Maison Polanka: "Tropical paradise with outstanding service"

We stayed here for our 30th wedding anniversary and had one of the most amazing few days of our lives. From the personalised greeting at the airport , our anniversary flowers, the welcome drink with lemongrass as a straw and the beautiful decoration throughout the property, it is such a special place. I haven't felt so spoilt since I was a child at my grandmother's house. We slept late one afternoon after an early start at the temples, so candles were light so I could take a late swim, fresh baked cakes are delivered to your sun bed as you swim and you are always greeted with a smile. Best hotel I have ever stayed in and I shall return.

Labyrinth: "Creative twist on Singapore favorites!"

"I had my eye on trying Restaurant Labyrinth for a while, but only decided to go after seeing the owner/chef profiled on the Food Heroes series (which is currently on Krisworld on Singapore Airlines). He was so passionate about showcasing a new twist on Singapore food, we had to try it. We visited on a Saturday night. All the guests appeared to be local. We tried the tasting menu. On an overall basis, the food was superb with very inventive twists to Singapore favorites. I loved the texture and the taste of Bak Chor Mee which was actually squid noodles with scallop, and also liked the Har Cheong porridge and the kaya butter toast. The beef satay however was a bit of a let down after all the other dishes as it didn't seem to have a lot of taste. Portion sizes were fine and I was very full at the end of the meal. The beverage menu was short. Service was pretty average however given the type of restaurant and prices, as was the ambiance. Overall, the restaurant was worthwhile trying for a special occasion for a unique twist on Singapore food."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Beautiful, Calm and Relaxing"

"Stayed here with family in the second week of May. Though not the best period to visit this place (it being peak summer).....we had initially planned for 2 Nights, but then extended our stay by one more Night. We had booked 7 villas and everyone of us had a wonderful time. Firstly, thanks to Allaah, who made this possible. He is the best of planners. The property is just beautiful, with well designed villas, top class hygiene and very warm and courteous staff. Everyone, right from Front Desk, House Keeping to the Restaurant are very courteous and friendly. And the F&B Manager and the GM go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. Look forward to visit again, Inshaa Allaah - (God Willing)."

SUMMERTIME VILLA: "Nice Place"

Satri House: "Wonderful hotel"

Satri House is simply a very special place. My husband and I stayed there three nights right before Christmas and couldn't have been happier. The hotel staff is very welcoming and warm; the property is gorgeous with amazing antique furniture, two pools and a very special design. The food in the restaurant is also excellent served in a patio like setting overlooking lush vegetation. Of all hotels we stayed at during our two week trip, Satri House was our favorite. Thank you!!

The Island Lodge: "personalized attention to detail. Authentic, charming decor. Warm, friendly, catering staff and owners"

In a weekend stay, the owners and staff were able to cater to our vegan meal requests, fully understood our likeness for authentic, natural, adventures and went out of their way to make our weekend special.. And we got to enjoy the first rated spa in our short stay!!

Maison Polanka: "A paradize"

Just a word: perfect! An outstanding service, a beautiful place, an excellent food, what else? All is done so that every thing becomes easy (use the hotel's tuc tuc!). Massage is a must do.A place very hard to leave.

MesaStila: "Historical Luxury"

"As we came into the front gate, the old time luxury greet us. Such as beautifully cared garden, antique train station, and grand colonial dutch building. If you are in to quietness and peaceful, this is you. The villas mostly are antique javanese houses. And we get the merapi view in the morning, very nice. Clean an comfortable. The rooms generally is large, even for the four of us. A bit pricy though. But it's worth it. Great service."

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Great Location! Great Hotel"

"We had a main floor room. It was large and so was the bathroom. Both the bed and the bathtub were high so there may be a problem for persons with mobility problems. Air conditioned plus a fan. Well kept and clean. The hotel was one short block from the main street where the monks come every morning. It was a ten minute walk to the night market and easy walking distance to many wats nearby. Also close to boats for river trips, especially sunset cruises. Breakfast for westerners consisted of juice, fruit, bacon and eggs, local french inspired bread and coffee. highly recommended. We got a great deal at US70.00 per night. Was worth more than that. Room Tip: All rooms face the river and a busy street which is not noisy after 10:00 at night."

Summertime Villa: "Beautiful Villa, Great Location"

"The villa is absolutely fantastic in terms of decor and amenities. Designed and built by the owners, every artifact in the house has been very carefully selected. It's a a beautiful home best experienced personally as no pictures can do justice to the beauty of the place. It's managed very professionally with very accomodating staff. The location though is the best part, just off main Calangute road with easy access to beaches, restaurants and other fun activities. Kudos to the owner Hans, who is an extremely warm person and knows a lot about hospitality and how to keep his guests comfortable."
