tugu malang: "Luxury and services are beyond expectation"
"I was there only for a day and wish to come back soon. The room was impecable, perfect with a touch of personal welcome in a card. Our room facing the front hotel but not noisy at all. The bedsheet was super clean and it was a standard five hotel services and facility. The amenities was not much but enough. Small pool but convenient enough for children. Good selection of breakfast with some a la carte menu. The hospitality is unbelievably super friendly. A typical warm small size five star hotel that you would never experience in a big busy hotel. This hotel was beautiful in a an outdated way, and you may find it quite spooky at the back part, but for some, it may be the point of attraction. "Anopura: "Still wonderful"
"We returned to Anopura after three years, and enjoyed it just as much as before. The remote setting is wonderful, the accommodation is excellent, and Ishwar and his team provide a wonderful service. Breakfast by the pool, lunch in the shade and dinner under the stars are all delightful, with fresh local ingredients. On a walk with Ishwar we got to meet some of the producers of the food we'd eaten in the days before. After five hectic weeks in Rajasthan this was a marvellous way to finish our trip. We would love to return again. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion Logo Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "An amazing, surreal place to stay."
The Blue Mansion is such an amazing place to stay. You feel as though you've stepped back in time, while taking all the comforts from modern society with you. The staff here were amazing and really went out of their way to make the stay special. The beds were super comfortable and the room extremely clean.Tugu Bali: "Excellent romantic artistic getaway"
"The history and art of this exclusive hotel is very interesting. The staff can tell you even more about the art. The hotel is beautiful and gives you al the freedom and serenity you need. After a year of hard work, we arrived in Bali and stayed at the Tugu hotel the first couple of days. Our room had a perfect beach view with an incredible sunset. Just WOW. Waking up with the rhythm of the waves in the back ground is so relaxing... From the moment we arrived we found that peace and holiday feeling we have been waiting for for so long. Everybody of the staff is very polite and gives you the feeling that you are special, that you are welcome, that you are their number one priority. They give you the attention you need. Not to little not to much. Excellent job every one. A special thank for you, Arie. You have been so nice and so friendly. You did the extra mile for us. Terima kasih dari Amsterdam. Canggu becomes more and more popular - which is a good thing. And just out of the hotel you'll find some nice bars and cool hangouts (also on the beach). Unfortunately that becomes some kind of a mismatch with the serenity and calmness the Tugu hotel has so well mastered."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!Cuca: "Amazing food"
We enjoyed a romantic dinner here in the garden. Beautiful restaurant and grounds. Staff are super friendly and helpful. They guided us through each item we ordered. Tapas were outstanding. Price is high for Bali but worth it for the quality of food, taste, presentation and experience!Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Another world"
Incredible concept to support the local economy. Wonderful and gracious service in one of the best settings on the lake. Food was plentiful and tasty. One hour boat ride from the jetty but fairly central to attractions on the lake.Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Fantastic camping experience and safari – highlight of our trip"
"We stayed two nights at the campsite and had a fabulous time! Our camp hosts were fantastically welcoming and attentive and looked after our every need. The attention to detail at the campsite and cleanliness of our tent was excellent and the flushing toilet was an unexpected luxury! On the safari drives we were lucky enough to see 4 leopards, a sloth bear, elephants and many more animals and beautiful birds - it was incredible being able to get so close to these wild animals! Dhanu our guide was very knowledgeable of all the wildlife and helping with our photography. In camp, the food and variety was fantastic - some of the best we had during our 3 week stay in Sri Lanka and our hosts were even kind enough to give us the recipe for our favourite eggplant curry! A fabulous experience which was the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka - cannot recommend highly enough to others!!"Villa Song Saigon: "Luxury stay in District 2"
"The most important thing for travellers to know is that District 2 is a fair ways from the centre of HCMC. However, the free shuttle boat ride along the river to the central docks was one of the highlights of staying at Villa Song. On the way back (the last return boat is around 7pm) you can easily hail an Uber for less than $10USD. When we first checked in, we were given room 101 which was small and dark. After speaking with the front desk, we were quickly moved to a room on the 3rd floor that was much bigger and full of light without any questions asked. That generally sums up the service: excellent. The included breakfast is also a real highlight, although recommend waking up early as it gets very hot by 9am. The hotel can also help organize boat trips to the Chu Chi tunnels with La Reve where the boat picks you up right from the hotel. Room Tip: Nothing on the 1st floor"Rachamankha: "Real and Unique Lanna"
"The hotel was very nice with the unique Lanna combining with Chinois design and decoration. The place is clean, serene and peaceful. Just like i was walking in another world and time paused. The staffs were so helpful and gave me very warm welcome. The hotel is located behind Phra Singh temple where is the heart of old city area in central Chiang Mai. It's very to promenade the cultural sight-seeing. Also it's very easy to go to Sunday weekend market for your intersting Thai and handcrafted arts snd souvenirs. If i have a chance, i surely go back to stay here."
