Bali Jiwa Villa: "Pure Relaxation & Satisfaction"

Review by: Nicole P | Source: tripadvisor.com
I stayed in Bali Jiwa Villa in May 2015. I know already some places in Bali but this villa is extraordinary. You stay in a place inside the nature, surrounded from lush rice paddies with the panoramic view of Mount Batukaru and stunning sunset. The service of the lovely staff in this villa fulfilled every wish I had. I was served a delicious breakfast and dinner. Also lunch you can get there. Each villa has a private pool, bordering the rice fields...a fantastic atmosphere! I will definitively come back to this place :-D.

Sea Dance Resort: "Honeymoon heaven"

Review by: Chr155y | Source: Trip Advisor
"What can I say this place was absolute heaven for the five days we stayed as part of our honeymoon travelling around Thailand. The cottages are beautiful with extreme care and attention to detail from the giant beds with high thread count sheets to two types of blinds, one to offer privacy and one to block the light completely for sleeping. The air conditioning was the best we had, modern unit with no noise at all and they even provide a mosquito racquet, flip flops and beach bag and towels. The bathroom was amazing and completely different to anything we had experienced before as it was semi outdoor and had a tropical feel to it with lots of plants but still high spec with the fixtures and fittings. The facilities are excellent in general with an infinity pool, pool bar, kayaks to borrow at no charge, excellent WiFi throughout the resort. The staff went above and beyond with their hospitality, learning each guest by name and always ready to help with a smile, Faith and Helen were especially helpful throughout our stay with advice. The breakfast area/ restaurant/ shaded area was fantastic, open air and circular and by the pool it was fab if you wanted to sit and read in the shade and have a break from the pool or just sit and watch the world go by. In the evening it had a fab atmosphere and the food served was outstanding and we ate twice here, my husband saying the soft shell crab yellow curry was the best he had all holiday. They also do a happy hour on a weds where drinks are free! What more could you want?! We also took advantage of the spa and had the most AMAZING traditional Thai massage! The woman didn’t speak much English but she definitely knew how to do a massage! We also did the Thai cooking course that the resort offers, the trip to the local market was fab and the staff so friendly and helpful! My husband found it very helpful but I would say if you’re an adept cook give it a miss, better for families or someone with not much experience (like my husband!) There’s a really handy shop just outside the resort that you can rent a scooter from which we did for 200bhat a day (£5!) and it took a couple of hours to drive around the whole island or they can organise a taxi to the local Fisherman’s village for some nice restaurants and bars and a more lively atmosphere. There is also a 7 eleven at the top of the road. This is only a small resort but perfect if you want an ultimate chilled out, relaxing and personal holiday... we would recommend it a thousand times over! Thanks for an amazing honeymoon!"

It looks private from outside, foods are delicious and creative. Not that much choice but delicious. It is worth to try.

Labyrinth: "Tasting Menu not to be missed"

Review by: BeckyAnn2015 | Source: Trip Advisor
We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Definitely worth the visit. Service was great and each course was well explained. Restaurant was a little difficult to find in the shopping centre with limited signage but a delightful evening - would recommend.

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Delightful Boutique Hotel"

Review by: Tony E | Source: Trip Advisor
The Tharhara Inle Heritage Hotel is a delight. I don’t give 5 stars lightly, but this one deserves it. A small boutique hotel comprising just 10 individual cottages on stilts, at the southern end of Inle Lake. They do everything right from an environmental / cultural perspective. The hotel serves as a training ground for students in the hospitality industry. It grows its own vegetables in a sustainable manner. It encourages conservation. It houses a Burmese cat rehabilitation project. Highly recommended as a base to tour the sights and cottage industries of southern Inle.

Review by: iamraw | Source: Trip Advisor
One of the most beautiful places on this planet. no cars, no streets ... no stress . Great for yoga. The Resort is not easy to reach but it`s worth the effort. The food at the clubhouse is delicious. I am coming for the fourth time now.

Rachamankha: "Serene Refined Hotel"

Review by: theobsessivetraveler | Source: Trip Advisor
"Ratchamankha, Chiang Mai, Thailand The photos posted by other travelers hardly do justice to this exquisite jewel box of a hotel. Our family of four was lucky enough to stay in one of the newly opened two-bedroom suites. A long, covered balcony, complete with a silk-cushioned bench, runs the length of the suite, providing a view to the serene courtyard and pool below. A spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated living room divides the two bedrooms. Breakfast is served around the corner in a separate courtyard. Heaven! In the evening, a fire is lit and on special nights a local musician plays traditional melodies. Asian antiques and art are displayed throughout the property. An army of workers tend the garden and the buildings, keeping everything in immaculate shape. Additionally, the owner employs many Burmese refugees, trains them, houses them, and pays them well. You can feel wonderful about supporting such a hotel. What a find!!!! "

Anopura Resort: "An absolute gem!"

Review by: N1har1kas1ngh | Source: Trip Advisor
I can’t recommend this place enough. If you are looking for some quiet time amidst champa flowers and peacocks— away from the hustle bustle of Jaipur city, this is the place to be. Perfect hospitality, exceptional attention to the guest’s privacy, clean home grown food. A beautifully designed boutique property. An absolute gem!
