Satri House: "Ooh, this Indochine feeling"

"Wanna feel like a character in an Indochine film-noir? Stay at the Satri House in Luang Prabang and you will likely grow into it! Or just stay there because the place is more than perfect. Very atmospheric rooms: nothing beats this early morning light coming into the room through these shutter doors. Dwell around those steps and shady arcades and gaze at all these decorating items - where did they get all those beautiful things from? Two swimming pools, very friendly, professional and helpful staff, beautiful garden, great restaurant - what else do you need? LP is on walking distance, but you can take a hotel bike too."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Paradise within paradise!"

"My 2-night stay at Slow Villas has been EXCEPTIONAL. I was looking to unwind and relax in Gili Air and I couldn't think of a better place to do just that. First of all, I love that it's eco-friendly! From bio-septic tanks to reusable water bottles, they are clear advocates of our environment. The Villas itself is very well-maintained. They provide just the right amount of of comfort and luxury. Every concept of the villas is centered around the guests comfort. The bed is huge and I love that it faces the pool-- perfect for lazy mornings. Our one-bedroom villa is HUGE, which even includes a garden. Although I'm not the type to sunbathe, it was nice to have it to ourselves. The pool is definitely amazing. It's not really a private villa without your private pool, is it. The service is great-- refillable water, fruits in your villa, breakfast at your own privacy, wifi, and a cable tv. They even add a little touch by providing a USB with movies just incase the cable is down. Simply amazing. Everything is top notch! Location wise, it's definitely on the isolated corner of the island, but it's perfect for couples like us who were were looking for pure tranquility. They truly lived up to their name. The instant I entered Slow, it was as if time froze and the rest of the world drifted away! Thank you Slow for a phenomenal experience!"

MesaStila: "Flavour of true and sweet Indonesia"

High level place, perfectly managed, top level food, wonderful garden and atmosphere, a rare sample of kindness from all the staff. All the forniture of the place is really antique. The pool view on the forest is unique.Thank you Mesastila.

Le Calao: "Great place and great wines selection"

Went for dinner; I was impressed with the wines selection they have on the list and the food is amazing; so clean and taste is very good. Surely will be back for the dinner and wine

Satri House: "WONDERFUL STAY AT SATRI HOUSE"

We (9 ladies) stayed at SATRI HOUSE 22 October for 3 nights. What an amazing tranquil place to stay. I cannot fault the service,the rooms, the breakfast or the staff. It was decorated with so many antiquities that everyday you discovered something new. It has 2 pools and lounge rooms that are devine. The Spa there was fantastic - had to use everyday. If you ever need some beauty and peace this is the place to stay - a very short walk or tuk tuk into town - a few minutes. I need to take my husband there to unwind. It really was a special place...would highly recommend!

Maduzi Hotel: "A hidden gem of a hotel in Bangkok"

Wow! This is the second time we've stayed at the Maduzi Hotel on Soi 16 Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok. Our room was spacious, huge larger than king sized COMFORTABLE bed, work area for laptop and fax messages, included (free) non-alcohol beverages and snacks in fridge, plenty of amenities in bathroom, including an unusual jacuzzi tub (2 can fit....). Very close to Asoke SkyTrain elevated train(BTS) and MRT underground subway stations. Close to shopping at Terminal 21 Shopping Center, close to Soi Cowboy for go go bars, and the Argentine Steak House is a 10 minute walk....Outstanding. The cost...you ain't gonna believe it. A tremendous value compared to any of the big name hotels along Sukhumvit Road. Contact the hotel directly on their website - and initiate an e-mail to them to find out what deals are available. OUTSTANDING. (Please: the hotel has CNN in the Lobby, but not in the room - Al Jazzeeria and BBC are in the room) - although there is a Bose radio and dvd player, neither that player or the t.v. had an accessible USB or HDMI port to plug in your content from a laptop or external hard drive or smart phone. This needs to be addressed, but does not distract greatly from this room.

Maduzi Hotel: "An heavenly boutique hotel in the heart of Bangkok"

Hotel Maduzi is a charming heaven just in Bangkok center. The 40 rooms are all having their own charm from standard room to luxurious suites with antiques and a very special touch combing thai and japanese atmosphere. The boutique hotel style service is customized and adapted to the needs and requirements of every customer. Check in can be as early as 06:30 or 07:00 AM if your room is available with no extra charge. A welcome drink of your choice is offered to you including a glass of wine or a beer. Delicious Coffees and Teas are offered to you should you enjoy one with no extra cost. A lovely heaven in Bangkok for the ones who like to be pampered.

Manda De Laos: "A wonderful cultural dining experience"

"We went to this restaurant on the recommendation of our tour guide, with our small group to celebrate her birthday. The ambience was perfect, the food very good and the service couldn't be faulted. A nice added touch was the small desert cake with candle for our guides birthday. The tablets are set around a UNESCO lotus pond."

Misool Eco Resort: "Simply splendid"

Torn as to whether to share info about this place, or keep it a secret. Stayed here in April-2014 with my partner, in water cottage number 5. The location is spectacular and the resort is just lovely. Decent food (excellent wines), high end facilities, and wonderful/friendly staff. It is truly impressive to see what the owners have accomplished here, up to and including the engagement of local stakeholders/residences to make this place part of the local community. Oh, and the diving is truly high-end... Diving is second-best ever, following Sipadan, but all in, this place was a notch above. This, and Auberge du Manoir in Chamonix France, are the only places I/we intend to revisit. Congratulations to the owners, on an impressive undertaking.
