Villa Mathis: "Une merveille"
I stayed at Villa Mathis for a week in April 2017 with my son .... it was a marvel. Everything was perfect, beautiful setting, decor, cleanliness, friendliness of the staff, the tranquility of the place .... a real haven of peace and serenity. The kitchen, also a delight! I recommend the Rice Villa, simply Wonderful!Samanea Beach Resort: "Beautiful resort, lovely staff."
Upon arrival really all we could do was say "wow". Samanea Resort is utterly beautiful, it is like being invited into someone's personal retreat. The resort is made up of bungalows dotted amongst lovely gardens, there is a lovely pool area and a small (man-made, not that it made any difference) beach, and a long pier going out over the sea. The restaurant/bar is lovely, with tall doors thrown wide to the views. The menu is fairly restrictive but we ate there several times and everything was perfectly presented and totally delicious. The staff are attentive without being overwhelming (for 2 days we were the only guests!) and very friendly. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean, the bathroom with the outside shower/bath area was very nice, my son and his wife absolutely loved it. It was a bit pricier than some other options we could have chosen but we all really enjoyed our stay. Located a 10 min tuk-tuk ride from the centre of Kep, but the hotel staff rang tuk-tuk's for us whenever was needed one, and the price was fixed at a reasonable rate. Due to the bungalows being within a garden setting we did find that there were quite a few bugs and creepy crawlies made their way inside, but nets over the beds and cans of spray were provided. All in all, it is a very beautiful place to stay, wonderfully peaceful and relaxing while you are there, and not too far from town if you want to go out.kenanga ubud : "Fantastic property"
"If you are travelling for the first time to Ubud.. Think no further and just book this place.. When u reach seek out the manager Karen and ask her for advice.. She will help you plan your entire trip, from great bike tour, to restaurant suggestions and even massage booking.. She will tell you the best places.. And then just enjoy your trip.. The staff is attentive and pampers you.. The rooms are big and perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure around Ubud.. The food at the restaurant Terra cotta is calming and refreshing at the same time.. Look no further.. This is the place..!"Glenburn Tea Estate: "Relaxing"
"This hotel is excellent, I will certainly return. From the pick up at the airport, tea on route and the well appointed rooms I really can't fault it, the views from anywhere in the hotel are breathtaking, the food, although limited in choice is excellent, if you like walking and enjoy peace and quite this would be a great choice, additionaly the tea plantation and working factory are a great visit. Room Tip: A room with walk in shower is a good choice"MesaStila: "Amazing"
"very good place with amazing views and facilities. The resort crews were also very helpful and kind to support and assist us during our stay there. I stayed there as domestic guest and it was still worth to stay. Don't miss the coffee tour and local batik making!"Cuca: "Amazing food"
We enjoyed a romantic dinner here in the garden. Beautiful restaurant and grounds. Staff are super friendly and helpful. They guided us through each item we ordered. Tapas were outstanding. Price is high for Bali but worth it for the quality of food, taste, presentation and experience!The Hue House: "Hue imperial palace in Sai Gon"
The Hue House is amazing place, I love it! First choice for dinner in Sai Gon with delicious food,affordable prices and lovely staff.Reverie Siam: "Out of this world experience"
"We are so glad we booked that place. It was a family reunion and we couldn't have wished for more. It is not only the place itself which is just amazing but the staff as well whom are all so genuinely friendly and warm. Everything was perfect from the time we checked in until out and this memories will last for long. Spoil yourself and book the villas, they are just simply perfect. Thanks, keep up the great work and see you soon again !"Tandjung Sari: "Beautiful, relaxing, great atmosphere"
"A lovely older style resort in Sanur away from the madness of Kuta/Legian. We stayed in a lovely 2 storey ocean front bungalow, just a few steps to the beach, The grounds of the hotel are lovely as is the pool and outdoor eating areas. Breakfast is very good, in fact all the food here is top quality. All staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again"Mathis Retreat: "Quelle Merveille"
We spent 3 nights in this hotel. What about as the superlatives are many. We stayed in the bungalow and what comfort .... it is a quiet intimate place a splendid view of rice fields. Possibility to join the center of Ubud on foot in 20mn through rice fields and villages. I highly recommend The breakfast is fabulous and the meal restaurant Terracotta Go there with confidence
