Tugu Bali: "Cooking lessons at Tugu Resort"

Review by: Fayçal B | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had an amazing experience at Hotel Tugu; from the initial welcome you could tell we were in for something special. The outdoor setting was immaculately prepared and the fresh ingredients inspired our appetites. Daisey and the chef were engaging and took the time to explain how to build the flavours in Indonesian food. We had our meal in a lovely private setting. After dessert we were treated for a private tour by Jenny, the manager of the resort, who took the time to explain the philosophy of the founder and the history of the resort's various artifacts. In summary Tugu Hotel in Bali is a combination of a 5 star resort and a museum with unique rooms/villas and the personal touch that you get at boutique hotels. Within a stone's throw from a great surfing beach and various other great locations in Canggu; Definitely one of the hidden gems in Bali. Stayed April 2017, traveled with friends"

Tugu Lombok: "Great service & amazing beauty"

Review by: Dan K | Source: Trip Advisor
A truly wonderful resort with a fabulous sense of style and beach sophistication. A great launching point to climb Rinjani or simply relax on the quite side of Lombok. We didn't get to try the tapas restaurant as it is only open a few nights a week. This was our only disappointment.

Supanniga Cruise: "Probably the best stylish dinner cruise in Bangkok!!!"

Review by: Chong N | Source: Trip Advisor
"Love the cruise design, so chic and stylish. Not way traditional Thai like other cruises. I especially love the lounge area at the front of the boat where you can chill, sip champagne, and enjoy Bangkok's nighttime river view. For the food, it comes with 6-course authentic Thai food and a glass of Taittinger champagne as a welcome drink. And I must say the taste is really Thai, unlike some other cruises that compromises way to much to suit foreigners' palate. The service is top-notch, very attentive and friendly. The cruise manager, Khun Joe, is the real gem. He helped us taking pictures and we loved the wine he recommended. All in all, a must do if are into river cruising."

Muang La Lodge: "Traumhafte Lodge in wunderbarer Umgebung"

Review by: Volker S | Source: Trip Advisor
"Unfortunately, only two nights we spent in this oasis of peace and tranquility. Everything was perfect, the room, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the friendliness of the staff. A trip into the mountains by jeep turned into an adventure, since due to the heavy rain in the mud despite snow chains we !! stuck. A walk and a replacement vehicle then have "liberated" us after 3 hours. After that we could relax in the hot baths and then enjoy a delicious dinner. The best hotel on the whole trip! "

Tugu Malang: "Hotel ini memberikan pengalaman berbeda & sangat personal. Fully recommended"

Review by: Safitri S | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at the Hotel Tugu Malang, with the intention unt different experience from 'modern in general. (2dewasa, 1 child. 3 Days 2 Nights) We get a room on the first floor near the swimming pool. This is the first time we stayed here and were very impressed with this hotel: 1. Architecture and Java Colonial-style interior, filled with antiques. This point may be nothing like it, some do not. 2. The service is very personal. Here, the staff greet you with your name, ma'am whom, sir whom so. Very friendly and warm. 3. Got a welcome drink and a snack. 4. In the room, above the bed are welcome Postcard addressed to Us personally, with little interest. 5. Got Fruit Basket, his mouth filled every day (not just one time when he came alone). 6. Got Compliment Massage. 7. There is a Tour Hotel. In other hotels there is no hotel tour probably because no reply is told, at the Hotel Tugu lot of story. 8. Afternoon snack market got a compliment snacks and traditional drinks in the lounge. 9. Restaurannya nice and the food is good. The price such as resto in Jakarta Mall. 10. When you check out, offered a more traditional beverages. No Welcome Drink usual hotel, here fitted with Goodbye Drink. 11. Got souvenirs Kawi Coffee brand essence, from their coffee plantations. Overall, this hotel provides a different experience and very personal. Fully recommended. "

Nimmu House: "Charming, peaceful, warm and stunning"

Review by: 870laurentl | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Difficult to say what is best: the house? the tents? the whole staff? the location? the views? We had an amazingly fulfilling 7-day stay at Nimmu House. Met some great people. Had some great long chats. Had beautiful walks. Even had a very nice bicycle ride. The beauty of the valley and the surrounding mountains, the feeling of equanimity.It is pretty hard to beat such an experience."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"

Review by: karinagillibrand | Source: Trip Advisor
"This is Thailand's best kept secret. Charming and secluded and really really well run by Massi, the hotel manager. We were in heaven and are dreaming about our next visit. No tvs, no air conditioning, running water that smells a little due to minerals, but none of it matters when you are at the golden Buddha because you are drawn into a Robison Crusoe fantasy that you seldom find anywhere these days. Lots of nature and very little to do except enjoy the surroundings. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Holiday"

Review by: Andrew J | Source: tripadvisor.com
The Cabochon is quiet and peaceful reminiscent of a colonial era with all the trimmings of a boutique residence. The location offers great access to the city's delights including retail and food outlets. The rooms are light, airy and spacious with crisp white bedding. The pool area is sedate and relaxing. The restaurant serves a wonderful array of Thai delights from all regions of this wonderful land. The bar area is busy with eclectic wonders but also soothing and tasteful. The staff are smart, attentive and most helpful. I would recommend this to any discerning traveller. I most certainly will be returning.
