Villa Mathis: "Married at La Villa Mathis"

I got married here in 2011. We had checked in late as we had to drop our guests off to another hotel they were staying at. However when we checked in, Bruno had actually called in to see how we were and if we had any question or queries to let him know and he'll be in the following day to meet us (my husband & I). This whole place was amazing! We loved the food and also note that this was our first time to Bali as well. Our room was amazing with alot of room and I loved how we entered and the bath tub was filled with flowers. It did get dark at night as our room was at the bottom and when we would come back from excursions, we would have a guard walk us back to our room but after a night or two we were confident to go on our own. The night before our wedding, I had asked if the ladies from our wedding guests could stay the night and the staff organised rooms quickly for them. Our wedding day, Bruno's wife (sorry I forgot your name! lovely lady) had met up with me to see how I was feeling and making sure everything was getting organised as planned. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our first time to Bali and to have our wedding here was amazing! I would be coming back here hopefully on our fifth year anniversary! Sorry for the late post but thank you La Villa Mathis.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Awesome boutique villa"

We had a great time, 4 nights, centrally located, rented bicycles. The villas are very "boutique" and attention given to small details, what we like about staying boutique. Lovely breakfast, nice tranquil atmosphere, coconut trees, private garden and pool. Good security, friendly atmosphere. Most certainly recommend to friends.

Locavore: "Quite a a culinary experience"

Exceeded my expectations. The presentation of each bursting-with-flavour morsel was very creative and enhanced the dining experience.

David’s Kitchen: "Great food and service"

"The whole place is gorgeous and the layout of the restaurant is very elegant. We first found out about this place on trip advisor and decided to check out this award winning restaurant. The food and service did not let us down. The owner David greeted us with his warm welcome on our table and was actually willing to share his journey as well as listen to ours. The servers are also very attentive and helpful. The food and wine were recommended by David. My boyfriend loved his beef cheek and I had black truffle fettuccine with lobster claw, also amazing! Glad to have spent the date night in here, would recommend to anybody who is looking to dine in an elegant place with great service in chiang mai."

Tugu Malang: "Wonderful stay in a slightly eccentric hotel"

"What an experience!! This hotel was perfect, get the best room you can afford - it is so worth it. The hotel is an attraction in its own right, make sure you take the tour to see the VIP suites and function rooms., the bizarre collection of furniture and nick nacks courtesy of the owners. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and all of the trips we took originated from their suggestions and with their help. The piece de resistance is the full day tour to Mt Bromo with waterfall included, organised and accompanied by front desk staff (amazing). Malang itself is a wonderful indonesian city with first rate coffee shops, a great bird market and some lovely streets to walk down. PS(the free afternoon tea is a must)"

Villa Song: "Unbelievably amazing"

"We're on our Honeymoon and just had a two hour spa experience that was simply incredible. It was about $100 for two of us, for the best treatment package we've ever had. Salt scrub, full body massage, then epic multi-phase facial, and we are GLOWING. And totally blown away. Combined with the friendly, super accommodating staff, the lovely room with the gorgeous view, the free water shuttle to downtown, and the lovely grounds, we simply couldn't be happier."

Tugu Lombok: "Wir hatten eine phantastische Zeit!"

"Das Tugu Hotel liegt sehr einsam am Sire Beach auf Lombok. Wir hatten für einen Aufenthalt von 5 Nächten eine Svarga Villa gebucht. Die einzelnen Villas verteilen sich über ein sehr großes Gelände, welches direkten Strandzugang hat. In den Pool-Villas hat man direkten Meerblick. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und das Tugu gehört zu den TOP-Hotels, in denen wir jemals übernachtet haben. Das Servicepersonal ist unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit und man wird in der ganzen Anlage immer mit dem Namen angesprochen (was für mich nach wie vor rätselhaft ist, wie das funktionieren kann :) ) Das Frühstück wird á la Carte serviert, was sicher etwas Zeit in Anspruch nimmt, dafür aber unglaublich lecker und frisch ist. Außerdem hat man keine zeitliche Beschränkung für das Frühstück...also auch frühstücken mittags um 12 geht! Die einzelnen Villas sind alle individuell eingerichtet und man kann überall auf dem Gelände und in der Villa sehr schöne Antiquitäten entdecken. Einziges kleines Manko: beim Abendessen ist man eigentlich auf das Restaurant im Hotel angewiesen, da es in der Umgebung keine Restaurants gibt. Das Essen im hoteleigenen Restaurant ist sehr lecker und die Umgebung ist sehr stilvoll (ehemaliger Fürstenpalast). Wir haben im Hotel auch einen individuellen Ausflug gebucht: Wanderung durch die Reisterrassen und zum Wasserfall. Das war unglaublich schön und perfekt organisiert. Den Transfer hat das hoteleigene Fahrzeug mit Fahrer durchgeführt. Achtung für die Anreise: wenn Sie von Bali kommen, nutzen Sie am Besten das Speedboot, dann sind Sie innerhalb 15 Minuten von der Anlegestelle beim Hotel. Der Flughafen ist sehr weit entfernt (ca. 2 Stunden Autofahrt!). Herzlichen Dank nochmals an das Team und das Management des Tugu Hotels! Wir haben uns wirklich sehr sehr wohl gefühlt!"

Chakrabongse: "Stay in a prince’s palace"

This was built in the 19th century by a Thai prince. It's on a busy street and right next to the river. Once you get behind the gates, it's your own private palace. Pool, garden, decks overlooking the river. I think there are only about 9 rooms. It's pricey, but worth it. Our dinner was about a 7-course meal (prix-fixe), each one a delicacy. Took off my shoes at the gate and wandered around the rooms and gardens for all three days we were there.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Awesome Experience"

Thanks to the whole team at Yala for a great stay & awesome experience. The game drives were fantastic & I'm missing the amazing food already! Well worth it & would highly recommend the experience to anyone else.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Exceptionnal"

Eco hotel, peacefull. You feel the passion of the owners in every corner. Far from excessive touristic part of ubud, relax and enjoy the nature. Amazing architecture made mainly with bamboo. Limited menu but tasty and fresh. Only 8 room guaranty privacy. An unique expérience...
