Neeleshwar Hermitage: "First-class"
Our wonderful experience here was probably some function of us being the only guests for 3 days, since we arrived in the low season when the skies were pouring. However my sense is that the service here is generally very good. The cottage (sea-view) was a little smaller than I expected but extremely comfy and clean. The open-to-sky bath was a delight. This small resort has a fantastic private beach, a nice pool fronting the beach, great food (especially if you like the local Malabar specialties), attentive staff, an experienced spa and ayurveda team, and basically everything else you need for a memorable luxurious vacation. Highly recommend. WE visited the Bekal Fort and the Valiyaparamba backwaters (houseboat cruise) - both stunning.Villa Song: "Asia trip"
My mom really loves this place. And she wants to make reservation here when we come back at Christmas. This place looks like a castle, very charming and I’m overwhelmed. By the way, it’s really expensiveThe Apsara Rive Droite: "Great Location! Great Hotel"
"We had a main floor room. It was large and so was the bathroom. Both the bed and the bathtub were high so there may be a problem for persons with mobility problems. Air conditioned plus a fan. Well kept and clean. The hotel was one short block from the main street where the monks come every morning. It was a ten minute walk to the night market and easy walking distance to many wats nearby. Also close to boats for river trips, especially sunset cruises. Breakfast for westerners consisted of juice, fruit, bacon and eggs, local french inspired bread and coffee. highly recommended. We got a great deal at US70.00 per night. Was worth more than that. Room Tip: All rooms face the river and a busy street which is not noisy after 10:00 at night."Mathis Retreat: "Quelle Merveille"
We spent 3 nights in this hotel. What about as the superlatives are many. We stayed in the bungalow and what comfort .... it is a quiet intimate place a splendid view of rice fields. Possibility to join the center of Ubud on foot in 20mn through rice fields and villages. I highly recommend The breakfast is fabulous and the meal restaurant Terracotta Go there with confidenceHeritage Suites: "Excellent service in a beautiful setting"
"We were truly impressed by the quality of the service and amenities at Heritage Suites. Extreme attention has been given to every detail of the hospitality here, and it makes for a truly enjoyable stay. The staff are accommodating and personable, and made every aspect of our visit enjoyable. It is a lovely (and romantic) place to stay. We had dinner and cocktails at the hotel, and were impressed by the quality of both. We ordered breakfast in our suite the next morning, and because it arrived ten minutes late, it was removed from our bill at checkout--a good example of how attentive the staff is to making sure the hospitality is top-notch. Based on what people living in Siem Reap have told us, the staff at the hotel are paid and treated fairly (not the case everywhere) and it shows in the service they offer."Maduzi Hotel: "Great hotel, good staff"
"The hotel is in a great location. It is within 100 of Sukhumvit Road yet manages to be rather quiet. The suites are very comfortable and quiet. I love the no quibble everything is free in the mini bar approach. I love the 24x7 cleaning staff approach. For Thailand, they have a fairly well stocked wine and liquor selection. I have found great inconsistency in the front line staff though. Some of the staff were very well trained and could handle most any request. Others I found to be downright infuriating. I would love to see an improvement in consistency for staff training."The River Resort: "Luxury by the Mighty Mekong"
We three seniors had two goals for this four day layover. One was a good rest after a busy two weeks. The second was to see sunset over the Mekong. We got our rest with fully appointed rooms with balconies overlooking the river, two infinity pools, seating under the trees for Happy Hour and a wonderful menu. Breakfast is included and it is excellent. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. All arrangements were made for our four events, to Wat Phou, aromatherapy massages (with muscle), the sunset cruise, and a walk through the villages and temples on the island across the way in the cool of the morning. There were several families with young children, and other seniors enjoying being pampered, like us. This place is perfect for those two demographics.Tugu Bali: "Ultimate feeling of peace, love and happiness!"
"A heartwarming welcome, a super nice room and an excellent breakfast. Hotel Tugu Bali has it all. Enjoy the wonderful spa, the beautiful sunset and the variety of activities. Find peace in this hidden treasure. I greatly enjoyed this pleasant stay. Super compliment to the friendly staff! "Mie Cafe: "Very nice"
Went here for a dinner and it was very nice price and customer service with so many smiles you could not help smiling yourself. Very easy to get to.Tugu Bali: "Aesthetic delights"
"Hotel Tugu is a different hotel than most, and for me - better. Why? I stayed in a suite, more expensive than my custom but I loved the space, the views, the lily pond below and the style of accommodation. The idea of Tugu is that it houses a collection of antique Indonesia art - which I loved - and the hotel itself is designed to be congruent with the art it houses. So you have a place with a quality of history, of character and of class - all at the same time. It is comfortable, the facilities are excellent, I ate extremely well and most noticeably, I was so well looked after by all of the staff there. I would happily return, and that is my best recommendation."
