Tugu Bali: "F A N T A S T I Q U E !"

MAGICAL EFFECT! the first steps in hotel and already you whisper. The atmosphere is harmonious and deeply Balinese The owner, the greatest art collector of Indonesia has furnished hotel rooms of the unique art Tugu is a trip alone. The cuisine is delicate, the prices are right, very caring staff. Every Thursday night, traditional dance (do not miss) you have 1 minute walk to the Batu Bolong beach for those learning to surf, waves in the morning and evening are perfect to do again!

Samuay & Sons: "Number 1"

"Fabulous! Chef/ owner trained in San Fransico for 2 years, and has worked at an array of influential restaurants and hotels. Talented and gifted, his dishes are extraordinarily delicious, and put together with mindful thought and experience. Udon Thani is very fortunate to have such a master of food and will undoubtably be launched into celebrity status soon. Restaurant is tastefully decorated, I only wish the seats were padded, and menu had pictures. Staff very professional all wearing matching uniforms. It is only a matter of time, this restaurant will be rated number one (1) in Udon Thani!"

Arumdalu: "Great experience"

"The best resort on the island, the beach at the back of the resort is totally private, feels like i owned the beach by myself, food at the resort is great, just abit pricey for belitung island... But so far this is the best experience ... "

The Village House: "Your own little village"

"I loved our stay at the Village House! First, just to make it clear, the Village House is NOT in the actual city of Kuching. It’s in Santubong Village, which I believe was about a 30 minute cab ride from Kuching. I didn’t experience much of Kuching, but I can tell you that being outside of the city felt very nice to my girlfriend and I. As we arrived during low season, my girlfriend and I had this wonderful little place virtually to ourselves. The rooms are not large and somewhat basic, but they were still comfortable. If you are a late starter or like to lounge in your room during the day, the rooms do get quite hot. A better option is to read, work, or internet surf by the pool and take an occasional dip to keep cool. The pool….beautiful. It’s not huge so I am unsure what it is like in high season, but my girlfriend and I shared some wonderful experiences there, including taking a swim during a tropical rainstorm. The design of the property is wonderful and it really does give you a feel that you are in your own village. It is well maintained and cared after by the staff. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, even for my sometimes demanding partner…oi! But I digress…they always did a nice job arranging transportation. We actually arrived when the governor of Sarawak had passed away so several companies stopped running in acknowledgment of the passing. This left us stranded on one excursion. But the staff stopped what they were doing and provided us transportation themselves. That was very kind and we were very grateful. Activities are not too far away. As a matter of fact, for some you are much closer than you would be in Kuching, like the Sarawak Cultural Village, Kuching Wetland National Park, Mt. Santubong, and the AMAZING Bako National Park. I highly recommend the Village House for your stay, especially if you are looking for a peaceful little haven. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song Saigon: "gorgeous place to stay"

"we stayed in this lovely hotel for a long weelend whilst visiting hcmc. we absolutely loved it. the hotel manager took the time to meet us personally and welcome - though there was a wedding reception that first night, we did not at any time feel disturbed or a lack of service. to compensate for the inconvenience, we were offered dinner or a taxi ride to wherever we wanted to go for dinner. absolutely great. the hotel has an own shuttle service by blat to the city and this is awesome. the boat leaves in front of the hotel and drops u off in the middle of the city centre. great service. some might say its not close to the city centre, but with the boat shuttle, this hotel clearly makes up for it - but not only that - overall, i believe its the best place to unwind after a day in the hectic city of ho chi minh.

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Welcome to paradise"

"That's what Massi said to us when he greeted us at the beach upon our arrival at the Golden Buddha. Having spent amazing 9 nights there, we can confirm that Golden Buddha is a very special place that I would have no doubt calling our own paradise. The setting is truly idyllic, the houses are beautiful and it is incredibly relaxing with all your needs catered for by a very friendly team of staff. We enjoyed seeing monkeys and hornbills at the resort and although it takes one or two nights to get used to being so close to the nature (particularly at night when we had some visitors in our rooms and open air bathrooms), we have already been missing being woken up by birds, cicadas and crashing waves. We chose Golden Buddha as our family reunion (from UK, NZ, Germany and Poland) and we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend time together. It was my mum's 60th birthday and Massi organised a birthday meal for all of us in our baan which was very special and at no extra cost (included in half board). Not wanting to repeat all the compliments already mentioned in previous posts, I wanted to highlight the fact that there is a wide choice of activities too - we went for a snorkelling trip to Surin Islands which was great fun, even for those in our group who were new to snorkelling. You can also rent kayaks and go paddling up the small river among mangroves (it was peaceful and very easy with the tide coming in) or go to the nearby islands for some more snorkelling. We also took advantage of yoga classes with Alex who was a great teacher. The location of the yoga sala allows you to enjoy the early morning view of the bay whilst doing your sun salutations, just amazing! Or just get in a hammock or sit on a veranda and relax to the sound of waves crashing few meters away from you... You choose how to enjoy this paradise yourself:)"

Tugu Lombok: "Simply the best three nights of our life"

Without a doubt, the Hotel Tugu in Lombok was the best hotel experience we have ever had, second to none (and I've travelled a lot). The most exceptional grounds, most amazing rooms, outstanding service, beautiful beach, highly attentive staff, and second-to-none food. I would strongly, strongly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an out-of-this-world travel experience. Special thanks to Evi for her special help for this trip, and to Hotel Manager Henri for his care. Actually, every staff member was exceptional and worthy of special mention if only I could remember all of their names.

RACHAMANKHA: "Quaint hotel"

"Beautiful hotel and room. Loved the design and the property overall. A magical place for sure. Please make the effort to book it if in Chiang Mai. Stayed only one night in a Grand Deluxe room but would have liked to stay for more. "

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing stay at Tugu Lombok"

"We spent a memorable 10 days in Tugu Lombok. Everything about the hotel was incredible. From the fireworks on the beach, to world class massages and cuisine. The hotel staff went out of there way to ensure a luxurious a stay as possible - including our nighttime beach barbecue under the stars. The food is delicious. We have had bbq fish all over south east asia, but Tugu Lombok really pushed the boundaries, blending traditional flavours, with the freshest seafood. We had a nightmare on the day we were leaving whereby our boats were cancelled, but hotel Tugu pulled out all the stops at the last minute, to find us an alternative Particular mentions to Hanny, Elly, Henry, Januar - but frankly the entire team were incredibly attentive. We very much look forward to revisiting Be Lucky!"
