Tugu Bali: "Amazing service"

Review by: Arnaud F | Source: Trip Advisor
"We have chosen this hotel to start our 10 days Bali tour moving from West, to Ubud and ending by Candidasa. Fantastic boutique hotel, wooden construction and local spirit. Everything is warm and easy. In a private garden, you may choose pool house or ""Rejang Suite"" (such as we did). Food and service are just great. Our only one unhappiness was the environment, with a dirty beach (we'be been told that it is normal during this period). But what an amazing sunset !!! Some local shops (cloths and vegan restaurant) are only 15mn by walk or 2-5mn by scooter. We shall definitely return during our next trip. Enjoy "

David’s Kitchen: "The best restaurnt we’ve ever visited"

Review by: Vicky1708 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My husband and I love trying out the local fancy restaurants when on holiday, but fear we might have peaked at David's Kitchen! We still have 2 weeks of our Thailand adventure but doubt anything could better our amazing night this evening. The transport is lovely, private AC transport in a nice car. Extremely warm welcome from the very lovely staff. Lots of personal touches on the table, e.g. our names, an anniversary card - there is so much thought and detail given to each table! The lovely owner, David, is walking around all night chatting to the guests. He does this all 6 nights the restaurant is open, so must love his job!! He has really interesting stories to tell so definitely engage him in conversation :) The menu is amazing, we spent a good 20 minutes deciding what to eat as it all sounded so good! The cocktail menu is extensive and includes a fab mixture of classics and signatures, and are extremely well priced. The food was amazing too and very fast service, but we never felt rushed. Even though we were both so full we had to squeeze in dessert as we were enjoying the food so much! We asked David about his chef and were kindly invited into the kitchen to meet him! We've now got a great picture with David and all the team we'll never forget :) And the icing on the cake was being presented with a beautiful bunch of roses to celebrate our anniversary :) the evening, food and service was absolutely fantastic and perfect. It was one of the best nights of our lives and will certainly not be forgotten! Thank you to David, your lovely wife and chef, and all of the team for a perfect evening."

Rachamankha: "An oasis of tranquilliy"

Review by: NiklasBorg | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Rachamankha hotel is a true gem, an oasis of peace right in the city of Chiang Mai. We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, and it was a perfect stay. The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from the Wat Phra Singh temple, and close to the Sunday Night Market. Taking a taxi from the airport takes only 15 minutes, and the everywhere inside the old center of Chiang Mai is walking distant. The rooms are located inside a courtyard that is secluded from the busy street outside, and it is very quite and peaceful. The staff is incredibly attentive and helpful, and guests are felt welcome from the moment they step inside. The architecture of the hotel is very elegant yet understated, and so are the rooms, which face the inner courtyard. The rooms have ample space, and complimentary amenities include slippers, bathrobe, umbrellas for the rainy days, fruit, and water bottles which are refilled daily. The breakfast is very good, with a buffet of bread, fruit, pastries and cereal, and the choice of items from an a la carte menu such as eggs, omelette, waffles and french toast. The quality of the breakfast and the service at the table is excellent. The swimming pool, located at the back of the hotel is big enough considering the smaller number of rooms, and was never too crowded during our stay. It is possible to also get massages in a building next to the pool, and the prices for poolside drinks are very competitive for Western standards. Overall our stay at Rachamankha was great, and it is hard to find a negative about the hotel. The price is high compared to the average room priced in Chiang Mai, but the quality is more than enough to justify it. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my fiends and family for their future travel plans."

Amata Lanna: "Lovely spot, close enough to the centre but away from the chaos of some other locations"

Review by: LondonRuraltraveller | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a lovely stay at the Amata Lanna with our family (three young children and three adults). The team at the hotel were so helpful with sorting out ideas for visits and incredibly patient with our children. the rooms were lovely and the breakfast was just right. A really great spot.

misool: "An incredible marine experience!"

Review by: Kathy M | Source: tripadvison.com
"Andrew and Marit have accomplished the almost-impossible by building this remote, luxurious resort on an island in Raja Ampat, mostly from driftwood, and without a fresh-water source. It is a dive resort, but we are snorkelers, and were extremely well taken care of by Andrew, Marit, Mark, Sue, Calvin, two wonderful men both named Ali in the restaurant, and also young ""Soo press"", and the lovely masseuses Banne and Reeshna at the spa. We were assigned a private boat driven by the excellent Sam Saul and a private guide, ""Son"" (for Nelson), who took us on very many enlightening snorkelling excursions near the island. We even swam with 3 manta rays at ""Magic Mountain""! We were in paradise! The conservation philosophy of this resort is commendable and inspiring, and we were left with a feeling of hopefulness for the future of this marine habitat. Well done, Andrew and Marit, and staff!

Glenburn Tea Estate: "In the Lap of the Gods"

Review by: Bilaspur | Source: Trip Advisor
"My father used to say that the third cup of tea put you in the lap of the gods. Glenburn epitomizes hospitality, beauty, quiet, rest combined with hosts who are enthusiastic and caring, facilities that are beautiful, food that is delicious and views that are incomparable. Our visit was the beginning of three weeks planned to see numbers of our 'bucket list' of hard to reach, but must see places. Glenburn is one of the top. Yes, the road to get there is a Thrill and an adventure but the deep comfort and sheer beauty soon make one not even think about it. The recent strike, which shut down the estate, made the tour of the processing plant quiet and dust free but still very educational. Would that we could return often. Shabash our Dhanyabhad!"
