Amata Lanna: "Traditional Oasis in Chang Mai"

An absolute must on your visit to Chang Mai. Beautiful traditional Thai rooms comfortable, clean and with lovely decor. The staff are delightful, friendly and extremely helpful. Delicious breakfasts served every day poolside. The location is perfect near to the night market restaurants and within walking distance to other attractions. Loved our stay here and would definitely return.

Tugu Bali: "Beautiful Old Bali Style"

"I had spend a couple of night's at the Tugu over Nyepi (Balinese day of silence) and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms are stunning, full of little details that make your stay pleasant and also very unique - you feel in Bali, not like this could be any resort around the world. The staff is very sweet and friendly and the location is unbeatable, walking distance from the beach. "

tugu malang: "Best hidden gem in Indonesia"

"We're currently living in Jakarta, and sometimes you need a little getaway from the Big Durian. Malang is it - and this is the hotel to stay in. I loved everything about this place. The hotel staff are really friendly - arranging early check in and late check out with no problems and playing with my baby. The rooms are gorgeous, really comfortable beds, huge beautiful bathroom with really nice products, and wood floors (great for a crawling baby). The grounds are like a museum with so many places to walk and explore. The hotel is located in a very walkable location and the hotel staff are helpful with recommendations. The restaurant has the best Indonesian food I've had in Indonesia. They'll modify for vegetarians - try the Nasi Campur. The breakfast that's included is also incredible - you can order off the menu and take from the buffet - all included! The coffee is amazing - we took home 2 bags of beans, very reasonably priced. The afternoon tea that's included offers a wonderful selection of Indonesian snacks to try and great tea and coffee. They include a welcome massage of 15 minutes, and we bought a full massage, which was really high quality and totally worth it - and reasonably priced. "

Tugu Lombok: "Wow"

"Initially we were planning to stay at another hotel for our 3 night stay in Lombok, but then I came across the reviews of this hotel, and I could not believe all the 5 stars. However, after our 3 nights were over, Tugu Lombok TRULY deserves all the 5 star reviews. Basically the hotel is situated next to its own private 900metre beach. Although we were there after a tide, the staff did its best to clean the beach every day. All along the beach there are deckchairs, open-air cabins chairs etc Rooms: We stayed during Ramadan, and our room was close to a mosque. The praying could be heard throughout the night. When we talked about this to the GM, they immediately did their best to accomodate us in a new room, which was farther from the mosque and its sound could not be heard. The rooms are clean, and service is twice a day, morning and evenings. Our first room had a semi-open-air bathroom (still very private), which was something we never came across, but enjoyed. Hotel grounds: Hotel grounds are magnificent. Clean cut green grass, sandy beach and sea. The hotel offers free snorkeling equipment, free canoes and also other sea amenities. Staff: The staff were incredible. They really go out of their way to make your stay great. We were on our honeymoon, and they brought a cake for us in the last night, and decorated our room (whilst we were dining) with various 'towel animals'. We were super delighted to see it and could not believe our eyes. Since the hotel has limited rooms, staff knows you on a personal basis, and it really makes you feel more at home. Excursions: We took 2 excursions from the hotel. One was to Gili islands and the other to the waterfalls. Both were a little bit pricey, but we enjoyed both of them. The Gili islands one was exceptionally good..they literally give you a boat to use at your own leisure with your own captain and his helper :) They suggested good snorkeling spots etc. Dining: Since there are no restaurants nearby, we took dinner at the restaurants hotels. Food was really really good, especially the fish, but a little expensive. For our last night, we also had the opportunity to dine on the sand and under the stars, surrounded by candle light. Truly one in a lifetime romantic experience. Conclusion: This was one of the best hotels we have stayed into in our 3 week Bali honeymoon. The 5 star reviews are really well deserved. IF we are ever back to Lombok, we will surely stay there again!!"

Maison Polanka: "“Excellent – best service Experienced in SE Asia”"

We stayed three nights at maison polanka. We have lived 12 years in Thailand where the people are hospitable. However, the service we encountered at maidon polanka is unlike anything we have experienced. It feels like a home away from home. No detail is lacking and the fact that the hotel staff remember your name is notable. For those wishing a unique, Beautiful and u forgettable Experience to compliment your visit here, than maison polanka is a must!

Supanniga Cruise: "Stunning Views and Great Food"

"For our last night in Bangkok we had dinner on the Supanniga. It was one of the best nights in Bangkok, really attentive staff, amazing food, one of the best meals we had, and awesome views. I have seen some of the cheaper versions of the dinner cruise, and would definitely pay the extra for a better experience. I would definitely recommend"

Rachamankha: "Such a beautiful and a tranquil place to stay"

"Stayed in this beautiful hotel this week and had a perfect family vacation. A definite 'must stay' if you want a peaceful and quiet place to go back to after your afternoon shopping and activities. Love their no small kids policy. All the staff greeted you with a smile every single time. Although one of the restaurant's waiter is always 'moody'. The hotel is just 5 minutes walk to all the shops, massage spas, various temples, including 'Wat Phra Singh', Tha Phae Gate, 10-15 mins walk to Saturday night market and 5 mins walk to the Sunday night market. Oh, you MUST spend at least 1 full weekend, ie Saturday and Sunday, in Chiang Mai to enjoy the weekend night markets. What else could you ask for? Just love the place. NASA"

The Island Lodge: "Perfect….except for the kids"

"From the moment you arrive until you leave you will be delighted with your stay here. The reception is a really nice touch especially with the owners both greeting you and welcoming you to the hotel. The rooms are spotless and the facilities very good. We had a river view double which has a great view of both the pool and the river. By far the highlight has to be the food. It is exceptional and very reasonably priced considering the isolated nature of the hotel. The hotel offers it's own various boat trips on the river for a variety of lengths and budgets and the your guide provided is very good. We had a massage on our last night which was by far the best we had during our holiday in Vietnam. Our only issue was that this sort of tranquil place should be adults only. There were a few kids staying during our stay who were quite annoying. In my opinion it's just not the sort of place where you expect to get hit by a ball from the pool when trying to relax. If children are of the age where all they want to do is play with a ball in the pool I don't understand why a parent would insist on dragging them around the world to do that when Benidorm or Tenerfie would be more suitable. It's not exactly as if they are taking in the local culture. The staff did approach the parents which calmed them down for a bit. I understand it must be difficult to turn away custom but I think the hotel would benefit long term by having a minimum age limit. Regardless, we loved this hotel and the owners and all the staff are great and I would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting South Vietnam and the Mekong Delta."

Tugu Bali: "Closest hotel to the beach"

This hotel was 5 stars with a 3 star price. Everything was perfect at this hotel. It was close to the beach (a 3 minute walk). Very clean, beautiful rooms. The staff went above and beyond. I had a sun burn and called the front desk to see if they had any aloe. What they did was track down an aloe plant and brought it to my room. It was amazing! I also loved the essential oil they had in our room and the hotel packaged up some for me to take home. They really wanted you to love your stay! The breakfasts were outstanding. I had the healthy yogurt bowls that were out of this world. Can't wait to visit again!

Villa Song Saigon: "Few days to relax in busy HCM"

"We are a family of 2 kids and it's our second stay in villa song and definitely not the last one. We booked a room and got finally a nice upgrade to a bigger sanctuary room downstairs so easier to handle with the stroller and kids . They have a nice swimming pool and our son enjoyed it at least once to twice per day , The restaurant is super good , Breakfast is served all day long , and the choice is super wide with Vietnamese and western food - my fav of the stay : banh cuon and my husband : croissant sandwich, fruits are fresh and tasty, For the evening, they have a more westerner food menu which is super good but don't expect Vietnamese food - We were there during their Singaporean cook host week and we tried some of his best dish - my fav is the dessert aloe and jelly - lemon sherbet :) On top of that the staff is awesome , super nice and would do everything for u to get a nice stay . We used their baby sit service 2 eve without any issue , And last day I treat myself with a spa offer they had : scrub and facial , it was very well done and relaxing ... and would do it again next time ! Pros: nice swimming pool, adorable staff , food quality , spa available and kids friendly (babysit / babycot) Cons : in D2 so not in city center but u can always enjoy a 15min boat ride right into the center and avoid busy traffic We will definitely come back!!!"
