Tugu Lombok: "Tropical paradise"

Review by: soil_management | Source: Trip Advisor
From the moment we were met at the airport to our departure all the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. Add into the equation a beautiful beach, amazing building and fantastic accommodation and you can see how this becomes a really memorable location for resting and relaxing. Plenty of tasty choices for meals whether you are eating in the main restaurant, on the beach, in the magnificent "wedding hall" or, as we did one evening, just the two of us up above the Hindu temple. Two large swimming pools, 1km of beach so opportunities for swimming and scuba diving. Our room has a plunge pool which was great for refreshing us. The outside bath was fun just sitting beneath the stars. We must go back.

Manda De Laos: "Beautiful and delicious"

Review by: C-RonSanFrancisco | Source: Trip Advisor
This has to be one of the most beautiful, picturesque places to have dinner in all of Laos. It's just so charming, with all the tables around the glittering lily pond, listening to crickets and seeing the stars above. The food itself was simply delicious - we had the vegetarian tasting menu and everything we ate was scrumptious! What lovely, memorable meal.

MesaStila: "Must-visit place for nature lovers, coffee lovers, & traditional Java-Dutch royal lovers"

Review by: ThiaShadiq | Source: Trip Advisor
We fell in love since we arrived at the gate of Mesa Stila. My older daughter (6 yo) said it's just like her dream castle :) the concierge, lobby, and the villa were beautiful as well as overall resort landscape. The staff's service was impressive & very helpful. We enjoyed the coffee plantation tour, beautiful afternoon tea, bicycle riding for my two-daughters, swimming, and quality breakfast indeed. My daughters did not want to go home after stay, so did I and my husband actually haha. Mesa Stila is exactly the place to spend quality time with your beloved. Thank you for the great service!

Tugu Malang: "Excellent deco, service and spa"

Review by: David R | Source: Trip Advisor
"Very nice hotel located close to train station (no need taxi). Many antiques collected by owner make hotel deco look unique with many rooms to discover and nice pieces of furniture. They know how to greet guests and make business: 15mn massage offered, very good local pastries with drink offered at tea time. Nice pool for children, good restaurant and cosy colonial bar. Great location to visit the town and the region. Very good surprise to find this hotel in this small town."

Inle Princess Resort: "Lake Paradise!"

Review by: João Miguel C | Source: Trip Advisor
"Do not go to Inle Lake if you cannot stand mosquitoes, or if you think you are going to find an alpine lake, with crystal clear water. Having said all that, GO to Inle Lake if you want to experience the magic of a land of great craftsmen and wonderful cooks, where the temples are the most beautiful and the lake is just a means of transportation to many enchanted venues in the area. And if you go, stay at the Inle Princess Resort, where I had one of the best stays of my entire life, enjoying their super spacious rooms, with indoor and outdoor showers, great treats from the chef and of course, excellent breakfast and even better dinner. I cannot stress enough how well we were treated in the resort and how much I would like to go back. The property is the closest resort to the town of Nyaung Shwe, so the boat ride is fairly quick. Only in our last day did we realize that there was a road to town as well, but I sincerely believe, after a day full of activities, that your best bet is to relax in the pool area, enjoy the sunsets and have the best dinner at the hotel!"

Tugu Malang: "Magic!"

Review by: Carlespaz | Source: tripadvisor.com
Everything is excellent: staff, the restaurant (great menu) , rooms, afternoon tea, the decors, ... The staff will give you all sort of info and great advice. Don't forget to visit the Bakery next door: Roti Tugu. Highly recommended! One tip: book your table for dinner.

Kinabalu Park: "Amazing view, cooling and great experience"

Review by: Felicia T | Source: Trip Advisor
"I need to be at this place every year as the experiences were really great, the air much fresher compared to the city, amazing view, it was really chilling at that time about 17-19 degrees at night, but we were enjoying every moment of it. The Liwagu restaurant food was getting better compared to the last few years, the menu has been extended. However, the cakes and muffins could be better as I had last year, this year it wasn't that inviting. The next day I still see those cakes and muffins exactly at the counter, remain ""untouchable"". There are portions of the restaurant under maintenance and a huge Christmas tree is going to set up. You must visit this place for Christmas. The buffet for dinner and breakfast is ok just that it really needs some improvement to the taste. It can be much better! Last year the TV was really blurry due to the reception, I guess. But this year was better. The hotel room was clean, really comfy bed with extra blankets and pillows, really appreciate that due to the coldness. I have also forgotten 2 of my kids' jacket at the hotel, however, the ""lost and found"" team immediately took action. I have these jackets courier back to me. Really appreciate the staff effort to do extra miles for the guest. Thanks. Shall see you guys next year!"

Supanniga Eating Room: "Very yummy"

Review by: Jo S | Source: Trip Advisor
Really lovely restaurant with great food, polite service and ambience. We came here for dinner and the staffs were so attentive. The space is quite small so there is only a limited number of tables, so I would suggest you book in advance. I saw about 5 groups of walk ins get turned away during dinner.

Tugu Malang: "Classic and Traditional"

Review by: adn88 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"What should I say about my amazing stay in Hotel Tugu Malang? The room was excellent. They even provided us with FREE high tea between 4-6PM and they served very very good Indonesian traditional cakes and desserts. They also gave us 10 minutes complimentary shoulder massage. This hotel is like a monument. They gave us a free tour of the hotel and so we can see different rooms offered. Unfortunately, we stayed only for a night. Definitely recommend this hotel if you go to Malang!! This is the best place to stay."

Villa Song Saigon: "Part of my 60th birthday trip to Thailand and Vietnam"

Review by: Andrew5771 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have never been to Vietnam before and after spending a week in Thailand we flew to Saigon ( Ho Chi Minh) I had booked the Villa Song hotel whilst in the UK. I like staying near a river or the sea and the hotel looked ideal for us. There were 7 of us incl my wife, her cousin, our 3 children and my eldest sons girlfriend. The hotel was perfect! We arrived and as a surprise some friends of ours who live in Hong Kong had flown in and were at the bar as we arrived. The setting was so good we decided to stay at the hotel for dinner and it was excellent. Great French wines at great prices The chef who also came out to see us was really nice. He was born in Luxembourg and was very helpful. The whole place was excellent - a real original Colonial house that had been renovated into a fabulous boutique hotel. The food, the breakfasts, the cocktails were all superb Great spacious rooms with satellite TV and all the staff could not have been nicer. Above all the prices were sensible and affordable I could not recommend this hotel highly enough - right on the river and just 20 minutes into the centre on a free shuttle bus provided by the hotel You must go!!"
