Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "The highlight of my trip"

"Noel and Cecile were fantastic hosts and the whole experience at the campsite was wonderful. The staff are really friendly and everyone works so hard to make the experience memorable. The tents are thoughtfully equipped with everything that you need including a torch, mobile phone, fans, electrical sockets and ear plugs for when the jungle gets noisy at night! The food is delicious (best I had in Sri Lanka) and I loved the fact that everyone ate together around a big table so you got to know your fellow campers. The safaris were brilliant and Noel accompanied us on the morning drive and shared his extensive knowledge about the animals and their habitat. It was very exciting getting up at 4:45am and driving off through the semi-dark to the jungle! All in all it was a brilliant experience and I can't speak highly enough of this place. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else who is thinking of visiting Sri Lanka."

Jing’s Residence: "Terrific stay, best in Pingyao"

My family of four stayed 2 terrific nights at Jing's Residence in November 2016. The staff was incredibly attentive, and very engaging and friendly to our two young children. The hotel is beautiful, clean and well appointed. Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic food, also. Location is perfect for exploring Pingyao, and the hotel can arrange a reasonably priced car and driver to nearby attractions. Highly recommend this hotel to stay, and the restaurant also. Pingyao - due in part to how much we liked Jing's Residence - was one of my favorite experiences in China over four years living here.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "The Birthday Party of my life"

"I went to Sanak in December 2015 and fail in love with it, so this time I came back with many Friends for the celebration of my 30th Birthday. The welcome reserved by the staff was fantastic! The GM Sebastian is an amazing, professional and friendly warm person who made me feel at ease and relax. The food was sensational all my friends enjoyed it. The wine list is great we finished a couple of labels... My friends commented about the fantastic SPA, the quality of the service is wonderful with nice products and very friendly staff like everywhere else in the hotel. The rooms are pretty with an amazing view on volcanos and rice fields. Spotless! what a birthday! I couldn't have wished for better. I will remember it all my life and my friends too ! Thanks Sebastian and Sanak's team!!! you are remarkable! Stayed April 2017, traveled with friends"

Villa Mathis: "Excellent"

Accueil, service, propreté, rien à dire sinon que tout est parfait, le restaurant est digne d'un 3 étoiles aux normes française. De plus, cet etablisement est géré par un français ce qui facilite le dialogue et les conseils sur les visites à réaliser sont d'autant plus appréciables. Nous conseillons cet etablisement aux charmes hors du commun. Attention toutefois si vous avez des enfants jeunes. Le nombre de points d'eau, piscines, ruisseaux font de cet établissement un endroit où 'il ne faut pas laisser vos enfants sans surveillances.

Tugu Lombok: "A place for privacy and serenity"

"My hubs and I wanted as short getaway in Lombok. We were looking forward to a quiet and relaxing time and Hotel Tugu delivers it. The resort is Balinese style with a lot of art collections since the owner, I heard is an art collector. The resort is within a huge open space fronting pristine white beach. The villa we stayed was comfortable, clean and cooling. Food in the resort was delicious and reasonably priced. The most outstanding part of this resort is its team of people. Everyone was highly service oriented, from the front manager to the pakcik cleaning the ground. we had lovely chats with some of them. An area they could improve was probably the spa. It felt more like a massage than a spa. Small touches like a foot wash before the massage and a cup of ginger tea would have improved the whole experience. But it is a tiny blip on an otherwise outstanding experience. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Bali: "Heaven in the middle of Canggu"

It has been a few weeks now since I left this incredible place and I can't stop thinking about it. Just has Tugu Lombok, this resort is quite special and really impressive. Its architecture, design, art pieces, structure and AMAZING food converts your nights and days spent in that place in real dreams. I really recommend the resort, because you'll never forget it.

NEELESHWAR: "Exceptional in every way"

"My husband and I did the 7-day detox package, which includes yoga, meals made to suit our constitutions and health requirements, and 2 luxurious Ayurvedic treatments a day, plus consultation with their Ayurvedic Doctor. There's no doubt we've never felt better, but on top of that we were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service, the kindness and attentiveness of the people who work there and the stunning gardens, pool and sea views. And the food is an art - fresh, creative, flavourful and satisfying. Truly a first class experience, with every detail attended to beyond our expectations. What makes this place special above all are the wonderful people who will make your stay more than just a vacation, but a lifelong memory. It may seem expensive, but it's worth every dollar! If you go, be sure to take their free bicycles out for a ride in the village! "

Tugu Lombok: "Fantastic in every sense of the word"

"Small (37 rooms), quiet, deluxe hotel on pristine white beach. The rooms are in villas and bungalows dotted throughout the extensive, well-tended gardens, which are full of intriguing Indonesian artefacts. The gardens are also full of birds, bees and at night bats - fantastic. Amazing food and lovely staff who just can't do enough for the guests. You really are made to feel like personal guests - everyone knew our names! Great little bar - each public room has a theme and a story to be told. The Cocktail King makes fantastic cocktails; the beer and wine's good too. Our beachfront villa was large with a fantastic private pool. There was even a fishpond in the villa's front garden. The huge bed was really comfortable and the shower-room/bathroom was amazing. Useful touches include ample space for clothes, loads of towels, bathrobes and slippers. Really loved the place. Can't recommend it highly enough. Stayed March 2017"

tugu bali: "We wanted a WOW !!!!!! place to send our first Christmas! We found it! Hidden Secret"

"My boyfriend and i wanted a WOW place to spend Christmas. I went on internet and typed : "" best places to spend Christmas"" and i found an article from Condè Nast saying : Bali, and the best hotel to go : Tugu Hotel ! So i booked. The hotel is amazing since the owner is the biggest art collector of Indonesia, you can really feel a good ""vibe"" BUT the service is even more amazing. We rented the Dendari Suite(we had our private pool and private court yard with a fish pound, with a private swing bed !!!. They brought us to our room at midnight after a 30h flight ..., candles were lit, encent was burning on the way to our door AND our HUGE bath was filled with warm water, flowers and lemongrass essential oil..... WOWWW, the rest was just like that, there is only 21 rooms so the concept is that you can have your breakfast, lunch diner where ever you like, at the beach, at in the Chinese Temple, in your room, near the pound whereever ! The food at the hotel is great, i would really advice you take the romantic package !! It comes with a 2h30 pampering at the spa that finished with them washing your hair, outside, on an antique chair, WOW ! Kadet at the spa is amazing, Khrischna our waiter was so nice loving and caring like the rest of the staff. Kelly, the hotel manager was there for us if you need her and made sure our stay was perfect! The only thing, and i told it to Kelly is that there internet site does not show how great this place is!!! I want to go back !!!!!!!! "

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Pretty as the pictures"

We stayed here two nights rather than the three scheduled because of a change in itinerary. Room was gorgeous, pool and gardens the same. Probably the best breakfast we had throughout our stay in Malaysia (mostly in Borneo). Front desk staff helpful in answering our questions, set up a day long tour with local guide, to visit the specific sights we wanted to see. All around excellent. We just wish we could have stayed the extra night.
