tugu bali: "Relax in luxury"

"For a long weekend we traveled to Malang and Mt. Bromo. Hotel Tugu was very well maintained, but the superb service from absolutely the best Indonesian staff. All the meals were presented artfully with an excellent balance of spices. We attended the once monthly cultural dinner with a Central Javanese tale told with music and dance. It was a great experience. The couples 4 hour spa and romantic dinner was a great way to relax on our final full day in paradise. Couple you must stay here if you visit Malang! "

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Lovely hotel in every way"

Just had 4 nights at Cheong Fatt Tze. Beautiful hotel - historic, atmospheric - I constantly wanted to take more photos. Our room was large with great attention to historic feel. The breakfasts were lovely - fruit, varied selections of Asian and Western food - gorgeous dining room too. Staff great. A wonderful experience.

David’s Kitchen: "Great Hospitality & Food in a relaxed fun environment"

An absolutely enjoyable experience-just like everyone (nearly 3000 happy customers) who have taken the time to write a review we were very impressed. Well deserved no.1 in Chiang Mai rating - the small things make the difference here, obviously the food is very good but the staff and the training they are given stands out. David was away and the team were still exceptional, we got to personally say thanks to the kitchen staff - nothing was too much trouble and all customers were enjoying their night a this special restaurant. Nice to get a personal email from David the following day to thank us for our visit. Ticks all the box's for us - Well Done DK Team

Chakrabongse Villas: "Stay in a prince’s palace"

This was built in the 19th century by a Thai prince. It's on a busy street and right next to the river. Once you get behind the gates, it's your own private palace. Pool, garden, decks overlooking the river. I think there are only about 9 rooms. It's pricey, but worth it. Our dinner was about a 7-course meal (prix-fixe), each one a delicacy. Took off my shoes at the gate and wandered around the rooms and gardens for all three days we were there.

Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Small family run hotel"

Lovely stop on our travel through Cambodia. Food was excellent and rooms lovely. The pool area was being tidied when we were there so hopefully this is complete now. Loved the deep fried flowers we received with our drinks.

Cuca: "Fabulous"

Best food and staff . Great interior or watch kitchen working and eat . Very professional went three times

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Book this safari experience!"

"Everything about our experience was fabulous. We have stayed in some pretty swanky places on this holiday but the food served to us out of a jungle kitchen was the best. The guys were helpful and really fun to be with. We were lucky enough to see a huge male leopard and lots of other amazing animals. We stayed in the luxury air conditioned tent - my best sleep of the holiday. Everything had been thought of. I can not recommend them more highly. Other companies have tried to copy but failed."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Wonderful hotel"

"We stayed one night in this hotel. This hotel is really beautiful. It is authentic and well located in the city. I would definitely recommend it. The room is huge and you have a large terrace. The breakfast is really good and can be served on the terrace as well. The staff speaks a very good English and are very helpful. This hotel would be a bit more expensive than other hotels that we did in Bangkok but it is definitely worth it. We hope to come back in Bangkok and stayed there. Thank you again for the Thailand flag :)"

Tugu Bali: "The most beautiful hotel in the world"

"I've been so lucky in my life to have stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this is by far my favourite and the most beautiful hotel in the world! The hotel feels so authentic - it's beautifully rustic but still luxurious. The staff are so so friendly, but still very polite and professional - I never once felt as though they were invading my personal space. The food at this hotel is pretty much my benchmark for amazing food - loved every single dish I tried at Tugu. Also loved their relaxed attitude to dining - they would do private dining for us which we could have in the room, on the beach, on the lawn, in the private rooms... pretty much where ever we wanted, it was so lovely. Tugu has so much charm - my husband and I felt totally at home hear and can't wait to go back... someday!"

Locavore: "Outstanding"

"We chose to have the 5 course degustation menu with accompanying cocktails for each course. While we may have had some reservation about having cocktails instead of matching wine, they were a revelation! While we were waiting for our meal to begin we were stunned to be served with SEVEN 'amuse bouche' dishes prior to this. All were outstanding and each was described to us in detail by a member of the staff - sometimes a waitress but often one of the cooks - including the head chef. In a similar vein - the 1 dessert course actually ended up being a 'pre-dessert', main dessert, and then about 3 'post desserts'. All the dishes were of a very high standard with interesting combinations and flavours. The open kitchen allows you to observe the staff preparing the food - all in a seemingly tranquil manner. Service was outstanding and we waddled out after almost 3 hours, overwhelmed by the experience. Even though it is reasonably pricey compared to other restaurants in Bali (~US$150pp including drinks), it is well worth it."
