The Cabochon Hotel: "French Indochine Chic"

This hotel is set in an elegant period building down a quiet lane. It has a 1920s period styling with a bit of big game hunter and French colonialism thrown in for good measure. It's not an all-out luxury hotel. It's more an experience hotel, and I had a great experience. IT's like going back in time to a by-gone period which a jarring and interesting juxtaposition from the hustle and bustle happening less than 100m on Sukhumvit. Choose this for a unique boutique experience in central Bangkok.

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "my kwerky home in Bangkok"

Two families one with 5 people and the other with 4 people stayed in the 3 and 2 bed apartments for 3 nights.Definitely the best option for families and the 3 bed apartment had lots of sitting space in. The rooftop pool was long enough for serious lap swimming and very welcome after a hot and muggy day. Unfortunately the hot water system had broken down for the apartments and amazingly we were offered to move into another 3 bed apartment - found later that the owner used this for personal use as an overflow to his own apartment. We were entertaining some other friends the first evening , so had them cover over to us for drinks and we went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner and had our own private dining area.It seemed the restaurant is quite popular with many people from outside coming to eat here. The owner has collected all sorts of objects and paraphernalia which created the "kwerky"decor . The barman made some very good cocktails and his twist on G&T was awesome! It seemed that the whole place was run with only 4 to 5 staff who were jack of all from manning the front, to taking orders in the bar or the restaurant, offering room service and also acting as concierge - our Marigold in Bangkok!

Cuca: "Great food"

We visited Cuca in Jimbaran, after an event at Polperro winery (Red Hill), hosted by the head chef from Cuca. The food at Polperro was amazing and I was really excited to see the restaurant for the first time. I was not disappointed, the textures, presentation and flavours are fantastic and the staff are warm and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed, it's dimly lit and moody, but if you have a preference for more light, you can always sit at the bar over the kitchen and watch the precision of the team. The outside seating area is in a garden, complete with water features and lanterns. The grounds are generous. Price wise it's not over the top, I loved everything this place, so much so, I have booked again for tomorrow night!!

Reverie Siam Pai: "Impeccable service with Kind thoughts from Management"

"The location is situated with quiet surrounding beside the river with a brilliant idea to have a pouch with lots of cushions to rest and wild away your time. The rooms are very clean and concept is cleverly designed with lots of space. Bed is high up and very comfortable get to the town, there are shuttle buggies service so convenient for guests. Breakfast is very good except its should have more varieties like local food instead of western menu.Staffs have provided impeccable service and knows what you want most of the time and always ready to provide a service. But the most most impressive and remarkable intiative that the hotel have provided is their kind thoughts and consideration for the the guests. I have a very unfortunate bike accident coming up to Pai with my wife and this is the first time I do this and unfamiliar with the poor condition of the dangerous and 762 curves. The first thing I checked in at this hotel, the staff at reception asked me whether i need to go to the hospital and will provide transport anytime to my convenienences. My wife and me were so miserable as our holidays was ruined by my stupidity act of this accident and left us unable to ride and go to place of interests. Our low morals is lightened up when the hotel reception staff told us that the Management is willing to provide us a one day tour of places of interest that we wish to go. Such kind thoughts from the management have sincerely touch of heart and we are so lucky in this way that we have no regrets chose to stay in this hotel. My Wife and I wishes the Management and all staff good health and prosperity."

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Super Boutique Hotel"

"We stayed four nights in the Art Suite as a family of four with two younger children over looking the Saigon River - Yaeger and his staff were attentive without being intrusive, always on hand to offer help and suggestions. Villa Song is located in the less hectic District 2 of Saigon and 15/20mins taxi and boat ride into District 1 - most attractions are in District 1 but the enclave of District 2 is also interesting with shops and restaurants (catering to the expat community of the area). We did a Saigon Hotpot city tour (highly recommended) and Saigon Street Eats Seafood Tour amongst other major Saigon attractions. Breakfast was sensational with choice of western and Vietnamese by the water and under umbrellas. Do try their Pho Bo and in luxury settings. Didn't eat dinner there but the chef is amazing and menu looks legit. Front desk staff aim to please service even went out of the way with personal help for a out of normal request - exceptional service. "

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "A thousand stars"

"My family (me hubby 7 year old) just had the most amazing experience with Noel and Cecile and all the staff. The campsite was clean. Beautifully eco friendly and in a perfect setting. Our tent (we went luxury) was so comfortable I wish we could have spent so many more days there. The important thing is the way that Noel and his Drivers are knowledgeable and care so much for the environment. Unlike other cowboy jeep safaris. Their jeeps are quiet. They don't race around to chase the animals. They know what to look for. We had some amazing sightings. But it is nature so no expectations! The evenings were spent swapping tales with others. Our daughter loved the whole experience. Food was incredible Would love to go back! "

Maison Polanka: "Best hotel of our trip!"

"Maison Polanka is an incredible place. On our first evening there, we had a glass of bubbles as we watched the sky slowly turn to dusk and listened to the birds, the cicadas and the nearby monks singing -- total perfection. It was such a treat to be taken care of so well and in such a stunningly beautiful environment. We stayed for five nights in the Khmer house, which was great. Plenty of space, nice amenities, and kept nice and cool by the fans and AC. The staff worked with my husband to plan a fantastic birthday dinner for me, setting up a romantic private dining experience surrounded by candles and even ordering in a special birthday cake. We would recommend Maison Polanka to any traveler who is looking to experience Cambodia in serenity and luxury and in the care of a wonderful staff. Our biggest thanks to Cathy, Julie, Cune, Tuy La, Kong, Da, Som, Osa, Chan, Rithy, Seam, Sam, Sopharin, Thy, Sarin, Sopha, and the rest of the amazing team behind the scenes that make it such a special place."

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Принцесса Араканского царства"

"Из Ситтве, до которого надо лететь на самолёте воспользуйтесь либо предложением отеля : доехать на лодке с включёнными напитками и едой либо наймите скоростную моторную лодку, так как сьэкономите часа 3 . Приплыв в Мраук-У - столицу древнего Араканского царства Вы не пожалеете в любом случае о потраченном времени на дорогу. Древность, этническая самобытность и красота этих мест потрясает. За такими впечатлениями люди гоняются по всему миру!!! А остановиться нужно без сомнения в MRAUK OO PRINCESS Resort. Почему ? Этот отель, несмотря на его роскошь, не сделает Вас ,,белыми колонизатором"", отделив Ваш мир от внешнего , а гостеприимно погрузит в волшебную атмосферу Араканского царства. Хотела бы вернуться сюда ещё Stayed March 2017, traveled with family"

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.

Jing’s Residence: "Deserved No. 1 spot on Tripadvisor"

"If you are visiting Pingyao I really can't imagine there is a better place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights. The location is excellent, just 1 minute walk from the main intersection so you're close enough to the hustle and bustle but not right in it. It was really nice being able to easily get back to the residence to freshen up and relax before heading out again (you kind of need to do that in Pingyao). Stepping through the inconspicuous wooden doors you literally step in to a little oasis that you wouldn't know is there. The staff are exceptionally attentive and well trained; There are only 10 or so suites so it's quiet, spacious and very comfortable. Of course the house and rooms were perfectly clean and we had two great nights sleep in large, clean, comfortable beds. I visited with a friend but I would love to return with my family someday. It also helps that Pingyao itself is an amazing place to visit. "
