I had lunch with friends and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful location, the impressive ambiance and the professional and extremely friendly service. Food was an adventure; beautiful, with surprises that pleased the palate. Not not cheap but worth every penny.

Tugu Bali: "Relaxation Therapy"

Review by: Allan B | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was our third visit to Tugu and it never fails to impress. The serene Balinese architecture and stunning gardens make this one of our favourite hotels. This is somewhere that you stay and feel that you are the only people there. The staff are excellent, there when you need them, yet allowing you the space to truly relax. The hotel offers a fantastic range of massage treatments and healthy yoga sessions if wanted, or just relax by the pool. Canggu itself has transformed over the last 2 years, with a huge range of fantastic restaurants nearby, yet it still retains the laid back feel that is missing in other parts of Bali. The surf break is awesome too, which is an added bonus."

Yandabo Home: "Spacious rooms, great service"

Review by: Mrs U | Source: Trip Advisor
We only spent one night here, which is what we would recommend. Our room was facing the water, spacious, clean, stylish and well equipped. You have to eat at the hotel as there is no other choice, but the meal was good and service excellent. It is located close to a village famed for its pottery manufacture. A highlight for me was the superb homemade croissants and bread at breakfast. Please note there is no WiFi.

The Hue House: "Great food & great staff."

Everyone was so kind. I am gluten free and the waiter was super efficient, he even googled what individuals on a gf diet can have and confirmed it with me. The food was great and everyone was super attentive.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Wonderful stay"

Review by: jo c | Source: Trip Advisor
We loved this place! It was gorgeous and calm, and the managers are extremely friendly and professional. We enjoyed falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the river right outside our door, and loved the excellent location right next to the grand palace and wat Arun. I'd love to come back at some point in the future. Highly recommend!

tugu bali: "Romantic 10 year anniversary celebration"

Review by: Mariahahansen | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This was the perfect place to have a night away from our 5 year old to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! We felt like we were a million miles away in the serene setting provided by the hotel. This is a must for any trip to Bali! The cultural night on Thursday adds such a special touch to our evening! "

The Samar: "Intimate and excellent"

Review by: SerGioDubai | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I've been at SAMAR four nights in July 2015. Overall experience was marvellous. Hotel has 8 rooms only, large and comfortable, designed in colonial style with abudant use of timber and coupled with walking wardrobe and huge bathroom. Pool is always silent and ideal for resting after sunset. Staff is welcoming, pleasant end ready. SPA, satellite TV, fast wi-fi connection everywhere, room safe, english language all available. During my stay I never met more than 3 other guests together, I got a residential feel almost, as being guest at somebody place. Location is conveniently located near archeologic sites and away from noisy and busy msrket/pub area. Highly recommended."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Heaven on Earth"

Review by: Marlenewk | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed 3 nights and arrived yesterday back in Phnom Penh and today I wish we were back in the tranquility of 4 Rivers. We have travelled all over Asia and met many wonderful people but the people at 4Rivers are absolutely the BEST. I wasn't sure about staying in a floating tent plus it was a 5 hour car ride but it was worth it and so glad to have this experience. The manager greeted us upon arrival and the moment I met her, I felt that we were with friends as that is how she and the entire staff make you feel.The tour guides were fantastic and they shared their personal lives with us and it was so great to actually see a member of the staff home and meet his family. The trip over to the village was fantastic as this is real life and they happily shared it with us. I could write a whole page about our wonderful experience but better yet....spend a few days with the most wonderful hosts. I also would like to thank the chef and entire kitchen staff for the fabulous food that they served us each day with was a 5 star cuisine

From the service, to the presentation, to of course the food, David’s Kitchen is a must if you are anywhere near the area

Misool Eco Resort: "Even better the second time around!"

Review by: Dave M | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I first visited MER in 2013 (if interested, see my review dated July 9, 2013) and returned for our second visit in February of this year. Our observations: In the three years between visits, the fish life has continued to rebound in a remarkable fashion thanks to MER's No Take Zone and ranger patrols of that area. There is so much to see on every dive site. Brilliant colors abound, along with critters galore, sharks and mantas, too! Diving was the focus of our visit and we found the dive operation to be efficiently and expertly managed by Calvin and his support staff. The food was once again plentiful and delicious. A change since last time was the switch during lunchtime from buffet style to family style, where heaping plates of food were passed around each table. Great conversations were had daily when the guests came together at meal time. The grounds are clean and well maintained, the staff helpful and friendly, the spa services are varied and most satisfying and while my wife and I have traveled extensively around the globe, we found ourselves more relaxed on this trip than anywhere before. Marit and Andrew have a spectacular vision for this place and continue to look for ways to conserve and protect this beautiful part of the world, while allowing guests to come along for the ride. What a privilege for those who visit. We're already planning to return in 2018 and we can't wait to once again see the friends we've made at MER. Dave and Elaine"
