Tugu Malang: "Excellent service in picturesque ambience, what more could you ask for?"

Review by: siskadanny | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed in the Devata Room for 3 nights and we had one of the best family vacation ever. Room was spacious, decor was magnificent with all the antiquities around. Plenty of photo spots. The whole hotel always smelled faintly of jasmine and tuberose flower. There was nothing too troublesome for the staff to make you feel welcome and I really loved how they greeted you by your names and personalised everything, from the welcome card in the room to the placement on the restaurant. Somehow it was like staying in your rich Javanese grandmother's home. (...) My compliments for all the service staff, especially Mbak Siti in the dining room who patiently listen to my kids' babbling on how they want their eggs for breakfast. The kids absolutely loved every aspects of their stay at the hotel."

Rachamankha: "Elegant & beautiful, a pretty perfect south-east Asia hotel"

Review by: Fikoukla | Source: Trip Advisor
Two years ago I had dinner here after stumbling across it when wandering round the old town of Chiang Mai. I immediately had hotel envy and as soon as I decided to come back to CM I knew I had to stay here. I was not disappointed. The beautiful courtyards unfold before you, each one shady and alluring, housing antique furniture and prints down the side galleries, and with frangipanis and palm trees dotting the central space, one of them enclosing a lovely quiet pool, another an exquisite library. This is the kind of building you often find yourself paying to wander round, to stay here was a privilege and I loved it. Every detail here was considered and I would definitely recommend it. My only comment to the owners is that the bathrooms need some love and attention, compared to everything else it felt shabby (but in fact, it was absolutely fine and with lovely Molton Brown toiletries - it just didn't live up to the quality of the rest of the experience). Location-wise it's also great, down a small back street inside the old city walls and a five minute walk from the main temple complex and one end of the night market. I was sad to leave, you'll be delighted to arrive.

Villa Song Saigon: "What makes a good hotel great?"

Review by: David B | Source: tripadvisor.com
What makes a great hotel? Is it location, style, luxury, food quality, service, amenities, exclusivity,ambiance? Villa Song has all of this and much more. The indefinable thing that makes paying customers feel like honored guests - friends even. This is like a Mini Singapore Raffles located on the Saigon River half an hour from HCM airport. It's hard not to gush about this place and harder to find fault. I dare you to try. If you go there you will be looked after by GM Yega, his wonderful staff including the charming Freddie who seems to be able to do everything. You might be served breakfast by Miss Hua and her colleges, have a cocktail concocted for you especially by the fantastic bar manager, take a ride on the hotel launch, sit by the fabulous pool,,,,,,You will certainly be fed by master Chef Kevin. F&B director and chef from Luxembourg. The quality of food pumped out of his kitchen will delight you. I could go on and on but I am busy planning my next (much longer) stay in this very special hotel. Check out this unique and special little gem for yourself....but leave room for me.

Maduzi Hotel: "Favorite hotel in Bangkok"

Review by: Terri C | Source: Trip Advisor
What surprised me about this hotel was how spacious the rooms are, especially compared to others in the area. It was also conveniently located not far from the BTS station. But far and away what set it apart from other hotels was the customer service. Highly recommend!

Sea Dance Resort: "Perfect"

Review by: William M | Source: Trip Advisor
I was wondering how to describe Sea Dance ,possibly if you can imagine the comfortable feeling of your home crossed with a five star hotel that is as near as I can get. The accommodation is exactly as described and photographed the staff are excellent Faith Helen and Poh are always mentioned and are great but every one of them are smiling and helpful, I wish I had space to give them all a name check. What ever you needed was arranged without fuss. The food was mouth watering , drinks the same including the complementary 'gin and tonic' ice lolly !!!! The beach is rocky but the pool is fab. I could go on but just to say from airport pick up to airport drop off Sea Dance was unbeatable.

Tugu Lombok: "Bliss Bliss Bliss"

Review by: hotelhotel777 | Source: tripadvisor.com
One of our favourite hotels we have ever been to. The staff are so friendly and sincere and make you feel so welcome. The ambiance is spectacular with all the antiques, open areas, blue ocean, just breathtaking. We recommend the fresh caught fish of the day Indonesian style. Great food! Thank you so much and we will definitely be coming back again.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Great personalised service"

Review by: Keefe T | Source: Trip Advisor
"What made our trip memorable was the personal touch by Noel Rodrigo's staff. Kudos especially to Dilanke for being a warm host. Although the Safari experience itself was not ""National Geographic channel"" standard (thankfully we managed to spot the elusive leopards), the sumptuous food and luxurious accommodation definitely made up for it. All in all, it is indeed worth the premium paid and we will strongly recommend going with Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris."
