Inle Princess Resort: "Très bel Etablissement"

Review by: JLDAUBIGNY | Source: Trip Advisor
Magnifique Etablissement sur le lac Inle... l'arrivée en bateau magique. Le service est impeccable, la chambre très spacieuse avec vue sur le lac était magnifique, confortable voir luxueuse; (normalement nous avions une chambre vue Montagne, mais l'Hôtel n'étant pas complet puisqu'étant en basse saison, nous avons été upgradés en vue sur le lac :-) , ce qui est très commercial.... Le restaurant était excellent avec un personnel aux petits soins (seul bémol: le nuit des pêcheurs braconniers viennent rôder autour de l'hôtel et nous avons été réveillés par une joute entre gardes de sécurité de l'hôtel et braconniers, ce qui nous a fait très peur et nous à empêcher de dormir pour le reste de la nuit)

Flower Island: "Little island of paradise"

Review by: Noemie_Noisette_29 | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed three nights in Flower Island in March 2015. We really enjoyed, the staff was very friendly and committed to make your stay like a being in paradise. The snorkeling experience was amazing, best we had in Palawan! Just few meters from our room, with all equipments available for free at the hotel! Nice breakfast with fresh mango every day! Dinner food could have been better, but ok!

Jing’s Residence: "Grande atmosfera con attenzione alla tradizione"

Review by: PaoloRiccardoCarrara | Source: Trip Advisor
Grande atmosfera e servizi eccellenti in questo che sicuramente può rientrare tra i migliori hotel da me provati in Cina. Quasi una casa-museo magnificamente restaurata con un tocco contemporaneo e con grande attenzione ai dettagli. Servizio ineccepibile sotto tutti gli aspetti. Struttura che fa rimpiangere il fatto d'averla provata solo per una notte. Per soggiorni più lunghi forse consiglierei d'optare per una piccola suite. Senza ombra di dubbio la migliore sistemazione a Pingyao. Ottimo anche il ristorante.

4 rivers: "Best floating paradise"

Review by: Liase78 | Source: trpadvisor.com
We have just left 4 rivers today and were very sad to leave. We had the most amazing time and everything about the experience was excellent. The staff are friendly and cannot do enough for you. The service is excellent. The setting is beautiful and peaceful and all facilities that you would expect on a floating camp are available. The meals offered are that of a 5 star experience, wonderful food, amazing presentation and served professionally. The day trips and guides were also fantastic. Make sure you go on the fire fly boat trip just 20mins and it's free plus you're back in time for dinner. You MUST visit this camp and experience it yourselves.

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."

RACHAMANKHA: "Slice of heaven in Chiang Mai"

Review by: Michishellie | Source: tripadvison.com
"This hotel was absolutely beautiful and a refuge to come home to after a day strolling the busy streets of Chiang Mai. There is always a wonderful aroma of incense around the property...I think it was Sandalwood, but nevertheless was just delicious. The rooms were spacious and the bed was so comfortable, again after a long day. The lounges that surround the property are also delightful and I just wish I had had more time to sit and read and enjoy a drink while enjoying the decor. It is an elegant property, yet not stuffy and very welcoming. "

The Hue House: "Beautiful view and great food"

Review by: Chryssanty R | Source: Trip Advisor

Manukan Island Resort: "Wow"

Review by: Sue H | Source: Trip Advisor
Spent 3 days, 2 nights here. Started with a lovely greeting by very friendly staff. Great room with water views. Large room, good bathroom and nice verandah to sit on and watch the world go by. Try the walk up to sunset point - was cloudy when I went, but still nice. Food in restaurant is nice, dearer than mainland but still cheap compared to home. Good buffet breakfast. Lots of people on the island during the day with locals coming over, but they all leave late afternoon then it's all yours. Very relaxing, peaceful few days. Went on snorkeling trip to nearby islands from here too. Great. Would love to come back here.

The Twelve Hotel: "A confidential charming place to discove"

Review by: dimolesgo | Source: Trip Advisor
Go there with confidence .... then can want them big! Doing so may miss the beauty of the place because everything is enjoyable to watch. This cozy and quiet hotel, with human size, deploys nice rooms and excellent taste: no false notes in decoration, nice furniture, nice touches for guests a warm and professional welcome, vast spaces that invite to relax before and / or after a day in the hectic Bangkok. It feels like home, only better because we have nothing else to do but enjoy! Breakfast is a delight (French pastries, etc.), the cleanliness is impeccable. Athy and Sébastien are good advice, in addition to being charming. Thanks to them, we could do many things with ease: many desires and 2 days with 2 children in this huge city. This peaceful place is very well located, quiet. We easily reached the sights, the BTS and the airport. On foot, there you need to eat, drink, etc ... the hotel tells us properly (explanations, plans, councils). We will return without hesitation, longer this time .. .for other chocolate croissants. A Family Reunion conquered

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Uniquely laid back"

Review by: skittle999 | Source: Trip Advisor
It takes a while to reach this one-off location, but it's worth the 5 hour drive from Phnom Penh. Each tent is extremely well equipped and Anna, our host, is great company. Dont come here if you demand constant wifi or excellent service: the staff are willing and friendly, but are being trained up from scratch, so a spirit of tolerance is essential. Activities are limited and the wildlife largely non existent, but there can be few better places in the world to float on a river pontoon in luxury, whilst enjoying an escape from reality, good food and friendly attention. You can swim in the river, which is surprisingly warm. We each had a 90 minute (expert) massage at an absurdly low price, kayaked through the mangroves, and were led on a three hour tour of the surrounding forests. Happy memories!
