Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Didn’t know what to expect and had a memorable evening"
A relaxed environment, not at all pretentious. You can eat inside or out. This was booked way ahead, which we understand is necessary. Wonderful, imaginative food, served without fuss, but just attentive enough.Hotel Tugu Bali: "Culture and spirit in a Balinese paradise"
I stayed in the Garden suite which has a private pool and open air bathroom, along with a private garden and Koi pond...it was one of the most luxurious and lovely hotel stays of my life! Every detail was carefully crafted for my arrival. It was my birthday the day I arrived, and the staff had prepared a special cake and flower arrangement for me in my room. Not to mention that every night there was a simple yet beautiful Balinese offering of frangipani flowers with woven palm leaves and a poem on my bed. The private pool with swing was so enjoyable after a nice day at the beach, and the bathroom with private spa tub was almost like being in a private spa. The breakfast was delicious, the hotel surroundings itself beautiful and serene. Next door you have the beach and several restaurants and boutiques and massage places, and it is still removed from the craziness of Kuta and Seminyak. Will definitely return!Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Wonderful retreat to experience the peace that is northern Kerala"
"The approach is a bit inauspicious, but once you enter and are greeted by the scented garland, er person who places it over you and then brings a refreshing wash towel followed by coconut water still in the nut, you know you've entered a place that won't leave you wanting. This was my second stay because it provided a perfect respite from the vibrant and fun chaos that goes with visiting India and their cities in particular. The peaceful place that allowed me to relax and unwind before returning home. The Hermitage's layout is charming, with winding foot paths connecting the villas that are surrounded by nature. The bungalows are solid, spacious, comfortable, well furnished, with options for cooling (open windows & ceiling fan or closed windows and just ac). Staff are friendly and helpful, the Arabian Sea is swimable with a wide beach and the pool great as well. The on-site food is pretty good and they'll turn up the heat if you want it that way. And if one wanders off site, on foot or by bike, you'll experience the charm and warmth of the surrounding farming & fishing communities. When visiting India and you want a calm, 'oh this adventure had to end sometime, but let's end on a serene note', Neeleshwar is a wonderful place to unwind and just be. I'll be back again!"Reverie Siam: "Four days in Pay"
Hi I would like to tell you just to book as you will not be disappointed with this hotel. We could of stopped forever in the villa next to the river. The food is excellent and we ate there quite a lot. The only problem I have with my entire stay is that there was not more of a Thai cuisine on the menu. Apart from that absolutely nothing whatsoever to mention. We will be back for a couple of weeks next time. Very helpful staff to.Maison Polanka: "Luxury and pracefulness"
My wife and I visited in March and stayed in the separate room beside the dining and pool area. The service was excellent, as were the facilities. The staff were always helpful and we always felt we were returning to a luxurious retreat every time we came back from a day of temples and walking in the heat. We would happily stay again.Satri House: "Perfection"
"We loved this small hotel only a ten minute walk in to town to reach the start of the night market. It is full of wonderful artefacts and curios and lovely nooks with comfy seating to curl up with a book. The junior suite we occupied was wonderful with a fabulous shower and bath and separate w.c.. The two swimming pools were lovely each with its own character. Sweet and comfy bar available and we thought the restaurant was good although we mostly ate in town. Delicious breakfasts. Charming service. The hotel was very helpful organising reservations in local restaurants too. Could have stayed much longer and definitely will return to this haven if we come back to Laos."Satri House: "Just as elegant as it’s name suggests"
"Satri house is a quiet and beautiful little hideaway. The entire place has a relaxing and calming vibe, which was nice after travelling around three countries beforehand. The staff are all extremely friendly, helpful and lovely people. This was perfect for a short stay during our honeymoon and I'd definitely recommend Satri House to couple's and families alike. Oh and the restaurant is absolutely amazing! Breakfast was to die for! And we had dinner there one night which was just as mouthwatering! Satri House also provides bicycles to use (free of charge) and it's only a quick 3 minute ride into the main part of town. You will not be disappointed :)"Amata Lanna: "BEAUTIFUL JEWEL IN CHIANG MAI"
Small boutique hotel near the old town. Comfortable beds with quality linens. Large bathroom with shower & separate tub. Staff is very friendly & helpful. Breakfast was included. I would definitely stay here again.Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Blue Heaven”“Blue Heaven"
Calm,spacious, ultimate attention to detail. The blue lime washed walls fill your vision. The very high ceilings leave room for generous breeze ways. It is residing in your personal but extravagant fantasy. And it is a very shot walk to Red Garden, the outdoor food hall of your dreams.Reverie Siam: "Top hotel"
Fabulous rooms. Fabulous staff. Great food. Fun town. We stayed 4 nights and couldn't believe our luck. Sumptuous breakfasts fantastic shuttle to town anytime. Nice swimming pool. Beautiful room and bathroom all with scenic views Reverie is almost certainly the besthotel in Pai
