Talabgaon Castle: "ABOVE & BEYOND our expectations!!"

Review by: Olivia S | Source: tripadvisor.com
"First and for most , sorry it's taken this long. We were there in late March 2015. We had the pleasure of experiencing the absolute grandeur of 'Talabgaon Castle' through our tour company 'Trinetra Tours'. Don't be put off by the drive to the place, as it seems endless. But, wait till you get there....... Words fail me about the grandeur of the place. This is somewhere you would go......just to 'chill' and enjoy the surroundings. We were a large group of 12 and every room was special. Mr Dalpat the owner, organized some Rajasthanie folk dancing for our entertainment, during dinner and it is something we still talk about. Thank you! We had a perfect night in every way. Staff and service could not be faulted and in short it's worth the trip. Do something different and experience the grandeur."

KHWAN BEACH RESORT: "A secreat retreat"

Review by: Patmag2014 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Our couple experienced once again a too short but unforgettable week-end stay in Khwan Beach, right by the beach of Maenam Though they added 4 new villas to the 3 ones thay had only for our first visit, it was very much unbelievable to find such high quality of personal service repeated in a larger boutique hotel and such in-villa service, delightful and with exceptional decoration ( no wonder they call themselves the first Gallery resort in Thailand ) We had again all our wishes coming true as they advertised on their web site. Privacy still at its optimum in spite the 4 new villas, with a sensation of being at home with a rare view over a river, beach, ocean and the island of Koh Phangan !!! And no one to look at us in our private garden and amazing swimming pool. The whole staff is super, special thanks to Gaelle and Nittaya We will be back again soon within few months, we highly recommend this secret retreat!!! "

Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Charming Boutique Hotel"

Review by: Nephilim242 | Source: tripadvisor.com
Fell in love with this hotel as soon as I arrived and had to sit in the magnificent library for a while to wait until my room was ready. This hotel reminded me of a smaller version of Raffles in Singapore. Great attention to detail, superb breakfast, friendly staff and spacious rooms. Loved the pool on top of the residence and had a great meal at the restaurant. Location is superb with close proximity to BTS and other excellent restaurants at Rain Hill.

Satri House: "Souvenirs d’Indochine"

Review by: Pascal B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Hôtel de charme à 10 minutes à pieds du centre. Idéal pour retrouver le calme après une journée de visites. Très bon petit déjeuner, piscine calme, à l'abris du soleil, personnel attentionné. Grandes chambres, déco de l'hôtel et des chambres dans le style, sans fausse note, jusque dans les parfums subtils. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Bali: "One of the best hotels I stayed in"

Review by: sarah d | Source: Trip Advisor
This is by far one fo the best hotel I've stayed in. The room we had was comfortable and super spacious. The staff is what makes this hotel, they are very attentive and discreet. The pool is great, the food is delicious, the location is wonderful, right next to the beach and the Old Man's restaurant/beach bar. The massages were good too. I would definitely stay there again.

Villa Mathis: "Incredible stay"

Review by: Cole R | Source: Trip Advisor
Everything was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend the Borneo suite and the "romantic package." The massages are incredible as well! The manager, Chris, and all of the staff are extremely friendly and bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and more than comfortable. Even when we weren't staying the night, we came back to Villa Mathis just to swim, relax, have massages and eat. The perfect Balinese experience.

Mrauk U Princess Resort: "A lush oasis in a dusty town"

Review by: ZZ12404 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Mrauk U Princess Resort is a lovely property and a wonderful place to retreat to after a long day of sightseeing and visiting the incredible and unspoiled historic temples in Mrauk U. Mrauk U itself is a dusty and bustling town and the temples are worth the long trip. The hotel arranged for a car to meet us at the Sittwe Airport for a three-hour drive and we availed ourselves of a peaceful ride back to Sittwe on one of the hotel's large motorboats. The five-hour journey included an excellent lunch and was an enjoyable way to see the riverfront views and a peaceful way to travel. The hotel is comprised of a number of authentic villas created completely by hand of carved teak in the local style. Furnished with local fabrics and decor, each is a mix of modern conveniences and Rakhine authenticity. There's also a unique swimming pool, set down in the middle of a pond. The dining facilities, bar and public accommodations are spacious and the very helpful and friendly staff anticipates your every need. The food is excellent and the spa offers a full range of massage and other services. The hotel arranged an excellent guide and tour of the historic temples by Tuk Tuk as well as home-made croissants and coffee at dawn on the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise over the mountains. Getting to Mrauk U takes some time, but it's definitely worth the trip. The Mrauk U Princess is a wonderful and welcoming retreat and is highly recommended."

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."
