"If you are travelling for the first time to Ubud.. Think no further and just book this place.. When u reach seek out the manager Karen and ask her for advice.. She will help you plan your entire trip, from great bike tour, to restaurant suggestions and even massage booking.. She will tell you the best places.. And then just enjoy your trip.. The staff is attentive and pampers you.. The rooms are big and perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure around Ubud.. The food at the restaurant Terra cotta is calming and refreshing at the same time.. Look no further.. This is the place..!"Tugu Lombok: "Still dreaming of Hotel Tugu"
"We spent a wonderful week in Hotel Tugu during our first visit to Lombok. We went as a family (with our young son and my parents visiting from UK). The staff provided some of the best service we've had since we moved to Indonesia and they were so welcoming, sincere, attentive and helpful (especially with our son!). The rooms are beautifully rustic but have everything you might need. Some of our most memorable experiences included doing a couple of day trips snorkelling with sea turtles next to the Gilis (with the hotel's own boatman who was very experienced and a great guide). We also borrowed sea canoes for a couple of evening paddles in the bay and spent long afternoons playing on the beach and in the swimming pools with our son. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner were all delicious... and best of all the staff can serve dinner virtually anywhere you want on the beach, on the grass under the stars, on your balcony or in one of the 2 restaurants. I would highly recommend booking the 'Royal Cultural Dining' experience for one evening when you go."Villa Song Saigon: "Saigons Gem"
This hotel sited amongst the old colonial French homes of District 2 is worth the short drive from the centre .... surrounded by lush gardens, riverside dining, pool and spa all make this a gem to stay in away from the hustle and bustle of SaigonChakrabongse Villas: "The perfect oasis in the heart of Old Bangkok"
I have used tripadvisor to plan trips for years, but our magical time at the Chakrabongse Villas has finally inspired me to write a review of my own. We could not have found a more perfect place to spend the final 3 days of a 2 week trip to SE Asia. Atom, the manager, and her staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful in making our stay in Bangkok so special, and upgraded us to the Garden View Suite, which was lovely. Tucked away in beautiful, lush gardens right on the banks of the Chao Praya river and directly across from Wat Pho and a short distance to the Grand Palace, the Chakrabongse Villas, is truly a hidden gem. Being in the heart of Old Bangkok meant that we could return to the hotel for a quick dip in the gorgeous pool to cool off from the infamous Bangkok heat before heading out for the next excursion. I highly recommend arranging to have dinner at the Chakrabongse Villas for an unforgettable experience - the dinner we had with a private table set up on the terrace right next to the river was the most romantic, and one of the most delicious, we've ever had (the owner is a descendant of the Thai kings Rama IV & V so the dishes are from the Royal Family's own recipes). We also enjoyed our tour of Bangkok's canals in the Chakrabongse Villa's own long tail boat. If you are looking for the perfect boutique hotel that offers a peaceful, historical oasis in hectic and hot Bangkok, then I cannot recommend Chakrabongse Villas highly enough. Thank you, Atom, for helping to make our stay so extraordinary.Inle Princess Resort: "A Magical Location"
This hotel is on Lake Inle and the arrival by lake boat with the traditional leg rower is truly unforgettable. Our room was right on the lakeside with a verandah with easy chairs and loungers. The wildlife comes to you. The staff were brilliant, even managing breakfast at 5 in the morning on two occasions. Restaurant was spacious with very attentive staff. There was the option of eating outside on the verandah. Lanterns, torches and mosquito repellent were provided. Nothing was too much trouble.Manda De Laos: "Amazing restaurant"
This is the most beautiful restaurant that we've been. Very nice set up with a beautiful garden. Relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The food is so delicious and tasty with traditional flavor.Villa Song: "Great service"
the hotel looks absolutely gorgeous. The original room they gave us smelt like damp but they quickly changed our rooms as soon as we raised the issue. The service was great and they will cater to your every needs, we had an early morning flight (7am) meaning we had to leave at 5am and the chef made us take away sandwiches. It’s the little details that count!Talabgaon Castle Heritage Resort: "Beautifull interesting hotel."
"We only spent one night at the hotel, but I wish we had spent more time here. We arrived in the evening and had dinner by the pool, it was wonderful. The room was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved the nearby village, a step back in time. Highly recommended !"Supanniga Eating Room: "Great Food that makes me wanna be a Thai"
I just can't take my eyes off the menu, huge variety of dishes and hold on, what is this? How come I have never seen such kind of food in BKK restaurants? My eyes just open wide when the friendly staffs serve the dishes on the table. Just love how the food is arranged meticulously on Thai-style plate. Truly authentic Thai recipes, simple ingredients but overwhelming taste. Could suppaniga launch cooking class? :PInle Princess Resort: "parfait , à recommander"
"lieu magnifique , personnel très courtois et disponible, jardins bien entretenus , fin de sérénité avec un coucher de soleil sublime,à voir les jardins flottants et bien sûr le lac . je recommande fortement"Travel Asia with Secret Retreats
