RACHAMANKHA: "Slice of heaven in Chiang Mai"

"This hotel was absolutely beautiful and a refuge to come home to after a day strolling the busy streets of Chiang Mai. There is always a wonderful aroma of incense around the property...I think it was Sandalwood, but nevertheless was just delicious. The rooms were spacious and the bed was so comfortable, again after a long day. The lounges that surround the property are also delightful and I just wish I had had more time to sit and read and enjoy a drink while enjoying the decor. It is an elegant property, yet not stuffy and very welcoming. "

Le Passe-Temps: "A cosy place to relax away from the crowds"

This small hotel is set on a quiet beach overlooking Ao Phang Nga bay, Beer and the staff are wonderfully attentive, and do everything to make your stay perfect. The sitting room / reception is beautiful, with a resident barman in the evenings. The rooms are well furnished, cosy and the hotel is ideal spot to relax after exploring the canyons of the Ao Phang Nga magrove forest - one of the most magical experiences I have ever had or taking a slightly less serene boat trip around the islands. The only shame about exploring the bay itself is that it is often populated by large crowds of lifejacket wearing tourists bobbing about in the water at every spot with a nice beach. The hotel's own beach is deserted as you can only swim for a couple of hours at high tide, so creating a glorious Robinson Crusoe feeling in such a busy area. The hotel is simple, but everything you need is well done. To be recommended

David’s Kitchen: "A True Chiang Mai Treasure"

"On our first night in Chiang Mai, we wanted to start our stay here with a nice dinner, and after reading all of the wonderful reviews, we decided there would be no better place than David's Kitchen. Our experience not only met our expectations, but exceeded them. When we first sat down, David came to our table and was more than kind and welcoming. The staff paid such close attention to detail and with their superb service, it made our dining experience unforgettable. There was never a moment we were left unattended. The pumpkin soup and the raw salmon with cucumber salad was absolutely delicious and I definitely recommend those as starters. Then, I ordered the Beef Cheek as my main course and it was magical; a true culinary experience for anyone who has a passion and appreciation for food. You could feel the chef's heart and soul in every dish. Then, as if it couldn't get any better, we were talking to David again, telling him how much I love to cook and that's when he invited my whole family to the kitchen to meet Chef O. The Chef and his team gave us a warm welcome and took a picture with my family. Overall, the experience we had here was an utter treat and one we will never forget. Thank you David and Co. for an amazing night filled with impeccable service and food. Anyone who is staying in Chiang Mai should not leave without getting the pleasure of visiting this Chiang Mai treasure. Sincerely, Alina Aslanian & Family"

Rachamankha: "Beautiful quite spot in historic Chang Mai"

"Could not have had a better experience in Chang Mai. The Rachamankha is a lovely boutique hotel that had an excellent staff and clean, comfortable rooms. We were fortunate to stay in the 2 bedroom suite and it suited our needs perfectly (2 couples). The pool is surreal, quite, and beautiful. The pool staff are constantly cleaning and bringing fresh towels and water. Great place to enjoy a hot afternoon in Chang Mai. The hotel itself is unique. Old double doors, ancient wooden urns and paper chandeliers give the hotel a ancient feel but with all the modern amenities. Would absolutely stay here again"

Inle Princess Resort: "Outstanding"

"Another wonderful stay at Inle Princess Resort. The review is rather similar to previous ones, but we find everything at the resort just excellent, the chalets, restaurant, spa, bar, the newly redesigned gift shop, the swimming pool and again, above all, the people. Several staff members speak some basic German and Spanish and I encourage guests to give them a chance to practice their language skills. Rent a bicycle and explore the countryside, nearby villages, markets, or the Maing Thouk forest monastery, just ask at the front desk. The food, whether Burmese or Western, was always delicious. We simply followed the recommendations of the chef (Nwe Oo) or of one of her assistants (Mo Kham). The homemade Frangipani ice cream is among our favourite desserts. The special dinner on the ""honeymoon island"" just for us was an absolute highlight. Very impressive is the social responsibility of the resort owner family, supporting the local population in many ways, e.g., most recently, construction of a new high school nearby (""Bamboo School"") is under way."

Sukoon Houseboat: "Best houseboat: 5 star category as a houseboat.."

We stayed there for one night... but that one night was the best night for us in Kashmir... Room, bathroom, hotel staffs, foods all were up to the mark... we really had a great time...probably best houseboat in dal lake... houseboat's Shikara is also a big & beautiful one...must recommend for high budget tourists....

Inle Princess Resort: "Lovely in every way"

The Inle Princess was just lovely; and the staff was eager to please in every way. The thatched roof bungalows were very well done and the grounds were meticulous, peaceful and enchanting. I'd recommend a bike ride to the nearby vineyard. Also, bring warm clothes for the very cold nights and mornings.

Anopura: "A lovely escape"

My mother and I had one of the nicest stays of our trip to India here. The food is excellent. The staff are lovely and the location is peaceful.It was a nice break from the frenetic cities of Rajasthan. The accommodation is excellent. The decor is very tasteful. We regretted not being able to stay a second night. The staff are very well trained. They are helpful without being intrusive.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Back to Nature"

I have stayed there with my family for one night. It was wonderful experience. The food taste is excellent. The guest service are the ultimate. All the staff especially the reception counter, Ayurveda Spa are always with a bright smile. I have stayed many type of hotels in all over the world, but Neeleshwar Hermitage is a different experience. I strongly recommend this property to all my friends and readers of this review. Its awesome .
