Locavore: "Amazing artistic creative food"

Review by: Ron K | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was our fourth visit to Ubud just to again experience the wonders of Locavore. Their cocktails are wonderful, our California chardonnay was mind blowing, yet both faded into the background once we encountered 15 course of gastronomic delight. If you love amazing food and you visit Bali, don't miss the treat of lunch at Locavore, its world class"

Villa Song: "What a Haven – Just Gets Better and Better"

Review by: Vanessa V | Source: Trip Advisor
We returned to this hotel after almost three years and we were happy to find things just as we left them! The hotel continues to be a haven in a very busy city and District 2 is the perfect base. Highlights were the peaceful and delicious breakfasts on the river bank ( special shout out to Duy!) , the stunning swimming pool and stylish rooms in that beautiful colonial style building. Yega, Ms Truc and the rest of front desk team do a brilliant job. So helpful with restaurant bookings, directions, late checkouts etc.The regular speed boat into the middle of the city is very handy. Unfortunately the boat driver at the beginning of our stay (over TET holiday) was not the friendliest especially with our 8 year old who became quite frightened of him. On the last day of our stay there was a lovely smiley new driver who made all the difference. Thanks again to the whole team again !

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Best TRIP EVAAA"

Review by: henryvong3388 | Source: Trip Advisor
I really love this trip to Koh Khong. The hotel is amazing, more than my expectation. They created ways to help to protect the forest. I felt amazed after the trip and told everyone about it. Even though it's expensive, Miss Anna gave us a chance to have 3 days and 2 nights there for free. I can finally be one with nature and it's my first time to visit such an adventurous place that I wanted to be there forever. They helped the community and protected the environment there.

Tugu Bali: "Hotel Tugu- gem"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Member | Source: Trip Advisor
The Hotel Tugu was the best surprise of our two week trip to Bali. From the second we walked into the lobby we were greeted by the most friendly, helpful and beautiful staff. We had just left the Ritz Carlton and already this place was running circles around the staff from the Ritz. It was one beautiful surprise after another. From the room, to the services to the good, proximity to the beach to the furnishings. Hotel Tugu is a gem and not to be missed. The hotel manager is lovely, helpful and has the staff well trained and lovely. Don't miss the Japanese restaurant with a view of the ocean. Cheers to hotel Tugu for making our trip. If you have an appreciation. For aesthetically pleasing things you cannot miss my this. The owner has the biggest collection of Balinese art and artefacts throughout Indonesia.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Quaint Sojourn"

Review by: Afna_Thaj | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I visited this hidden gem along the strip of Arabian Sea with my husband, upon a friend’s recommendation. True to its word, Neeleshwar Hermitage is everything what it claims and beyond! We were marveled at how the property have merged itself into the locality but still takes your breath away. (...) We enjoyed each and every moment spent at Neeleshwar Hermitage. The selection of the songs played in the room is one of the best that I have heard. So are the books in the library. The authentic food served was deliciously prepared. The beach was so clean and pristine that the walk along the coastline was refreshing. If not the beach, one could also spend all their time by the infinity pool. We spent quite a lot of time lounging by the pool, enjoying the beautiful sea beyond. The rooms are spacious and the traditional architecture adds charm to it. The simple yet luxurious room was the icing on the cake for us! We would like to give our special thanks to the wonderful staff of Neeleshwar– each and every one who seamlessly provides the finest service."

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "The best luxury boutique hotel in HCM if not Vietnam"

Review by: Philippe T | Source: tripadvison.com
"I will never forget this amazing experience. This place is an absolutely outstanding place to overnight, have only breakfast or maybe lunch or just diner, anything you chose will be an unforgetable time. The hotel staff is top 5star and the kitchen is even better. The chef and f+b manager is a truly artist of his kind, he is a magician and his food is like a firework in your mouth and spirit... You have to meet Kevin Marchetti, just ask for him you will be pleased to meet him. You will never forget the time you send at Villa Song ! "

Maduzi Hotel: "Splendid experience"

Review by: 89kimiek | Source: Trip Advisor
"I thought that it was really good with a choice of this hotel. This hotel is not big at all, but the room is large, and the size of Bet is too big to sleep alone. And it is the hospitality to be glad above all. A splendid smile of the hotel staff met the calm entrance when I entered. I will stay at this hotel again. Stayed March 2017, traveled solo"

MesaStila: "Perfect place to find peace"

Review by: Louise H | Source: Trip Advisor
"I recently had a solo stay at MesaStila and loved every minute of it. The villas are spread out amongst a coffee plantation so you get a real sense of privacy. The villas are huge and well appointed. Service by all staff members is excellent. The spa and Hammam are amazing. The food is healthy and good. I really couldn't fault any aspect of my stay. Stayed November 2016, traveled solo"

David’s Kitchen: "Delicious!"

Review by: Julie E | Source: Trip Advisor
I joined friends to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed impeccable service and delicious courses from start to finish. From the lovely dining room to the finishing touches on how each dish was presented made for a perfect evening. Favorites included the gazpacho, Tasmanian salmon, Wagu beef cheeks, and duck. We finished with Sticky Toffee Pudding. Yummy!
