Villa Mathis: "Incredible stay"

Review by: Cole R | Source: Trip Advisor
Everything was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend the Borneo suite and the "romantic package." The massages are incredible as well! The manager, Chris, and all of the staff are extremely friendly and bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and more than comfortable. Even when we weren't staying the night, we came back to Villa Mathis just to swim, relax, have massages and eat. The perfect Balinese experience.

Yandabo Home: "A tranquil stopover"

Review by: aljweir | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed one night to break our ferry journey from Bagan to Mandalay and it was an unexpected highlight! The rooms and facilities were spacious and luxurious but it was the staff that helped to make this stop over such a delight. Thanks especially to Linn Khine Phyo who arranged our trip over the river to the water buffalo village and accompanied us to the pottery village next door, nothing was too much trouble for her. We would highly recommend Yandabo Home if you are considering breaking the ferry trip."

Tugu Lombok: "peaceful, wonderful, memorable"

Review by: dswastiana | Source: Trip Advisor
"I was very lucky, because I won Tugu Raffle ticket in 2015, and we could stay for free for 2 nights at any Tugu Properties, and we choose Tugu Lombok. And we couldn't be happier. Even though we stayed there for free, the Tugu People didnt treat us any less than their high standard of service. I ve stayed at Tugu Malang few times,been to all their restaurants in Jakarta, so I have experienced of how good their services were, but tugu lombok service was exceptionally great! from the moment we arrived, we were greeted by lovely Sharron, their GM, mba Hani, the manager, and pak Hendri.. all of them were calling us by first name during our stayed, and Pak Faisal from the restaurant too... they were such a nice people..I was traveling with my husband and my 4 yo boy. and even my boy commented on how nice the people in Tugu lombok. they were very attentive and they made sure that we enjoyed our stay by always asked us whether we need any assistance, without being annoying. we stayed at ampenan 6, and in front of the room, there was a big field of grass garden, and at the end there was a swimming pool and the beach. my boy loves to swim at the swimming pool, as well as swimming at the ocean next to the swimming pool, with the local kids (he kept talking about that experience). The beach is nice, with its long white sand. it was lovely walking around the beach (the have the swing and hammock too at the beach, under the big trees). the Ampenan room itself was very cozy, big, with a high ceiling, and not creepy at all. very clean and beautiful. they have a semi outdoor bathroom with a small green garden next to the bath room. for the food : I always love Tugu's restaurant, anywhere I go, i never disappoint with the quality of their food. and we were very happy that Tugu Lombok restaurant matched our expectation. we had the best ayam taliwang in tugu lombok's restaurant ( a must try!!). on a second night, we wanted to have dinner on the beach, but when we try to to book to have diner at the beach in the morning, the reservation was full. when we came to the restaurant later that night for dinner, we met Pak Faisal and Pak Faisal said : let me try to get you guys a place on the beach, and apparently Pak Faisal set up the gazebo next to the beach, right at that moment, with all the candles, so we can have our dinner at the beach. very impressive service!! .. and on saturday morning, my boy got to witness baby turtles being release on the beach next to the restaurant ..a rare occasion ... we also had a pleasant experience riding the bicycle around Tugu lombok. We really enjoy our stayed at Tugu Lombok. and we look forward to come back!!"

Samanea Beach Resort: "One of our best stays at Cambodia"

Review by: abhipsita | Source: Trip Advisor
Out of the seven properties we sampled in our eight nights in Cambodia, this was one of the best! And I really wish we could've stayed longer. We rented a junior villa for the night and was extremely pleased with our choice because the room was beautiful and spacious and the washroom came with an outdoor shower and bath. [See pictures] The resort has lush lawns and its own strip of beach with a pier - overall an extremely picturesque property. So much so that we ended up spending most of the day chilling at the property in stead of exploring Kep. Service at the restaurant and the bar is good - food is pretty good but the cocktails are average. Overall, a very comfortable stay and would definitely visit the property again if I am going back to Cambodia.

Rachamankha: "Wonderful location, beautiful architecture"

Review by: Banditsmom707 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The beautiful antiques and elegant architecture makes this hotel a stand out. Located centrally within the walled city, it is easy walking distance to many Wats. The dining room is lovely. The food was excellent (be sure to have the Burmese Tea Salad). The pool was lovely and the landscaping equally lovely. We had great, friendly service. I would go back. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Lombok: "One of the best hotels I have ever been in!"

Review by: Tim Fabian B | Source: Trip Advisor
I can absolutely recommend the Tugu Hotel Lombok! The staff was extremely nice and helpful! The rooms and hotel area is very beautiful! You can book diving and snorkeling trip, have long and nice walks on the beach and they will even organize you a lovely dinner on the beach. Thank you again for everything, I will come back.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A Step Back In Time"

Review by: Daniel L | Source: Trip Advisor
Recently visited Cheong Fatt Tze's Blue Mansion in Georgetown. All in all I was glad I went as I learned a lot about the original owner. The tour guide was a fascinating raconteur. I could tell she had told this story a few times in the 18 years she had worked there. The quality of the restoration is absolutely amazing.

The Governor’s House: "Fantastic in all respects"

Manukan Island Resort: "Paradise island and resort"

Review by: Ariane V | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was a great place to be. Everything was just perfect. The hospitality of the staff is great. They really want you to have a good time. At the restaurant you could also ask for things beside the menu and the cook would look what was possible. The guests of the resort have their own private beach and swinmingpool. You can use the towels of the resort so not necessary to bring your own. The resort is not too large and that is exactly what gives it a charm. We stayed 4 nights and everybody knew us. The room was perfect also. Looking out at the beach and with a large bathroom. At daytime the island has a lot of day visitors (depending on the day and season how many) but after 5 pm the island is deserted except for the residents of the resort. We did also the jungle track to the sunset point and that was allright and took aprox 50 minutes. And there are possibilities to snorkel and dive. "
