Bali Jiwa Villa: "Paradise in Ubud."
Me and my wife visit Bali for the 8th time and after staying in most of the luxury hotels in Ubud that you all know I was looking for something real and special and then I found this hidden little paradise just 15 min thru rice fields and local villages away from the vibrant Ubud center. The villas are top end as it´s the service and the spot is just a magazine cover picture. Swimming in your private pool right in the rice fileds wathcing the ducks one meter away doing their job every morning. Everybody talks about sunsets near the beach but you have to watch sunset in Jiwa, wow. The food is delicious even the lunch menu is a little bit reduced but is plenty of places in Ubud. Even if it´s your first time in Bali or If you are a repeater as we are it´s a must to spend some time in Jiwa, for sure you won´t regret.It´s the perfect plae to explore Bali as base camp or just relax and do villa living for relaxing.Thanks to the staff and Barbara they made our stay in Ubud a real special one. If we go to Ubud next time for sure we will go back to our Jiwa home. Thanks and best regards.The Island Lodge: "Lovely Place to stay"
"We stayed 2 nights at the Island Lodge during our tour of Cambodia and Vietnam, and my wife and I loved it. Away from the hustle and Bustle of HCMC , The Island Lodge is a peaceful oasis and I cant recommend them highly enough. We stayed in a Garden View room , the attention to detail all over the resort is exceptional, and the staff with a special mention to Aime'e are a delight nothing is too much trouble. So if you fancy a relaxing break while visiting some of the hectic cities of Vietnam , do yourselves a favour and check out the Island Lodge you wont be disappointed."Tugu Lombok: "Authentic !"
Authentic, exotic, very Nice place, people are so kind. We stayed 4 nights with our 6 & 12 kids, they enjoyed the 2 pools, the snorkeling in the sea and the food. The bungalows are spacious, the bathroom Is open on a private garden. The beach is beautiful with a thin white sand both during the day light or for the lunch. We recommend this hotel.Satri House: "Beautiful, atmospheric gem"
"Love it. Love the library and cognac, love the decor, the food, the beds, the rooms, the cute spa, did I mention the decor (?) and the staff. It feels like you're visiting a (royal) friend and pottering around his (grand) house and just popping out to sample the languid charms of luang prabang when the mood strikes. I would come back just for the weekend for a rest and wander. Beautiful"satri house: "Beautiful rambling villa; separate colonial-style buildings; beautiful decor; attentive staff; lovely manicured grounds"
We visited this hotel and were favorably impressed. The public areas and spacious, airy rooms were beautifully and characteristically appointed with furniture, furnishings and artifacts from Laos and surrounding countries. The hotel is situated at the edge of town but an easy walk into the center for sightseeing and dining. The staff we encountered were pleasant and cooperative. Relatively recent modernization means up-to-date facilities which make for an enjoyable stay. The photos on the TripAdvisor website provide a very good visual tour of the establishment.Tugu Malang: "Classic and Traditional"
"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: "Absolutely worth a stay! One of the nicest boutique hotels and great service."
From soup to nuts, the experience was superb! Greeted by a big smile and by name upon reaching the check in desk. They were prepared. The room is beautiful and clean. Refill of the complimentary mini bar each day was a great added bonus and not expected, plus it ensured you had fresh water in the room. The pool area and pool was lovely and inviting. I spent more time in and around the pool than I do in most locations. So relaxing! It was nice touring during the day and completely relaxing when at the hotel. Breakfast time could be chosen all day -- another absolutely amazing and much appreciated bonus to this hotel. Loved the food and the setting out by the river was so nice. In fact, I imagine the food was so good that they ran out of a couple things I really wanted to try on a couple of occasions. The boat ride into town was unique and let you experience the quiet outside of the center when at the hotel. The spa/massage was fabulous as well. In short, no complaints. Highly recommended. I would absolutely stay here again!!! Another bonus: the cream puffs at the turn down service one night were delicious!!Cuca: "Best meal I’ve had in Bali"
"這位廚師的手藝讓我不得不打個卡紀錄。口感味道層次都抓的剛剛好,有才華的廚師。雖然擺盤soso但完全得到歪嘴雞認證 One of the most splendid meal I've ever tasted since Budapest's Onyx and Dubai's Ossiano. I will definitely come again and recommend all my foodie friends to try. Very talented Spanish chef. If I must have to pick one flaw, that would be the setting of the dishes."Tugu Bali: "Excellent…as always"
I have been to Tugu Bali many times since 2004 and it maintains a high level of quality with wonderful and friendly staff, great service, gorgeous views, easy access to the beach and very comfortable rooms...will be back!Hotel Tugu Bali: "Luxury in Canggu"
"We had the absolute best time at Hotel Tugu in spite of travelling during the volcano chaos and one day of illness. Nothing could spoil our time at this luxurious resort. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay great and are truly exceptional. It's in a fabulous location right next to the beach. We took advantage of all the facilities - pool, spa, room service, restaurants, tours, and even a surfing lesson. Each experience was fantastic. I was celebrating my 30th and I cannot thank the each member of the staff at Hotel Tugu enough for their attentive and kind service. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place highly!"
