David’s Kitchen: "Great dining experience at David’s Kitchen"

Review by: Rick M | Source: Trip Advisor
"My husband and I read the reviews on TripAdvisor and made a reservation at Davids. What a great experience. We met David upon entering the restaurant and welcomed us to his restaurant. He was genuinely engaged in conversation and we knew we would be in for a treat that evening. The food was wonderful, started with the salmon salad and spicy fish salad and both had fish dishes. The restaurant had a great ambiance with an upscale but not stuffy feel. What was really impressive besides having a dinner that was more than just good food, but a great experience was that David sent a follow up email the next day thanking us for dining at his restaurant and wishing us well on our next location on our trip. When does the owner ever send a follow up email?! Bravo, David! We loved the experience and already recommend your restaurant to a friend that is visiting chiang mai soon."

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Fantastic views"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Member | Source: Trip Advisor
"Have just spent 2 nights at the lodge. Exceptional stay. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I am a strange visitor to Asia who cannot eat the food! It was no problem for the kitchen to arrange something I could eat - beautifully served and with a smile. My room was very well presented with mountain views but the breakfast on the terrace, with magnificent views of sunrise over the snow capped mountain range, could not be bettered. The walk to the main rooms was a little bit of a problem but well worth the effort"

Maison Polanka: "Charming and eclectic with a wonderful staff"

Review by: trk75 | Source: Trip Advisor
Wonderful, charming tiny little hotel in a perfect location between the ruins and the main town. We could not have imagined a more perfect place to stay during our visit to Cambodia. The rooms are more like staying in someone's (very nicely decorated) house than being in a commercial hotel, and the food and service were excellent. On the last night of our stay our room had a minor problem with the air conditioning, and the hotel moved us to a nicer room without us even asking so that the problem would be cleanly resolved when we returned from dinner. There are bikes available to ride, you can walk from the hotel to an e-bike rental place, and they also provided free transport to nearby restaurants when possible or you could pay $2 for a Tuk tuk. Highly recommended.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Stunning location & venue"

Review by: Rob P | Source: Trip Advisor
"We visited the Sanak retreat as the final leg of our Bali honeymoon. The views are stunning. The cabins are simple but have everything you need. The service & food are both excellent. We loved the place. Only thing that spoilt it a bit for us was the weather but as you can see from pics, when the sun is shining it's glorious. Highly recommended for a really relaxing few days."

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Neuer Stern am Himmel von Yangon"

Review by: Juergen L | Source: Trip Advisor
Die offizielle Eröffnung des neuen Restaurants ist am 27. Februar. Wir konnten an einem Pre-Testing Essen vorab teilnehmen. Ein absolutes Juwel was Lage, Einrichtung und Qualität des Menus betrifft. Dies wird ein neues absolutes Spitzenrestaurant in Mayanmar, auch nach internationalem Standard. Unbedingt einen Besuch einplanen. Felix Episser und sein Team setzen damit ihre bisherige Erfolgsgeschichte fort. Hervorragende Qualität der Speisen, eine ausgezeichnete Weinauswahl steht bereit und der Service sehr freundlich und effizient.

Villa Song Saigon: "The best hotel in Saigon"

Review by: Nicola P | Source: Trip Advisor
"Our stay was wonderful, this is a truly beautiful hotel with great views of the river. The restaurant and food was terrific and most importantly the staff are extremely fantastic and also extremely helpful. In particular the managers were always great with helping out with referrals or last minute tours. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Truly worth the back breaking journey"

Review by: ranjanapte | Source: Trip Advisor
"We travelled from Pelling to Glenburn and the journey to put it mildly is HORRENDOUS. ""Roads""""do not exist and one can feel the bumps in every corner of your body. The last 45mins to an hour is equally bad but the place more than makes up for the travel hazard. Faye and Will (the outgoing Managers) take great care of your every need and the service is extremely personalized. One is not rushed into doing anything, whether it be food timings or day trips. Ranjan Chhetri the local manager is gracious and feeds you with anecdotes of the surroundings.We stayed at the Rose Suite which is well appointed and has ALL creature comforts besides truly living up to its name!!! We ere also lucky to meet up with the estate manager Mr Hussain. He regaled us with stories of the region where he has spent more than 26yrs. The common dining area is a good meeting point fro all the guests but one also has an option to dine in your room with silver service. A must visit again place. Excellent collection of books and magazines to read. No television in the room is a great boon. Kindly try and do something about the road to and from the property."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Beautiful resort and great hospitality"

Review by: bgseah | Source: Trip Advisor
My family of 3 stayed at Rice and Zen over the Christmas. Michael is a great host. Breakfast on the patio overlooking the rice fields and the mountains in the backdrop was a great way to start the day. The dining recommendations from Michael and nearby sights were spot on!
