Jing’s Residence: "Sublime"

Review by: 358Paul62 | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed in the master suite which was stunning with its 200 year old beams and tastefully designed room. Service from all the staff was excellent especially Imam who couldn't have been more helpful. Meals were also good and the location excellent.

misool: "Paradise!!!"

Review by: LeavesOnlyBubbles | Source: tripadvisor.com
After 8 flight connections and a 4 hour boat ride from the US, this place was just paradise! The passion that these 2 individuals have for this area of the world is evident in their respect and protection of the ecobalance of nature...from the use of only fallen logs for the buildings and furniture to the use of natural bacteria and plant life to filter the water services. The food was wonderful with a local influence and nice variety. The staff were from the surrounding and some far away villages and so very friendly. (...) Our dive guides on our boat, Marafel and Ferry, were so great to hang out with. So fun and friendly, and knowledgeable of the reefs and fishes! They even rescued our camera after we got excited with the mantas on our safety stop. Even though we don't know their names, all the behind the scenes staff were wonderful in making this vacation so relaxing and exciting at the same time! Even if you're not a diver, the house reef is wonderful for snorkeling and the view from the water cottages is breathtaking! We would go back in a heartbeat and I urge you to go and see this piece of paradise for yourself!! Terri F., St Jacob, IL

arumdalu: "a hidden gem filled with surprises!"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: tripadvisor.com
We never expect to find such a refine place at the very southern tip of Belitung island. A very creative and delicate cuisine, sustainable practices to save energy or natural fogging, an attentive service, large villa with private pool, 800m of white sand beach and beautiful landscape. Only recommend to people who appreciate quiet beauty!!!

Tugu Bali: "Paradise in Bali"

Review by: Shadwell2013 | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent the last night here after a three week holiday travelling around Bali. This was a birthday treat and the icing on my cake! It is a very stylish and unqiue hotel full of the most beautiful pieces of Balinese artworks. Our room was on the second floor overlooking koi ponds with the sea in the background. It was a stunning room with a gorgeous sunken bath and a huge fabulously comfortable bed. The staff and service were amazing as was the food. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will certainly come back.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Absolutely Perfect"

Review by: JodieS186 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wonderful hotel, we extended our stay from 2-4 nights. The grounds are beautiful, large swimming pool and set on the ocean accessible by private jetty. The rooms (or suites) were spacious, exceptionally clean, with gorgeous and comfortable 4 poster beds with mosquito nets. The barroom is again spacious, the big surprise was the large adjoining outdoor area with open shower and oversized round rock bathtub. The rooms had adjoining outdoor areas with comfortable chairs and table were you can relax or dine also included a hammock. The staff were wonderful, would bring our meals and drinks to the beachside cabanas or while we were swimming in the pool. Food at the restaurant was good quality and they made excellent coffees. My only suggestion would be some stand up paddle boards or kayaks as the water was so calm it would be perfect. Whilst at the higher end of the hotel market in Kep, price was very reasonable. A place suitable for all travellers, families, couples and friends also solo if your looking for some serenity."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Very helpful staff"

Review by: CarolHolmfirth | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed for 4 nights last month & enjoyed it immensely. The location could not be bettered if you are interested in visiting the old city. We found our room rather small but beautifully presented. Tea & coffee was available on the landing outside the room. Having breakfast overlooking the river was a very memorable experiance. The staff were very helpful in pointing out things to see & sorted out taxis & trips for us. Would definitely stay again but in a suite if one was available.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Fantastic place, lovely staff"

Review by: Ryan G | Source: Trip Advisor
"My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay at Slow. Location: It's a 10-15 min walk from the harbour and all flat. Once there, the west coast beaches are a 5 min walk, with some really great restaurants/bars on the quieter North West on the island. Staff: Always lovely, polite and helpful. They booked everything we needed, transport to and from the island, snorkelling day trips and SUP experiences. Accommodation: Stunning villas, great bed. Enjoyed the outdoor shower/bathroom. No bar or restaurant at Slow, but there are loads all over the island and I am not a fan of spending all day inside your own resort."

Tugu Lombok: "A place to go"

Review by: rossana1973 | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a wonderfull peacefull boutique hotel. We came there by chance after being refused by our already booked sandinpondok in gili t. We spend 5 days in lombok in a front ocean room. You deserve this hotel fir many reason. Lombok is a wonderfull island. And the hotel is organizing many trips to discover the island itself. We went to thecwaterfall but not trough the normal route but taking a different path trought the rice fields. If you like hikimg g this the best way to arrive to the waterfalls. Leave aprt the more tourist way. We went with the boat to gilli island ( make sure you reserve the hotel boat and not the external ones). Gilli are overcroweded and unlessyiu are 20ies and looking for disco and ibiza mood... stay away from them and enjoy gilli under sea by boat. The hotel is simply amazing. Amixture of indonesian styles.. decorated with intersting and lovely taste. Food is excellent. Do not expect a buffet style hotel.. luckly...we have done three massage. Each one of them was professionally made.you can also buy the oils from the spa as well as visiting the antique shop of the hotel. Staff are professionally managed by the general manager. Guest relation is very professional and she will support you in choosing the right program and massage. Do not miss the moon one! Definitely a must where to stay. We loved it.
