Cuca: "Fav restaurant in Bali"
"We were staying next door at the Ahimsa Villas and popped in here for last minute dinner before we flew home I wish we had more time - it was amazing - tapas type dishes - all superbly presented. They recommended 3 dishes per person which was about right We followed the advice of the staffer our selection of dishes Highly recommended"tugu lombok: "A magical place with beauty in every step."
"The hotel is beautiful, with lot of different areas to explore, relax and even work. All the areas are decorated with elegance, full of art objects. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom was amazing with open air area. The hotel staff is very kind, you feel pampered every minute. "Chakrabongse Villas: "The perfect oasis in the heart of Old Bangkok"
I have used tripadvisor to plan trips for years, but our magical time at the Chakrabongse Villas has finally inspired me to write a review of my own. We could not have found a more perfect place to spend the final 3 days of a 2 week trip to SE Asia. Atom, the manager, and her staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful in making our stay in Bangkok so special, and upgraded us to the Garden View Suite, which was lovely. Tucked away in beautiful, lush gardens right on the banks of the Chao Praya river and directly across from Wat Pho and a short distance to the Grand Palace, the Chakrabongse Villas, is truly a hidden gem. Being in the heart of Old Bangkok meant that we could return to the hotel for a quick dip in the gorgeous pool to cool off from the infamous Bangkok heat before heading out for the next excursion. I highly recommend arranging to have dinner at the Chakrabongse Villas for an unforgettable experience - the dinner we had with a private table set up on the terrace right next to the river was the most romantic, and one of the most delicious, we've ever had (the owner is a descendant of the Thai kings Rama IV & V so the dishes are from the Royal Family's own recipes). We also enjoyed our tour of Bangkok's canals in the Chakrabongse Villa's own long tail boat. If you are looking for the perfect boutique hotel that offers a peaceful, historical oasis in hectic and hot Bangkok, then I cannot recommend Chakrabongse Villas highly enough. Thank you, Atom, for helping to make our stay so extraordinary.Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Priceless views and amazing service"
"You will feel like you have entered a different world altogether when you arrive at Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge. Firstly, you are treated to the most amazing views, which you never tire of even after spending days in Nepal. The Annapurna range in all its glory can be truly appreciate from the lodge, and you are not to miss the stunning picture opportunity of the mountain reflection on the infinity pool. The lodge itself is very comfortable and relaxing, you can do as much or as little as you like. The staff are incredibly attentive - each and every one of them. Marcus, the resort MD is so warm and friendly and so knowledgeable when it comes to Nepal, and most other things that it makes for a very wonderful stay all around. I would love to return soon, next time perhaps with the entire family when it is winter and there is good excuse to sit in the common area around the fire :) Best, Pramila"Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Chill & Relax There is a Must"
"My 2nd time and still loving it. Very friendly and helpfull team working in a cosy and elegant atmosphere. Nice & confortable pool villa. Just what u need to escape few days and be far from the crowds. Stop by u would not be disapointed! Caro"JING’S RESIDENCE: "Great Property!"
The highlight of our trip to Pingyao was experiencing Jing's Residence. The accommodations, staff, food, and service were 5 star all the way. Mr. Hadianas, the General Manager, and his excellent staff made you feel like one of the family. It is the ONLY place to consider when staying in Pingyao. Experience authentic old world charm while luxuriating in modern conveniences and amenities. A truly wonderful property. I highly recommend it.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Fabulous Beach Hotel"
Having spent 11 days sightseeing / touring the Golden Triangle further North we really enjoyed our 8 days of relaxation at this delightful beach hotel; its rustic nature but with all the mod cons situated within coconut groves beside a beach that goes on for miles with hardly a soul in sight was heaven. As an eco resort it has no plastic and the water for drinking was absolutely safe; food experience superb and staff outstanding, also the onsight tailor who was tremendous value. We will return.The Cabochon Hotel: "Stylish Boutique hotel"
In the middle of Bangkok we found this stylish Hotel in an old Colonial style Building. The staff was very friendly and after running around in Bangkok the Swimmingpool on the rooftop was a blessing. The room was huge and the furniture very stylish like the Hotel. A must stay for people who like to be in the middle of this city and want to enjoy the amenities of a quite Boutique Hotel. A lot of good Bars and Restaurants are just around the corner.Hotel Tugu Lombok: "Amazing!"
"I stayed at Tugu Lombok for 4 days, these 4 days were so cheersful that I still remember them like a long-time holiday. The service was possibly the best I have ever had at any hotel, very attentive and knew our entire party by name. The staff are hands-down brilliant, seemed genuinely concerned to cater to our every needed. Food amazing Thank you to the Hotel Tugu Lombok team for making our stay so special."Manda De Laos: "A delight for the senses!"
This restaurant is stunning. The setting is gorgeous, from the décor to the ponds with flowering lotus, the lighting to the perfect service - warm, attentive and discreet, if the dining was to be half as good as the setting then we were in for a truly special night...and the dining was perfect. Beautifully presented dishes, authentic local flavours... fresh, aromatic and delicious, truly 5star Laos dining in every respect but with homestyle warmth in the service style. The perfect place to explore and enjoy Laos cuisine.
