Loved this property with a beautiful pool. Wished it had a bar.

Really nice hotel with excellent service.

Great service! Aimee too great care of us. Had really delicious, impromptu dinner for our group of 13. Loved the fire show!

Really nice rooms and property. Had nice facial at spa. Restaurant and bar were nice with great breakfasts. restaurant could not handle our group of 13 guests for dinner very well … even though we had reservation. If you have large group, you might choose differently. That said, the service team was very polite and responsive; there just weren’t enough of them.

Great hotel for last night. Good restaurant options and really nice pool!

nana was amazing!!!

Loved this!!! nana helped me navigate being gluten free!

Enjoyed train market but floating market was too touristy. Would have preferred a different activity given how far away it was.

Loved our time here … and Pong was the perfect host.

Loved this!!! Learned so much from Pong and had authentic trip to a village.

Great day with Hockey!!

LOVED this!!!

Our favorite cooking class ever! Tom was the perfect teacher and really took great care to navigate my dietary restrictions (celiac).

This hotel is very well located. It’s near public transport which made it easy for my husband and I to get around when we arrived the day before the tour started. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating, the included breakfast was delicious, and there is a coffee shop on the lower level. I will say that the pictures are very dated. The hotel is much more worn than the pictures show, the carpet in the room had staining, but it was overall clean enough. The mattress was extremely hard, and my husband had a hard time sleeping. We only stayed in Bangkok for 2 nights and used that as an opportunity to save money on the hotel, so most of the “negatives” were to be expected with a more budget hotel.

The location alone is worth the stay. In walking distance to so many restaurants, smoothie bars, souvenir shops, and spas. The hotel has so much character. The room was spacious, clean, and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only negative was that the AC was putting off a foul odor. We informed staff who tried to fix the issue but I think it wasn’t fixable with us staying in the room. Thankfully, it was cool enough most of the stay that we didn’t need to run the AC.

This hotel is in a more secluded and quiet part of Phuket, which is exactly what my husband and I wanted. The hotel was kind enough to upgrade our room and we had a beautiful ocean view balcony room. The hotel was extremely clean, breakfast was great, and is in walking distance to some other restaurants and spas. We really enjoyed staying here.

This was a very cool experience at first, but once you get to the floating market part of the tour, it’s extremely busy. We got into a boat traffic jam several times. Overall, it’s basically a tourist trap, but still a cool experience nonetheless. As usual, our guide in Bangkok was amazing and even bought us coconut ice cream to try while we were on the boat.

One of our favorite activities. We had our local KimKim guide, as well as a local villager helping us throughout the nature walk. It was so cool to see this side of Thailand, with many amazing waterfalls, and end with a tour of the coffee farm. It wasn’t a difficult hike, and they have walking sticks available for use.

One of the best experiences on our whole trip. This was a must do for my husband and I, and we wanted to make sure we chose an ethical sanctuary that did not promote abuse of the animals. I can’t recommend Elephant Nature Park enough. Although there is no touching or bathing of the elephants, we were able to walk with the group all over the grounds and observe the elephants enjoying their daily life from a safe distance. It was so fun to see each elephants distinct personality. The included lunch was amazing as well.

This is such a beautiful temple. It was an amazing experience and we got to see some really cool rituals as it was New Year’s Eve. Can’t recommend enough. As usual, our guide made everything even better.

This was such a cool experience. We were able to see Bangkok at night and enjoy some amazing Michelin star rated food. Our Bangkok guide ensured we were safe, and even gave us hand sanitizer, etc throughout the experience.

This was such a cool and unique way to tour Chang Mai and all of the various. Our guide made sure we were safe the entire time, helmets were included.

Wonderful Hotel. The free boat up and down the river was an awesome addition. Centrally located with a great breakfast.

Wellness Focused Hotel with great amenities. We worked out in the gym each morning, had a yummy breakfast on the veranda and then headed to the pool or beach. My husband did the paddle board fitness class and I got a massage on the beach. 10/10

Such a great day in the sun! We were able to snorkle both during the day and at night. The beaches were pristine and the water is warm. I typically get seasick, but didn't at all on this tour and the guides had medicine in case. At the end of the tour we saw the most incredible group of bats leaving a cave (I mean thousands) and then snorkled in the dark with bioluminescent plankton. Unforgettable!

Great Tour on our first day. The guide "O" was super informative and gave us a lot of information about the temples.

This was such a cool and authentic day. O, our guide, showed us local food and we tasted the most amazing Thai snacks at the market. The boat ride was relaxing and allowed us to see local thai culture up close.

We got so full on this tour! We had a blast trying out the different street foods and seeing the bustling night life.

Mark was great and we went to the most amazing bars! We went to a few different bars after and they were amazing. The bars Mark picked out were so fun, funky, and had delicious drinks (I even got mocktails and they were so yummy)

Plau did a great job on this tour. We were able to go up the trail at a quick pace and were happy she was leading the way and going at our pace.

The name of this excursion is not representative of what it is. The name says it's a walk but this is a legit hike. We were not properly prepared for what we were doing and therefore didn't have appropriate footwear. There is a lot of downhill walking as well so if someone in the group has any mobility issues - be prepared. The guide was great though and ensured we went slow and took many breaks. She also scores us some really good fresh strawberries and stopped at a coffee plantation to try some local coffee! We were pretty sore the next day but were in the land of inexpensive massages so were able to get some relief!

A bit high end corporate, but executed well. The pool was the best for jet lag -- swimming at dawn with the birds is a great way to start a trip! Layout of the hotel took a couple days to understand because of the multiple buildings, but great quality and service overall.

Possibly my favorite hotel in the world. The colonial feel with the modern updates create a great sense of place. Service, the pool, the breakfast and dinner by the pond were all memorable.

Food was fantastic -- the breakfast was always an event and even a light dinner was special. The modern design was not exactly Chiang Mai, but it was on the other side of the river and away from the traffic. The pool was nice and bedroom was large.

We had a great suite overlooking the lake. A great sense of old time French interiors and a nice roof deck.

The food and the pool were excellent. Breakfast was especially good and the special dinner event was fun.

A great sampling of Laotian cuisine mixed with some modern mixed drinks and emerging restaurant trends.

Interesting glimpse into Laos history and great for any student of culture and Buddhism.

This was out third time taking the vespa ride though Hanoi. Exhilarating and unique look at the city.

The experience of feeding the elephants and then walking through the jungle with them was totally worth it. The road to get there from LP was a disaster though -- slow and painful. Hopefully they can address this in the near future. Just be sure to get picked up on time to get there when the event starts.

The Monk Chat was life changing. We are advanced meditators and were able to get 1:1 time with the head monk for about an hour. The rest of the group went into an intro class in another room. The time and patience KayKay took with us was priceless.

This was the only disappointment of the trip. It was over touristed and the fish were not that interesting. There were so many people on the island that there was barely a bit of sand to sit on before we could go home. A long way to go in a jolting speedboat to end up with 10 other boats filled with people. They need to figure this out before they destroy such a beautiful spot. People and food were great, but they need to ramp back the number of boats allowed at one time.

A bit early to get up, but it was ideal to skip the long lines of tourists. Quiet and beautiful, it was lovely to have a guide to explain everything.

It was great to see all the crafts up close and try our hand at lacquerware. We bought a few small things to remind us of the trip

A bit far outside Chiang Mai at rush hour, but worth it once you get there. A lovely location to get educated about growing the ingredients, Thai food and culture. Cooking was fun and the food was delicious -- they have this one down.

The guided trip through all the historical sites was definitely worth it.

The food was fantastic and served in unique locations.

The insight and journey through the hidden parts of Bangkok was fascinating.

Waterfalls and lunch were epic

Great insider look at the back alleys of Hanoi. It was a great cultural experience and a fascinating walk.

A must do! We had a great day exploring the islands. Our guides made it very fun!

We really enjoyed our Thai massage and soaking in the hot springs.

A must do for a first time traveler to Thailand!

We loved this dinner cruise. Highly recommend for a romantic evening. The food was amazing!

We really enjoyed our time with the elephants. You will get wet if bathing the elephants in the water, but that was part of. the fun!

Amazing food and memorable dinner on the beach with a beautiful sunset. Couldn't have asked for more!

What a beautiful and unique hotel! The service was amazing, the food was beautiful and tasty and the staff so kind and accommodating. I will be recommending this hotel to everyone I know traveling to Siem Reap

This was a lovely and authentic experience as you were invited into the home of a family. The introduction of the culture and the food we made was amazing!
