Review by: Tymberlee | Source: Trip Advisor
Slow villas is as splendid, as it's name! We were 4 friends that needed 2 days of rest and relaxation and this was the perfect place. Every time we called reception they were more than happy to help us with any request. The staff are excellent! We ordered deliver, hung out by the pool and stayed in our comfy Slow robes the 2 days. We even had the option of yoga and spa treatments. It is the perfect place to stay at on Gili Air for peace & tranquility. We can't wait to go back!!

Tugu Bali: "A Balinese beauty"

Review by: Nicola180478 | Source: Trip Advisor
From the moment we were collected at the airport our holiday at Hotel Tugu Bali was perfection itself. The hotel and grounds are beautiful, a striking reception and lounge area greet you. When you step outside you are able to stroll through the tranquil and well established grounds full of plants and flowers and listen to the wonderful sounds of the sea and bird song. In addition to this, at every turn you will find a different and beautiful cultural artefact to intrigue you. Our suite, a Rejang suite was just as wonderful, with a sunken bath and spa area, a four poster bed and a wonderful garden and ocean view which provided us with a view of the sunset every evening. There is something magical about the whole place which brings a sense of relaxation and mindfulness. The staff add to the magical moments by their obvious pleasure in ensuring you are well cared for and happy as a guest, the flowers in the room, settings at breakfast and dinner which are personalised and the delicious meals can be eaten anywhere you choose, nothing is too much trouble. A good location adds to the whole experience and a perfect holiday.

Sukoon Houseboat: "Surely this is the best"

Review by: ANTONIOZ | Source: Trip Advisor
"Sukoon means Peace, and this beautiful houseboat stands serene in a quiet part of Dal Lake. Hospitality begins at the jetty, with a transfer on Sukoon's big motor-powered shikara. Furnishings and beds are comfortable, bathrooms have a large tub and a large shower-stall, maintenance and cleanliness are immaculate, service is warm, discreet and highly professional. The sundeck on the roof is perfect for al fesco breakfast and lunch. What more could one want?"

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Pure bliss"

Review by: allison w | Source: Trip Advisor
My husband and I stayed at this lovely resort for 5 days at the end of our travels through Thailand and it was an absolute dream! All of the staff were very helpful, welcoming, and instantly made me feel at home. As we rode on the long tail boat to the resort I could start to feel my stress and worries melt away, which continued throughout our time there. The food was absolutely amazing and there was a huge variety. I don't think they offered the same thing twice in the week we were there. The breakfast buffet was heavenly and the best way to start each day. Although I have traveled somewhat extensively, I have never been so sad to leave a resort. I would go back in a heartbeat and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all.

Review by: Tim Fabian B | Source: Trip Advisor
I can absolutely recommend the Tugu Hotel Lombok! The staff was extremely nice and helpful! The rooms and hotel area is very beautiful! You can book diving and snorkeling trip, have long and nice walks on the beach and they will even organize you a lovely dinner on the beach. Thank you again for everything, I will come back.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Excellent. A must stay while in Bangkok"

Review by: TerryMinuit | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel is small yet feels luxurious. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything you need. The staff were a delight - helpful, informative and friendly. The food at breakfast and at dinner was excellent - delicious, adventurous and beautifully presented. The restaurant and breakfast room are a treasure trove of artefacts. The roof top pool is a wonderful touch with views that give you a very good feel for Bangkok. "

INLE PRINCESS RESORT: "Wow! A magical place to stay"

Review by: heidi g | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This amazing lakeside hotel was my favourite hotel during our trip to Burma. The tranquil arrival by boat set the scene for a wonderful couple of nights stay. Hibiscus flowers decorated the bed and the towels in the bathroom. I loved the outdoor shower and nice to have the loungers to relax on to watch the sun set over the lake. The restaurant had a nice selection of Asian and European dishes and the wine list featured some local wines that were from a vineyard only a few miles away. A magical place to stay "

Misool Eco Resort: "Paradise Found"

Review by: CTtraveler06877 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"After learning of Misool almost four years ago, we had a dream come true when we visited in June 2015. Misool is one of the few places on earth where the natural world has largely been untouched by man and is now being protected from any further degradation. It is as close as any of us can come to paradise above and below water. It is worth every minute of the long journey to reach it. This resort is primarily focused on diving because of the unmatched marine diversity in the Raja Ampat islands. But there is excellent snorkeling on the house reef (which is very accessible and teaming with fish) as well as at sites very close by. We were very fortunate to have Bram as our dive master on all dives. He listened carefully and did an excellent job on finding the pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, crabs, giant clams and a wide variety of fish we hoped to see. He was always patient and always very helpful. We were very fortunate to have dived with only the two of us on every dive. In addition, we had to opportunities to snorkel with Herry, Ferry and Daddy in the house reef and other reefs nearby with our non-diver family member and other guests. Each was an excellent guide always attuned to our requests. Among the many positives to this resort is the quality of the Dive Center staff which helped our stay exceed our expectations for our dives and snorkeling excursions. (...) We are very honored to have visited Misool and will always carry great memories of the location and the staff. We hope that we can return to Misool again. It is paradise and is the most peaceful place that we have ever visited."

Maison Polanka: "“Excellent – best service Experienced in SE Asia”"

Review by: admiral b | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed three nights at maison polanka. We have lived 12 years in Thailand where the people are hospitable. However, the service we encountered at maidon polanka is unlike anything we have experienced. It feels like a home away from home. No detail is lacking and the fact that the hotel staff remember your name is notable. For those wishing a unique, Beautiful and u forgettable Experience to compliment your visit here, than maison polanka is a must!
