The River Resort: "Great hotel"
This is a great place and we really enjoy our stay here. The hotel is very nice with amazing river view from all rooms. breakfast is included with many options. Staff is very professional and attentive with very good EnglishInle Princess Resort: "Exquisite"
"The place was soooo breath-taking in a peaceful way, we did not want to leave the room for going around. Elegant in design, perfection in details, the service quality is top-nudge, the rooms are spacious, comfortable, thoughtfully designed (we loved the shower outdoors) and simply beautiful... This comes in the heavenly view to the lake, which is isolated from the touristy crowd, and they made an effort to reduce the noise as well by not allowing the very noisy motors of the boats to run at a certain distance... (If anything, wifi strength in the rooms was deviating; but then again, all connections outside of bug cities in Myanmar is tricky; and I was happy to be disconnected for the 2 days, just to enjoy the beauty of the location) Simply gorgeous"Tugu Malang: "Superb hotel"
"After staying at a different Tugu Hotel in Lombok I decided to stay here while wanting to visit Mount Bromo. The staff and service here as well as food was excellent! Also the Spa if you are a couple go for the couple's option of 4 hour massage treatment as it's well worth it to try out. If you are wanting to visit Mount Bromo the hotel can arrange a private Jeep to take you there and back which is great and the guide and the driver were very helpful and super polite. Certainly make this a consideration if you are visiting Malang. Just to let you know that its around 2.5hrs drive from Surabaya to the hotel which they can arrange for you too."MesaStila: "Must-visit place for nature lovers, coffee lovers, & traditional Java-Dutch royal lovers"
We fell in love since we arrived at the gate of Mesa Stila. My older daughter (6 yo) said it's just like her dream castle :) the concierge, lobby, and the villa were beautiful as well as overall resort landscape. The staff's service was impressive & very helpful. We enjoyed the coffee plantation tour, beautiful afternoon tea, bicycle riding for my two-daughters, swimming, and quality breakfast indeed. My daughters did not want to go home after stay, so did I and my husband actually haha. Mesa Stila is exactly the place to spend quality time with your beloved. Thank you for the great service!Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise does exist! And it is golden."
"Your jet lag and tiredness begin to melt away the moment you board the boat at Kuraburi (about a couple of hours by road from Phuket) but as you glide into the palm-fringed bay beach of the resort itself you really do have to pinch yourself that you have not just fallen asleep and are dreaming. Simply imagine the most beautiful beach you can and you'll probably still not match the reality! You can see why some call this place 'undiscovered'. If you are looking for complete relaxation - away from the constant communication of modern life this place is for you. Chill and relax with a lime soda! But the resort while maintaining an authentic air (the open air bathrooms and wide stilted verandas of the various houses (Baans) being just a couple) also manages to exude luxury and the clubhouse does have internet for those that need some contact with the outside world. The perfect mix! There are also plenty of trips (safari to the interior of the island, fishing and batik making) if lying on a beach is not 100% your thing. The food is brilliant and I'd challenge anyone not be able to construct a menu to their taste from the wide range on offer. The cocktails are also excellent - especially when bought at happy hour (6-7 pm) to watch the sun set over the Andaman Sea from the clubhouse balcony. The resort is super well-managed with Massi and Theresa (who speak about ten languages between them) to the fore and the owner, Valerie, also about to help answer questions. Nothing is too much trouble and standards are very high. The Thai staff are wonderful too and you sense have bought into the ethos of the place. If you visit the Golden Buddha Beach Resort you'll not just have a great holiday you'll make friends I am sure. 5 stars is almost not enough . . .I have high standards and the Golden Buddha Beach Resort exceeded them all. This is a must go see place - you'll not be disappointed."Mrauk U Princess Resort: "A lush oasis in a dusty town"
"The Mrauk U Princess Resort is a lovely property and a wonderful place to retreat to after a long day of sightseeing and visiting the incredible and unspoiled historic temples in Mrauk U. Mrauk U itself is a dusty and bustling town and the temples are worth the long trip. The hotel arranged for a car to meet us at the Sittwe Airport for a three-hour drive and we availed ourselves of a peaceful ride back to Sittwe on one of the hotel's large motorboats. The five-hour journey included an excellent lunch and was an enjoyable way to see the riverfront views and a peaceful way to travel. The hotel is comprised of a number of authentic villas created completely by hand of carved teak in the local style. Furnished with local fabrics and decor, each is a mix of modern conveniences and Rakhine authenticity. There's also a unique swimming pool, set down in the middle of a pond. The dining facilities, bar and public accommodations are spacious and the very helpful and friendly staff anticipates your every need. The food is excellent and the spa offers a full range of massage and other services. The hotel arranged an excellent guide and tour of the historic temples by Tuk Tuk as well as home-made croissants and coffee at dawn on the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise over the mountains. Getting to Mrauk U takes some time, but it's definitely worth the trip. The Mrauk U Princess is a wonderful and welcoming retreat and is highly recommended."Villa Song Saigon: "Phenomenal hotel"
Cannot speak highly enough of this gem of a hotel. Location, room, food, service - all absolutely formidable. Will be recommending to any friends heading to HCM. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable, you have a wonderful team of staff.The Village House: "Relaxing and chill"
Seemingly in the middle of nowhere this hotel was a complete surprise to me. The staff were all incredibly friendly and really helpful with arranging things such as going to the national parks, when the shuttle bus didn't come the boss drove us himself. All the food was fantastic as where the cocktails, highly recommend this place.friendlyReverie Siam: "An experience to remember"
Reverie Siam will always be a very special place for my mother and I. As soon as we arrived we were transported, this place is so much more than a hotel. Every detail has been thought about, the staff were always one step ahead of us. A special thank you to Mr Sabastian for making each night so lovely, we thank you for your talent and experience. To Toffy for your humor and care, we looked forward to seeing you every morning. There is no doubt we will be back to visit you again and will recommend this oasis to all the special people in our lives. Thank you!Cuca: "Our all time favourite restaurant"
