NOEL RODRIGO’S LEOPARD SAFARIS: "Family safari"

Review by: Swph | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We had a great time at Leopard Safaris. We were staying in a family tent with three children for two nights. We had some friends also staying on the site and the camp offered for the children to go in one jeep and the adults in the other. The children's jeep was looked after by Praneeth, who did a great job of entertaining them during the drives. We dined together and the food was great - all the staff are very friendly. The tents are authentic, giving the camping experience, while they have luxuries like two toilets and separate shower filled with hot water on the way back from the drives. Beds also very comfortable. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The drives were highly informative and we spotted a number of leopards and a sloth bear - particularly good was that most of the time we were away from the crowds. A nice touch was that Saj, who was managing the camp, was very happy to spend time with both adults and children while in camp - even being interviewed by the kids for their home made Yala documentary. An all round great experience and we'll be back some time soon! "

Tugu Lombok: "Excellent Hotel"

Review by: anairi8 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I use TripAdvisor a lot to check hotels reviews but rarely I write a review myself. This time I decided to write one since I really think Tugu was an exceptional place. I travel a lot for work so I know many hotels all over the world and I have to say that the service we got here was the best I have ever had. Everyone there, from management to waiters to housekeeping tried always to satisfy all our needs, and traveling with 5 kids I have to say that we had a lot of needs ... They were always helpful, always smiling. What a nice 4 days we had...thank you! The hotel itself and the surroundings are amazing (one of the most beautiful beaches I have been in Indonesia, and by far better that any of the Bali ones). Food was delicious too. Indeed a 5 stars hotel. If you plan to go to Lombok I highly recommend this hotel."

Samanea Beach Resort: "Perfect combination of luxury and comfort – peaceful and luxurious stay!"

Review by: MyFiveAcres | Source: Trip Advisor
"The rooms at Samanea are all villas decorated in traditional / colonial style, full of character and charm. My villa had an extremely comfortable king-sized bed, a lounge area with comfy sofa, and a full-sized desk for working. There was also a fully furnished patio that looked out toward the pool and the sea. The best part about the room was the bathroom. The toilet and sink area had a glass wall to the outdoor shower and soaker tub. A tall stone wall protected my privacy but I could bathe under the stars. Breakfast and all food at the restaurant was fantastic and they are in the process of changing their menu to include more vegan and vegetarian options, too! Terrific, peaceful and luxurious stay!"

Tugu Bali: "We wanted a WOW !!!!!! place to send our first Christmas! We found it! Hidden Secret!!!"

Review by: soni2acantin | Source: Trip Advisor
"My boyfriend and i wanted a WOW place to spend Christmas. I went on internet and typed : "" best places to spend Christmas"" and i found an article from Condè Nast saying : Bali, and the best hotel to go : Tugu Hotel ! So i booked. The hotel is amazing since the owner is the biggest art collector of Indonesia, you can really feel a good ""vibe"" BUT the service is even more amazing. We rented the Dendari Suite(we had our private pool and private court yard with a fish pound, with a private swing bed !!!. They brought us to our room at midnight after a 30h flight ..., candles were lit, encent was burning on the way to our door AND our HUGE bath was filled with warm water, flowers and lemongrass essential oil..... WOWWW, the rest was just like that, there is only 21 rooms so the concept is that you can have your breakfast, lunch diner where ever you like, at the beach, at in the Chinese Temple, in your room, near the pound whereever ! The food at the hotel is great, i would really advice you take the romantic package !! It comes with a 2h30 pampering at the spa that finished with them washing your hair, outside, on an antique chair, WOW ! Kadet at the spa is amazing, Khrischna our waiter was so nice loving and caring like the rest of the staff. Kelly, the hotel manager was there for us if you need her and made sure our stay was perfect! The only thing, and i told it to Kelly is that there internet site does not show how great this place is!!! I want to go back !!!!!!!! "

The Apsara Rive Droite: "One of the best values in old Luang Prabang"

Review by: BKKPeter | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Apsara is my go to place for trips to Luang Prabang. It has a history (as opposed to the pop up colonial places built nearby in the past few years), excellent staff, and an appropriate level of comfort that's just right for LP. You're on the Nam Khaen, so you avoid a lot of the tourist noise, but you're only a block away. And their kitchen is good, too. Stayed September 2016"

Maison Polanka: "An oasis of calm"

Tranquil hotel in a tempest of tourism. Friendly and helpful staff made our stay a delight. Nearly forgot to mention the food which was cooked to perfection. Really sutle flavours, we just loved it. Pick the yellow room if you can.

Mume: "Just amazing"

Review by: Maxim S | Source: Trip Advisor
"I personally cannot understand the low rating. My experience here was fantastic! I am from the industry and the food & cocktails were on a really high level. Also the casual dress code and relaxed environment just make it better. For Taipei it might not be cheap, but compared to places like Hong Kong or Singapore it is! And you definitely get great quality and its worth it! Recommending this place to everyone!"

Tugu Bali: "What a mind blowing entrance"

Review by: Vanessa Ann S | Source: Trip Advisor
Pool, cocktails and beach...we were staying 5 mins away at a private villa so can't comment on the accomodation but what an awesome place for a day or evening time out...amazing!!! Their cocktails were insanely great, beautiful beach, 2 pools to choose from and very friendly fun staff on hand!!! Love this hotel space. We came back 2 days in a row, first during the day then the next evening for beach cocktails!! Both very different and awesome experiences!! Highly recommend!! We'll be back!!

The Island Lodge: "Great place to stay"

Review by: Noriko U | Source: Trip Advisor
"I'm currently living in My Tho city and this is my first time my boyfriend visiting me in My Tho. I have worked for Thoi Son island for 3 months but didn't know they have this kind of great resort hotel on this island. We stayed here for two nights and had dinner for the first night. Tastes awesome and the staff who served the dishes was really friendly. We also tried spa and it was awesome too. We really relaxed and felt great. Next time my bf comes over My Tho city, we will stay here again for sure. "

Review by: Jerome J | Source: Trip Advisor
Nous avons passé 4 nuits dans cet endroit magique et reposant, un véritable havre de paix... la directrice de l’hôtel (Karine) est une encyclopédie et pourra vous conseiller sur ce qui est incontournable à Bali en fonction de vos attentes... nous attendons qu’une seule chose c’est de pouvoir retourner
