Summertime Villa: "Simply magical"

Review by: sarvindorabw | Source: Trip Advisor
We found Summertime to be absolutely magical. The serenity and beauty is outstanding. We could hear the birdsong all day. The house is perfect in every way with the greatest attention to every little detail. Prakash, Dinesh and Vaibhav were great, the food was fabulous. We would definitely want to come back again and again. Thank you Sucheta & Hans for also showing us around your lovely home `Aranya’. P.S. We loved meeting Jango, Gina and Bubbly too!

Inle Princess Resort: "Unique Location, Fantastic Accommodation and Service"

Review by: Don B | Source: Trip Advisor
My wife and I spent two most enjoyable nights at this resort. Starting from the arrival by boat, and the gorgeous location, we were thoroughly impressed with what they had to offer. Accommodation is in individual chalet/cottage type units, that are very luxurious. Ours faced the Lotus Pond and the Lake. No motorized vehicles, by road or by water, are allowed in the area of the property where the guests are accommodated. The dining room faces the lake, and we were fortunate to be able to enjoy our meals on the patio. This is a resort not to be missed if one is visiting Inle Lake. Thank you all for making our stay in Myanmar most memorable. Wish our stay was longer!

Arumdalu Private Resort: "A great escape, yet conserving nature as well!"

Review by: Dio S | Source: Trip Advisor
A large sized room designed with combination of modern-indonesian style. Environment is nice and well preserved. Air temperature is suprisingly quite cool, unlike the other beaches in common. Oh, Don't forget the food, the chef has an ultimate way to satisfy your gastronomic needs! Recommended place to stay.

I returned here in 2016 for another week because I had stayed the previous year and I couldn't wait to get back.This must be THE BEST LUXURIOUS houseboat on Daal Lake with the most attentive staff.Breakfast on the roof is what travelling worth saving our time and money for. Lunch and Dinner are carefully prepared.The ambience of the Houseboat,its architecture ,its setting on the furthermost quiet part of the lake and all the wonderful staff are well worth venturing to this amazing part of the world for an experience that will stay with you in your most unique travel memories.

Review by: Somavita S | Source: Trip Advisor
"I really love this hotel. It's so amazing and wonderful. They have a lot of etnic equipment. Every room has difference style. Here they have equipment from Oei Tiong Ham, the very rich people in 1900. All the staf is kind dan very helpful. some of staf could be a guide for the guest to explain each room, each equipment and others. Like visit a museum. There are a lot of story here. Very recommended hotel if you go to malang. If we have could not stay here. They have melati restaurant which is open 24 hours."

Review by: taonuiestate | Source: Trip Advisor
Village house is the perfect place to relax sit back and enjoy. The setting is great, the food really nice you have to do the " taste of Borneo" menu. The staff very nice and helpful. If you want more than hanging around the pool reading, staff can arrange all your trips.

Villa Mathis: "Married at La Villa Mathis"

Review by: Ann S | Source: Trip Advisor
I got married here in 2011. We had checked in late as we had to drop our guests off to another hotel they were staying at. However when we checked in, Bruno had actually called in to see how we were and if we had any question or queries to let him know and he'll be in the following day to meet us (my husband & I). This whole place was amazing! We loved the food and also note that this was our first time to Bali as well. Our room was amazing with alot of room and I loved how we entered and the bath tub was filled with flowers. It did get dark at night as our room was at the bottom and when we would come back from excursions, we would have a guard walk us back to our room but after a night or two we were confident to go on our own. The night before our wedding, I had asked if the ladies from our wedding guests could stay the night and the staff organised rooms quickly for them. Our wedding day, Bruno's wife (sorry I forgot your name! lovely lady) had met up with me to see how I was feeling and making sure everything was getting organised as planned. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our first time to Bali and to have our wedding here was amazing! I would be coming back here hopefully on our fifth year anniversary! Sorry for the late post but thank you La Villa Mathis.
