Mathis Retreat: "A real retreat in beautiful surroundings with wonderful staff"

Review by: jpamy | Source: Trip Advisor
We received a wonderful,warm welcome at this peaceful haven which is a 10 minute taxi ride from the centre of Ubud. We chose a room in the new block overlooking the rice fields which was just beautiful- the pictures on the website do not do it justice. Fresh fruit was delivered to our room each evening. Breakfast at the Terracotta restaurant overlooking the rice fields was lovely and eating there in the evening was magical. The staff go out of their way to be helpful at every opportunity. We used the hotel as a base from which to explore this fascinating part of the island and would definitely recommend it. Only slight con was the wi fi was very temperamental but a small price to pay!

Review by: Andrew M | Source: Trip Advisor
"Hiii ! This is for many times I visited this city, BANGKOK. THAILAND!!! I heart you ever. For this time I traveled with my cousins & her daughter, for them that was 1st visit & memorable they whispered me at the plane :p Well, i would like to falls some wordings here about this boutique hotels! We spent only 3 nights 4 days on the first week of June, this hotel is stunning & room was spacious with living room shared & an amazing design... & other good point is their location was a central of bangkok in Sukhumvit street as i know every single corner way of it. Almost forgot, my room with a shower in the bathtub anyway, it was really an unique style i have ever seen... so perfectly! Service was excellent since we got an assistance from the staff, the girl one who wears white blouse & served our breakfast is well named ""A"" (read : ei'), the bartender names Thanuwong Hompan Kun, the girl i forgot her name who welcomed us when we were check in at evening & the guy at the roof top who always met when i was swimming at the roof top ... i thanking to you guys & warmest hospitality when i was there. Ohh ya, we had dinner at 2nd night in lovely boutique hotel (The Cabochon), the food was really fantastic taste & good presentation as same as we had breakfast style (semi buffet & ala carte service) :) I highly recommend this boutique hotel & am already planning return for a holiday with my sister (hopefully get special rate / hotelier rate since me & her are hotelier in Bali) :D next year where i will most definitely return to The Cabochon Hotel Thank you & i do sorry to keep you waiting a month for my reviews :) Do not worry i remember that, & now see above ! 555555 Kapunkaaapppppp!"

Slow Villas and Spa: "Great romantic getaway"

Review by: HuffJoe | Source: Trip Advisor
"Well, I will start by saying we were booked at another place on Gili Air and while it was nice, we decided to go over and take a peak at Gili Slow to see if they might have a vacancy for our second night. When we got there they had one suite available which they showed us.....it was so much better than our current place we actually went back and grabbed our bags and moved that night to Gili Slow! The service was great, the breakfast delivered to our one bedroom pool side villa was delicious and delivered at EXACTLY the time we asked for it the night before (impressive in any island destination). The open air rooms and super comfy beds and outdoor bathrooms were all great. Also, they have a great spa on site as well but book your treatments early as they book up fast! Overall just a fantastic experience in a magical place."

Satri House: "Truly warm and friendly staff, Navitha"

Review by: Miriammisha | Source: Trip Advisor
"Cute boutique hotel in this lovely Unesco city with a colonial arquitecture. We were sad living this place, lovely staff, amazing Navitha (hope name is well written) who welcomes every guest of the hotel, she advised us where to go, eat, do....she was so helpful!! If it wasn't for he we would have missed many things there. We wish we could remember every single staff name, from reception to cleaners, waiters, they are all super professional. Service is exquisite, a la carte and with local food options. Free bikes to go around which were so handy. Bed has a mosquito net that they prepared for us everyday. What can I say about this place? We will be back!"

Tugu Lombok: "Brilliant stay, amazing place"

Review by: Olivia333 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at Hotel Tugu for 4 nights and we both came away saying it was easily the best hotel we had ever stayed in! Every whim is catered for, anything you could imagine they make possible, and always with a smile. The food is outstanding, and the location of the hotel is fantastic with a stunning white sand beach and views of the mountains. An incredible place to stay, you won't be disappointed if you book this hotel! Can't wait to return"

Flower Island: "Perfect away from it all"

Review by: Evarich | Source: tripadvisor.com
From the journey to the Island and everything during our stay to the time we had to leave was simply amazing. The fantastic approach by boat, the welcome, the staff, the food, the serenity, the views, snorkelling, canoeing, the beach, the bar, the rooms and the dog. We absolutely loved the whole experience. No TV, WiFi, unless at the reception, traffic, hustle and bustle. A most perfect few days of sheer basic bliss in simple true rustic charm. Total chill out. We will be back, for longer next time!

The Cabochon Hotel: "Great service"

Review by: Annnabel | Source: Trip Advisor
Cute hotel, a different vibe to anything else in bkk. Can't fault the service, such lovely people working there! Amazing French toast for breakfast too. Clean and comfortable! Rooftop pool was always quiet and excellent, might just need a bit more shade.

Tugu Lombok: "Magical in every aspects"

Review by: Catherine B | Source: Trip Advisor
"We could have not chosen a better place to celebrate our special anniversary. We were spoilt from the moment we arrive until the very sad moment we left. All staff without exception went out of their wat to make us feel like royalty and gracious care. Everything about Tugu Lombok was magical. We felt both at home and in an island paradise at the same time. Would love to go back to this magical island and Tugu as our home.."

TIGER MOUNTAIN POKHARA LODGE: "Fabulous Respite"

Review by: Andrea M | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We stayed here after a grueling six day trek, and what a welcome reward it was! From the moment we disembarked from our jeep, up the steep driveway to the property, our entire group was awed. Literally perched on a mountain top, you have sweeping views from both sides of the mountain. The villas scattered around the property work to maintain privacy, while the beautiful common area has little nooks for privacy, or you can choose to sit on the beautiful verandah, to take in the views, have a drink and rest. The dinner, meanwhile, was delicious, with the tables elegantly set in a non-pretentious way. The villa was beautifully decorated, and again, after our hard work and life in a tent on the trek, the luxurious bed and bathroom was so welcomed! It is truly a retreat - either from the demands that wonderful Nepal asks of you as her traveler, or from the demands that your daily life asks of you. I will certainly return - and might just take in one day in Kathmandu, then come directly back to Tiger Mountain Lodge for three days of beautiful relaxation and rejuvenation. "
