Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Harmony, quality and privacy"
"Our family visited Sea Dance at the end of December 2016. Since the very first moment, we felt very welcome and got a ""home feeling"" in combination with top quality and excellent comfort. The resort is not too big, which gives you feeling of privacy, but as everyone feels so much at ease there, there are plenty of opportunities to chat to other guests and staff members. Accommodation and facilities were perfect. There were always free chairs at the pool and plenty of clean towels. The food was amazing - everything beautifully presented, fresh and healthy and its prices really affordable. We spent a fantastic New Year's evening at Sea Dance - Atom and her band played live music, people danced, sang, ate and drank - it could really not be any better. Towards the end of our stay, we had a medical emergency and Mr Poy, the owner of the resort, took care of it personally, and helped us with everything we needed. We can definitely recommend Sea Dance to anyone, who looks for combination of privacy, quality, relax and entertainment, great food and fun! Stayed December 2016, traveled with family"Anopura: "Amazing creation in middle of nowhere"
"After reading trip advisor review, i booked this smallest luxury Oasis in middle of nowhere. There were no signages, google map was unable to assist you with direction, there was no signage outside the hotel and even the last patch of road was not in existence...... despite all this i just loved this property. I loved it for its tranquility, isolation and the creation of its maker. Anopura is very tastefully made and very professionally managed with limited people hanging on your head. The food was amazing and the dog 'Latika' was the best companion you could expect at a property like it, very well trained and joyful. Having just two rooms adds the charm to the place as it give you lot of privacy. This is simply great for couples looking for intimate and quality time with each other. Property has a beautiful square swimming pool made of black stone. There common place, kind of ‘baithak’, is very well planned and has comfortable seating, one can see 4/5 kind of mosquito repellants placed here as its an open area. I can keep telling all goodies about this place as my list in endless. Finally I will conclude that I fall in love with this place, will surely come again."4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "It is absolutely nice place to visit and stay!"
"That is really really nice place in term of pure natural views and fresh foods with low costs. The people there are so friendly and helpful. I went there so many times, including my honeymoon trip, whenever i want to kill work stress and stay in pure nature and enjoy local fresh foods. The chef there is also great. He can cook so many delicious foods and sweets especially ice-cream, my favorite sweet, with hygiene and fresh. Not only day time that i can go on many excursion places, but also at night time i can go to see amazing fire flies with romantic kayak for couple. whoooooh.... so many more! more than i can say! Room Tip: At the end of the south and north rooms are best rooms for honeymoon!"Cuca: "Hier moet moet MOET je naartoe!"
"Ok, het is geen Indonesisch eten, dus wil je alle dagen van de week rijsttafel eten, moet je hier niet zijn. Maar dan alsnog... MOET je hier naartoe! Naast dat het restaurant er simpel maar relaxt en netjes eruit ziet, is de ontvangst ook nog eens heel vriendelijk. Maar nog belangrijker: het eten is heerlijk! Laat je niet tegenhouden door het woord ‘tapas’ want het heeft niks te maken met de Spaanse taferelen die je wellicht associeert aan een La Cubanita. Nee. En nog eens nee. Ik heb 3 gerechten gekozen (had er wel meer willen nemen..) en allen smaakten heerlijk en apart. Uiteraard als afsluiter een dessert; Bali breakfast. En, je raadt het al, dit was ook mega genieten. Extra nice; ik zat buiten en kreeg meteen een muskito spray, ik was alleen en kreeg gezellig wat tijdschriften op tafel gelegd. Kortom: een hele dikke aanrader! (Excuses voor het hoge “wat schrijf ik overenthousiast” gehalte, maar ik ben erg blij dat ik dit restaurant toevallig ben tegengekomen en nu dus aan iedereen aan kan raden)"Tugu Lombok: "Vast rooms with plunge pools, lots of art and relaxed friendly style"
"We arrived here at the end of our holiday. Set on a very pleasant quiet area of Lombok near a local village it has great grounds with lots of sculptures and rather wacky at times art but fun! Room - very big with an enormous double bed, facing out onto a sweet garden then straight onto the beach also the garden has a great plunge pool. Comfortable rooms with good linen and bedding. We had an outdoor shower, bath etc and again a back garden complete with fish and additional water features! Staff - a delight, friendly yet professional with a good sense of humour and interest in their clientele. One spent ages teaching me the local Indonesian words they really. You can have your meals wherever you want here - on the beach, by the pool nothing is too much for the staff. Food: We were impressed with he food and enjoyed trying the different indonesian dishes for lunch and even breakfast - try the black rice with coconut and palm sugar. Afternoon tea is a mixture of local delicacies and sweet cakes. Facilities: two really great pools, paddle boards and all the snorkelling great available as well as bikes. We did a snorkelling trip on the hotel boat which is a traditional craft, lovely picnic provided by the hotel. Snorkelling is quite nice although I worry that full marine control isn't quite happening in Gilli and Lombok - lots of boats and lot of fishing - so we didn't see very many big fish but 4 turtles!! We did a great bike ride and enjoyed cycling through the villages where everyone was very smiley and welcoming. We took Adi one of the hotel drivers for a day and had a day trip - he was great, flexible and recognised easily what we wanted. The grounds - they really are a delight and make for a very restful holiday. Everything is easy. I was greeted each morning by the man who did the flower arrangements for all the rooms and dining and he always offered me one of his creations....it just is a friendly and easy place. I would readily come back."MesaStila: "Simply Paradise"
Surrounded by nature you reside in beautiful and authentic houses that just invite you to dream. The service is great, everybody is very friendly, the food is incredible and we felt truly spoiled. Start your day with a tasty breakfast and a healthy juice from the medicine lady (we just loved her), then visit the coffee plantation with a very charming guide and enjoy some hot bananas and end the day by chosing a tasty meal at the restaurant. Make sure you leave room for dessert. Furthermore, the guide from the hotel that accompanied us to Semarang guaranteed for a perfect day outside the hotel. We had a wonderful time and could really relax. It is also worthwile to book a spa session. The Hamam is incredible and the place is so lovely decorated. All I can say is that this place is truly Paradise.Mathis Retreat: "Superbe Hotel, Un sejour memorable a Ubud"
Everything was perfect, always smiling and helpful staff, infinity pool overlooking the rice fields, the breakfast very good and plentiful, the rooms beautifully decorated and arranged are very comfortable, fast WiFi throughout the hotel. Some rooms offer views breathtaking of rice fields, a beautiful sight to wake up! The hotel is quiet and intimate. This is a no-fault you can go for it.Tugu Bali: "Wonderful hotel"
"What a wonderful hotel, the rooms are very comfortable and well decorated and planned - the whole atmosphere of the place has a subtle sophistication. The staff are friendly and engaging, breakfast was delicious. Thank you!"Mrauk U Princess Resort: "What a Way to Ring in the New Year"
"The Princess is a gem in Mrauk Oo. The facilities are lovely and utilize the beauty of its location. The staff are wonderful, welcoming, and truly a delight to be with at the resort. We were there for New Year's Eve and they outdid themselves with an exceptional outdoor feast. A fixed menu that never seemed to end with each course yummier than the one before it. A fabulous start to the new year. A lovely spa as well. Enjoy!"Satri House: "GREAT"
Great friendly staff who are always willing to help out , restaurant is amazing and is totally under used as loads of people go out instead , which I think Is a shame , pools are fab and the rooms are top quality . Would recommend to everyone !!!!!!!
