MesaStila: "A perfect sanctuary in the hills"
"This place is honestly as good as you can hope to find for a holiday. Absolutely everything about it was perfect. It's difficult to know where to start in describing it but the big things were: - The estate is all exquisite, colonial style - built and collected by one (Italian) lady over 20 or so years. Her passion shows through in every price of furniture and every building. Fortunately it is still beautifully maintained even today - The service is far from old school though. The staff knew us perfectly and were fantastically well coordinated everywhere we went. If we were having lunch, they would confirm our spa plans for the afternoon, for example. Very slick. - The rooms were fantastic. Spacious, well equipped and with the most incredible views of the mountains and jungle below us. - There were activities all through the day: horse riding, coffee plantation tours, spa treatments. All entirely optional but very insightful and inspiring. There were also lots of outdoor games like croquet etc for us to play. - The afternoon tea was a perfect touch end of the day - sitting out on the Verandah... - The food was excellent. Always really tasty and a great blend of western and Javanese - The spa and hammam were incredible. The Hammam was such a treat - a full Turkish bath that was luxuriously decked out. The staff were also probably the best masseuses that we've ever seen - We did a few excursions / walks through local plantations or up one of the nearby peaks. They were a must do for me - so perfect. This place is basically like ""out of africa"" in java - just perfect. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Silent and luxurious"
"Amazing property.. Lush green and by the beach, endless pool, good spa, luxurious cottages, extra large size rooms, well equipped baths, hammocks beside each cottage, good food and super courteous staff.. Neeleshwar hermitage was as good as it looks in the images.. Since restaurant is only for guests and not open to the public, There are limited food options, but you can pre order what ever you like, and they will prepare it for u.. Food is a Lil expensive, so you can take a package inclusive of all 3 meals! Just 8 kms from the railway station, A cab will charge you rs. 1000 for drop from the station to the resort (which is expensive, but cheaper compared to the rs. 1800 this resort charges) We stayed here overnight.. And thoroughly enjoyed the stay.. Show less"Satri House: "Great Service lovely Hotel"
I booked this hotel for my daughter who was backpacking around Asia because I needed an important document signed and the Hotel said they could arrange everything from downloading the document, printing it and after signing DHL it back to the UK. Well not only did they do this but my daughter had a fantastic stay at the hotel, she loved the bedrooms (very comfy mattress apparently) and loved the service. What more can you ask for. Thank you Phommaly TEVAMITH (Mr), great service!MesaStila: "Leisure"
Was my second time to visited this Mesastila. They have great view and great staff! They have 22 hectare land. 11 hectare is for coffee plantation, and the rest is for villas. They have 22 rooms. The price for villas is quite expensive but I think it's valuable including coffee plantation tour.Slow Villas and Spa: "You have to stay there ! Perfect"
Slow Private Pool Villas is the perfect place to stay on Gili Air ! Everything is perfect ! The breakfast, the staff, the boss, the private pool, the bed, the bathroom, the location, the hôtel ! Everything is perfect and you can book there with your eyes closed. It's a place like no other on earth. It will be an unforgetable stay !!! Waouw just go there and enjoy the life. Also it's a plce where they ban completely plastic in the Hôtel, then really good concept too ! Congratulations to all the staff and Julie.Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Peace and tranquility"
Beautiful, beautiful, rural location. You feel completely out of touch of the modern world and utterly in touch with nature and your surroundings. Amazing spa, best massages of my life and beautiful products to be bought here. As a real yogi I loved the yoga on the beach every morning free of charge! The food was delicious and the staff were so accommodating to my slightly poorly stomach (from previously in my trip) and made me food of the menu to keep me perky!Locavore: "Taste Bud Experience"
We did the 7 course lunch with drink pairing. It was a great experience and we highly recommend it. Every course was sensational. It was a 2.5 hour food session that we will remember for a long time! Only suggestion would be explanation cards on each dish and drinks written in English as the normal language barrier plus background noises made it very hard to take in everything our waitress was explaining. Thank you Lavacore and see you again next time we visit.JL Studio: "新加坡主廚讓小吃變身高級料理的精彩之作"
Each dish is there some cultural background, creative chef also make this meal full of surprises, be sure to enjoy yourself to experience, is to let the taste buds are satisfied with the soul of a good restaurant :)Sea Dance Resort: "Amazing Place with Truly Amazing Hospitality"
"Stayed at this property for 2 nights with wife & 2 year old kid. Striking feature about this resort: 1. Staff: be it reception, housekeeping or restaurant,they are simply the people who love their job truly. Always welcoming guest with a big smile & addressing the guest by their names. They love to engage with the guest on variety of topics . 2. View from the restaurant. It is picture perfect for a good start to your day. Property is small, but has its own charm & we truly enjoyed our stay here. Rooms are small (Relatively) but practical. Offer complete privacy to each of the room. Bathroom is open to air & you may have to share your space with some tiny guests... Snails :) Our room was provided with an infant bed as complimentary. Breakfast is tasty & if you have a specific preference, do let them know in advance so that they can accommodate your request. Beach is small & rocky. I wish the all Hotels that share this beach own up some responsibility and ensure cleanliness on beach. Special mention for Gopal for wonderful conversation during dinner."Mathis Retreat: "Sehr schönes & ruhiges Resort"
Wir waren 3 Nächte im Mathis Retreat. Es war ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt! Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, der Pool ist klasse und bietet einen tollen Blick auf die Reisfelder. Restaurant und Frühstück waren klasse - man kann sich individuell à la Carte alles zusammenstellen. Wir hatten einen Bungalow der sehr schön war. 2x am Tag wurde sauber gemacht. Wir können das Mathis zu 100% weiterempfehlen
