Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A museum as a hotel, a hotel as a museum"
"Traveller, once you come to Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia, male sure that you geh accomodation in this marvellous Hotel. Never Met a friendlier ans Most helpful straff, especially the ladies at the reception. The interior is original, the rooms arge large, so arge the bathrooms. Theres is only one suggestion: make netter barriers to avoid Museum visitors entering the Hotel Part. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Reverie Siam Pai: "Delightful hotel"
We had a four day stay at the Reverie Siam with my elderly parents and two month old baby. The staff were excellent - very kind and flexible when it came to accommodating our baby. I felt comfortable breastfeeding in the restaurant and by the pool which was a massive bonus for me since I didn't have to hole myself up alone to feed. The rooms were beautiful and we loved the jacuzzis. The pools are lovely and we were lucky that the hotel wasn't too crowded - we had sun loungers every day. One thing that was slightly disappointing was the food. Although reasonably priced, I was sad that the meals were not exactly generous in size. The pizzas were especially tiny! Someone is very good at writing menus because everything sounded delicious, but nothing really lived up to its description. Breakfast was big - two dishes, a hot drink, and a juice, but again, the taste just wasn't quite there. All in all though, we had a really great stay and will definitely return if we can.Tugu Bali: "tranquil, beautiful hotel with impeccable service"
Absolutely loved this hotel. So well looked after by the gorgeous staff. Fabulous food with breakfast served anywhere anytime in your choice of private enclaves around the hotel. It was a peaceful & beautifully appointed hotel that has tons of Indonesian charm - stunning gardens & antiques. Husband & son were happy to go out surfing, but I didn't want to leave the tranquility of Tugu.Tugu Bali: "Authentic Bali"
"This hidden juwel is decorated with the most beautiful antiques from Ancient Indonesia, lots of lush greens and an extremely helpfull staff, and the best in room dining experience - really amazing - order the nasi campur, and you will be happy. I stayed in a small villa with a private pool and was happy."Tugu Bali: "Simply Amazing"
"Absolutely loved this place. It was the first of 3 hotels we stayed at over 2 weeks in Bali and although the others were exceptional (e.g. Alila Uluwatu) Hotel Tugu holds a very special place in our hearts. The service was faultless - genuine and friendly from the very start, there were so many special moments, made all the more special by the fantastic team - whether it was someone running to give us a towel on the beach, or making our romantic dinner on the raised beds outside so special, or making sure our tea was how we like it. The food is great too - go for the Indonesian food (which makes up most of the menu). We liked wandering around the local area to find drinks and food but often ended up coming back to the hotel as the food was so good. They've also just recently opened a Japanese restaurant which was good too - especially for cocktails up on the balcony watching the world go by. Speaking of the local area, there's a great beach for chilling, surfing and walking along, some good shops set back from the beach, and a busy bar just across from the hotel entrance. We stayed in Le Mayeur suite which is a raised house on a lily pond. Huge rooms, private mini-pool, and semi-outdoor bath amongst everything else. You get to the suite via a couple of raised wooden walkways over the lilies. One of the walkways is private for the Le Mayeur suite and an excellent place to enjoy the delicious breakfasts. The whole hotel (including the room) is full of antiques, which makes for a very special feel. It was probably the most calming hotel we've every stayed in. Someone is building a block of flats next door - I hope it doesn't impact Hotel Tugu's calm and serenity too much as it really was perfect. I guess we'll find out next year when we return!"MesaStila: "I Love This Resort"
"I had a wonderful time at this hidden jem of Indonesia. This Central java's coffee-plantation-turned-resort is so lovely. I just loved every minute I spent there and hated the moment I had to leave the resort. Villa was nicely done in Javanese style, food was good (serving tended to be on a slow side, though - may be suitable for a leisurely resort time?), service was responsive, attentive and nicely done, the place was kept very neat and clean. The place with 22 hectare coffee plantation is something must see. I learned a lot about my favorite drink called coffee here. Thank you for all the service that made my stay wonderful. Keep at it!"The Island Lodge: "Serenity"
"Recently went here a second time and it pure bliss. The resort is stunning, beautifully designed accompanied by good service and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere. We live in Saigon and we usually travel outside the country when we have any spare time but we make time to come to Island Lodge because it's that's great. We're actually going for our third visit in less than a week. Can't wait. "Mathis Retreat: "Fantastic property"
"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..!"Inle Princess Resort: "Stunning"
Just arriving at the hotel is a journey itself! Sailing through the lake and watching the fishermen and the village is stunning. The rooms are very spacious, but being in the forest makes you encounter spiders and lizards sometimes. The staff is always helpful and friendly. They have an interesting dinner with Burmese music.4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Unique Experience"
"Had a really amazing and unique stay in this floating hotel. The hotel is a 30 minute boat ride from the road and so is very isolated and with only 12 Tents for guests it is very peaceful. A place to slow down and contemplate the quieter life. "
