MesaStila: "Unique and absolutely magical place"

Review by: desertnomad68 | Source: Trip Advisor
This place is very special, a collection of beautifully resorted traditional Java buildings, set in magnificent grounds, with the focal point being a grand, old Dutch plantation house. The staff are wonderfully welcoming and attend to your every need - you are truly pampered here. Meals were an absolute delight, all made with fresh, organic and locally-sourced ingredients. Our room was huge, beautiful and full of character - especially the amazing mosaic bathtub that could easily have fit three people! You will leave feeling blissfully calm and pampered. Very highly recommended and many thanks for a wonderful stay!

Good service & nice food. I think the portion of the food can reduce a bit, too much for us Would love to recommend it to my friends.

Tugu Lombok: "secluded paradise"

Review by: h532001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 7 nights at Hotel Tugu in an Aloon-Aloon villa. The place is wonderful. White sandy beach, spacious grounds and excellent food. This is not a large hotel by the nimber of rooms but the ""rooms"" are all quiet, spaced out dwellings. The aloon-aloon villas have their own small private garden but it was not needed the ground were so large you coud sit anywhere and be undisturbed. There were beds on the beach for quiet relaxation antd the sea was warm and shallow so very safe. The hotel is quite out of the way, about 2 hours from the airport, but once you get there there is no need to leave. Everything is qeitly understated. The rooms are decorated with local art and there are artifacts everwhere that seemed like they ought to be in a museum. Don't expect a trouser press and an airconditioned restaurant. You eat outside in a thatched roofed dining hall, just stunning. The atmosphere is so relaxing, no need to dress for dinner, just wash off the sunscreen and add a little insect repellant (probably not needed) and enjoy youselves. This is a special hotel but not if you want nightlife."

Tugu Lombok: "A truly original gem"

Review by: Nick B | Source: Trip Advsor
"The resort is set on a beautiful and quiet peninsula of Lombok, with a great private beach. Everywhere you look there are antiques, artefacts and ancient buildings which have been restored to former glory - like something we've never seen before! The villas are very spacious and having a personal carp pond is a really unique addition. We have the fondest memories of Tugu from the incredible setting, to the warm service and not mention the impressive towel art skills :) "

Tugu Malang: "Fijn"

Review by: Anneline N | Source: Trip Advisor
"Het is een groot hotel. Een groot deel wordt enkel gebruikt bij feestjes/evenementen. Leuk en mooi om eens door te lopen. Het hotel heeft een zwembad om even kort af te koelen. Geen zwembad om heel de dag aan te liggen. Eten is er prima. Zeer uitgebreide keuze menu's voor het ontbijt! Stayed March 2017, traveled solo"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Otherworldly"

Review by: alygibson | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel has been covered extensively, and for good reason. We stayed for four nights during our honeymoon, and even though we stayed at truly luxurious hotels, 4 Rivers was a real highlight. You take a boat about 25 minutes to floating wooden platforms with about 15 tents set up. The rooms are well appointed (nothing special), but you're there for the surroundings. Our bodies got accustomed to waking up with the sun and going to sleep when it got dark. We enjoyed taking the sunset cruise at the end of the day, and exploring the mangroves in kayaks. The staff, especially Rambo and Bono, are delightful. It was here that we fell in love with Cambodia. My only complaint is that food was bad (not authentic). Stayed December 2016, traveled as a couple"

The Island Lodge: "Perfect"

Review by: Jean E | Source: Trip Advisor
"We loved the Island Lodge. The resort is beautiful and serene, particularly after experiencing the bustle of HCMC. Our room was spacious with a generous balcony overlooking the pool and the river beyond. Great pool with plenty of loungers, shaded and unshaded. Attentive and efficient staff. The owner made a point to personally welcome us and was on hand to say good-bye. We highly recommend the spa- the herbal massage was possibly the best we'd ever had. We enjoyed our meals in the restaurant and thought the prices were reasonable. The only negative aspect of our stay is that it wasn't long enough. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song Saigon: "Charming hotel in a stunning location"

"Pure peace and tranquility next the Saigon River, absolutely stunning place which exceeded all our expectations. Beautiful, colonial style rooms with stunning views, fabulous food all served with the Vietnamese hospitality. We felt wonderfully pampered and spoiled. "

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Easter holida"

Review by: CamDav18 | Source: Trip Advisor
Our stay at the Golden Buddha Resort was magnificent, truly magical. We knew getting there was going to be a bit of a trek, but it was really worth it. The location by the sea is great, the beach was vast and empty, each tree-house beautifully furnished and our son liked it too (the pool table, the pizzas at the beach-bar and wifi at the clubhouse especially) It's a place to enjoy nature, where you can reflect, breathe and simply live. With a few added bits of luxury the resort had the perfect balance for us. We stayed at Baan Marina which was beautiful, spent most of our days at the resort (close to the beach bar) and the club house in the evening, playing pool, cards or reading after food. The staff were ever so friendly, Massi and Pena were the perfect hosts. If we would recommend anything, it would be good to offer a few alternative dishes in the evening for kids although saying that we thought the chef was really excellent. Breakfast was a treat too! Thanks to everyone at Golden Buddha for the lovely memories, we loved it!

MesaStila: "Relaxing getaway"

Review by: rnsrnsrns | Source: Trip Advisor
Beautiful place just like the photos. The rooms are nice, clean, in the middle of nature. There are a lot of activities to do in house from coffee plantation tour to yoga in the morning. The staffs are nice and made the experience exceptional, especially our coffee tour guide.What can be improved is perhaps food; it is not that it sucks but rather for such a nice resort we expected more. Wine by the glass at the restaurant wasn't great either and overall wine prices / corkage price are high. However I think the overall experience is great. Very relaxing. Would come back.
