The Hue House: "Visit from Sydney"
I was blown away by the fantastic food at The Hue House, the flavours danced on your tongue and stayed with you all through dinner, this is a restaurant you have to go to to experience true Vietnamese foodThe Island Lodge: "Amazing stay in this hotel !"
We spend 5 nights in this hotel, everything was perfect : rooms are nice and full furnished, very quiet environment ! And the owners of this paradise Françoise and Michel are so nice and helpful. The restaurant is also amazing (you have test quiche lorraine and fondant chocolat). I warmly recommend this place if you want a fantastic stay in Vietnam.Mie Cafe: "The best meal i had on this trip of close to one month"
The chef is very proud of what he makes and we were not disappointed. I ordered scallops ceviche and oxtail.. both delicious. I wanted to go back and order the dish with red ants but could not manage to go back there, I go to Cambodia every year and try to go there every time. My guest were also very happy with what they ordered.Tugu Bali: "Loved this hotel!"
"For the record , this is the first time I've ever given a 5 star rating ! This hotel was awesome! Especially the staff . So welcoming and friendly. When we first arrived , the Assistant Manager , Ari greeted us with a welcome beverage and introduction to the hotel . There was a dinner show going on at the time in the lobby so we're able to watch while we waiting for our room to be ready . When we were walking to our room , it was like being in a garden temple , so much culture and greenery and art work , it was like a museum Of Bali culture and art. Nice walkways , bridges , areas to have romantic dinners , etc and close to the beach . I can't say enough about the room! Our own pool! How unexpected! And an out door swing and outdoor bathroom with a fish pond surrounding it. So serene. It was off-season so the hotel is very quiet , no parties or loud music which we loved. They also have a lovely pool area, afternoon tea, cooking lessons, and great restaurants . Our favourite was the outdoor barbecue restaurant overlooking the surf where we had the most perfect view of the sunset . I would definitely highly recommend this hotel , loved it, thank you ."Manda De Laos: "Great food fabulous setting"
The Manda de Laos is set among several lotus ponds. Our hotel had made a reservation for us and we had a table positioned to enjoy the sunset. That was our only disappointment of the night as the clouds rolled in at the wrong time. Everything else was perfect. My buffalo was tender as and my wife's duck fabulous. This is not a cheap eat but worth every cent.MesaStila Resort and Spa: "Wonderful get away in central Java"
This is a wonderful resort set in the middle of a coffee plantation. A cool respite from the heat of Yogyakarta, the service in this resort is first rate, from the front desk to the restaurant etc. My wife indicated that the massage she received in the spa was one of the best she has ever had. The breakfasts were fabulous, the views awe-inspiring, and the arrange tour to the Borobudur temple was excellent. My only negative is that the fitness equipment was really second rate and not operational when I was there. But everything else was great!Les Maisons Wat Kor: "Excellent Small Hotel"
Stayed here for two nights in July. Room was spacious and well maintained with everything that you could need. The swimming pool is clean and very welcoming after a hot day. All staff are very good. Only had breakfast here which was fine but dinner menu also sounded good.Inle Princess Resort: "Stunning"
Just arriving at the hotel is a journey itself! Sailing through the lake and watching the fishermen and the village is stunning. The rooms are very spacious, but being in the forest makes you encounter spiders and lizards sometimes. The staff is always helpful and friendly. They have an interesting dinner with Burmese music.Cuca: "Exceptional!"
"This was easily ranked one of, if not, the best meals we've had in Bali. The property sits on a beautiful idyllic garden surrounded by coconut trees. It has an open concept kitchen and I diners sat by the kitchen counter. Service was excellent, in fact, more than excellent. So much attention to details without being intrusive. Food was an explosion of Flavours. I'm not going to list what we ate but everything we had was amazing. It's the first time I went to a restaurant and not take pics of the food as pics will not justify the experience. Like it says in the menu, come with an open mind and an empty stomach! Totally worth it!"Cuca: "Great, creative dinner"
We came here for some cocktails outside and then dinner at the chef's table. The drinks were very good and very creative! The food was delicious and I also think creative and well thought out. The service could not be better either! We enjoyed the chefs table. The restaurant outside and table seating looked very nice, but it was different sitting at the chefs table and they briefly explain the dish and answer any questions when they bring it to you. Additionally, our servers also seemed very knowledgeable on the dishes being served. Pricing was good. You will always pay a bit more for nice cocktails, but they were worth it and I don't think overpriced compared to other places. The food is very reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend stopping in Cuca whether for a full meal or cocktails and snacks as it's all tapas style!
