Villa Mathis: "Excellent time at Villa Mathis"

My wife and i stayed at La Villa Mathis in Bali and this was one of the best experiences we ever had, not only due to the beauty of the place (it was paradise on earth) but the way the stuff did everything they could in their power to makes us feel home. The prime examples was the great help they provided me to plan for my wife's birthday and they even allowed us to stay longer after the check out time so that we do not stress for our late flight with access non-only to our room but also all the facilities they had on site until before our flight. The highlight of the place were the amenities (different luxuries pools and salons where you can hang out as well as Jacuzzi and massage rooms) but the service with a smile was above and beyond what we ever experienced in any other luxury hotels/villas. A big thanks to the lady at the front who helped us plan every single day of our stay and to the excellent management provided by Frank with the help of his staff.We will definitely come back soon.

Rachamankha: "THE BEST HOTEL IN CHIANG MAI, DO NOT CONSIDER ANYWHERE ELSE!"

"My wife and I stayed here in May for our honeymoon, it was beyond perfection! the hotel and grounds are beautiful, it is a 5 min ride from the main market and literally a stones throw away from a temple, weekend market but located just outside the hustle and bustle allowing you to relax without the noise from the outside world. (...) The staff and Hotel Manager (Paul Walker) are what really make your stay here magical, when they found out it was our honeymoon Paul and his team went out of there way to look after us and i would like to personally thank you all for being so kind If you stay anywhere in Ching Mai please make this your first choice as i have stayed in many Hotels abroad and in Thailand but non compare to Rachamankha, When we re-visit we will not hesitate in booking here again "

Locavore: "Amazing Culinary Experience"

Your taste buds will be surprised and delighted with every bite and you'll feast your eyes on truly beautiful pieces of culinary art. Highly recommend for adventurous foodies. Be sure to book several weeks if not months in advance to be sure to secure a spot!

Muang La Lodge: "A piece of heaven in the middle of nowhere"

"After a rough first week of travelling and very cold weather, we were thrilled to spend a couple of nights here. Gorgeous room, with HEATERS and hot water bottles, tastefully decorated, lovely bathrooms, with home grown bathsalts. The setting is delightful, on the river, and the infinity pool on its own island was a good place to unwind with a book when the sun comes out. All the little hidey holes have access to drinks and snacks and service is never far away. The spa itself, with the two huge hot spring-fed pools are elevated so you have a view of the surrounding countryside and are a panacea for weary limbs, and the massage sets you up for the next part of the journey! The five course dinner is light and carefully crafted, full of flavour, and the cocktails inventive and yummy. Little braziers kept us warm while we ate, and a large boma-type fireplace was comforting for an aperitif. We had a long walk on our free day round the local Khamu village, and enjoyed seeing village life at a slow pace, the pace it is lived. Excursions can be arranged to nearby hill tribes, but we didn't know about that. Even though the local staff dont speak much English it is good to see the management trying to give back other local community by providing jobs and an enhanced local spa for the village. I can't rate this place highly enough "

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Wonderful Oasis"

The Cabochon is a small, charming colonial style oasis in Bangkok with very friendly and good service. It seems to attract a diverse range of well mannered travellers (mostly couples) and is well placed. Our family enjoyed every minute of it and will be back.

Mie Cafe: "Amazing dinner in Cambodia-Siem Reap"

Excellent Chef! What a great and wonderful surprise! I strongly recommend! The food was superb and the service is top. Best dinner in Cambodia! It would be a successful restaurant in Europe!

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"

"This is Thailand's best kept secret. Charming and secluded and really really well run by Massi, the hotel manager. We were in heaven and are dreaming about our next visit. No tvs, no air conditioning, running water that smells a little due to minerals, but none of it matters when you are at the golden Buddha because you are drawn into a Robison Crusoe fantasy that you seldom find anywhere these days. Lots of nature and very little to do except enjoy the surroundings. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Maison Polanka: "Just the best!"

We stayed here for 3 nights. The grounds, the staff, the rooms, the attention to detail, everything is perfect. Off the main drag of Siem Reap is this oasis of a hotel. You enter through the sliding gate to see a beautiful garden and staff waiting to meet you. As you walk along the path with a staff member you see the open air dining area, the pool and the few buildings that house your perfect room. Don't miss Maison Polanka

Maison Polanka: "Beautiful Haven in September"

"Over the years I have stayed at many 5 star hotels and resorts and unexpectedly this was by for my most enjoyable experience. Upon arrival the airport I was warmly welcomed by management staff and driver and after a short drive to the resort was overwhelmed by the lovely grounds and secure compound that the Maison Polanka is set in. My stay was booked for 5 nights with the 'Yellow Room Package' (highly recommended) and included 4 Dinners, Massages, Temple tours with one of Angkor's finest guides and my own personal Tuk-Tuk driver. This represented excellent value! The Yellow Room was perfect for me and much larger than it appeared in the photos I had seen. The room itself had a fantastic Khmer rustic charm with the modern conveniences that us Western travellers expect. The huge bathroom was separated from the main room by a small staircase. Excellent design! My biggest surprise of my stay here was the absolutely awesome dining. The traditional Khmer cook was amazing!!! Unbelievably fresh and authentic Khmer cuisine kept me dining here every night... Maison Polanka is a very special place and I would like to thank ALL the staff, guides and drivers for a brilliant Angkor experience. I will definitely return to this awesome haven!"

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing relaxing resort"

"We stayed here for five nights and I would gladly have stayed longer. The resort itself is well spaced out and feels very private even when almost full to capacity. The rooms are excellent and well tended to by room service. All the staff are friendly and helpful especially the manager of the restaurant and Elly (I hope I have that right) who I think was a general manager. They were all very helpful and went out of their way to make sure that we were happy with everything. The food was always great and well presented. I would recommend dining on the beach at least once as it was lovely. The house reef was we'll worth a snorkel and the pool was lovely and quiet. This was a perfect start to our holiday and the perfect place to recover from hectic lives and jet lag! My only minor gripe would be that sometimes the music at the restaurant could be a little too energetic, especially in the mornings. Only once or twice from the five days. Overall this hotel was just what we wanted and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a quite place to escape for a few days!"
