Supanniga Home: "A sanctuary in rural setting"

Review by: manatch | Source: Trip Advisor
Suppanniga Home is a private estate which has been converted to a bed and breakfast in a rural setting in Khon Kaen. It is a lovely little place with beautiful landscape and you will experience a slow and relaxing life of Isan. The room is comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast is cooked to order and delivered to your villa. The staff are friendly but I must say not most efficient. There is room for improvement in service. Among many amenities in the room, I appreciated an in-room Nespresso machine. You can have a nice Thai lunch ordered to your room or served in outdoor dining area. The hotel is a bit pricey but it is worth a try.

Villa Mathis: "Truly Memorable!"

Review by: Sherinna S | Source: tripadvisor.com
We stayed a total of 4 nights and proved to be the most romantic and relaxing getaway. The GM Chris and his staff was very warm and attentive to our every needs. We especially enjoyed our romantic dinner under the stars, complete with a Balinese massage and a flower bath. The resort is beautifully laid out and decorated, like a magical oasis. The location from Semanyak was perfect so that you could visit the bustling shopping area and restaurants in less than 30 minutes from the quiet surroundings of the resort. I would highly recommend Villa Mathis to any couple (and even families) for an ideal getaway to beautiful Bali.

Labyrinth: "A pleasant surprise!!"

Review by: Eric W | Source: Trip Advisor
"We went to Restaurant Labyrinth before a concert. Restaurant Labyrinth is located in an understated corner inside the Esplanade in Singapore. Chef LG Han used his creative juices to re-create many of the Singaporean dishes and delicacies... The results were phoenomenal!! From chicken rice dumpling to book chor mee to his chilli crab... Each dish was very well thought out and delicious. I would, however, suggest diners to go try the ""original"" versions before heading to Restaurant Labyrinth. That way, you will truly appreciate what LG Han's creativity and his originality. "

Rak Ko Jae Seoul: "Perfect last 2 nights in Seoul at this hidden gem"

Review by: SandilaEkaputri | Source: Trip dvisor
"I stumbled upon RakKoJae as I was searching for unique experiences in Seoul. Sure enough, staying at RakKoJae was one of the highlights of my first trip to South Korea. I thought spending my last 2 nights here before I fly home would wrap up my travel great, and it did. Now where do I begin? The hanok guesthouse - Simply beautiful, tasteful, and serene. First night I stayed in Master bedroom, second night in Far bedroom. I love both rooms. But beyond the rooms, RakKoJae really gives you a wholesome experience. You aren’t staying in rooms. You are staying in a beautiful hanok house The experience - The natural jade flooring is awesome. It gives you the cool relaxing feel, especially in spring/summer season. The hinoki wooden bathtub is also great. The Korean breakfast is one you have to try in the morning (it’s really good). You could also try on hanbok during breakfast time. Fun to wear it, take photos, with hanok environment as Instagram-worthy-background. Don’t forget to try out the yellow mud sauna. I stayed for about 30 mins, sweating but feeling anxious at the same time. It was really soothing that I almost fell asleep! The staff - Mr. Kim, the General Manager, was really attentive and helpful since the beginning of reservation, during my stay, until bidding me farewell as I leave RakKoJae for the airport. Thank you for your kindness and your hospitality On my last night, it was drizzling in Seoul. Relaxing on RakKoJae’s patio, reading a book, and enjoying the house’s evening view? Couldn’t ask for a better experience. I shall return one day and try Patio Room next time :)"

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Indulged myself"

Review by: Allaround1 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Travelling solo and arriving jet-lagged in Saigon, I wanted to indulge myself in a little luxury before my onward journey. Villa Song lived up to my expectations. I really enjoyed my Writer's Room - all dark wood, sparsely decorated but tasteful with a charming balcony. I slept so well that I have considered smuggling the bed back home with me! The staff were extraordinary...very helpful for this first time traveller to Vietnam. I enjoyed my a la carte breakfasts by the river, especially the fact that they were served all day. Just right for jet-lagged, lazy, old me. I have really enjoyed my three - night stay at the Villa Song. To be recommended, especially if you need a little peace and quiet, in elegant surroundings from the whirlwind that is Ho Chi Minh City. "

Misool Eco Resort: "Misool Eco Resort is unforgettable"

Review by: Utatagaku | Source: Trip Advisor
This is the third year I go to Misool Eco Resort and each year brings me so many surprises that makes me submit my bookings next year. You can not imagine that Three or four sharks will be hanging out in the waterfront of my cottage saying hello to me every day. And they are growing bigger and healthier each year. In the past two years I did snorkelling and it was not till this year I do diving. OMG wow what a wonderful and diverse sea life you can find here. Mantas, barracudas, nudi, Pygmy seahorse,all sorts of clownfishes, anemone shrimps, colourful soft corals that makes you thrilled and dizzy in every single dive. Thanks to my dive guide Agus who led me see those cutie species and their team Benny, Bram and James that adds so much fun in our dive. I also need to thank Sabine for her Wonderful choices of dive destinations and her attentiveness to details. My gratitude also to Banne who gives such nice massages to me and my husband.And last of all for Mark and Sue for the great sunset beach tour and helping me out for my rescheduling of my booking. This is a dream and loving place looking forward to see you all again.

Tugu Bali: "Absolutely wonderful"

Review by: BKfromBK | Source: Trip Advisor
"An unforgettable stay. The staff is warm, friendly, beyond accommodating and truly gracious. The property is gorgeous — beginning with the stunning lobby that will make your jaw drop the moment you enter. Historic Balinese details are strewn throughout the decor, and the room we stayed in had the feel of a colonial-era suite. Comfortable and modern amenities (the bed is top notch!). The food was fantastic — our breakfasts, in particular, were always the perfect way to start the day. The area itself is a surfer community, so it's a little livelier (and younger) than other parts of Bali that we visited. The beach is nice, though not exactly low-key and relaxing (if you're a surfer, it'll be right up your alley). Some very nice restaurants, bars and boutiques within walking distance. Overall, we loved our time here. We can't say enough about the service and the friendliness of the staff/management. They took care of us in every way and we will most certainly be back the next time we're in Bali."

Cuca: "Is worth the drive…excellent Tapas"

Review by: Chris_depondt | Source: Trip Advisor
"The food and cocktails are excellent ! Totally worth the drive. First we start with the cocktail. They are tasty and pretty to the eyes. The tapas are creative and tasty. We love the Bravas, Black squid ""risotto"". Black squid ""risotto"" is made of finely cut squid instead of rice. It is yummy and it gives a different texture as compared to normal risotto. Bravas - Tempeh with sundried tomato gives a nice taste to the usually blend tempeh. Their garden setting is nice and should the weather permit, it will be nice to dine there. Good service as well !"
