Hotels, Restaurants and Golf Courses Around the World

Hotels, Restaurants and Golf Courses

I love traveling to new parts of the world and look forward to staying at hotels/guest houses, eating exotic foods and playing challenging golf courses. Whenever I have an upcoming vacation or business trip I have three main things on my mind:
  1. Where am I going to sleep?
  2. Where am I going to eat?
  3. Where am I going to golf?
Real Thai Food

Finding this critical information in one place can be a daunting task. I usually have to search the internet for hours and check out many different sites to get this information and then I can never be 100% certain that I'm getting accurate and up to date information. As the internet has grown it's become more and more difficult to decipher which reviews are sponsored and who you can really trust.

SleepEatGolf Will Help Avoid Disappointment

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to big, well known websites and made plans based on user reviews only to find out that the information posted isn't accurate or is outdated. In some parts of the world, particularly Asia, things can change very fast with little to no warning even in this age of instant information. I've made plans to stay at hotels that get rave reviews only to find that the pictures I was looking at online were touched up and reviews were completely inaccurate, likely paid. It was the same with restaurants and many sites providing information to places that aren't even in business any longer. Golf courses that showed pictures of immaculate greens and wide, lush fairways turned out to be burned out treks of dead grass, unkempt and run down links.

I started SleepEatGolf so that others won't have to go through these disappointing experiences on their vacations or business trips. You're likely on a tight schedule and want to get the most out of your time away. Sites with a few paragraphs of a person's experience are helpful, but I wanted a community where I can get more in depth information from real people. SleepEatGolf is going to provide you with up to date and accurate information from our staff and actual users. Some information you can expect to find at our site will include:
  • Restaurant menus
  • Maps with actual locations
  • Untouched pictures
  • Little known spots where locals go
  • Updated contact information
  • Interviews with the people in charge
  • Video clips
  • In depth, honest reviews (good and bad)

Asia and the Rest of the World

SleepEatGolf is going to focus first on the South East Asia region. This area is growing fast and rapidly developing. Many countries are focusing on tourism and getting quality information on this part of the world can be a challenge. Countries like the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and others are becoming more and more popular tourist and business destinations. Thailand recently became the #1 tourist destination in the world and this part of the world is full of world class hotels, restaurants and golf courses that you haven't heard about. We intend to change that and help relieve the apprehension and mystery of South East Asia that you may have. As we grow and build our community more and more countries and cities all over the world will be added. 

We look forward to you interacting with fellow travelers within the community to share your experiences, tips and knowledge. With your help SleepEatGolf will fast become the go to destination for all your hotel, restaurant and golfing needs.
