Talabgaon Castle: "Very unique and relaxing"

Review by: Brad R | Source: Trip Advisor
"My family and I stayed at the castle for three nights and spent Christmas there this year. It was wonderful, and a great place to slow down in between more hectic Indian stops. We entirely enjoyed the brief camel wagon ride to a small and under-visited Indian village. A great stop in between crazy and hectic Jaipur. Breakfast on the terrace and dinner next to the fireplace on the cool December nights were charming. We even had a local music group perform for us on Christmas Eve. It will certainly be a highlight of our time in India. My son even tried the pool even as it was only 50° outside"

Villa Song Saigon: "Blissful place for anniversary"

Review by: SgnExp | Source: Trip Advisor
"We had our wedding ceremony here 5 years before the renovation and they had added more rooms at the expense of some common balconies that used to be there. This time we travelled back to SGN for a visit and celebrate our anniversary. Booked the Art Suite and it was so comfy with river view especially early in the morning. Opted for Vietnamese breakfast and simply loved the deli beef pho as well as the rice roll with minced meat. The iced coffee milk was great. The breaky was just simply superb! Indeed the whole place is blissful especially when enjoying the breeze sitting by the river. We had a surprise anniversary cake from them too and many thanks to Ms Nhu, Freddie and Yega for making our stay memorable. What is regrettable was the Thao Dien Village now which used to be part of Villa Song is now separated under different stakeholder. We were there to take photos but was bluntly told off not to do so unless we informed the management there. Utterly annoyed with such rudeness from someone in hospitality industry."

Mudanwan Villa: "A good place to vent"

Review by: 定洲 蔡 | Source: Trip Advisor
Located hsuhai peony Bay Villa, although a bit far away, but really is a good city to abandon a good place for the hustle and bustle. Here is a fresh five-Park, from check in the beginning has been Chichi Chi, all kinds of fruit drinks with 24-hour supply, quality lunch and dinner with midnight snack is also good, if you do not think the restaurant to eat, then supper with breakfast and fruit drinks can be delivered to the room use. There is a large outdoor pond hotel has provided fishing tackle, caught fish can help you cook. There is an infinity outdoor pool and outdoor hot spring SPA area, plus room and outside Jie bathing place, so since this place is suitable for all year round, the best two nights more than once before they can unwind with enjoyment.

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "Great hotel in great location"

Review by: Bechter A | Source: Trip Advisor
The hotel is perfectly located on a white sandy beach with crystal-clear waters just a stone throw away from the Gili islands. The rooms are very spacious and clean and housekeeping is paying a lot of attention to details. Breakfast is great with many choices of made-to-order dishes, dinner choices a bit limited but quality of the food is good. Highly recommend to go for the boat tour arranged by the hotel, the skippers/snorkeling guides will find the best snorkeling spots for you around the Gili islands. All in all a great stay and we will definitely go back.

"This is our second time visiting here and better than ever. The staff and rooms are amazing. The food is the best I have ever tasted and I love Indian food the stability of the Hotel from the manager to the gardeners is wonderful and doesn't change. Anyone who needs to unwind this is the place to do it if you love the beach and the sea you have it in abundance. Room Tip: Pay a little extra and have a sea view room so tranquil"

Tugu Malang: "Flawless and one of a kind."

Review by: Brendan R | Source: Trip Advisor
"Tugu is absolutely soaked in colonial era charm. It comes through in the way they support you throughout the visit. It's in the architecture and extensive art collection. It's all through the menu in the restaurant. It's in the amazing choices of furniture and design. We were given the exact suite we asked for. The tub was beautiful and nicely proportioned. The linens are really comfortable, and high-slung bed is interesting. We spent a lot of time relaxing at the hotel, because it was just that nice. (...) By all means, stay at the Tugu and really explore the place. It's got all kinds of interesting nooks and crannies. Check out Mount Bromo too - and bring your warmest clothes... it's really chilly up there in the morning. Tugu has fast internet, which is good too! Of all the great things which could be said about the hotel -- it really is the wonderful people that make the place great. Friendly and genuine."

Tugu Malang: "Wonderful stay in a slightly eccentric hotel."

Review by: ozone_warrior | Source: tripadvisor.com
"What an experience!! This hotel was perfect, get the best room you can afford - it is so worth it. The hotel is an attraction in its own right, make sure you take the tour to see the VIP suites and function rooms., the bizarre collection of furniture and nick nacks courtesy of the owners. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and all of the trips we took originated from their suggestions and with their help. The piece de resistance is the full day tour to Mt Bromo with waterfall included, organised and accompanied by front desk staff (amazing). Malang itself is a wonderful indonesian city with first rate coffee shops, a great bird market and some lovely streets to walk down. PS(the free afternoon tea is a must)"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Just Sensational !"

Review by: Alan B | Source: Trip Advisor
"This restaurant would STAND OUT anywhere from its pure white Zen architecture with its giant wall of glass & bamboo roof overlooking the Inya Lake in Yangon its pure perfection. We arrived for dinner and decided to have cocktails outside by the lake filled with water lilies. Perfect Yuzu Sours & fresh blended juices so good you could of drunk them all night, we were so happy and oblivious to time it was just us and the lake.Although happy the restsurant was full but with its spaced tables its just you ! We were offered the choice of seating inside or on the upper terrace which we chose. They offer two set menus of four or five courses plus a la carte. We selected the Lotus menu which offered more seafood/fish options. Presentation was modern and beautifully simplistic with each mouthful an explosion of perfectly balanced flavours. We chose four courses appetizer soup main with a choice on all and desert, we could of added cheese. Its European with a touch of Asian ingredients but the sauces that dot the plate are super and bring out the Asian taste. They offer a very nice wine list and some super wines by the glass. This is One superbly run restaurant, everything has been thought out with impeccable friendly service. Dinner was so good we came back for a late Sunday lunch and was able then to really see how beautiful the setting was. To the Chef & the beautiful Lady owner Thank You xx "
