Tugu Malang: "Prachtig hotel met uitstekende voorzieningen en vriendelijk personeel"

Bij aankomst was meteen duidelijk dat dit niet zomaar een hotel is. Door de prachtige decoratie en authentieke inrichting is dit een van de mooiste hotels die we tijdens onze reis bezoeken. De kamers zijn luxueus en ruim. Het personeel is bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Een echte aanrader voor de veeleisende vakantieganger. Met name de afternoon tea is erg leuk om wat te snoepen en leuke mensen te ontmoeten om gezellig mee te babbelen

Maison Polanka: "We felt very privileged"

"We felt very privileged to stay at la Maison Polanka. It is not a hotel; no room number, you take off your shoes before entering your room, someone comes to you with a cold scented towel when entering the property after a walk, a waiter brings you a glass of water when sitting in the garden... Everything is organized to make you feel like you are a special guest! Cathy the manager understands your expectations and is totally dedicated to her job and to make you feel special. (...) The house is authentic, full of charm and character. The garden is amazing and the large pool is warm and always clean. Staying at Maison Polenka made us feel very privileged and we would definitely recommend it for anyone who wishes to find a peaceful, tailored-to-your-needs, beautiful and comfortable place! Merci beaucoup!"

LEOPARD SAFARIS - WILPATTU: "Highlight of our trip"

"We booked our safari with Noel's leopard safaris after reading the other reviews even though initially we thought it seemed expensive. The whole thing was brilliant, our camp host and safari guide Pila, is a walking encyclopedia and wildlife expert. He also has eyes like a hawk and an amazing ability to spot hidden wildlife. We arrived each morning as the park opened and though there were never many other jeeps he always lost them. Possibly beginners luck, we saw 2 leopards and a sloth bear on our first safari, along with a miriad of smaller mammals and gorgeous birds. Then on our last trip finally saw 2 elephants. This would have been enough but in addition the tents are comfortable and the food delicious. If you are not sure don't hesitate you won't regret it. "

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Excelent boutique hotel"

I stayed 2 nights. It is a small and very comfortable hotel. Staff is very friendly ready to make your stay in Luang Prabamg memorable. The food was good. Hotel located on the other side of the Khan River making it quite and more local. The hotel has a boat to cross the river (2 min.).

Reverie Siam: "Away from the city for a break"

"I love Reverie de Siam! The style, the service, the food, the comfort! Even the water pressure is worth mentioning,.. I've been twice and am going again in the near future. Nothing but good things to say about Seb (owner / manager) Ben Asst. General Manager and Khun Dee - the Matre de Hotel."

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Parfait"

"Très belle endroit pour se ressourcer, un lieu paisible, proche de la nature et classe à la fois. Le service est efficace et très sympathique ( accueil, resto, massage et guide) Très très bon moments Merci,"

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "The Highlight of our SL trip"

"We are 3 couples, 2 expats and 1 couple first time Australians to SL on a 21 day round trip. This is the 2nd time that I have used the 3day/2 night safari option. the 1st being in 2012 when the camp was actually located inside the park. To demonstrate the importance of this incredible experience, I should mention that the whole trip was based around the availability at the camp and to ensure that it did not coincide with a local holiday when hordes of holiday makers descend on the park. Well enough of the preamble, just how am I going to describe the most fantastic and memorable event? Every aspect of the safari is well planned and executed with precision. The service from all the staff is impeccable, the food absolutely delicious, varied and plentiful, The knowledge of our guides Delanka and Noel himself are unsurpassed and we saw every animal type in the park including 2 sightings of a Leopard mother and her 3 9 month old cubs. Of course these sightings can't be guaranteed but your chances are immensely improved if you put your faith in such a proven outfit. Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris is an organization committed to preserving, sustaining and improving the natural environment that they and others operate in and you can only hope that they succeed as there are many obstacles to be overcome. I encourage anybody who is contemplating visiting Yala to use this organization. I am hopeful of returning in 2 years time with a much larger group and will certainly be using their services again."

Inle Princess Resort: "Remains charming"

"Love this hotel. Its unique and peaceful situation with lovely rooms/bungalows and its impressive and helpful staff makes this the ideal place to explore the lake and its surrounding villages and temples. One of the best places to stay in Myanmar. Food is good too. Breakfast and dinner looking over the inlet is as good as it gets. Our fourth stay here."

Nimmu House: "Charming, peaceful, warm and stunning"

"Difficult to say what is best: the house? the tents? the whole staff? the location? the views? We had an amazingly fulfilling 7-day stay at Nimmu House. Met some great people. Had some great long chats. Had beautiful walks. Even had a very nice bicycle ride. The beauty of the valley and the surrounding mountains, the feeling of equanimity.It is pretty hard to beat such an experience."

Tugu Lombok: "10/10!"

"My partner and I stayed at Tugu hotel in late September for a week and just could not speak highly enough of the place. It doesn't have the 'grand entrance' like other more commercial resorts do, but that really does work to Tugu's advantage, as it is like no other hotel you'll stay at. To make it easy for anyone deciding whether to stay here in the future, here is a list of pros and cons: Pros: - There is a lot of work gone into this hotel to make it very unique, for example; the owner/ designer has purchased many pieces of traditional antique statues from all over the show (large and small) that are randomly situated around the hotel grounds with stories all about them in regards to their history and culture. - There's a very authentic/ traditional vibe, which you cant help but feel immersed in and inspired by - The food is great. It's not a regular buffet breakfast, they make everything for you personally. P.S - The Jackfuit Curry is a must! P.P.S - I'm vegan and the staff more than catered to my needs by removing certain ingredients for me with no hassle. - Even though the place was fully booked, it never felt crowded, which made the whole stay more relaxing and enjoyable. You never had to fight for a sunbed or table etc. - The private beach is beautiful...those crystal azure blue waters that you see on postcards type of deal... (although not the best at low tide for swimming from the coral). - Lastly I would say, the staff are what made the stay just so memorable. They go out of their way to do anything to make you have a great time. At the end when we drove away, there were about 6 of them that waved us off! I almost felt emotional because they treated us like family (and I was so sad to leave)! Cons: - There's nothing really around in close vicinity to this resort (not really a con for us because the hotel is so amazing you don't really need to leave) but for the more adventurous/ partying types - this could be a negative maybe? In saying that, you can hire scooters and venture out. All in all I give Tugu the biggest thumbs up. My partner and I always talk about our stay there and how much we want to go back!"
