Cuisine Wat Damnak: "The best in siem reap"

we like to eat and i must say that this is one of the highlight of our trip in siem reap. for whatever reason if you are in siem reap. please put this restaurant in your list. absolutely amazing taste.

Glenburn Tea Estate: "It is a beautifully located property on the crest of a hill giving you a 360 degree view of all the hills around"

"This boutique hotel gives you the experience of complete tranquility, as it is situated in the middle of a tea estate surrounded by luxuriant greenery. The bird life, the changing cloud patterns and occasional rain immerses you in nature and your inner self. The staff is very obliging and attentive and the cuisine is delectable. A total experience."

Samanea Beach Resort: "Samanea. Lovelier the Second Time"

"I fell in love with Samanea two years ago. So many improvements have been made since. The villa, service, staff, food are delightfully better. Still, the best part is the serenity Samanea offers. The view is as breathtaking as I remember it. The sunset is simply spectacular. It’s family-friendly,too. A family brought their infant with them, and another had a toddler. Seeing them added to the natural beauty of the place. It says a lot how amazing this place is. Over-all, Samanea is a must-see, must- experience destination. When you leave, you’ll find yourself promising to come back. And you will. I did."

Locavore: "The food were bold, well executed, well thought of,"

"Initially I was just curious about this restaurant in Ubud that people and media were talking about, and decided to give it a try. I went there for lunch and tried their 7 dishes (which turned out to be almost 14 dishes in total!). The food were bold, well executed, well thought of, and full of passion and love. It is as if they are not being humble at all, they are making a statement, what coming out from the kitchen is not just usual dishes we eat every day, it is extraordinary. I saw all chefs are busy in the kitchen, and they are quite mobile as they make time to go to our table and explain about each and every dish. I believe this is something we don’t see often in similar restaurant in Bali, maybe in Singapore or Hong Kong, but Bali? I dont think so. Service team looks impeccable, they dress up casual yet very neat and they are very professional too. When it comes to the price, a restaurant this caliber could have charged arms and legs, but this one surprisingly worth the whole experience (it was 850k++/pax ) Having had a great, memorable and satisfying lunch in Locavore, Ubud, it has set for me a high standard of a posh lunch should be, and by far the best lunch I ever had in such a long time. So, if you plan to try them, make a booking at least 3 weeks in advance, if you are lucky."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "“Relax and revive – the perfect place.”"

"We arrived in the dark after a tiring ten-hour car drive from Kochi and I thought I heard thunder. In fact it was the Arabian Sea pounding the extensive beach and in the morning we could see this magical place. A healthy breakfast on the beach and we were ready to relax. Many have given full positive descriptions so I don’t need to repeat those and the web site is accurate. Instead I will highlight just a few things that impressed me. I now have to watch my diet carefully and the wholemeal breads, fresh fruits, variety of fish are perfect. The menu includes various juices and I went for spinach but asked for some ginger too; I bet that will be on the list next time. All the food is superb, healthy and interesting. The aerial sketch on the website does not do it justice; there are many palm trees and the gardens are quite beautiful, spacious and well maintained. Contrary to some other comments I would recommend a sea view cottage without hesitation. There are only 18 cottages and they are carefully arranged; the peace is almost tangible. In fact the whole place has been designed by a skilful hand with great attention to detail and that includes the cottage interiors. Anyone who reads my reviews will know that I look at issues that might be relevant to those with mobility problems. There are a few steps to each cottage but the pathways should be OK. Internally the doors have very strong springs and help would be needed. For those with weak knees or limited use of limbs may find the bathroom a bit difficult. As a retired architect I know how it grates to put in grab handles. I hope the owners will consider seriously putting one close to the WC and another in the wonderful non-slip shower area. These things are important for those in need but I must emphasise that standard of design is very high. I wanted a full Ayurvedic body massage and had three; all were excellent. All that others have said about the atmosphere, management, welcoming and helpful staff etc. I endorse. No one could want for anything more. My wife and I seriously considered extending our week-long stay which is a testament in itself. Room Tip: Sea view cottage but all seemed very good."

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Leopard safari"

This was a wonderful experience in a jungle camp site. Unforgettable and Sarge was a terrific ranger, cannot thank him enough. Outside eating under the stars. Leopards, a. Bear, a jackal, peacocks crocodiles etc. so exciting.

Tugu Malang: "I didn’t stay here but had 1 lunch, 1 dinner, and the hotel tour with Ibu Poppy"

"If there's one regret I had in my Malang trip is NOT booking this hotel. It is Super amazing. You see, I've travelled in Indonesia extensively for work and play and one of my woes is the lack of seamless service beyond Bali. Well, Hotel Tugu Malang meets superb global standards and more. The minute I stepped in (flabbergasted from the icky Rumah Makn Inggil) I was warmly welcomed by Ibu Poppy. Even if I wasn't staying she warmly invited me in to the lunch area. I took photos around the beautiful hotel and she volunteered to give me a tour of the hotel and tea after! Everyone speaks impeccable English. Food arrives fast. Yes this is a big deal in Indonesia!!!! If you have been here Long enough you'll understand my delight. Thank you so much for everyone's warm hospitality, the reasonably priced yummy meals, the free tour and tea. Malang is not easy to get to from where I live, but if I go back to Malang - it's Tugu Malang or nothing!"

Tugu Bali: "Mr Roni Braitanbaum"

"It was an amazing experience . The staff were so professional and polite and try all the time to make sure we are ok . The variety of art collection is amazing .The facilities were so comfortable and clean . The rooms were very large with outdoor shower and fish pond . The food was great. I highly recommend to stay in the Bali Tugu."

Nimmu House: "Unfrogettable experience"

"We were therefrom May 12 to 15th 2017. If you like authenticity, hospitality, getting a sense about how live Laddak people, be part of a sustainable way to travel, it is THE place to be. Not a 5* hotel; you have to switch on your hot water boiler! But you will like sleeping and eating in a old, refurbished Laddaki house; seating on the terrasse under the stars and around the fire; enjoying talks with the locals. Food is excellent; and they 'll organize touring, rafting, trekking if you have not. And you will love the warming pan the staff would have put in your bed while having your diner. Just awesome! Refreshing, relaxing, out of time...... and deconnected. Do not expect a regular WiFi internet connection, but this has nothing to do with the lodge management. Local telecoms company issue!!!!"

The Village House: "Juweeltje , aanrader"

"We hebben hier 3 nachten vertoefd. Een oase van rust ( behalve de moskee met de roep voor het gebed ) Wij hadden de suite, met zeer groot balkon. Het eten is zeer goed. Personeel uitermate vriendelijk. Het internet is traag en niet op de kamer. Aanrader!"
