This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Maybe COMO are the best small hotel brand in their price point, or more generally in when you take vfm into consideration? There'd be quite a few I'd rate above COMO if price wasn't a factor. Thanks for the review 🙂
According to the food prepared for breakfast, the resort cannot be said to be empty, but we cannot see any guests during filming. How could you do that?
Wow looks stunning! Added to my list!
Hi again!! Thank You so much for more of these relaxing and interesting videos!!! (P.S. Come to Italy, sooner or later and I will show You some really nice places too!) 😁
Tidak terkesan mewah tapi bersih dan sangat nyaman berlibur disini
A very impressive resort, but have to admit I prefer the style and intimacy of the Como Uma Ubud. That one is still high on my list as is The Alila Ubud Forest Edge villa where you stayed. Two of my all time favourite hotel reviews! Just wondering…Are the Rosewood hotels and resorts somewhere on your radar in the near future? I’m very curious what your opinion would be of them! Thank you Kevin for another fantastic review 🙏🏼
Thanks
Nice hotel. I loved my time in Phuket and honestly, you should search about The Shore. What nice place. The Seaview pool villa in love is AMAZING
Hey Kevin. I'm a traveller but have mobility issues. Never see reviews with any rating on accessibility. Be great if you consider this in your reviews. Love them!
how do you always get shots of the pools with no one in them?. good job
Marriott Momi Bay in Fiji?
In Bangkok do visit the seasons Pattaya
Wow .. the resort was spotless – the water always clear, no stone or leaf out of place!! It was like you were waking around a show resort. See what you mean about the corridor, but the room also was just spotless! The common areas looked so peaceful & relaxing at night too. Great video 👍👍
Looks horrible and cheap like something out of a IKEA showroom. Cold and lacks real character. You didn’t reduce points for the prison style corridors? Strange scoring in this one.
Excellent video, Kevin, once again. The hotel looks amazing, do you have any feedback or recommendations regarding the area? Is there a town close by, are there restaurants nearby or things to do? How far is the property from Patong? Forward to next video. Thanks again.
Сьемка ночью была великолепна. Закат и восхождение солнца прекрасны!
Did you make it to the Conrad Koh Samui on this trip?
Top notch video, and the background music you picked was excellent.
Started watching after you made your Bali content and I'm good to see another Como property.
One of the best travel channels IMHO. Keep up the great work Kevin. Cheers from AKL, NZL.
Amazing and thoughtful content as always, really loving your channel!
Random comment: I was thinking about the cleanliness of the patterned brick partition when you actually mentioned it 🙂
So heartening to see their Invigorate toiletries again. I've been in love with their shower products since more than 15 years ago. You should try their Maldivian properties too, very well maintained despite their age.
Thank you ✈️
Still wondering what makes this extraordinary, its a dated resort, but oh its very clean and they all are so friendly…. I dont get your quotations. So its better than the FS bangkok 😂. Or the Kimpton Maa-Lai? Who are both sparkling new….Giving the COMO Ubud the maximum? Because the eggs benedict were sooo perfect… Have you been to the Capella Spa in Bangkok, now this is pristine place!
❤❤ always appreciative of your effort Kevin. We travel vicariously through your videos 😂. I *think it’s easy to just throw in a 90 mins footage of everything but it’s so much harder to edit a video into a palatable length that doesn’t feel too overly lengthy & boring yet not skimping on *relatable honest detail for the average travellers. 😘 Note: Perhaps you could also experiment with different BGM (although I understand issue with copyright) for your videos in the future.
I highly suggest to stay in Avani+ at Hua Hin.
Yes you have done justice to the hotel with honest commentary and great visuals . The problem is making up my mind on where to stay. The price on this seems very reasonable too. Looking forward to the Kimpton Kitalay as that was on my wish list for September.🙏👍
You’re such a babe! The Marriott Momi Bay Fiji!
¡Gracias!
I read a review, can't recall if it was on Google reviews or Tripadvisor, that said their room/the hotel is haunted. Your explanation of the echoes in the prison basement/hallway/ sprinkle of horror movie puts that review into context now 😂
Some great shots here Kevin… it’s a real mashup between retro Brutalist style and a modern welcoming feel .. but those corridors? Bizarre and unnecessary.. thanks for another cool journey into style and fashion..🙏
Was sad to see that the beach club has closed. However the beach property they used was absolutely not Como standard. Seemed like they had purchased an old bar or hotel on the beach, but hadn’t renovated or given it that Como magic. So I see why. But having some beach access really ticked the last box on a great hotel. Hope you’re staying at Como Uma Canggu on your next Bali trip!
Great review. Subscribed. Didn’t realize there was no beach. Can you at least walk to one that is nice?
After watching in awe the wonderful video on the Park Hyatt in Vietnam, I’m sorry to say, I couldn’t disagree more regarding this hotel. Take away the colorful furniture and the manicured lawn, the place looks like a prison. And oh my, that room that looked just sad. Nothing about it says luxury. No matter how good the restaurant is, this is primarily a hotel, and it needs some major work.
Love your videos. Do you have plans to visit Fiji? Would be interested in your thoughts on LikuLiku Lagoon resort.
A stunning venue apart from the blood chilling monotonous grey of the corridors, of course. They could have some sort of awning installed for protecting the openings to the balcony facing the scorching sunlight. Thank you!
Can you please try itc royal bengal it's the best itc hotel in india
My fiance and I love your content, we are currently planning our honeymoon in Thailand. Your videos have been a wonderful way to experience the different brands and locations through your eyes and in depth descriptions. I will say with full confidence, we have changed our minds on a few places just based on your videos. Thank you very much for your content! I want to add that you should totally ask for subscribers early in the video, it hurts to see your current number of subs versus your views with how enlightening your content is. People need more of you!
I'm wondering if it is hard to get a true sense of the decor of that room on film. While it's certainly not the supermax penitentiary chic of Aman Tokyo, it doesn't feel like the camera lens loved it.
Great review but i cant find the kimpton samui review from you anymore !!!
Glad to see this hotel on your channel. Stayed here for a night in December and was totally blown away, so much so that the following nigh at the InterContinental felt lame (and it kinda was). It seems like most guests who book a base room here will get a room which is a lot bigger than the one shown on the website. At first i though i was upgraded, but the staff explained that the bases rooms are available in many shapes and sizes. My room was bigger than this, so big that it was a little scary to sleep alone, but had a smaller balcony and no bathtub.
Well, i'm sold!
Staying here next week thanks to this review. Might have been the brekky bacon slab that tipped me. Cheers as always Kevin
I would happily forgo the beach to stay at this resort. The blue tiled bathroom reminds me of a public swimming pool bathroom (but in a good way), the stand out feature of actual trees within the spacious balcony was a lovely touch but THE FOOD blew me away, l could almost taste each dish as you described them and the great photography had me drooling. You did it justice in the video 👍
Really enjoy the content that you put out on a regular basis. Any plans for an Aman or Capella review soon?
This time was perfect- but with longer opening quotations consider leaving them on screen a little longer (perhaps continuing over the initial establishing shots) so that we have a chance to read and process the meaning.
No beach no thanks.
The only thing missing were the twins standing at the end of the hallway by the elevator!
We loved this hotel. We spent 2 nights in Phang Nga room with pool ! it's was just perfect ! Great content by the way ! One more subscriber for your channel !
Having just returned from a very long trip, I've been saying I'd be glad to NOT see the inside of a plane for some time. And then I see this. Thanks a lot Kevin. 😆Agree with your thoughts on the Como brand. A leader in its lane.
