SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Just Sensational !"
"This restaurant would STAND OUT anywhere from its pure white Zen architecture with its giant wall of glass & bamboo roof overlooking the Inya Lake in Yangon its pure perfection. We arrived for dinner and decided to have cocktails outside by the lake filled with water lilies. Perfect Yuzu Sours & fresh blended juices so good you could of drunk them all night, we were so happy and oblivious to time it was just us and the lake.Although happy the restsurant was full but with its spaced tables its just you ! We were offered the choice of seating inside or on the upper terrace which we chose. They offer two set menus of four or five courses plus a la carte. We selected the Lotus menu which offered more seafood/fish options. Presentation was modern and beautifully simplistic with each mouthful an explosion of perfectly balanced flavours. We chose four courses appetizer soup main with a choice on all and desert, we could of added cheese. Its European with a touch of Asian ingredients but the sauces that dot the plate are super and bring out the Asian taste. They offer a very nice wine list and some super wines by the glass. This is One superbly run restaurant, everything has been thought out with impeccable friendly service. Dinner was so good we came back for a late Sunday lunch and was able then to really see how beautiful the setting was. To the Chef & the beautiful Lady owner Thank You xx "Reverie Siam: "Simply the best"
My wife and I drove to pai which was fun and stayed at the reverie for one night and enjoyed it so much we kept extending until we had no choice and had to come home and stayed 4 nights in total. Best hotel I've ever stayed in and can't really find a single negative. Great value and if you watugu malang: "Best hidden gem in Indonesia"
"We're currently living in Jakarta, and sometimes you need a little getaway from the Big Durian. Malang is it - and this is the hotel to stay in. I loved everything about this place. The hotel staff are really friendly - arranging early check in and late check out with no problems and playing with my baby. The rooms are gorgeous, really comfortable beds, huge beautiful bathroom with really nice products, and wood floors (great for a crawling baby). The grounds are like a museum with so many places to walk and explore. The hotel is located in a very walkable location and the hotel staff are helpful with recommendations. The restaurant has the best Indonesian food I've had in Indonesia. They'll modify for vegetarians - try the Nasi Campur. The breakfast that's included is also incredible - you can order off the menu and take from the buffet - all included! The coffee is amazing - we took home 2 bags of beans, very reasonably priced. The afternoon tea that's included offers a wonderful selection of Indonesian snacks to try and great tea and coffee. They include a welcome massage of 15 minutes, and we bought a full massage, which was really high quality and totally worth it - and reasonably priced. "Tugu Lombok: "Perfect"
We were really impressed with this resort. The room was beautiful, with outdoor bathroom and enormous size. Friendly and attentive staff, amazing breakfast, great pool, stunning scenery and grounds. You can have breakfast any time of day - such a brilliant idea! The training of the staff has been brilliant, without exception all of them are very good. People looking after the grounds, restaurant, bar, cleaning, front desk, concierge... all are a credit to the hotel. The beach isn't fabulous, as there's a lot of sea urchins and low tide is really very low exposing coral and rocks, but it was the only negative. Top recommendation.Rachamankha: "Wonderful architecture and good service"
Been there only for dinner as tried to book but room were full. Excellent service in the restaurant. Staff were very attentive but some need to learn more product knowledge. I really like the Thai Chinese mixed with contemporary northern interior design as I already fall in love with this place and promised to visit once again as a hotel guest.Talabgaon Castle: "A pearl tucked in the beautiful Rajasthani countryside"
"Located one and a half hour from Jaipur on the way to Ranthambore or Bundi, Talabgaon Castel is the perfect blend of Rajasthani heritage and culture ! The road to reach is crossing the countryside and villages. I love the thrill of diving deep in the rural India and suddenly reaching this splendid property. It brings you back in the royal times ! The castel has been remarquably renovated and improved by this family of polo players who are passionate about their legacy. I came with some friends and we were welcomed and by two of the brothers who take great care of us all along our stay. The staff is professional and provided an excellent service. They serve authentic Rajasthani food made with the vegetables from the organic garden. The rooms are large, clean, comfortable and beautiful. Chose one with the view on the swimming pool ! I particularly loved the gardens where you can stroll until the organic gardens, the farm the polo field and meet on your way some peacocks and even an emeu ! Perfect place to explore the rural life of India and to relax. They offer a large range of activities in an around the hotel (horse riding, walks, jeep safaris, camel cart ride...). We all wished we had stayed longer ! Thank you to the Talabgaon family for lovely time! Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"Maison Polanka: "Best hotel I’ve stayed at"
My boyfriend and I stayed here for four days and everything - from the food to the service to the rooms - was perfect. The staff works hard to make your experience perfect. The Green Room is beautiful as are the grounds and the pool. I've stayed in several hotels in several countries and this one is by far the best I've stayed at. Every detail is impeccable. The staff also helped us coordinate our tours to the temples and packed picnic breakfasts. Shoutout to our tuk tuk driver Vong - we loved him!Satri House: "A gem of Laos"
My wife picked this hotel. I was very impressed with this choice. It was unbelievably comfortable. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Since we stayed more than a week here, we changed room twice to get different feel. Money was well spent.Locavore: "One of the best restaurants in Bali"
In short, Locavore is one of the best restaurants in Bali and in Indonesia. Just fantastic on every level and it offers some unique dining experiences. It really is a fun and interesting restaurant with a cool atmosphere. The food is delicious and it manages to tickle all your senses and taste buds. The only option here is the tasting menu (5 or 7 dishes) as there is no a la carte menu as far as I know. All the dishes were unique and creative and combined modern cooking with local and traditional cuisines. I think my favourite was the “Let’s call it a ceviche” fish dish and the “Into the sawah” duck egg dish. Both looked so beautiful and tasted terrific. In short, we all very much enjoyed our dinner here. The only thing that disappointed me was a cocktail that I had ordered, because I think it contained too much bitters. I couldn’t finish it. The food and presentation was amazing though. So, I think I’ll be back when they change their menu.Arumdalu: "Great honeymoon and vacation!"
This was our first -and surely not the last- visit to Arumdalu. Private beach was awesome with white sand and great view. Room was very comfortable for couples, no tv means we had the place for ourselves. Strongly recommended for couples who want to refresh themselves. And maybe a good place for a deep thinking too..
