Tugu Bali: "Authentic atmosphere & impeccable service"

Hotel Tugu in Canggu, was by far the best hotel experience I've had in Bali. Its location, property (rooms, pool, seaside, etc), details, in room features, everything was exceptionally good. Not quite like the modern-designed contemporary hotels, more than that it has a unique authentic atmosphere but a world-class and warm service.

Cuca: "Glorious food!!"

The taste of the foods is so delicious that you can feel the passion and creative of the chef from each bite. Modern loungy restaurant with great dishes and amazing tastes. Not to mention friendly staff with well demonstrated knowledge and enthusiasm for the food. It is really a great place that you must visit at Bali!!

David’s Kitchen: "One of the best meals I’ve had"

Incredible food, amazing service, and a nice but unpretentious atmosphere. David came by and had a conversation with each of the tables to make sure we were happy. I loved every minute of it, highly recommended.

Satri House: "Quiet very stylish place with excellent breakfast under new competent management"

"The place is a ""total work of art"" - the traditional building- the impressive collection of precious regional artifacts . We felt very relaxed in a wonderful secluded and quiet atmosphere- yet with one of the hotels bicycles or also by feet very close to the center of Luang Prabang or Mekong river site. The personal was very friendly and helpful -they even followed our taxi as we had forgotten something when leaving. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

David’s Kitchen: "Wonderful birthday meal – amazing atmosphere and phenomenal food"

We had such a great evening at David's Kitchen last night. From the moment we walked in, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They had decorated the table and left a card for me as we were celebrating my birthday. David, himself came and had a lovely chat with us, sharing a few of his stories. We noticed he made the effort to go around to most of the tables, making sure everyone was having a good evening! He gave us dinner and wine recommendations for our meal which we followed, and were not disappointed. My boyfriend had the pumpkin soup and the beef cheek. I had the spicy fish salad and the chicken breast with mushroom sauce. Both were delicious. I asked for extra sauce with my chicken, and the lovely waitress brought me out some and then brought me an extra helping without me asking for it, as she didn't want me to run out. They sang happy birthday whilst one of the gents played guitar and they gave me a little bunch of roses, which although slightly embarrassing was a really nice gesture. They went above and beyond to make us feel really special and we enjoyed every minute. It is a definitely one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Thailand and as such is more expensive than usual Thailand prices, but we are used to London prices and had we had this same meal back home we would have likely paid 4x the price and wouldn't have minded doing so. Thank you to the whole team it was a fantastic night that we won't forget in a hurry.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "I think it’s the only place in town to stay"

"I travel a lot in Asia and this is one of my must stay hotels. it has one thing in spades and that's that elusive thing called style. The staff are great if a trifle dotty, the rooms are comfy, the wine list is amazing and the food is great. You won't find a better place in town to hang out. It might not be everyone's idea of luxury but I've never thought that luxury involved looking at in room tea and coffee making facilities. Room Tip: I like downstairs but them i'm nosey"

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Fantastic location and excellent service"

"The lodge was very comfortable and had the most fantastic views of the valley beneath the lodge and the majestic Annapurna range of the Himalayas. The most incredible views of these mountains was at sunrise across the swimming pool. The lodge sits high on the mountain side and it is a perfect place to relax with nothing to disturb the peace except the sounds of nature; an ideal place for complete relaxation. The standard of the food is very high and interesting menu, each meal was a delicious repast. The main centre of the lodge is very comfortable and outdoor dining at breakfast and lunch was very enjoyable, dinner was served in the main dining room at night when it was a little cooler. ( May ). The staff is very professional, discrete, very helpful and added greatly to the quality and enjoyment of our stay. Stayed May 2016, traveled with friends"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Not to be missed"

The greeting at the front door at the beginning of the tour was terrific. The best guide I have ever experienced. The mansion was amazing with its the history the architecture and the family who lived there were well explained by our excellent guide. Looked a wonderful place to stay.. photography allowed

Tugu Lombok: "Beautiful, relaxing resort"

"My wife and I spent three days in an oceanfront villa at the beginning of our vacation here. Hotel Tugu is a beautiful, beachside hotel in north Lombok. It is off the main room and a bit distant from the nearest town or village, so it is a bit isolated. But this is not a problem- the hotel grounds are huge, and stuffed with balinese and Indonesian art. Indeed, it is a truly beautiful hotel, one of the most beautiful I've stayed in, and the beach is absolutely perfect- a huge expanse of sand great for swimming and snorkeling. There are a two restaurants and bars serving a variety of Indonesian and western dishes. The food is excellent, though the drinks are a bit overpriced and weak (but still very tasty!). The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, though I would say that at time I thought they were a bit over the top- there can be too much service. We also had a bit of difficulty booking activities- sometimes it was hard to get someone in the main office who could help us. The rooms, like the property, were beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and clean. I would say that parts of them could have been more functional- the lighting was pretty dim, the bathroom tub didn't work very well, and other small things. But these are minor issues- we really enjoyed our stay. Overall, Hotel Tugu is an excellent hotel and well worth a visit for a more Indonesian experience than offered by other local hotels. If you are looking for the efficiency of a European-standard luxury resort, I might try one of the other nearby resorts, but then you will miss staying in a beautiful and unique property."
