Tandjung Sari: "12 Days at Tandjung"

Review by: David V | Source: tripadvisor.com
Our stay was very close to perfect- we selected a garden villa as our home base for the family holiday. The staff at Tandjung were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Starting each day with a shower (in the private outside villa courtyard) then having breakfast on the beachfront was a daily highlight for me. The villa and the grounds and the facilities around the resort were immaculate and the security staff at both ends of the property added to a sense of exclusivity. And lastly, Tandjung is great value; a similar quality room at a Seminyak resort cost my cousin more than double the rate. We will come back to Tandjung Sari for sure.

Hotel Tugu Lombok: "This is a Must Go To Experience!"

Review by: Bodyartspitfire | Source: Trip Advisor
"This Hotel makes you feel so welcome that you almost feel out of place. The rooms are nothing but absolutely beautiful, and you feel like walking into Indonesian palace! This hotel, which specializes in old style Indonesia has lots of old antiques all over the place, and you can probably walk around the premises for several days just mesmerizing over all the decor, statues and never get tired of it. The staff and service is flawless. Henry, and the rest, were nothing but smiling, funny, and incredible nice. They hotel beach is clean and beautiful, and they have an infinity pool just by the restaurant which gives a very relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. The food is impeccably delicious. We also got a complimentary massage, and boy, do those girls do wonders! Magic hands who were able to find every knot and tight muscle, and you left them feeling good and refreshed for hours! All I can say is that we regretfully only got to have one night at this place, but next time it will be for longer. No doubt! 10/10 would visit again!"

Supanniga Eating Room: "Good range of dishes"

Review by: kchristabel | Source: Trip Advisor
No regrets on decision to have lunch here. Pretty decor and comfy eating space. A good place to have meals or gathering with friends/colleagues/family. They offer a large range in their menu, so picking what to eat was overwhelming. Would visit again to try other dishes.

Tugu Malang: "Superb hotel in every way"

Review by: Keith S | Source: Trip Advisor
"This city-centre hotel is a complete gem. Beautifully designed around 1990 by a wealthy antiques enthusiast, this is a place with very high standards of staff service and enthusiasm. It is a treasure-trove of fascinating period rooms and spaces, crammed with wonderful artefacts of various periods, which the staff are very eager to take you round and explain. The bedrooms are very well thought out to a high spec, and with good wifi. The pool is a very good size, and beautifully lit at night. The breakfasts are of utter blow-out proportions, with great menu choices, though do allow plenty of time as each person's is individually prepared. You get a lovely complimentary afternoon Indonesian 'high tea' on the terrace. The bar is like a connoisseur's wine cellar. And don't forget the in-house bakery, with breads and cakes of the highest quality open till 11pm. If you take the guided tour, the hotel staff will take you round the top-end luxury suites (if not occupied), even though these are probably beyond the wallets of ordinary mortals. Hard to fault in any way. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Felt like home away from home"

Review by: HariniSri | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at Neeleshwar Hermitage last month (Spetember 2015) and it was an awesome experience. We arrived at the place in the evening after a long and tiresome drive from Mangalore Airport. With two young and cranky kids..we were exhausted. But the traditional and warm reception we got at the Reception hall certainly cheered our grumpy lot quite a bit. First thing, I noticed at this place was, how Eco-concious they are. They have a no plastic policy, they do not use garbage churning stuff. Their restrooms have cloth towels rather than paper ones. All fresh and white. Their place has so much of greenery. Lovely Hibiscus all around. They make generous use of the flowers to decorate the premises including their spacious beautiful rooms. When we reached our room, we were greeted by the mild fragrance of incense and flowers. Soooo relaxing.. (...) My younger 3 year old got sick one night and they made sure that we got the medicine we required, even during night with short notice. They made sure we got a see a Paediatrician early next morning. I am truly grateful for their help. Not to forget, at my request they gave me some Hibiscus cuttings to carry back home and plant. Overall, an awesome place. Will go again with friends and family. "

Cuca: "Best meal I’ve had in Bali"

Review by: ellysylin | Source: Trip Advisor
"這位廚師的手藝讓我不得不打個卡紀錄。口感味道層次都抓的剛剛好,有才華的廚師。雖然擺盤soso但完全得到歪嘴雞認證 One of the most splendid meal I've ever tasted since Budapest's Onyx and Dubai's Ossiano. I will definitely come again and recommend all my foodie friends to try. Very talented Spanish chef. If I must have to pick one flaw, that would be the setting of the dishes."

Summertime Villa: "A delightful stay"

Review by: noobietraveler | Source: Trip Advisor
You want a piece of heaven, people say head to Goa. You want a piece of heaven, a place to call your own for few days, head to Summertime in Goa. For me, it was love at first sight. It is tucked in one of the by lanes of Calangute, away from the noise, has a small sprawling drive up to the main house and a private swimming pool to boast. It is built like a Balinese villa, is open, spacious and is extremely welcoming. It has an in house kitchen and a few hours’ notice the help can whip up delicious and scrumptious food. We had biryani, eggs and cold coffee. Yum!! It is close hustle and the bustle and yet offers peace and serenity which is so essential. The hidden and the real gem are the books shelves. They even have books in the chairs. And don’t miss the delightful and fun conversation with the owners. You just wouldn’t wanna leave

Villa Song Saigon: "Luxury stay in District 2"

Review by: islander_addict | Source: Trip Advisor
"The most important thing for travellers to know is that District 2 is a fair ways from the centre of HCMC. However, the free shuttle boat ride along the river to the central docks was one of the highlights of staying at Villa Song. On the way back (the last return boat is around 7pm) you can easily hail an Uber for less than $10USD. When we first checked in, we were given room 101 which was small and dark. After speaking with the front desk, we were quickly moved to a room on the 3rd floor that was much bigger and full of light without any questions asked. That generally sums up the service: excellent. The included breakfast is also a real highlight, although recommend waking up early as it gets very hot by 9am. The hotel can also help organize boat trips to the Chu Chi tunnels with La Reve where the boat picks you up right from the hotel. Room Tip: Nothing on the 1st floor"

Rachamankha: "Truly Fantastic Hotel"

Review by: KiwiPete1 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"This was our second stay at this wonderful boutique hotel in Chiang Mai. This time we stayed for seven nights and our intention was to rest and relax in this haven in the the old part of the city. The location is fantastic. It is only a quick 15 minute drive from the airport and it is situated down a quiet side street that is an easy walk to shops, bars and restaurants and also to the night walking market. Its location means that is is quiet. If you have an interest or appreciation for great architecture then you will really love the way that this hotel has been designed. The bedrooms are large, beautifully furnished and have very comfortable beds. The lobby and outdoors areas are stunning. The pool area is wonderful. The pool is large and very clean.(..) The Rachamankha has a beautiful dining room and it is here that they serve an a la carte breakfast which is top notch. We also had a number of evening meals here and they were great too. This hotel is stunning. Great facilities, beautiful environment, fantastic location - all topped off by outstanding service which is very attentive without being intrusive. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough"
