Reverie Siam: "A special spot"
One of those rare places where the photos don't do it justice and you have to go there to experience the beauty. So much care has been taken in the architecture, interior, landscaping and staff to create a unique environment. The hotel perfectly compliments the most picturesque setting. We are already planning to return.Tugu Lombok: "I found a place I want to get married"
"My first stay at Tugu-Lombok and it was remarkable. The ground was very beautiful with its own private beach. I stayed for 4 night, travelling solo, and I had a blast. I had a driver and travel guide to take me around South Lombok beaches, gilis (further south, not the crowded 3 gilis off Senggigi), and water fall which I booked separately. So, I didn't experience the overpriced excursions from the hotel. However, my stay had everything I expected and beyond. The service and staff were awesome. They would go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. My room is in one of the Kampong Villas, in the corner, away from the main area. It has outdoor (private) bathroom, which was nice, however, you'll have to deal with mosquitoes and humidity whenever you went to the bathroom. I brought my own mosquitos spray, fortunately. The hotel is secluded from everything else. So, its restaurant was the only one nearby. I had dinner twice. The food was really good, but so pricey. One night I had dinner on the beach, and for that I needed to reserve my place a day before. But since I was out and about the whole day, I usually stopped by at local food places (traditional Lombok cuisine) and brought them to my room for dinner (and sometimes breakfast). And 2 swimming pools with have more than 25 m in length ! Yes! This triathlete was very grateful for that. I swam laps daily at 5 am, before the sunrise. The pool near the restaurants was never crowded. However, the other pool was hardly had anyone in it except me during my stay. The only regret I had during my stay was it was too short. I'll definitely be back."Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A haven to rest up and be awestruck by the sunrise"
This is a great place to stay if you dontvwant to be in Lakeside. It's takes a while to get up there but when you do it's a haven of tranquility. The grounds are beautifully kept and the rooms eco friendly. You can be woken up in time to watch the sunrise over the Annapurna range which we did 3 days running with the view improving each time. Awesome place to have breakfast! I was suffering with a damaged back. Marcus, Jhalek and the team looked after us with a nice blend of low key care and concern and practical advice. The food is a clever blend of local and international . They have a good hotline to the local clinic. The longer you stay the more the place gets into your bones. I'm so glad I spent an entire day doing nothing just relaxing the only time on the trip. We would recommend Tiger Mountain to all our friends.Chakrabongse Villas: "Great ambience…amazing place..magic gardens"
"We were invited to a private function at this amazing place on the river...you could see Wat Aron opposite...we are familiar with the area..but the view on the terrace..at 7 pm..sipping champagne..was as close to heaven I was going to experience..the stars, and sights of the is beautiful city of Bangkok. This must be the absolute wedding venue..the gardens, the flowers , the trees made it heavenly.. We had wonderful food...indoors and outdoors...the crab curry was so delicious I had three helpings...my husband said that I should have had also the chicken...the deserts were so good...and normally I am not a desert person..it was a delight Dinner setting..it felt as if for royality..."Tugu Lombok: "A slice of tropical paradise"
"In a 3-week adventure around Bali and Lombok, the Tugu Lombok was our absolute favourite place that we stayed, hands down. The resort is stunning, the grounds are impeccable, the rooms are extraordinarily beautiful. The beach is white sand and turquoise waters. Every meal we ate (in both restaurants) was absolutely delicious. The breakfast spread is fantastic (with a particularly amazing fruit plate) and the assortment of snorkelling equipment, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards is a great way to pass afternoons on the water. Things are laid out so that you never feel crowded. But by far the best thing about Tugu Lombok is the staff. Everyone, from Sharon, the GM, and Henry, her right hand man, to the spectacular restaurant staff, spa team, housekeeping staff, and security, were the epitome of hospitality. The staff are professional, knowledgeable, and polite, and everything they do is heartfelt and done with a smile. They anticipated our every need before we even expressed them and made us feel enormously welcome during our entire stay. We can't recommend this spot enough to anyone travelling to Lombok (and even if you're not, you might want to change your plans to include the Tugu). One small note on rooms - we had read through previous TripAdvisor reviews and decided to take the overwhelmingly consistent advice to splurge on a Bhagavat Gita suite and we were completely blown away by the beauty and design of these extraordinary villas. "Reverie Siam: "Great Hospitality hotel in Pai"
"I have been travelling over 50 countries over 300 cities and this is one of my favor hotel that i high recommended all travel to stay here if u want a happy morning start with a full breakfast (great great bf) and received a great service from the people who works there and my experience is just great and prefect stay during my trip in Sept, first Pai is a very beautiful place for relaxes and hang out together with friends and u get lot of small town feeling from the warm hospitality team in Reverie Siam Resort. The owner of the hotel is a very smart and nice gay he have time to talk to customers and he is very nice people to care the customers well. I received so many caring from him and his team to help me travel around Pai as a Solo traveler and i don't have a scooter drive experience , the hotel help me a lot to drop me some place for my convenience, i really appreciate for there exacted care of course that make me to return and stay again after i check out 3 days after i check in again.

"沒想過在台灣也可以有這麼靜謐的享受! 在villa裡就能享受室內、室外兩種溫泉。此外也可以在湖畔邊發呆、釣魚或是沈靜在牡丹書房裡。 Stayed June 2016, traveled with family"The River Resort: "Luxury retreat on the Mekong river."
Lovely peaceful resort style hotel. The location is right on the banks of the Mekong with most rooms looking directly across the river. The rooms are very spacious, clean and very well laid out. The restaurant caters to both western and local cuisines with lots of choices, all very good. The spa is good although our massages were not consistent. There are two nice pools to choose between. The staff were exceptional. The wifi was also good.Sea Dance Resort: "Great value, great service"
"My girlfriend and I stayed at Sea Dance for 5 nights and had a great time. The service here is nothing short of excellent. Since it's a smaller resort, they get to know you by name and quickly learn all of your preferences. We stayed on Koh Samui for 3 weeks at 5 different places (mostly 5 star) and this place had the best service hands down! We loved the restaurant and ate every meal there during our 5 night stay. The fish tacos and all of the Thai food were outstanding. I would also recommend doing the cooking class here. It is a personalized session where you can pick the dishes you learn. We will definitely be making Thai food at home after this class! Overall, I would recommend this place."Maisons Wat Kor: "Refined elegance; tranquil gardens; superb food . . .a charming, homely hotel"
"We spent Christmas Eve at this wonderful hotel. An oasis of calm close to the river. You approach through mature gardens. The colonial style hotel is small but with many areas set aside for reading and relaxing including a lovely pool area Every attention has been paid to detail so decoration is understated but elegant. Christmas Eve meal was a special celebration. The menu was sophisticated. The food five star! Gentle background music was provided by local musicians. There was a short Cambodian traditional dance provided too. This was a special meal but believe that evening meal every night would be superb. Our continental breakfas included home made French bread and jams; home made yogurt and muesli. Options for other styles of breakfast were available. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The Manager and his wife (sorry forgotten their names) also came to chat. The hotel is a tuk tuk ride from the centre of Battambang. It's a pleasant, interesting ride along the river We only stayed one night but I would return and would thoroughly recommend"
