Manda De Laos: "A gem"
We went here as it was close to our hotel and it was pouring with rain. We were not disappointed, the setting was lovely, set around a pond and beautifully lit. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. Well worth a visit.Sanak Retreat Bali: "The Birthday Party of my life"
"I went to Sanak in December 2015 and fail in love with it, so this time I came back with many Friends for the celebration of my 30th Birthday. The welcome reserved by the staff was fantastic! The GM Sebastian is an amazing, professional and friendly warm person who made me feel at ease and relax. The food was sensational all my friends enjoyed it. The wine list is great we finished a couple of labels... My friends commented about the fantastic SPA, the quality of the service is wonderful with nice products and very friendly staff like everywhere else in the hotel. The rooms are pretty with an amazing view on volcanos and rice fields. Spotless! what a birthday! I couldn't have wished for better. I will remember it all my life and my friends too ! Thanks Sebastian and Sanak's team!!! you are remarkable! Stayed April 2017, traveled with friends"Reverie Siam: "Truly memorable stay"
Amazing place, very quiet and peaceful. The garden and hotel grounds are gorgeous. Room is huge and clean. Food is really delicious, great option for breakfast and dinner. Staff is super warm welcome and will sincerely do everything to make your stay truly memorable. They know very well how to provide the best service. Especially thanks to Khun Dee from restaurant. We'll definitely be back.MesaStila: "Wonderful Relaxing Family Vacation"
"My family (wife, toddler and an infant) spent 3 days at MesaStila over the 2015 Chinese New Year. The facilities are wonderful and even with 3 nights stay we did not have enough time to enjoy all the amenities. Our 20 month old daughter loved the opportunity to run free in the grass and splash away in the shallow section of the pool. (...)The staff were very friendly and helpful with all requests. A wonderful time in a wonderful place."Sanak Retreat Bali: "Stunning view, great boutique resort, overpriced restaurant, great villas."
"Sanak retreat is an wonderful butique hotel. Stunningly beautiful situated in the rice field with an amazing view. The style of the hotel is balinese with a touch of the ""shabby chick"". Most of the villas have two floors. The bottom floor is completely dark and private with plants all around and the top floor is full of light, has a splendid view, windows all around and two porches. So make a deal with your kids before you arrive! No one wants the bottom floor! The resort truly appreciates its surroundings and don't play music, which we highly appreciate!! The restaurant have an equally stunning view, the pool is beautiful with sun beds and rice fields. There were almost no mosquitos when we were there, so you could enjoy all of your evening on the porch. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was fresh and great. They do a great childrens massage in the spa. Climate is wonderful up here. Even a bit chilly in the morning! We also had a 3-hour guided tour to the nearby rice fields and a water fall arranged by the hotel. The guide was absolutely great. Spoke good english and we learned so much about Bali. It was one of our best activities on our trip. We also did a jungle trek and canoo trip on a lake also arranged by the hotel. Also recommendable. So are there any downsides of this pearl of a resort? The restaurant prices were the most expensive we encounted in all of Bali and Gili Trawangan. They charge 35.000 rupiah for a Soft drink/ Coca Cola. You really can't go anywhere nearby to eat or shop and they know it. A little bit unsympathetic to exploit this to that degree. We just came from Pemuteran where the beach front restaurant charged 10.000 rupiahs for the same. Prices were generally the double or even more on comparable food items, e.g. Nasi Goreng, Mie Goreng, Mixed skewers... Some travel agencies praise their food. We think it was okay, but not more than that. We ate all our meals here for 3 days. They have a childrens menu, but portions are so small that an 8 year old have to order two dishes to be full, so nothing saved there. A pizza is the size of a side plate. Generally the portions are small. We had no hot water for almost our entire stay. They sure tried to fix it but with no succes for more than 3 minutes. Toilets can't take paper, so you are asked to dispose it in a basket next to the toilet. Urgh! So a few downsides, but I will still recommend this boutique resort to anyone who wants to see the best of Bali. It is beautiful and you will enjoy the view!"Chakrabongse Villas: "Wonderful hotel"
"We stayed one night in this hotel. This hotel is really beautiful. It is authentic and well located in the city. I would definitely recommend it. The room is huge and you have a large terrace. The breakfast is really good and can be served on the terrace as well. The staff speaks a very good English and are very helpful. This hotel would be a bit more expensive than other hotels that we did in Bangkok but it is definitely worth it. We hope to come back in Bangkok and stayed there. Thank you again for the Thailand flag :)"The River Resort: "Asian paradise"
"Exquisitely decorated with comfy beds, spacious bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower Full range of toiletries ,floor to ceiling windows over Mekong Two large pools with excellent restaurant all with great views Eco concious"Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Paradisiac"
A warm and friendly hotel where you feel good, I occupied a room during a couple of days, the room was spacious and comfortable, the gardens were just amazing and the staff was smiling and thoughtful. I warmly recommend The Maisons Wat KorSupanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "great time"
Great staff and great boat. Pretty dishes and nice drinks and food. The only draw back is that it is a bit expensive, especially for extra drinks. But as a single couple, we would go again.. but maybe not with a big group that has different ranges of budgets.Maduzi Hotel: "Fantastic"
It is good to know there is a little oasis right in the centre of Bangkok. A great location right at the intersection of the MRT and BTS so travelling around is made easy. The rooms are large and comfortable, especially the beds that provide the best sleep. The staff are all very friendly and helpful that compliments the design and creative art work throughout. Breakfast is a treat with plenty of choices to please the palette. This will be my number one choice for a hotel in Bangkok going forward.
