Flower Island: "Pristine paradise"

Review by: Sebastien C | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 2 nights at flower island resort and loved every minute! The corals surrounding the island are stunning and thriving with life. We saw a turtle on our first snorkelling just a few metres away from the beach. The visibility is great, around 20-25m and there is plenty of fish. Our cottage had a direct access onto the beach with a beautiful view (especially for sunset). The staff on the island is very friendly, they even prepared a last minute dance show for us on our last evening there. We also had the chance to visit one of the pearl farms nearby, a fascinating industry. This place is a true paradise, we did not want to leave. Thank you flower island resort for such an amazing time."

Arumdalu: "Best so far on the island"

Review by: Suryo W | Source: Trip Advisor
"Im giving 5 as this is the best one so far on the island. They have to aware that it is easy to beat them if there is another villa compound opening on the island. The villa is big, toiletries is good, but there is no mirror in the bathroom. The private pool is refreshing, overlooking the forest. The food though is amazing. They took it very seriously. Great job for the chef. But the staffs at the restaurant need to level up their standard, both knowledge and service level. The beach is stunning. They should maintain the complex very well, otherwise it runs down fast."

David’s Kitchen: "Amazing food and friendly staff"

Review by: Bonnie E | Source: Trip Advisor
"Our meal at David's Kitchen was a fantastic experience. David and his staff were very welcoming and David came straight over to introduce himself to us. He told us a little bit about the restaurant and his family and was interested to hear where we had travelled from. The waiters and waitresses were helpful and recommended us options from the menu. The food and wine was absolutely delicious, especially the cheesy gnocchi! Dessert did not disappoint. Although we were full, we couldn't resist the chocolate lava cake and banana crepe! The staff kindly organized us a taxi back to our hotel. We were really glad we made the trip to Davids Kitchen and would highly recommend it when in Chiang Mai! Thank you David and all the staff who made our night so enjoyable!"

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise on earth"

Review by: A TripAdvisor Member | Source: Trip Advisor
"Me and my partner booked GBBR initially for only four days as we hadn't been to the island before but we got a recommendation from a local yoga teacher so we decided to give it a go. After we took a long boat from Kuraburi, we arrived to a pristine little bay welcomed by Golden Buddha team who immediately made us feel at home and showed us around the absolutely stunning resort. It's paradise! We've never seen a beach so long, clean and empty and sea so beautiful! The sand may not be white but this definitely is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. The resort is also absolutely stunning, with a beautiful restaurant and gorgeous breakfast every morning, drinking fresh coconut juice while overlooking the sea :) Saturday nights are magical, the resort organised a bonfire on the beach with cocktails and then the most delicious seafood BBQ. The accommodation consists of different styled wooden houses, each of them with a unique design and hidden around so you always feel like you're alone in nature. What makes the whole experience even more special is the whole team at the resort, and especially Massi and Teresa , who manage the resort and took care of absolutely every single request we had and always made us feel like special guests. So the initial 4 days ended up being three weeks and we didn't want to leave even then."

Tugu Bali: "Best Beef Range Dang"

Review by: Linda S | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stopped here for lunch on a Kombi Tour and the staff were super friendly and attentive, even bringing my son out some calamine lotion for a rash they noticed he had. The food and cocktails were awesome, there is a pool to swim with towels provided. There are also raised day beds to chill out and view the beach across the road. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

A very relaxing place with great gardens and pool. Excellent restaurant and choices of food. Room was very large and comfortable. Good bathroom. Out of town but still only 15 minutes away by speedboat or a bit longer by taxi.

MesaStila: "Super attentive staff!"

Review by: Devyta W | Source: Trip Advisor
"I rarely write a review for hotels but MesaStila definitely deserves an excellent review! You can read others' review about the breathtaking views and comfortable villas but here i want to praise the staff for how attentive they are! I lost a ring there and just realized it after i left MesaStila and arrived in Semarang. So i called them and i didn't even ask them to look for my ring (because it's very silly to bother the staffs to look for a ring in a 22 hectares estate), i only told them that i lost my ring and just in case anyone sees it, i would appreciate if they let me know, so i left my number. An hour after that, they called me and they said they looked everywhere and found my ring on a floor at the club house! I don't even know how they managed to find it but they did, and they couriered it to me the next day. Can you believe... Would totally recommend MesaStila for everyone, especially for those who often left their stuffs at hotels ;)"
