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Stunning property, and well placed for exploring Luang Prabang, which is easily the nicest place we visited in Laos. We can't recommend this hotel too highly - it's a great stay.

CABOCHON: "The Friendliest place in BKK"

"I do not have enough words for how much I liked this hotel. I was traveling alone with a 10 month old baby (something that can be a bit hard from time to time as you have noone to share the work with). At Cabochon we had a great shelter to return to from the busy streets. Even though I love the whole style of this hotel I still think that the team is what makes it really really special. They are genuine friendly and independent and cared so much for us. Everyone is child friendly. I was able to arrange babysitting with them to go to a spa one evening. On top of this they have a great restaurant attached to the hotel which I can highly recommend. Since everyone wanted to play with my son I was also able to enjoy a peaceful dinner on my own which was quite nice. Breakfast is a treat and you can choose from a selection of breakfast types. We enjoyed an asian breakfast and it was my favourite on this journey. Apart from this the hotel is just beautiful and has a calm and cool colonial flair in the middle of the hot and dirty city. We enjoyed our stay at Cabochon so much that I can not praise this hotel enough! "

Maison Polanka: "Hidden Garden Gem with classic French Charm"

"Greeted at Siam Reap airport by Frances, a very pleasant young man from Masion Polanka private Villas, the chauffeur van waiting, was very comfortable and spacious. Being whisked away through the pleasant Cambodian countryside, arriving at Maison Polanka where a large security gate opened up the most tranquil garden tucked away within 5 minutes of Siam Reap town. We strolled through to reception, a cabana located by the large enticing pool, being greeted by local staff with refreshing hand towels and a long cool drink. Nothing was too much trouble for them, we were given Khmer House a stand-alone elevated original colonial home relocated some years ago to this site, that complemented the master house with its four self-contained luxury rooms. Our stay was magical, the food memorable, the decor was elegant and traditional, with a simple and personal touch from Nathalie (the owner) adding a splash of colour to each room is unique in its creation, Nathalie selects these from her collection of fabric designs out of her stores. We took cooking classes with Maison's Chef and relaxing massages on site, along with local tours to Ankor Wat and many other historic sites. Arriving back for afternoon tea by the pool every day at 3 Pm with freshly baked treats from the kitchen. Maison Polanka fulfilled every expectation of a luxurious holiday and more, we felt very special. Thank you so much for sharing your small space in paradise, we were so sad to have to move on continuing our holiday in Cambodia."

The Cabochon Hotel: "Cute and quiet hideaway in Bangkok"

Super friendly and helpful staff, a gorgeous old style building creaking with history in a peaceful soi just off sukhumvit, the Cabochon gives you all you need for a stay in this hectic city. From its handy location near to the BTS to its deserted rooftop pool this hotel delivers. Breakfast is good (although personally I always like to see some Bircher muesli on offer!). We slept wonderfully here, it's quiet and the beds are comfortable.

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent service, even better food!"

My experience at David's Kitchen was nothing short of amazing. It is not very often that the owner of a restaurant is the first one to greet you at the door. David welcomed us with open arms and went out of his way to make a personal connection with both my aunt and I. The service was incredible from the moment we sat down, and the drinks were even better! Throughout the dinner David stopped by twice to see how the food was and to make sure we were having a great time. The highlight of our dinner was definitely the Beef Cheeks- so tender and rich it melts in your mouth! I would highly recommend checking out David's Kitchen if you are in Chiang Mai.

The Twelve Hotel: "Highly recommend"

A bit far from centre but easy to get to BTS by motorcycle or Tuktuk. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, swimming pool is nice too but we have to time to try it. Overall a good experience to stay at The Twelve Hotel !

Supanniga Eating Room: "Excellent food"

We sat comfortably upstairs and enjoyed a gorgeous, colorful, authentic Thai meal. Traditional cooking and attentive service. This is not fast/ street food... It's the real thing!
