Flower Island: "Second Home"

A paradise of rustic luxury where privacy and hospitality is 5 star. You can trek, hike, follow a trail path, visit a marine sanctuary, a pearl farm, a sustainable foundation or simply lounge around paradise the whole day. A gem of sacredness, nature is untapped and one can experience something magical or mystical with the resorts captivating beauty. A sanctuary when one can immerse and be one with nature. The Amazing gourmet-like food done buffet style but a must try is the pearl meat which is known as an aphrodisiac. Picture perfect sunrise and sunsets view can compete with the best in the world. One can leisurely walk around the island trail in just 25-35 minutes. Or go up the tower in 15-20mins. Most importantly are the people. The staff makes you feel you're at home. No need to lock your rooms, NOTHING gets lost. Leaving the island will bring you to tears and makes you look forward to coming back - home.

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing"

I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this place was so impressive that I felt I should. The hospitality here was better than any other 5* hotel I have visited. The people are friendly in a really genuine way, and the hotel just has a charm about it that is incomparable to anywhere else I have stayed. It's not something that can be bought, it just has a story to tell and it's authentic and you kind of feel like you are part of the story of the place while you are there. The hotel arranged a scooter for us and when we got a flat tyre they sent someone to pick up the bike and someone else to make sure we were ok and then a driver to take us where we wanted to go free of charge.. an impressive rescue mission! In comparison to gilli, it was just above and beyond miles better. Quieter, cleaner, nicer and so relaxing. It's not right for party goers, but for a place to unwind and relax.. it was perfect. I would love to go back one day.. can't recommend it enough. Thank you Tugu team for taking such good care of us!!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Relax and switch off"

"Stayed here for two nights in a lovely ,clean, well equipped floating tent. All the staff were really friendly and keen to share details of the property and surrounding area. Hopefully it will remain free from wifi and phone signals as it is a refreshing change to unplug from everything and just slow down and enjoy the surroundings . Some details from the stay that are hopefully helpful -Approx 20 min scenic transfer by boat to the lodge with ample room for suitcases etc. -Good quality toiletries and plent of towels. -Mosquito nets integrated into the tent with extra flaps to close if it rains. Insect repellant spray in the room. -Electric and ceiling fans to cool the tents. -Good choice for meals with a daily changing set menu or a la carte menu. All the food and drink we had was really nice ( salad and ice cubes etc all safe to have here) -Choice of excursions during the stay We had an all too short stay here and wish we had stayed longer. If you want to relax and slow down then this is the ideal place"

Dewakan: "Wong family"

Excellent. Family of 9 enjoyed the dishes very much and also like the ambient. Although out of the city centre in Shah Alam in the KDU University College campus, it worth the trip!

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Excellent experience"

Overall it's a very wonderful experience. The vintage look, traditional music playing in the room, Nyonya snacks, breakfast and the service deserve good reputation. I will definitely visit it again in my next tri to Penang.

David’s Kitchen: "Excellent food, reasonable prices"

"I went on a date here with my (now) fiancee. I have to applaud David's kitchen for its flexibility in food and service - the clientele is a mix of thai nationals, Americans, Australians, Europeans, etc - yet the wait staff seem to be experts at responding to every inquiry. I had a food allergy (can't eat oats), and the wait staff was fast to swap out the bread for us. My fiancee was not a fan of her first soup order, and the staff exchanged it at no cost for another soup, which she liked much more. The actual food I would place at slightly above average. I ordered the strip steak. I can say I've had better steaks in America or Japan, but they were also more expensive. One dish doesn't make a restaurant, though - everything else was five stars: The truffle sauce was perfect. The appetizers were perfect. The chocolate lava cake was absolutely amazing. The cocktails were flawless. A mix of Thai friendliness and western elegance, this is a must for any traveler in Chiang Mai."

Hotel Tugu Bali: "hidden gem in plain sight"

"i am a vintage girl when it come to property, and i already known tugu as one of the heritage hotels in Indonesia. Never visit the other site tho, but the brand is all about antique and vintage Javanese set up in my mind. And the one in Bali for sure was stunning set up. With all old Javanese furniture in lashes green surrounding. As now, the area is becoming upscale and trendy and hip area, Tugu hotel is seriously get away from modern and chic neighborhood in just steps away. If you like vintage hotel, this is THE one."

Talabgaon Castle: "Kind and welcoming! Delicious meals"

"We absolutely loved our stay in The Talabgaon Castle. And we are thankful for the hospitality of all of the caretakers of this beautiful property. Very reasonable prices and a fabulous room! We chose to do a jeep safari and guided tour of this Rajasthani village and found it to be full of beautiful and kind people, who are friendly and generous, invited us for masala chai. Palak Paneer here is incomparable. All of our meals were delicious and made fresh with home grown vegetables and fresh milk. This was our first time visiting India and our stay at the Talabgoan Castle was one of the highlights of our trip! We felt very welcome and were sad to be leaving. This was a great place for us to rest between the crowded streets of Jaipur and bright and noisy Agra. Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

GOLDEN BUDDHA BEACH RESORT: "Luxury Eco villa"

"We spent 4 nights here in February 2016 , staying in Bougainvillea Baan and absolutely loved it . The house was almost on the beach with well designed open decking areas , comfortable chairs for lounging in , outdoor shower , mosquito nets , dining area etc , plus a great collection of books and magazines to browse. It had a kitchen and dining table which went unused as we ate at the restaurant each evening . The food, service , and cocktails were excellent ; fresh and delicious every time . The club house and bar were great areas for sitting drinking and watching the sunsets and Happy Hour an absoloute must at 6 pm . The staff were always courteous , helpful and unfailingly polite. Loved the shop too , with a range of authentic and beautifully curated range of clothes , jewellery , glasses , textiles etc : we didn't bother going to the markets as everything we wanted to buy was here... And more ! A truly beautiful and magical place , made so by the people who work , run and manage it , and a special mention for Pena ! Very much intend to return "

Villa Song: "A perfect retreat after the trip"

Our two nights at Villa Song provided a relaxing start to our ambitious trip. The hotel is stylish, airy, comfortable and as lovely as it looks in the photos. We especially enjoyed breakfast on the banks of the river -- delicious, hearty Asian or Western options accompanied by an entertaining view of the boat traffic passing by. The hotel staff were exceptionally accommodating and kind (we had a member of our small group with a foot injury and they switched her to a larger room on the first floor at no extra charge). The showers are outstanding, the amenities top notch and they're generous with the bottled water (and the free minibar). If it was possible to give six stars, I would :)
