Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"
"This is one of my favorite places in the world. As soon as you wade ashore off the long tail boat that drops you off you know your somewhere special. It's a wonderful escape from work, city living and the world. There's nothing to do here but relax. A 10km long beach with pretty much no one on it and beautiful water. Small islands and mangrove swamps to explore by kayak. Beautiful beach homes to kick back in. The option of yoga in the morning and massage any time of day. Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"The Island Lodge: "Fabulous quiet paradise"
"We absolutely loved this hotel. It is a quiet luxurious break from the hustle and bustle of other Vietnam locations. We spent three nights there and didn't want to leave. It is a small boutique hotel, which provides fabulous service by friendly and professional staff. As it is rainy season, the hotel was very quiet and the staff outnumbered the guests by far. The facilities are fabulous. The gardens, pool area, bar and restaurant are lovely. The food is delicious and breakfast as much as you can eat. The spa is very nice and I spent a couple of hours being pampered. The owners, Michel and Francoise, greeted us on arrival and made a point of saying goodbye when we left, all adding to the feeling of personalised service and luxury. This hotel is a bit more expensive than others we have stayed in in Vietnam, but very reasonable compared to European prices. It is worth every penny. It was a small parcel of peacefulness in an otherwise hectic schedule. I'll definitely be back if I'm back in Vietnam."Le Calao: "Fabulous!"
Visited on our last night in Luang Prabang and it was the best meal we had there. It was a cold night so we had to wrap up but we had a table with fabulous views over the river. The food and service were superb. Just wish we had discovered it on our first night then we could have visited again!Babe: "Market Malaysia"
Amazing experience. Incredible food, presentation and service. The creativity was out of this world. An experience that everyone should experience.GLENBURN TEA ESTATE: "Magical Space"
"At the end of a long, bumpy ride from Bagdogra you arrive at a beautiful tea plantation set on a hill with day and night views in all directions. Will, Faye and the rest of the staff could not be more accommodating. From a wakeup tea or coffee in your room to three wonderful meals a day it is a special place. The staff will take you on a tour of the tea plantation and villages, hiking to the river, tours to Darjeeling - you name it. You are met at the airport and returned after your stay. We stayed three nights which was minimal to take it all in. Guides tell us that after the monsoon season the place is green and the mountains in full view. "Tugu Bali: "Can do in Canggu"
We had a great stay in Canggu. Hotel Tugu staff were friendly helpful and could not do enough for my wife and I. The surf was at our doorstep, there was massage, yoga nearby, great dining so there was something for everyone in my family.Rahai’i Pangun: "4 day / 3 night orang utan Boat trip"
"The boat was absoletly comfortable, the crew was very friendly, the guide very helpful and the food on board great. Go for 3d/2 night trip if you are in hurry and for a 4d/3night trip if you want to excplore everthing at a very leisure pace."Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A very special place"
It's not often that I come across a place like Tiger Mountain which has such a rich history, character and genuine warmth. The staff led by Marcus is first class - almost all of them have been with the lodge from the start (nearly 20 years) so there is a sense of real family and connection. A colleague of mine who has lived in Kathmandu for the past 20 years recommended this gem to me and i can see why. Escaping the chaos of Kathmandu to the quiet hills and being surrounded by beauty, clean air and the option of relaxed strolls through the local village or an afternoon reading a book with tea while facing the mountains - it was perfect! But most of the all, the people made it special. Thank you Marcus and team for making my stay so memorable and for connecting me to such lovely and interesting guests - like Carol below whose birthday i celebrated on my first night there. I will be back very soon.Mathis Retreat: "Holiday"
A really Fantastic Place for couples! Its quiet and very very Romantic. A Pool placed in the Ricefields and Bungalows with a countryside view. The Bungalows Are high Standard and the Stuff is Well trained. Ubud was the nicest Place on our Trip. Deffenetly coming back to this Great Boutique Hotel!Rachamankha: "Top notch"
"Was hesitant at first to stay there as the competition was strong from resort chains; i dont regret it at all! Rooms were furnished very well, amenities in the room were great, staff were friendly, the bed is a bit hard, but after i mentioned it to the reception, it was fixed. It was a superb experience as no kids are there, the pool was big and clean, you get your peace of mind. Landscaping was a highlight as theuly utilised nature to their benefit. Its located in the middle of the city and close to almost all locations you want to visit in Chiang Mai. We booked the hotel driver who was a perfect tour guide and took us around. The food menu for breakfast was not extensive, nevertheless, you can tell that the quality of the food was great and the presentation was even better. Highly recommend the place if youre going to relax and have a break from life in general, well done Rachamanka"
