Guest Reviews

Inle Princess Resort: "Prime Position"

A beautiful place in an idyllic setting. Spacious chalet with outside deck whetjr one has Lake View or Pond View (slightly less expensive. Excellent breakfast and very good dinner. Binoculars and bird book a very nice touch. No tv anywhere. Wi-fi not available in guest rooms, only in reeption and dining area (although we had good wiifi in our chalet number 102. Approach is by motor boat from town about 30 minutes away althogh last 500 yards is by leg rower so there is little noise disturbance. Consider your return to Heho airport by car all the way (omitting the 30-minute boat ride and loading and unloading luggage) which save about half an hour on the journey. The final touch -- it was my wife's birthday on the dy we left and sh had a sing and a cake from the staff at 0630 in th morning and a beautiful silk skirt as a present from the owner himself who seems sincere about greening Burma and providing social benefits to his employees and the local community.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Relaxing, privacy, surrounded by nature and friendly staff"

"Great villa, with everything you possibly need! Cannot say anything bad about this location (except from the fact that their price for the boat to go to Bali is way too expensive - go to the harbour and negotiate the price over there!) I love the fact that they use environmentally friendly products! Definitely want to come back!!"

Tugu Lombok: "Over any expectations – just a dream place!"

"We have spent the greatest six days at Tugu Lombok in the end of May/beginning of June 2016 to celebrate our wedding at Sire Beach. Already before being there, we could feel the warm and personalized service of the team of Tugu Lombok, which helped us to organize the complete wedding arrangements ahead, including legal steps. There was nothing we could not have asked for. Thanks Evi and Hanny for showing so much affort and passion in helping us celebrating the best day of our life! Once we finally arrived at our wedding location, we were stunned by the unique setting of this great hotel. No matter where you look, each corner has its own charme and atmosphere. All staff is very attentive and service oriented. From the first day on, they knew our names (all of them). Evi and Hanny (the resort manager) showed us again the planned rundown for our wedding day and we could finalize final details, such as exact location of the altar. The hotel itself let you calm down and relax right away. We have stayed two nights at the Aloon Aloon Villa and got then an upgrade to the villa with the pool towards the ocean, called Bhagavat Gita Oceanfront Suites. Both options are great. The bathroom can be compared with a spa as it is so spacious. The villas itself are very huge and provide a lot of privacy. In general you feel very private at TUGU and can spend the day without seeing lots of people. The wedding day itself was stunning and words cannot express what a great day it has been for us. Even in our dreams we could not have expected such a great setting, service and atmosphere. The day started with a relaxed, easy going photo shooting by a team of eight photo and video grapher from D Graphity. The team was doing a amazing job above what we ordered and paid them for. We have received great photos and an even better video. A huge thank you for that once again! After lunch, the make up and hair of the bride got done and also here the external hair and make up artist did an excellent job. After getting ready further photos got taken and then the ceremony took place at 5:00p.m, at the beach. The walkway for the bride was full of Frangipiani flowers. The dinner was chosen by as in form of a private lobster BBQ on the beach with hundreds of candles surrounding our table and a bonfire next to us. The food was great as well. All in all - Everything worked out perfectly and we could not have thought of a more relaxed and better way to start our future together! We spontanously decided to extend our stay for additional two nights and did a full day private snorkeling trip to the Gilis with the dragon boat instead of staying there. The snorkeling trip can be also definitely recommended! We are looking forward to come back in future!"

Satri House: "Chic, vraiment très chic"

"Tout ne respire que tranquillité, classe ! Tout est à sa place ! Tout est de bon goût ! Seul petit problème : le bruit. Même si l'hôtel est un havre de paix, autour il y a la ville qui vie, les coqs qui chantent, les chiens qui aboient. Mais il semble que cela soit un problème à la plupart des hôtels de la ville (charmante d'ailleurs)"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A few days to chill"

"Well... I could say I hated the place... to keep u all away... so I can keep it all to myself.... I just loved it... So historic, original, wonderful staff, huge rooms all fully restored in modern luxury and the whole place with old/antique furniture... I was in my element... elegant, traditional. Fantastic food, ( the dining room ceiling looks ridiculous) but the rest is just gorgeous... It is the middle of downtown GT (George Town), lots of transport options, and walking to discover the rest of GT is easy... The staff are wonderful... I just loved it I would not take kids there... destroy the atmosphere.... but I am sure kids would be welcome.... if necessary A very, very special place... If u are into history and love the old... you will, like I love the place... do go....."

Labyrinth: "Unique dishes and nice décor"

The dishes were a unique blend (and play) of local cuisine with out-of-box ideas. The squid and saffron bak chor mee was delightful, and the tiger prawn risotto was amazing. Would love to be back again

Sukoon Houseboat: "Best Houseboat Experience"

The place is extremely peaceful Lives upto the name sukoon = peace The food is exceptional and staff is very helpful. The service is better than five star hotels. The upper deck is great for experiencing the calm Dal lake. This is my second stay here... And totally recommend it.

Mathis Retreat: "Small, classy, boutique hotel with very lovely staff"

"My husband and 20 month year old have just returned from a lovely relaxing stay at Mathis retreat. We chose to be picked up and dropped back at the airport by the Mathis team as this meant our little one could travel in a baby seat (we didn't lug one all the way to Bali). The staff were very friendly and the hotel was great - I don't think the pictures of the bungalows on this site do justice to the decor of the rooms - they were very large and tastefully decorated. The bath was so large that all three of us could fit. Karine helped coordinate a few activities from the hotel- one day we went on a hike through the jungle, lunch with locals and a stop at a more friendly monkey park (Sangeh). Another time we went to Lake Bratten and looked at the wonderful rice terraces at Jatiluwih and tasted the local coffee overlooking other lakes. Karine also organised, on our behalf, a cycling tour of the local rice paddies and villages and ensured their was a baby sized helmet provided. The huge advantage of organising all of our activities through the hotel meant that we could use the hotel's baby seat. We ate at the restaurant (Terracotta) numerous times - breakfast is amazing - overlooking the rice paddies. Dinner was also beautiful - lights in the rice paddies and lanterns floating on the pool with delicious food. So good, we ended up doing a cooking course at the hotel for lunch one day. The staff were wonderful, very helpful with our little one and friendly. Nothing seemed to be a problem. The pool has a large shallow section that is suitable for little ones and the hotel's duck's were also very popular with our child and others' children. Another tip: There is a great path through the rice paddies and small village streets from the hotel into Ubud - certainly worth doing the walk early one morning so you can catch the Udud local food markets. Room Tip: The bungalows by the pool were great as the baby monitor was in range. We were in the pool relaxing..."

Supanniga Eating Room: "This is a review of the Supanniga main location on Sathorn 10"

"Supanniga Group has several restaurants over Bangkok and, somehow, all seem to merge (at least as the TripAdvisor is concerned) into one location at Sukhumvit 55. This is unfortunate, since all have their distinct personality. In particular, the main location on Sathorn 10, is a more interesting version of Supanniga and diners are unnecessarily diverted to the Sukhumvit branch. Try Sathorn Soi 10 and you'll not be disappointed. Traditional Thai cuisine at its best served at a very pleasant location in a well hidden but easily accessible small soi near the Chong Nonsi BTS. Food is superb, try it if you want to taste the real Thai food. Also, for tourists/short time visitors, this should be your chance to see Thailand from inside. Avoid the glitter of the main avenues, go deep into side sois and you'll discover an entirely different, and more authentic Thailand."

Tugu Lombok: "Paradise!"

We stayed here for 6 nights in December and had the best time of our lives. This place is amazing! The hotel and it's grounds are so beautiful. We stayed in one of the Amempang rooms and it was so luxurious and absolutely huge. I've never been anywhere like this before- it's absolute paradise. The staff are exceptional and all so happy, friendly, welcoming and eager to go the extra mile for you. My boyfriend proposed to me while we were here, and because he'd let them know what he was planning they set us up a private dinner in one of the beds on the beach and had it all decorated for us. When we went back to our room they had decorated that for us too! They had made animal arrangements out of the towels, lit candles in the bathroom and filled up the bath with water and flowers. They made our whole stay so special I can't thank them enough. We are coming back for our honeymoon!
