Rachamankha: "Enchanting hotel"
We stayed for two nights and loved the peace and tranquility this special hotel provided. It is located in the Old City, and thus is slightly removed from the bustle of central Chiang Mai. Really the attraction here alongside the quiet is the extraordinary architecture. The property's attention to detail in design and decor is one of a kind. If these features are not what you are seeking this may not be the hotel for you but if so it is a special and unique stay.Tugu Lombok: "GREAT HOTEL 5"
"Beautiful hotel !!!! Large property with beautiful grounds . Many places to sit and enjoy a romantic evening. Staff in this place is utterly great . From security till manager all are great people . The service is great . Especially on the Beach ! The beach boys are so friendly and always do Everything to make you pleased . Definitely recommend"The Hue House: "So glad i found here"
"This place is a must . Quality food at exceptional prices . Servive top notch . Im cautious when trying viet food even though its spectacular and unique with so much goodness some places tend to use too much oil as i have encountered on a few occasions with mi quang and bo kho when you see the ""yellowish"" oil sticking to the side or floating on the top of the broth but the vietnamese like it this way. The food here is unique to the central of vietnam and omg absolutely minimal use of oil in the broth and dishes and incredibly cooked to perfection. Not only that but so tasty with lots of goodness . The price of the food for the quality made it that more special . This will be my go to place for traditional healthy ""Hue"" food! Be sure to check this place out and make sure you have a big appetite before going as there are so many different unique wonderful healthy dishes"The Tiger’s Eye: "Not to be missed!"
This is probably my favourite restaurant in Phnom Penh. The cocktails were sensational and each course was flawless. The staff knew the menu well and were super professional. This place is very much "on trend" and if you're in Phnom Penh, it's not to be missed. Yummmmmm!!Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Excellent"
A great break away from the city, just 1 hour cocktail cruise on a nice small cruise with great service can leave you very refreshed and love Bangkok even more!Satri House: "Our home in Luang Prabang"
We planned to stay 2 nights here and liked it so much that we stayed for 4. The ambience is perfect for Luang Prabang - beautifully appointed rooms full of antiques. Charming staff at all levels. A shady, relaxing, pool and laid back bar. Free bicycles to take you round town. Breakfast was delicious. We look forward to returning.Sea Dance Resort: "Terrific – Like joining a community!"
We are a family of four and stayed in a two-bedroom pool villa over New Year's 2017-18 for four nights. There were several other families there as well. The owners and staff made us feel very welcome, and the food and facilities were top notch. The best part was the new year's party, which made everyone feel like we'd been invited to someone's house to celebrate - really a fun time, we recommend the Seadance to everyone.SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Sowing Superior Seeds"
Recommended by American foodies, we hoped to be wowed and were not disappointed. Lucia and Felix serve startling delicious food with subtle beautiful flavors. They started us with a tuna amuse bouche which sat on a bed of ground raw ginger and a lemony infusion elegantly plated with miniature greens and dollops of lemon crema. Friends enjoyed the crispy Mille feuille tuna and gazpacho both delicate and layered with subtle flavor. Salmon was glazed and crispy skinned with the promised hint of Asian flavor with a lemon cream swoosh and lightly steamed baby carrots and green onion. The sea bass on eggplant with a side of tiny roasted potatoes and garlic and rosemary. Nice cocktail selection and lovely wines. An extraordinary tasteful modern beautiful building inside and out siting in Inya Lake. A must gastronomically for any self respecting food snob. Also they are training a new worker population in the art of serving beautiful food attentively and correctly. An important contribution to Myanmar and Yangon as well as using so many products and materials made in this amazing country.Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Paradise"
"We arrived at our third hotel on the island which was sea dance on the 23rd March, we were met by Tum who made us feel very welcomed, we were taken to our villa which was out of this world with its own pool and fantastic setting. The staff all called us by our first names and were all so fantastic. We eat in the restaurant and the food was delightful, My only words are Paradise, thanks for a fantastic stay and we will be back next year Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"Sandat Glamping Tents: "Best service – they go the distance every time"
"I can't say enough for Pak Tengo, Pak Made and the team at Sandat Glamping. They went out of their way to make our stay the most memorable ever. We were here during the month of Ramadan and were observing the Muslim fast, and needed to have our breakfast before sunrise each morning, at 4am, each day of our stay. The chef and wait staff stayed overnight everyday just to be able to prepare our meals for us, which was really very kind of them. They would go out of their way to organise anything at any time, for their guests - we had a massage for all 4 of us set up in the comfort of our rooms, with portable air conditioning upon request as well. I love the views of the vast paddy fields around Sandat, and waking up to the crowing of a cockerel, which just takes you to such a happy peaceful place, far from the madness of Monkey Forest Road and all the other more ""touristy"" parts of Ubud. Emanuela and Federico have done a super job setting up this ""Glamp"" so tastefully, from the unique bamboo structures and the trendy decor throughout the resort (I especially LOVE the ultra long table and wall of mirrors at the restaurant), and they have assembled a team of front office, housekeeping and kitchen staff well worthy of winning many, many more awards. If you've never experienced glamping, you should give it a go here, at least once in your lifetime. It's well worth the trek."
