Misool Eco Resort: "🌴☀️🐟 Рай на земле 🌴☀️🐟"

"Это действительно райское место, земной рай именно там! Отдыхали здесь с мужем и друзьями, первый раз мне не хотелось уезжать домой Отель великолепный, номера - это бунгало на воде, под тобой снуют маленькие акулки и множество прекрасных рыбок. В номере есть все необходимое, холодильник, сейф, кондиционер. Убираются несколько раз в день. Кухня заслуживает особого внимания, завтрак обед и ужин включены в программу. Есть еще второй завтрак и перекус в 5 часов, повар виртуоз, меню за 7 дней нашего пребывания ни разу не повторилось, все очень вкусно и красиво. Блюда приготовлены и оформлены как в хороших ресторанах. Всегда большое количество овощей, для вегетарианцев тоже раздолье. Всегда есть фреши и фрукты в вазе, можно перекусить по дороге на дайвинг:) Между дайвами можно сходить на традиционный массаж, 90 минут релакса и кайфа, мы оттуда выползали совершенно счастливыми:) Подводный мир, наверное, самый красивый в мире. Манты, черепахи, акулы, наполеоны, огромное разнообразие кораллов и губок, величайшее разнообразие мелких и крупных рыбешек, ну очень красиво. Отдых был великолепен, недели оказалось маловато:( Но мы обязательно повторим эту поездку. Огромное спасибо всему персоналу, каждый старался сделать наш отдых прекрасным и незабываемым. Мы вернемся!!! Stayed January 2017, traveled with friends"

tugu malang: "We loved this gem of a hotel"

"The hotel is stunning in its beauty. Really one of the most attractive- on- the- inside hotels I have ever been in, with light, rock, water, plantings and museum- quality antiques and artistic pieces which bring the history and culture of Java to life. There are non- Java items too, among them a 3,200 year- old Shang Dynasty sculpture. After a very friendly check- in (there is nothing like an Indonesian smile), we were shown to room 222, a large room with a four- post bed adorned with beautiful wood carvings. There was an in- room safe, mini- fridge with Bintang beers and a large work desk with convenient desk- height power outlets. The room was rich with teak wood and the wood floors were nice underfoot. If you don’t like going barefoot they provide nice batik slippers. Plenty of closet / hanger space and room for luggage too, much appreciated. The room was very quiet, except when the day- long procession of banner- waving motor scooters celebrating the local Arema football heroes went constantly past the hotel! It was great fun watching the procession from the coffee house and sipping on Bintangs. The toilet was in a separate room from the shower room. The toilet had a built- in bidet feature, not exactly like the Toto Washlet you might be familiar with-- this was rather a simple affair with a curved water tube and a manual faucet handle on the side. It worked just fine. There is also a small hands- washing sink there. The shower / tub was huge, round, and of hammered metal. You could fit more than two adults in the tub (if you wished.) The sink was also hammered metal and had a ringing sound as the water dribbled in, very nice. The bedding was very comfortable and we slept soundly. The breakfast menu featured American, Indonesian, Chinese, Malang Street Food, Healthy and “Romantic” options. I enjoyed the fried egg covered with melted cheese on top of ham / croissant. The oatmeal included fresh fruit and crispy coconut on top, delicious. The coffee comes from their own Java coffee plantation. Service was great. The restaurant was excellent. It was beautiful, with indoor / outdoor seating and separated from the pool by plants. The menu was extensive: 170 regular food items – not counting drinks - plus a special menu with another 12 or so items. Indonesian, Dutch, Italian, Malang Street Food, Chinese, sandwiches, salads, Aussie and local steaks, from Wagyu to basic. Our food was excellent. The restaurant is open 24 hours, so when we needed to have breakfast at 05:30 on our departure day, there was no issue at all. All the early Mt. Bromo hikers can fill up before the climb. The location is very good, a short 450m from the train station (you can take the Malioboro Express from Jogja in comfort), 320m from the Bird Market / Flower Market and 1.4km from the very impressive and beautiful boulevard of Dutch Colonial houses (and many nice ones leading up to it. Malang is at 450m altitude and situated between mountains gets nice breezes channeled through which are cooler and less humid than central Java. We took a hotel- sponsored bike tour. It was on a Sunday, and they close many of the most attractive boulevards to auto traffic, so we had a very pleasant ride through parts of Malang we would never have made it to on our own. The beautiful Dutch Colonial homes were something to see, nestled amongst palm trees and lush plantings. Our tour guide, Sigit, made sure that we were safe at all times (no small thing in Indo city traffic!) and knew the area very well. The bikes were in good condition and they had loaner helmets. The hotel has my highest recommendation."

Tugu Lombok: "Best ever"

My wife and I stayed in July 2015 and we were so impressed by the hotel, its design, The location and best of the best : the team there, you feel like a VIP, a family member and they are smiling and more then helpful. For us it s the best place we have ever been so far. In our memory for ever

Inle Princess Resort: "A “must” stay here"

Superb Hotel with a unique approach by boat with the very unique rowing style to get you there! Simply beautiful location and fab rooms. We stayed in a lake house which I really can't fault. It has a rustic charm but with all the extras that you expect in a 5 star hotel. The outside shower is a nice touch and really good! the whole resort is beautifully maintained and we would have like to have stayed a while longer. There is only one restaurant but it does have an extensive menu and the food is good. if there is any criticism, the dining room lacks a little atmosphere but really not a significant point and would not deter me from returning. Also fab spa! We didn't use the pool but that too looked wonderful. maybe next time!

Flower Island: "Gorgeous, stylish resort with a strong personal touch"

"Stayed three nights here last week, and had an unforgettable time. I think what sets this apart from some of the top end resorts is the personal touch and the tasteful, considered aesthetic. The cottages and restaurant are set back behind the palm trees so as not to create an imposing man made frontage. The use of natural objects like sea shells, bamboo and palms feels, along with the 'ethnic' decor somehow feels more inspired than the cliched attempts you usually see in these sorts of places. (....)the island does genuinely create a special sort of intimacy and calm. I really can not speak highly enough of this place."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful mansion with excellent staff"

"This place is really worth staying if you are in Penang and love a place with old charm and character. Breakfast was lovely and staff very friendly and attentive. Once you cross the threshold you will feel transported back in time. Considering that it's an old structure , they have done their best in restoring it back to its glory days. Stayed December 2016, traveled with friends"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Pretty as the pictures"

We stayed here two nights rather than the three scheduled because of a change in itinerary. Room was gorgeous, pool and gardens the same. Probably the best breakfast we had throughout our stay in Malaysia (mostly in Borneo). Front desk staff helpful in answering our questions, set up a day long tour with local guide, to visit the specific sights we wanted to see. All around excellent. We just wish we could have stayed the extra night.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Perfect oasis in Bangkok"

"I had a wonderful time staying at Chakrabongse Villas. I had hoped for a leafy enclave to get away from the bustle and pollution of Bangkok whilst still being well located to explore the city. It was that and much more. The private complex has an interesting history, and the setting gives views of the Grand Palace right across from its own section of the river bank. There is a traditional longboat and speedboat available for guests' use, whilst the Garden suite is well equipped with a very comfortable bed, and incense burning outside! The staff, however, made the trip for me. They were charming and friendly and made me feel completely looked after. I very much hope to return - thank you again to the team at Chakrabongse Villas."

Tugu Bali: "One-of-a-kind experience"

"We spent two wonderful nights at Tugu and can't fault anything about our experience. Highlights included a cooking class with the wonderful Sri and her assistant Gusti, the full and new moon massage, and enjoying cocktails and nibbles at Ji. Also, the breakfasts which we could have served wherever we liked were amazing - highly recommend the traditional Indonesian set menu for breakfast. With so many new hotels popping up in Seminyak and now Canggu, Tugu offers something they can't - tradition, a story, and a sense of feeling calm in the middle of a bit of a storm of new development. Would definitely return for longer next time. Great location too, right beside Old Man's and with so many amazing places to eat and shop just up the road. Room Tip: Hard to choose between the sea view upper suites and the ground floor pool suites!"
