Muang La Lodge: "Unforgettable!"

Review by: Alban T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Our 3 nights in this timeless place were absolutely fantastic! The place is magic. The staff is incredibly professional and attentive and services went over our expectations. Breakfast is absolutely gorgeous. Croissant, Pain au Chocolat, Bread, Eggs, Homemade Jam, Fresh fruits...we enjoyed everything! The lunch is also very good. Simple and very tasteful dishes. Dinner is a bit more fancy. The taste and the presentation were much more subtle. You should try their cocktails! Especially one made with passion fruit, basil and Lao Lao, a traditional alcohol. We really enjoyed the food and the service. For our last dinner they even prepared an isolated table just for us! Thank you again for this very kind attention! The room was very clean and well furnished. The view on the river was very pleasant! We were very impressed by the discretion and level of professionalism of the housekeeping team. The swimming pool and the pool bar has been the place where we were spending our last minutes of sun everyday. Definitely a place where we were astonished by the beauty of the scenery. In short, our experience has been much more surprising than expected...This place made us aware of the incredible moments we were living. Priceless."

Tugu Bali: "Best Beef Range Dang"

Review by: Linda S | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stopped here for lunch on a Kombi Tour and the staff were super friendly and attentive, even bringing my son out some calamine lotion for a rash they noticed he had. The food and cocktails were awesome, there is a pool to swim with towels provided. There are also raised day beds to chill out and view the beach across the road. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

Tugu Bali: "The best hotel I’ve ever stayed in"

Review by: SamSantaMonica_CA | Source: Trip Advisor
We absolutely loved this hotel! Luxury without being commercialized. It was a splurge for us but worth every penny! We stayed in a Dedari Suite and it was amazing- huge, comfortable, beautifully decorated, full of charm, and the bathroom- what a dream! Outdoor shower/bath with fish swimming in koi pond. The private plunge pool was great! The location of the hotel can't be beat- one of the few actually on the beach in Canggu. We were able to walk out our door and surf at 2 great breaks (Old Man's and Batu Balong). The staff and service were top notch- anything you wanted and more! Special thank you to Putu, who went above and beyond to ensure our happiness. Next time I am in Bali I will definitely stay here again!

VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Wonderful! Keep Up The Great Work"

Review by: le_mans_stig | Source: tripadvison.com
"Stunning boutique property in district 2 of the city yet feels and looks like you are far more rural. We stayed here twice and were given a very warm and typical Vietnamese welcome each time. Service was impeccable and attentive without being intrusive. All seemed to have a very genuine interest in how we were and what we had done each day. Great sized lovely pool for the number of guests accommodated, chilled to exactly the right temperature! To the rear of the hotel is a beautiful garden, bar and indoor/outdoor restaurant overlooking the river and across to the fields. Chilled music adds to the very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out by the river with a drink (or two) each evening! An excellent menu and wine list provide great choice and all of the food was beautifully presented and absolutely superb. The hotels speed boat provides a courtesy shuttle service between the hotel and centre of the city in just 15 minutes, far quicker than going by road! Exceptional service from a clearly dedicated, highly trained and competent team. Nothing is too much trouble. We hope to return soon... "

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"

Review by: Agnieszka B | Source: Trip Advisor
I spent few days in Golden Buddha in December 2014 and I plan to come back there soon. Here I discovered yoga and I was very motivated by excellent yoga teacher - Alex. Until today I practice yoga at home and at work. Golden Buddha is perfect place to relax. The staff is very friendly and surrounding nature is just amazing.

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Magical"

Review by: Caroline E | Source: Trip Advisor
An amazing place and well worth the travel to get there. Beautiful location, very comfortable and excellent food. We stayed 3 nights. It was lovely swimming in the river, although beware of the changing current. We walked in the forest and canoed around the island opposite.

Anopura Resort: "Five stars isn’t enough!"

Review by: Neal57 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were completely blown away by Anopura. If I could give it ten stars it would be too few. There has been great care and skill in the design and furnishing. It's tasteful and comfortable, and Ishwar and the team are superb. They have looking after people well down to a fine art - caring but not fawning. Latika, the loveliest dog in the world broke the ice. Inside a couple of hours we were involved in an international boules tournament involving the other 2 guests, and Ishwar and Dennis. The food was amazing whether it was Indian or European - we had a beautiful cheese shuffle and an amazing salad for lunch within 20 minutes of Ishwar making the suggestion. Go for a walk round the village in the evening and take up the offer of a visit to a ruined local hunting lodge. I won't spoil the surprises. We were there 3 nights and the whole took on a dreamlike quality. The air was clean, the temperature perfect, and the unheated pool invigorating. If it was easier to get there I'd never go anywhere else. As we were leaving Latika just lay there with a sad face instead of rushing up with tail wagging. She seemed very sad to see us leaving. But she wasn't half as sad as we were."
