Labyrinth: "Substantial improvement and deserving of a star"

This is our second visit and our 125th starred fine dining restaurant. The innovation of the food, presentation and quantity has improved(you now get an umbrella with the crab!) and it is truly deserving of it's star

Mume: "Similar to Raw"

"Came here for a meal with overseas friends They don't have set meals, only a la carte. And the menu is short. There were 4 of us, and we ordered 80% of the menu. Almost every dish was spectacular - liver brulee, butter with beef fat, oysters, prawn with cheese, beef, fish etc. Service was friendly and excellent Overall similar to RAW , with slightly less hype and fame Will return"

Jing’s Residence: "Magical"

Beautiful hotel. Great food and service and amenities with the exception that there is no television and internet is slow. Property was impeccably restored and the staff is very helpful and courteous.

Arumdalu: "God’s wonderful creation"

Saya sangat puas dengan pelayanan dari arumdalu, ketika sampai saya disambut oleh driver dan dibantu untuk koper saya. Ketika sampai saya disambut oleh minuman selamat datang, untuk villa sangat menakjubkan dimana bentuk bangunan sangat unik dan eco luxury, sangat menakjubkan bahwa arumdalu menanam sayur dan buah yang digunakan untuk menu makanan yang disajikan, ruangan villa yang saya tinggali sangat bagus kolam renangnya dan gazebonya sangat unik, kebersihan villa sangat dijaga, dan fasilitas kamar villa dari ranjang kamar mandi dan lainnya sangat mewah sesuai dengan harganya. Fasilitas dan service sangat baik dan worth it sekali untuk harga villanya. Dan disana saya dijelaskan tentang eco concept arumdalu dimana mereka menjaga sekali alam dan pantainya. Air buangan mandi dan kolam renang mereka recycle dimanfaatkan untuk tanaman yang mereka tanam, panas dari airconnya pun digunakan untuk water heater air untuk mandi, dan juga tidak menggunakan pompa sama sekali sehingga mereka menggunakan gravitasi. Concept mereka sangat amazed buat saya. Dari pengalaman saya menginap di resort setiap negara dan daerah pinggir pantai, tak ada satupun yang memikirkan konsep ini. Untuk makanan restauran sahang so yummy. Makanan yang disajikan sangat unik, yaitu bebek dalam sangkar. Recommended untuk makanan ini, saya juga minum aladine summer night its so refreshing. Disana saya berjalan dipinggir pantai dan sejauh mata saya melihat keindahan dunia dimana saya sering traveling ke pulau dan pantai, pantai arumdalu belitung sangat cantik dan bersih, dengan ombak yang tenang membuat semua kejenuhan akibat bekerja dikota hilang semuanya, relax dan menyatu dengan alam. Tempat ini sangat cocok untuk honeymoon bagi pasangan muda mudi millennials. View di pantai ini sangat indah disaat sunrised. Bagi kalian pasangan muda mudi yang honeymoon dan orang yang ingin relax dan menyatu dengan alam so recommended.

Locavore: "A true culinary delight"

This restaurant features a choice of tasting menus which are probably the very best that I have tasted. We chose the 8 course menu which somehow ended up becoming 20 courses, courtesy of the restaurant. Don't worry, it is true "value for money" but if you are a true foodie - this is the place! I wanted to go back but we decided to try another place which disappointed us as Locavore made a huge impression the day before. Amazing taste sensation.

NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Memorable and fun packed 2 day safari in Wilpattu"

"We had high hopes for the 2 day safari, and were not disappointed! Pila was our naturalist host and he drove the jeep and hosted us throughout the safari. He is a knowledgable and experienced guide, very committed to providing a wonderfully memorable and diverse experience. We saw many varieties of birds, mammals and reptiles, often thanks to Pila's sharp and expert eyes. He was happy to provide as much information as we wanted, and carried a selection of reference books on the jeep to add background information to what we were seeing. The highlight was seeing 2 leopards, one up close and magnificent! But we were also delighted by the mongooses, deer, mugger crocs, jackals, painted storks, eagles, brown fish owl, langurs, monitors, turtles, woolly neck storks, adjutants, kingfishers, bee eaters, and many other stars. Pila also educated us about the flora and especially species unique to the area. We observed other professional park guides greeting Pila with respect and deference and realised we were fortunate to be with one of the best. The campsite was in a very natural setting. We had the impression it was actually within Wilpattu National Park, which isn't the case. It's about 15 minutes drive to the entrance. However there were only short queues and the campsite location was fairly peaceful and very beautiful, with plenty of natural sights and sounds. The cook and team produced delicious and beautifully presented food, and all manner of lovely small touches. Cold towels on arrival and each return from game drives, a small library of reference books, torches, campfire, refreshing King coconut water, warm showers on request, solar powered lights in the tent, gorgeous fresh fruit, 4 course meals with plenty to go around. Our first night was on a full moon night, Poya celebration for Buddhists. It was very special to be served a wonderful moonlit dinner in this amazing setting. The second day we were joined by 2 delightful New Zealanders and their Sri Lankan friend, who were great company on the game drives and during our lovely meals, which also added to the magical and memorable experience.

MesaStila: "I Love This Resort"

"I had a wonderful time at this hidden jem of Indonesia. This Central java's coffee-plantation-turned-resort is so lovely. I just loved every minute I spent there and hated the moment I had to leave the resort. Villa was nicely done in Javanese style, food was good (serving tended to be on a slow side, though - may be suitable for a leisurely resort time?), service was responsive, attentive and nicely done, the place was kept very neat and clean. The place with 22 hectare coffee plantation is something must see. I learned a lot about my favorite drink called coffee here. Thank you for all the service that made my stay wonderful. Keep at it!"

Pindaya Farm House: "A charming farmhouse"

Unlike many popular and expensive hotels in Myanmar with extravagant yet very poor in taste decorations, Pindaya farmhouse stands out with cozy and warm ambience. No TV, no hot shower but that’s ok... it’s more natural that way... It fits exactly for people who look for different tastes when they travel. Farm hosts are not only extremely hospitable, but very good in making meals. We are treated with beautiful breakfast of variety of farm grown fruits & Shan noodle. It’s almost like visiting a friend’s house for a night. It was during high festive season in Myanmar of Lighting Thadingyut festival when I was there. Many people make lanterns out of local Shan paper. Night sky was filled with floating paper lanterns. I can’t express how much I enjoyed staying there for a night. I wished I had more time to stay there a bit longer to do some cycling among those beautiful valleys, canola fields and wine yards. Needless to say how pleasant highland weather was. It was a memorable stay, it was an instant love and joy.

Tugu Bali: "Bali at its best"

"You are surrounded by fabulous art and exquisite architecture and that Balinese attention to every detail... Tugu is pricey but is a worthwhile splurge. The vibe is very colonial era, and the charm is for REAL (but, the wifi works fine too). When we needed proper Balinese formal attire to attend a religious ceremony (Melasti) on the beach, the staff lovingly suited us up in style... Tugu rocks it: Service ✔ Spa✔ Restaurant ✔ Beach ✔ Performances✔ The most beautiful room and bath tub ever✔ This is the real thing folks, this is what you come to Bali for. "

David’s Kitchen: "A Highlight of Our Trip"

Food: Delicious! I ordered an Asian dish (seared tuna with lemon grass) and my friend ordered a European dish (braised meat on potato mash with heavenly gravy), and both were SCRUMMY! We also got the flight of soups -- YUM! The squash soup and the pea soup were especially bright and flavorful -- I say this as someone who usually won't order either on a normal night. The lobster bisque was full of lobster (which is oddly not a given in my experience). David is an expat Brit and a charmer. Lovely man! He stopped by our table throughout the night, extolling stories about the family recipes behind his signature dishes, as well as his own mind-blowing travel experiences. The reservation page is a breeze, and best of all it asks if you'd like transportation to take you to and from the restaurant, which in a click brought a car to our hotel lobby at reservation time and made travel to the restaurant effortless. (We all agree the travel option on the reservation page is brilliant.) We will be back!!
