Maison Polanka: "Wonderful place to stay"
We stayed at Polanka in early April and it was wonderful. All of us (2 adults, 2 boys 11 & 15) loved it. Julie & Kathy helped us arrange everything (guides, tickets to the Circus, cooking lessons) and had great suggestions for shopping & places to eat. The property is an oasis of calm; the food is fantastic (the chef who gave my son & I our cooking lesson is marvelous); and the swimming pool is the perfect antidote to hours of walking through the temples. The owners of the hotel are long-time supporters of local artists and the entire property shows a deep connection to the local community. We can't wait to go back.Muang La Lodge: "A real Gem"
"We stayed three days and two nights in this slice of paradise. The setting is terrific and the service and attention to detail was even better. The fusion of French and Lao cuisine was sensational and the presentation a delight for the eye. The staff to a person clearly has been well trained and look for opportunities to please. We happen to be visiting a day after my birthday and of course they surprised us with an evening of lighting candle lanterns to send off good blessings into the clear evening sky. Truly a place to revisit and restore. Bravo on all fronts. "satrin house: "Great service, beautiful grounds, wonderful experience"
"We stayed for 3 nights and were very pleased with the helpful and friendly staff. Our room was large and comfortable and the food excellent. The Hotel is within walking distance of the night market. We highly recommend Satri House. "tugu lombok: "Paradiso"
This place stunned me. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. The staff was great and very helpful. Every single thing I ate at the resort was a total culinary pleasure. Breakfast on the beach, candlelit dinner on the rooftop, fresh juice by the pool. We went in the down season and it meant that we felt basically alone. Our room and private pool were so enchanting and the recovered and traditional artwork all over the resort really makes this place something special. Probably one of my favourite places I've ever stayed if you just want to escape. There is also a number of interesting things to do around the resort like visiting the Gili Islands or the volcano. A++Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Idyllic"
"This is our second time that my family and I have stayed at Sea Dance, Koh Samui and I can say with much sincerity that Poy and his wonderful staff have outdone themselves yet again. We stayed 3 years ago whilst still having that familiar feeling, Poy has added a lot of extra features to make our stay even more memorable. First of all, there were lots of familiar faces amongst the staff who made sure our children had enough to eat whilst our hands were always holding a delicious, refreshing cocktail. Thanks Kwan you are the best. The addition of the international menu ensured all our families taste buds were met. The buffet breakfast was awesome with so much choice with the hot food cooked in front of you. Secondly, the welcome addition of fun and friendly Faith ensured all our needs were met finding family entertainment for our children. For us, the location is idyllic being 350 meters from the main road you are ensured that your stay is a peaceful one whilst being surrounded by a secluded beach which makes it perfect for snorkeling and canoeing. The view of the ocean from the main pool is stunning with the water splashing gently against the oceans rocks make it a great back drop for spectacular sunsets. We stayed in a lovely villa with a plunge pool which was perfect for our family. The villa was spotless with housekeeping making sure it was clean every day. Thank you. A particular highlight was the band that played on Sunday afternoon whilst we ate a delicious seafood buffet. The atmosphere was amazing great tunes, and company with great cocktails. The band continued on into the night singing songs from all eras. For us, Sea Dance is a home away from home where you are treated like family and always feel so welcome. We will definitely return. Stayed April 2017, traveled with family"Satri House: "High-end colonial feeling!"
Colonial feeling like in a private Villa. The lovingly furnished interior, the pool, the complete architecture is marvellous, just like the home made-jam,, the Croissants and the Baguette at breakfast.Tugu Malang: "An excellent hotel"
"Everything is perfect : A beatiful inside, with small swimming pool A large room well equiped An effective staff, very helpful (thanks to Nur Hasim) A very good restaurant for classy dinner and good breakfast Thank you !"Arumdalu: "God’s wonderful creation"
Saya sangat puas dengan pelayanan dari arumdalu, ketika sampai saya disambut oleh driver dan dibantu untuk koper saya. Ketika sampai saya disambut oleh minuman selamat datang, untuk villa sangat menakjubkan dimana bentuk bangunan sangat unik dan eco luxury, sangat menakjubkan bahwa arumdalu menanam sayur dan buah yang digunakan untuk menu makanan yang disajikan, ruangan villa yang saya tinggali sangat bagus kolam renangnya dan gazebonya sangat unik, kebersihan villa sangat dijaga, dan fasilitas kamar villa dari ranjang kamar mandi dan lainnya sangat mewah sesuai dengan harganya. Fasilitas dan service sangat baik dan worth it sekali untuk harga villanya. Dan disana saya dijelaskan tentang eco concept arumdalu dimana mereka menjaga sekali alam dan pantainya. Air buangan mandi dan kolam renang mereka recycle dimanfaatkan untuk tanaman yang mereka tanam, panas dari airconnya pun digunakan untuk water heater air untuk mandi, dan juga tidak menggunakan pompa sama sekali sehingga mereka menggunakan gravitasi. Concept mereka sangat amazed buat saya. Dari pengalaman saya menginap di resort setiap negara dan daerah pinggir pantai, tak ada satupun yang memikirkan konsep ini. Untuk makanan restauran sahang so yummy. Makanan yang disajikan sangat unik, yaitu bebek dalam sangkar. Recommended untuk makanan ini, saya juga minum aladine summer night its so refreshing. Disana saya berjalan dipinggir pantai dan sejauh mata saya melihat keindahan dunia dimana saya sering traveling ke pulau dan pantai, pantai arumdalu belitung sangat cantik dan bersih, dengan ombak yang tenang membuat semua kejenuhan akibat bekerja dikota hilang semuanya, relax dan menyatu dengan alam. Tempat ini sangat cocok untuk honeymoon bagi pasangan muda mudi millennials. View di pantai ini sangat indah disaat sunrised. Bagi kalian pasangan muda mudi yang honeymoon dan orang yang ingin relax dan menyatu dengan alam so recommended.Tugu Malang: "Beautifull java architecture"
"I stayed in Hotel Tugu malang for 2 days in last February, I stayed in one deluxe room in 2nd floor not the cheapest room in the Hotel. The room is very spacious,we had a welcome message and welcome drink also welcome fruit when we are check in,Bath room is very wide Bed is very nice also,I think Hotel Tugu malang is the cheapest Tugu in Indonesia especially if you are compared with Hotel Tugu Lombok or Bali. We also have dinner last night in the Hotel they have so many choices of food,I ordered some duck and my friend ordered sop Buntut Also,Breakfast also nice they have traditionall Indonesian or java food,they provide buffee and alacarte also for the breakfast,for me the Hotel is the best Hotel in Malang. "Samanea Beach Resort: "It’s gorgeous place!"
Manager who was very kindly friendly with their guests. The room look like older but seems to be based traditional structure of the local citizen. The outside bathroom is definitely a unique feature. The resort was very silence that you could heard some songs from insects in night time hi hi hi. The beach that where you maybe swim but watch sunrise or sunset then that is a great experience. The long wharves that made me better feeling as on the sea by my foot. The food was so good. There are not many rooms in this resort with their large site, almost of them for tree, swimming pool. With kindly noted, the resort must control better against mosquito. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.
