Papua Paradise: "Unique and exciting experience!"
Papua Paradise was a unique and exciting experience, jungle meets the sea. The bungalows over the water were something I’ve always wanted to experience. The bed was very comfortable and mosquito nets were put up every morning and put down again at night. Every night, the frogs would sing loudly and the birds would wake you in the morning. Excellent timing since there was so much great snorkeling to experience. I especially liked all the hooks in the room for hanging clothing, etc, as well as the drying rack on the porch. The food was plentiful and delicious. There were many choices at each meal, Indonesian and western. Staff were friendly and helpful. The snorkeling in Raja Ampat and the Fam Islands was incredible! Snorkeling the house reefs was in itself a great experience. The house has a front reef, to the left and to the right of the pier as well as a back reef, a short walk to the other side of the resort. We especially enjoyed the front reef to the left facing the island at the end near the last of the bungalows. The dive team were all helpful and knowledgeable. Papua Paradise is rustic but well set up. If you’re out to dive or snorkel, I think you’ll enjoy the resort.Manda De Laos: "An excellent dinner"
This is a charming venue with really stunning views over the beautiful lit ponds. Very helpful staff and we all has excellent food. The tamarind duck was excellent along with the mushrooms, vegetables and rice.tugu lombok: "Brilliant stay, amazing place"
"We stayed at Hotel Tugu for 4 nights and we both came away saying it was easily the best hotel we had ever stayed in! Every whim is catered for, anything you could imagine they make possible, and always with a smile. The food is outstanding, and the location of the hotel is fantastic with a stunning white sand beach and views of the mountains. An incredible place to stay, you won't be disappointed if you book this hotel! Can't wait to return"Manukan Island Resort: "Wunderbar"
"Die Übernachtungen in der Hill Villa 12 waren wunderbar. Sehr gepflegte luxuriöse Appartments. Großzügige Raumgestaltung, wunderbare Aussicht, Top Personal!!!! Terrasse, Patio und Balkon mit Meerblick über Palmen und den sehr gepflegten Privatstrand. Das Personal erfüllt das Begehr des Kunden noch bevor der Kunde das Begehr begehrt:-) Jederzeit gerne wieder! Ein Traum!!"VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Holiday in heaven"
"We have spent a very relaxing and peaceful time at this wonderful hotel. Located along the river and just far enough away from district 1 - Villa Song was the perfect escape from the daily adventures discovering Ho Chi Minh City, Chi Chi tunnels and Mekong delta. Highly recommended. "Tugu Lombok: "Quirky and very special."
This is such a quirky hotel. I was slightly alarmed on guest impressions because this is definitely not a sophisticated, one dimensional hotel. This is a one off. Beautiful situation right on the beach, big rooms with outside bathrooms and plunge pools, huge grounds, two pools - the new one bring a large infinity pool with fresh water and I always had it to myself). Plenty of sunbeds so you never had to rush anywhere and the staff were all completely charming. We were made to feel very welcome and everyone knew our names. The manager was very visible and personable and, like all the staff, seemed to genuinely enjoy his job. A very special place. Recommend the BBQ on the beach (the staff went to great lengths to make it special and the food was fab). Also recommend Gillian Island snorkelling trip where we saw lots of turtles which was a highlightMie Cafe: "Best meal of the trip"
"This is a small, fairly unassuming restaurant located in a lovely outdoor garden in the shade of a house in Siem Reap. It is easy walking distance to several large hotels on the outskirts of town. The menu is labeled ""fusion"", meaning that the flavor axis is Cambodian, but presentation styles and cooking techniques seemed to draw from other world cuisines. Nevertheless, the food was fabulous (and I'm picky). Prices were very reasonable. The Khmer curry was incredible. There is an a la carte menu, a fixed menu and a vegan menu."Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Fabulous Beach Hotel"
Having spent 11 days sightseeing / touring the Golden Triangle further North we really enjoyed our 8 days of relaxation at this delightful beach hotel; its rustic nature but with all the mod cons situated within coconut groves beside a beach that goes on for miles with hardly a soul in sight was heaven. As an eco resort it has no plastic and the water for drinking was absolutely safe; food experience superb and staff outstanding, also the onsight tailor who was tremendous value. We will return.Reverie Siam: "Wonderful Boutique Hotel"
"Stayed here for 4 nights, second floor mountain view. two swimming pools beautiful gardens wonderful FnB... the 3 hour drive from Chiang Mai was magical... like arriving in Shangri La They had two wonderful musicians playing in the lounge when we had our evening cocktails. Such attention to detail in the design. Somebody has paid an awful lot of attention to this resort, I only wish I could have met the manager to thank him in person. No exaggeration to say one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The breakfast was fantastic, the cappuccino cinnamon toast was the best in the world. Cannot recommend highly enough Top Tip... grab a beer and head down to the gazebo by the river with your book and just chill out! Don't rely on Google Maps to get you here... it directs to through town to the other side of the river... the hotel is 1km down the street next to the police station"Satri House: "GREAT"
Great friendly staff who are always willing to help out , restaurant is amazing and is totally under used as loads of people go out instead , which I think Is a shame , pools are fab and the rooms are top quality . Would recommend to everyone !!!!!!!
