The Village House: "Fabulous retreat-you must stay here"

Review by: Emily T | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at The Village house in mid August this year (2015), and we loved every minute of our stay. The rooms are luxurious, wonderfully comfortable and thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. The hotel itself is stunning, everything has been done for you to effortlessly enjoy the stunning surroundings and allow you to fully relax. We took lots of trips from The Village House, all of which were excellent and extremely hassle free. We ate in the restaurant every day and never had a bad meal, again a really thoughtfully put together menu and everything was fabulous. The greatest accolade goes tot eh staff, they are amazing, made us feel very welcome and at home, fantastic experience."

Tugu Lombok: "The definition of hidden gem"

Review by: Scott A | Source: tripadvisor.com
Hotel Tugu Lombok is absolutely the perfect place to relax and a must-do on your Indonesian vacation. The hotel has stunning panoramic views and amazing sunsets. The beach is serene and quiet (even the three or four children that were there when we were there were well behaved...). While swimming is tough since the shore line is very shallow and rock filled, the hotel provides free snorkel gear and water shoes that make a cool down trip to the water easy and fun. Each room is uniquely furnished with antiques from around Indonesia that gives the hotel a cool vibe you can't find anywhere else...and the rooms/suites are amazing!

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Best in Mrauk-U"

Review by: Daniel M | Source: Trip Advisor
"Excellent rustic hotel in Mrauk U. The hotel has its own jetty that takes about 4:30 hours from Sittwe airport. Sunrise breakfast charge 150 for 5 people to watch the sunrise in the the mountain and have breakfast there. Bicycles are available for rent for $5 for full day and $3 for half day. The pool in the middle of the lotus flower lake is great but the water is cold. Breakfast is included; for other meals the restaurant has a vast menu priced in USD. Can't go wrong with the curry, coconut rice (not found on the menu) and the lentil soup . The Internet rarely works but then again who cares when you are immersed in history. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

Tugu Bali: "Utterly Unreal"

Review by: goodtrips01 | Source: Trip Advisor
Wow... where to start? Every square inch of this property is stunning and exquisitely cared for. Nothing is out of place. It's like staying in an amazing museum of Balinese art. And just when you are totally zened out you can walk 2 minutes away to a great beach bar (Old Man's). Amazing sunsets right on the beach every night make for perfect sundowner experiences. We stayed in the Puri Le Mayeur suite. It's been described as the most romantic suite in Bali and I couldn't agree more. Every inch, literally every inch of it is museum quality. Words honestly fail. We had romantic dinners set up on our gazebo a few nights and it was beautiful. 2 nights we had the Aphrodisiac Dinner in Bed on the beach. Again, just stunning. One night we had the beach barbecue. It's nice but not as nice as the bed dinner. We booked couples massages, private yoga, private guided meditation and private reiki . All were amazing. Gede Cakrabhawa guided us through mediation and reiki. He was exceptional. We met with him almost every morning to start the day off right. Jenny, in charge of sales, was so friendly, helpful and available. She truly enhanced our stay. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. It's just so much more than a "hotel".

Tugu Lombok: "A place for privacy and serenity"

Review by: LightofLife | Source: Trip Advisor
"My hubs and I wanted as short getaway in Lombok. We were looking forward to a quiet and relaxing time and Hotel Tugu delivers it. The resort is Balinese style with a lot of art collections since the owner, I heard is an art collector. The resort is within a huge open space fronting pristine white beach. The villa we stayed was comfortable, clean and cooling. Food in the resort was delicious and reasonably priced. The most outstanding part of this resort is its team of people. Everyone was highly service oriented, from the front manager to the pakcik cleaning the ground. we had lovely chats with some of them. An area they could improve was probably the spa. It felt more like a massage than a spa. Small touches like a foot wash before the massage and a cup of ginger tea would have improved the whole experience. But it is a tiny blip on an otherwise outstanding experience. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Review by: Mark P | Source: Trip Advisor

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Stunning and calm 3 days at 4 Rivers"

Review by: ofiucus | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We loved the lodge, from the moment we arrived the warm welcome and the stunning location were as much as we could have hoped for. From kayaking in the mangroves to swimming in the waterfalls and in the river just outside your tent - this place is anything but dull - check out their activity programme. We are vegan & vegetarian and the staff accommodated us completely - with a varied and changing menu with multiple options every day. Highly recommended - and having read the very few negative reviews I can only think of them as truly bizarre. This is heaven on Earth."

Maison Polanka: "We felt very privileged…"

Review by: Stephane G | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We felt very privileged to stay at la Maison Polanka. It is not a hotel; no room number, you take off your shoes before entering your room, someone comes to you with a cold scented towel when entering the property after a walk, a waiter brings you a glass of water when sitting in the garden... Everything is organized to make you feel like you are a special guest! Cathy the manager understands your expectations and is totally dedicated to her job and to make you feel special. (...) The house is authentic, full of charm and character. The garden is amazing and the large pool is warm and always clean. Staying at Maison Polenka made us feel very privileged and we would definitely recommend it for anyone who wishes to find a peaceful, tailored-to-your-needs, beautiful and comfortable place! Merci beaucoup!"

MesaStila: "Nature and Forrest Conservation"

Review by: Soedibyo L | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a private villa with very expensive food prices. Perfect for honeymoon or stress relieve. If you are no a hotel guess than your access only to the restaurant. So the hotel guess will have their privacy. Professional management. Very large area. There are fishing pond. Tennis court. Swimming pool. You can hear the bird singing in the forrest. Very quite and relaxing.
