Flower Island: "Pristine paradise"

Review by: Sebastien C | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 2 nights at flower island resort and loved every minute! The corals surrounding the island are stunning and thriving with life. We saw a turtle on our first snorkelling just a few metres away from the beach. The visibility is great, around 20-25m and there is plenty of fish. Our cottage had a direct access onto the beach with a beautiful view (especially for sunset). The staff on the island is very friendly, they even prepared a last minute dance show for us on our last evening there. We also had the chance to visit one of the pearl farms nearby, a fascinating industry. This place is a true paradise, we did not want to leave. Thank you flower island resort for such an amazing time."

Babe: "Excellent Food, wonderful Dining Experience"

Review by: Thomas S | Source: Trip Advisor
At our 3 day stopver in KL we had on our last night diner at chef Jeff Ramsey's Babe restaurant and we're sorry not to have gone one night earlier, because we would have come again a 2nd time. The food was just excellent, and the overall dining experience outstanding. We had the 12 course Japas (Japanese Tapas) Tasting Menu for 450 Ringit (they also offer a simpler one for 350 and a premium version for 750 Ringit), and all 12 dishes had been at least very good, some of them absolutely outstanding: the Caramelized Monfish Liver was an explosion of different flavours and had a smooth but still crunchy texture. The Wagy Nigiri was remarkable in quality of meat as well as preparation. A dish named World's Juiciest Lamb Chop lived up to it's label. On top of the excellent food the service was absolutely friendly and competent, which enhanced the overall dining experience. The selection of wine served by the glass was limited, but both the 2 whites (a NZ Sauvignong and a Chilean Gewuerztraminer) and the 2 reds (a Californian Merlot and a Bordeaux) we had were very good. Lastly, the location is fantastic: the restaurant offers a panorama view of the KL skyline, best appreciated from one of the outside tables, recommend strongly to ask for pooldeck (i.e. outside) seating when offered the choice at the reservation. We definitely will go again if we come to KL.

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Charmant"

Review by: Jacques C | Source: Trip Advisor
"Un endroit étonnant en dehors du temps. 6 magnifiques bungalows en bois gérés par une école hôtelière, un restaurant utilisant les cultures faites sur place, de gros efforts écologiques qui devraient être un modèle pour tout le lac Inle qui se meurt, un conservatoire de chats birmans (disparus de Birmanie et réimplantés un peu artificiellement ici, mais du coup les chats sont quasiment en chambre d'isolement pour conserver leur pureté), une atmosphère sympathique et très attentive. Petits défauts : évidemment pas de piscine, un peu bruyant de par le passage incessants des pirogues. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"

Satri House: "An amazing experience"

Review by: James L | Source: Trip Advisor
From the moment we arrived we were awe-struck by this beautiful property. Gianni and his team do a superb job looking after the guests' every need, from organising tours to arranging airport transportation. All of the staff are very friendly but our favourite was Peng at the pool bar. An absolute delight, he attended us thoughtfully and unobtrusively over our four days at Satri House. We were very sorry to leave. We would definitely stay there again!!

MesaStila: "It surpasses all expectations for all of us"

Review by: yohana w | Source: Trip Advisor
"I heard about how good Mesastila is since their name was still Losari. I have been dreaming to come here for a very long time and finally my wish do come true and every single one in our group were so impressed by Mesastila's grace and charm. 22 hectars of land divided into two areas. Each 11 hectares. One area for coffee plantation and the other for only 23 villas. If full booked, this giant space is only want to accommodate 60 guests !!!! Now that is LUXURY ! The more you know about this place the more you will feel your money is well spent. The view is also absolutely beautiful ... Bring your whole family here and just let Mesastila take care of you."

Yes, we loved it and hope to come back again soon!!

Tugu Bali: "Amazing service"

Review by: Arnaud F | Source: Trip Advisor
"We have chosen this hotel to start our 10 days Bali tour moving from West, to Ubud and ending by Candidasa. Fantastic boutique hotel, wooden construction and local spirit. Everything is warm and easy. In a private garden, you may choose pool house or ""Rejang Suite"" (such as we did). Food and service are just great. Our only one unhappiness was the environment, with a dirty beach (we'be been told that it is normal during this period). But what an amazing sunset !!! Some local shops (cloths and vegan restaurant) are only 15mn by walk or 2-5mn by scooter. We shall definitely return during our next trip. Enjoy "
