Muang La Lodge: "Most charming Xmas Eve ever"
We stayed in this absolutely beautiful small resort for two nights. We were fortunate that we had a short journey, having flown to the nearest town and been picked up by the resort's car and our guide. We thought the location absolutely stunning and the staff even more fabulous. Our trek into the hills on Christmas Eve could not have been better (even down to the picnic lunch we carried with us from the resort) and the Christmas Eve entertainment which ended with us lighting Chinese lanterns was just magic. Thanks to everyone at the resort who made our stay so very special.Slow Villas and Spa: "Exceeded all expectations!"
Every part of Slow Villas exceeded our expectations! The villa was stunning with so many beautiful details. The yard to our villa was HUGE and the pool was the perfect size - bigger than expected. The outdoor bathroom was absolutely blissful... we wouldn't have changed a thing! The breakfast was one of the most memorable parts of our stay at Slow! It was so delicious and having the friendly staff bring it to our private deck was such a treat. The staff were so friendly and always willing to help. We also enjoyed the spa a few times while staying at Slow... highly recommended! Overall, we enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Slow while on Gili Air and whole heartedly recommend it. It was a time we will never forget!Reverie Siam: "Truly memorable stay"
Amazing place, very quiet and peaceful. The garden and hotel grounds are gorgeous. Room is huge and clean. Food is really delicious, great option for breakfast and dinner. Staff is super warm welcome and will sincerely do everything to make your stay truly memorable. They know very well how to provide the best service. Especially thanks to Khun Dee from restaurant. We'll definitely be back.David’s Kitchen: "From the start you are made to feel that your dining experience matters to them as well."
Most of it has already been said it's not just an evening out it's an experience. David and his staff go out of their way to give you a memorable night out. We went twice the week we were in Chiang Mai missing out on some other restaurants we had planned to visit.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Superb"
"What a wonderful place. We are not easily impressed as we have been working in the travel industry for years so have stayed in some of the top hotels of the world but Neeleshwar is exceptional. We stayed 6 nights and left regrettably so happy and relaxed. Everything was perfection!!"VILLA SONG SAIGON: "A luxurious and peaceful escape from the bustle of the city"
"Our first two nights in Vietnam were spent at Villa Song. This was the most idyllic way to kickstart our holiday. The location beside the river is specatular. We had the suite on the top floor with the little parlour. Our two girls slept in the parlour which worked perfectly - leaving us in the four poster bed. This is a very romantic, charming hotel - the furnishings and fittings are beautiful. But the key for us was that it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The first day we were collected by tour company Les Rives to take us by boat to the Chi Chi Tunnels – this was perfect because they could simply collect us and drop us back at the hotel’s private pier. The restaurant is fabulous – a beautiful al fresco location for dinner and breakfast. "Mie Cafe: "Fabulous fusion food with a great chef"
Just like a true bistro gastro in Siem Reap, the chief cooks very nice and tasty dishes using local fresh ingredients, Khmer original recipes and a Mediterranean type of twist. The garden is nice and quiet for a lovely lunch and diner. Good selection of wine as well for a typical bistro meal. Long story short, hurry up to visit this place.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.Jings Residence: "Fabulous peaceful retreat in Pingyao"
A superb hotel - with attentive staff, very well appointed rooms and food second to none. The traditionally laid out courtyard, with room off it, provides a serene haven for recovery after a long journey (you must have travelled a long way to get to PIngyao!). The staff - led by Imam - are quietly attentive seeing to all of your needs. The room are well appointed and comfortable. If you can, eat in - the standard of food is the very highest. I wish there were more places like this!Locavore: "A must try journey for your taste bud"
OMG!!!!! No words to describe this resturant... the only resturant in Indonesia to be in top 50 Asian resturant.. enough said.. word of warning dinner reservation at least 1 month in advance... but the experience on ur taste buds... so totally worth it.. only set course available.... extremely friendly staff, top notch service.. as an Indonesian, so proud of them :) :) keep it up :)
