Manukan Island Resort: "Fantastic way to start the holiday!"

Review by: Beth8737 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Arrived at Manakan and the staff were fantastic greeted us straight from the boat, check in staff Welter was BRILLIANT and couldn't do enough for us helped us with transfers to our next destination and was just really helpful, warm and friendly. The room was great in hindsight it would have def paid more for one of the rooms within the trees as the view from there rooms just looked amazing! Great walks through the jungle but mosquito spray is ESSENTIAL!!!!! Dinner was lovely could do with more veggie options though but that seems to be a theme throughout Borneo. Lovely beach and just like everyone says once the tourists go you feel like the islands yours. Food was really good and a great price! Especially when compared to other hotels. Diving was nice although the corals are looking a bit sad and a lot have died but no fault of the resorts. Sunset point whilst it has a bin really needs someone to take the trash as over flowing bins kind of ruined it a little also once the tourists have gone a bit more effort into taking trash of the bin could be in place. A great start to the holiday and honestly a beautiful place which I'd def recommend"

Mudanwan Villa: "Superior Villa"

Review by: 高級Villa | Source: Trip Advisor
It is recommended at this high level of Villa Pingtung hsuhai! Forget the troubles of working life, easily come here to vacation! Here you can consume a whole day! The offer five meals, every meal is a feast for the taste buds, now play 24 hours of juice very healthy! You can hot springs in the room, you can also rent a bicycle to see the sea close to nodding! Although the cheap price, but it is definitely value of enjoyment! !

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "One of India’s best boutique beach resorts"

Review by: Richard S | Source: Trip Advisor
"Just 18 bungalows/rooms, each beautifully and comfortably furnished with their own semi-outdoor bathrooms. Efficient air conditioning. Spa with a range of treatments and massages. An endless white sand beach. Good sized pool although more sunloungers might be a good idea. Yoga centre. Two restaurants to choose from: one on the beach which is especially fabulous at breakfast. Fresh seafood and lots of local dishes too. And everything is set in beautiful gardens. A truly relaxing place to stay. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "A master at work"

Review by: Nick_Chill | Source: Trip Advisor
Chef Black is a true culinary master. His passion for food - from making his own soy sauces and spirits, to hand crafting seperate meals for all customers, is astonishing. Come visit this young virtuoso before the world comes knocking. Make sure to book in advance, and remember this is a small venue which would fit a max of 12 guests

Review by: John P | Source: Trip Advisor
Our room was spacious and unique in interior design. The staff were charming and very helpful. Hotel is small and has the feel of a private club. Good location near major shopping centers and the train.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Great hospitality, nice and cozy place"

Review by: wasit l | Source: Trip Advisor
Just got back from a 3-night visit in Luang phrabang. Stay here is fantastic. The place is very relaxed and cozy. Nice experience to ride a boat to downtown. The staff is great, especially Hann (GM) Who has excellent service-minded. I would love to go there again as the escape weekend.

Tugu Bali: "Very lovely"

Review by: SamanthaP36 | Source: Trip Advisor
"A true TUGU experience. Peaceful, good service. They have a lawn area with direct access to the beach.Turn left and the beach goes on forever and it's a clean beach too (a rarity in Indonesia). Anyway the room are beautiful, it has a lovely garden and as usual the hotel is full of antiques and artifacts. To note: The rooms upstairs have access via a spiral staircase, it quite steep. (this might be a consideration for some if you have mobility restrictions or don't like heights) The restaurant was good but pricey for the quality (I'm used to Jakarta price/quality ratio)"

Maison Polanka: "A paradize"

Review by: pierrew435 | Source: Trip Advisor
Just a word: perfect! An outstanding service, a beautiful place, an excellent food, what else? All is done so that every thing becomes easy (use the hotel's tuc tuc!). Massage is a must do.A place very hard to leave.

Nimmu House Ladakh: "The place to stay in if you are in Ladakh"

Review by: Narayanan M | Source: Trip Advisor
"Nimmu House is located in a village about 40 kms from Leh. The property is actually a traditional Ladakhi house. Let me say at the outset that we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It is not your usual hotel with television etc. The garden is relaxing and it has nice hammocks. The food you get is mostly continental and it's delicious. You get to walk around Nimmu village and watch the local cattle (called Dzorns) graze. The best part is that this property is away from the hustle and bustle of the main town of Leh. Overall a big thumbs up !"
