So I showed you our Fantastic Suite at the WTaipei here. And I raved about restaurant The Kitchen Table here. Now it’s time to show you around outside on the 10th floor of the WTaipei Hotel. We chose to have our breakfasts and dinners al fresco often. Like everywhere in the world where there is […]
More WOW from the wonderful WTaipei Hotel
Yesterday I showed you our Fantastic Suite at the WTaipei Hotel. In today’s post I would like to show you around in the rest of the WTaipei. When you enter the hotel on ground level, you take the elevator to the 10th floor where the actual hotelreception and lobby is. At that level we find the lounge bar, […]
Wow, Wonderful WTaipei Hotel
While in Taipei we stayed in the WTaipei Hotel. It was triple WOW in every aspect! Here you see the WTaipei. It is the skyscraper with the red rectangular section at the bottom of the building. The WTaipei is a luxury hotel. It’s vibe and style are young and trendy, and the design is cool […]
Boutique Hotel Pousada Tauma: the Beach and our review.
Some years back, Neville, the owner of Pousada Tauma, bought a piece of land at the beach and developed that into a private beach plus restaurant. He made the land higher and did some landscaping there as well, and he has more plans for this location. For now, it means that hotel guests can go […]
Boutique Hotel Pousada Tauma: restaurant The Copper Bowl
The hotel has it’s own semi-al-fresco restaurant: the Copper Bowl. Usually only ‘our’ table and one other one were occupied, so it felt almost as our private restaurant. The food was delicious! And Matthew’s service impeccable. Breakfast and one of the other daily meals are included in the roomrates, so we had all our dinners […]
Boutique Hotel Pousada Tauma: latherite, pillars and statues
So on the grounds we find a central pool area, surrounded by villas/suites and a wonderful garden. A koi pond and a lot of flora and fauna. But that’s not all we find. Neville also built structures here and there, using the same local material (latherite stone) and techniques. And….pillars/colums, since he likes them;-). Here […]
Boutique Hotel Pousada Tauma: serene tropical gardens
It was lovely to ly at the pool, especially since we were alone, most of the time. The peace and quiet is very relaxing. The surrounding beauty of it all made me so happy. The sound of the two water sprinklers in the pool is soothing. A simple idea, but very effective;-). Neville, […]
Boutique Hotel Pousada Tauma: paradise in Goa
We went to Goa for a couple of days of relaxation and beach. The hotel we chose was Pousada Tauma in Calangute, a small, exclusive boutique hotel. The ‘faces’ of the hotel are owner Neville and his main staff member Matthew. What Neville (on the right, next to Frits) has built up here is beautiful […]
Mysore’s hotels
I already told you about our disappointing experience at the JP Fortune Palace hotel in Mysore. Before choosing that one, I considered many other hotels. During our weekend in Mysore, we decided to take our lunches and dinners in some of these other hotels to get an impression of them. The Royal Orchid Metropole Hotel looks pretty […]
Our experience at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bengaluru
After -unfortunately only two weeks- Singapore, we flew to Bangalore, India. Or, as the official name goes: Bengaluru. Literally: city of boiled beans. That’s where the word Bengaluru originates from. Frits works at the HP Campus, which is located in Electronic City. An area with IT companies. At least 45 minutes by car from […]
