Tugu Bali: "The best hotel I’ve ever stayed in"
We absolutely loved this hotel! Luxury without being commercialized. It was a splurge for us but worth every penny! We stayed in a Dedari Suite and it was amazing- huge, comfortable, beautifully decorated, full of charm, and the bathroom- what a dream! Outdoor shower/bath with fish swimming in koi pond. The private plunge pool was great! The location of the hotel can't be beat- one of the few actually on the beach in Canggu. We were able to walk out our door and surf at 2 great breaks (Old Man's and Batu Balong). The staff and service were top notch- anything you wanted and more! Special thank you to Putu, who went above and beyond to ensure our happiness. Next time I am in Bali I will definitely stay here again!The Village House: "Your own little village"
"I loved our stay at the Village House! First, just to make it clear, the Village House is NOT in the actual city of Kuching. It’s in Santubong Village, which I believe was about a 30 minute cab ride from Kuching. I didn’t experience much of Kuching, but I can tell you that being outside of the city felt very nice to my girlfriend and I. As we arrived during low season, my girlfriend and I had this wonderful little place virtually to ourselves. The rooms are not large and somewhat basic, but they were still comfortable. If you are a late starter or like to lounge in your room during the day, the rooms do get quite hot. A better option is to read, work, or internet surf by the pool and take an occasional dip to keep cool. The pool….beautiful. It’s not huge so I am unsure what it is like in high season, but my girlfriend and I shared some wonderful experiences there, including taking a swim during a tropical rainstorm. The design of the property is wonderful and it really does give you a feel that you are in your own village. It is well maintained and cared after by the staff. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, even for my sometimes demanding partner…oi! But I digress…they always did a nice job arranging transportation. We actually arrived when the governor of Sarawak had passed away so several companies stopped running in acknowledgment of the passing. This left us stranded on one excursion. But the staff stopped what they were doing and provided us transportation themselves. That was very kind and we were very grateful. Activities are not too far away. As a matter of fact, for some you are much closer than you would be in Kuching, like the Sarawak Cultural Village, Kuching Wetland National Park, Mt. Santubong, and the AMAZING Bako National Park. I highly recommend the Village House for your stay, especially if you are looking for a peaceful little haven. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"JL Studio: "精緻新穎的新加坡料理"
喜歡新加坡料理,又愛奇巧精緻的食客無法錯過的去處,每道菜色都頗具巧思,味美之外又結合特製餐具,擺盤道道賞心悅目。這是一個值得細細品味的用餐場所,也是個犒賞味蕾的好去處。Satri House: "A dive in to relaxation, strongly recommended"
"As you go in the Satri House you start to feel this ""aura"" of relaxation. The beautiful Prince house and all the other buildings in the same French colonial style immerse in a well maintained gardens and all the art-craft and decoration really had a huge impact on me. I had 4 nights in a deluxe room and got a nice upgraded to a suite for the last 2 nights. Suite comes with both shower and bath and is beautifully decorated. Food was delicious, my favorite is the roast duck in red curry! Service need some language improvement here and there but overall there is always someone coming to assist if they notice there is a bit of miss-communication. going on.. I didn't try the Spa neither the swimming pool, a bit too cold for me but people coming from European winter they did enjoyed the pool. Overall well done Satri House!"Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"
Wonderful location and impeccable service. The clubhouse offers good, locally Thai food and the breakfasts are great. The houses are clean, well furnished, and some have great views of the andaman sea Also great if you´re travelling alone. The best part was experienciing moonlight over the beautiful island bay. Simple luxury. Time to relax.Nimmu House: "Amazing retreat, fine food and service"
"This incredible property is the perfect place to base a Ladakh itinerary from. We spent our first 4 days there to acclimatize. Tents are very luxurious and were perfect for our family of four. The property has a 'Provence in Ladakh' feel to it. Very European. All staff were wonderful. It felt like we had forged new friendships that will endure. Food is incredibly fresh and was a real highlight for us. The hotel staff helped to make all arrangements for activities - and there's a lot to do in the area!! I really cant recommend this property high enough. It is one of the best that we have stayed in in many years."Maduzi Hotel: "Excellent"
Maduzi Hotel is a charming boutique hotel that has its customers in mind in every minute detail. Allow me to share what's excellent in this hotel: 1. Location - near the BTS Asok station and Terminal 21, just 5 minutes walking distance. 2. Flexible - hotel can adjust the time of your check out; this is especially good if you're catching an evening flight. 3. Big spacious and cozy room with a comfortable king size bed and fluffy pillows. Just note that the toilet / bathroom are open and do not have a door. 4. Complimentary mini bar that they replenish daily! This hotel is very generous. 5. Complimentary drinks can be claimed any time during your stay, and also unlimited hot / cold drinks at the bar which is perfect after a long day outside touring or shopping. This is always a welcome treat! 6. Jacuzzi a plus, though the hotel does not have a swimming pool facility but every little detail and care in this hotel compensates for the lack of it. 7. Staff is very helpful and commendable for giving excellent customer service. 8. Breakfast menu is varied and plated well, with unlimited salad and fruit bar. 9. You must try their vegetable shot offered during breakfast! They offer a concoction of fresh vegetable juices for US$1.5 per glass. This hotel is commendable, worth staying and recommending!Reverie Siam: "Fabulous honeymoon stay!"
My husband and I spent 5 nights at this hotel and it was wonderful. The hotel has been opened less than a year and feels immaculate. There are so many positives about this place. The design of the hotel and gardens, the very conscientious staff that make you feel special, the high quality finish of the rooms and the superb breakfasts. The hotel is not crowded and so the swimming pool area is very private we often had the pool entirely to ourselves. A nice touch was a free glass of wine or bubbly during some of our evening meals. There was live music on 3 nights of the five we stayed which we enjoyed. We had a fantastic chef board one evening in the restaurant which was delicious. The only thing that would make this hotel even better would perhaps be spa or massage treatments. There aren't fantastic spas in the area and as the hotel has such pretty gardens that would have been lovely. A wonderful hotel, stay here you won't regret it!Neeleshwar Hermitage: "outstanding"
A peaceful, comforatble place in which to be restored. A wonderful beach and a great sea of small, and very warm, waves for the children to bound in. The food here is the best of India, the servants unobtrusive but caring. The tailor in the shop makes excellent clothes in a night. One of the best places we have found.REVERIE SIAM: "A wonderful escape"
"We stayed 2 nights in the family villa and absolutely loved it. The thought and style put into the room was obvious from the cool little pieces or art to the location of plenty of power points and towel racks. Staff was fantastic and the included breakfast far exceeded our expectations. Also the little things, like a cell phone for our use while in town and the free shuttle service from the property to town were greatly appreciated and showed us a new level of customer service. We stayed during low season so the rate was very reasonable, if you can afford it, the value for money here is as good as I've ever had! "
