Tugu Bali: "Paradise in Bali"

Review by: Shadwell2013 | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent the last night here after a three week holiday travelling around Bali. This was a birthday treat and the icing on my cake! It is a very stylish and unqiue hotel full of the most beautiful pieces of Balinese artworks. Our room was on the second floor overlooking koi ponds with the sea in the background. It was a stunning room with a gorgeous sunken bath and a huge fabulously comfortable bed. The staff and service were amazing as was the food. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will certainly come back.

Tugu Lombok: "Unique, thoughtful service in a stunning location"

Review by: JohnCole99 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 3 nights in Tugu and were firstly impressed by the size and beauty of the property. The long stretch of private beach and two pools offer a lot of space and comfy sun loungers. The surrounding area and restaurant/ lobby is beautiful - very authentic and often pays tribute to the Hindu religion and times gone by, but is very charming. The service is excellent - they offer a very personal service and give great advice about hotel activities and the surrounding areas. Elly and Henry in reception are brilliant. The menu is extensive and the food was good. Smoothies and cocktails are excellent. We also enjoyed a private yoga class and massage - both were great and reasonably priced. If you are looking for sun, sea, sand, good food, service, activities - then this is the place! "

Cabochon: "Quite an experience – highly reccomendable"

Review by: sonydk | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We found this unique hotel to be in a good part of Bangkok. Close to the Skytrain that connects you to most of the city and to/from the Airport. Very helpfull staff and overall great service level. As this is a boutique hotel with very few rooms, you really feel you get special attention. Nice rooms, with beautiful decor and a nice bathroom. Our room also featured a pleasant balcony (free minibar and fresh fruit daily by the way! Good breakfast as well) We especially liked the roof top terrasse with the large swimmingpool and stunning views of the city. A+ experience and highly reccomendable for those seeking a luxury feeling at very resonable rates."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Peaceful trip away from the city"

Review by: Meita A | Source: tripadvisor.com
"The resort arranged a car to pick us up at the airport, which took us on a long drive out of the city and into the woods. Afterwards, we still need to take another ride on a boat, that was waiting for us on the docks. Once we arrive at the resort and greeted with an extremely friendly service, we immediately felt charged up. We were told that there are a variety of activities that we could do, and the best thing is that there is no internet, cell phone reception and absolutely no wifi. It is the ultimate getaway tactic. They have a small reading room filled with books, dvds and board games that you can borrow though. Each tent has a tv and dvd player and strictly no AC. The food is fantastic, I typically like breakfast, where you can pick one of each selection on the menu (I did gain weight after this trip). Each and every one of the staff is amazing and helpful. We stayed there for a few days, so we are able to do plenty of activities. We went to a small fisherman village at Koh Srolao, saw Tatai waterfall and kayaking around the mangroves. Try kayaking near the resort, just on the back there is a hidden area that is so peaceful and quiet. Didn't go off the boat because a few staff warned us of leeches. Also tried fishing, but that didn't go so well, the current is too strong. It was a perfectly amazing trip. Away from emails, social medias, texts and other things that ""concerns"" us. Try staying a few days here, be in touch with nature and yourself, surrounded with nature, wonderful people and delicious food."

Maison Polanka: "Almost perfect."

Review by: Stephen G | Source: Trip Advisor
"The hotel has only a small number of rooms which are situated in superb tropical gardens. We had the first floor yellow room which was comfortable, spacious and with an excellent bathroom. The hotel was uncrowded and relaxing and with a superb swimming pool. Guests were a mix of French and British. The charming staff were very generous to us. There was cake or pancakes and Twinings tea in the afternoon. Breakfasts were a delight sitting outside. Brilliant gin and tonics in the evening. The only downsides were noise from building works at neighbouring properties but the workers looked industrious and pretty advanced so they may have finished by now. It was not a problem. We also had a disturbed night when the local market burnt down but that was hardly the fault of the hotel and very sad. We found the food, at times, disappointing. It could be excellent, but one evening my wife had a dish of fish and raw vegetables which was inedible and my accompanying beef stir fry was as tame as it was tough. Perhaps we were just unlucky. The hotel went out of their way to provide a picnic for us to take to Ankhor Wat and were very good at putting an ice box in my room to store stuff. Would recommend with little hesitation. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing food!"

Review by: ronsaw | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were staying at a nearby hotel and thought it would be a nice change to eat somewhere different considering we were quite secluded and this place did not disappoint! Amazing food, great service and quick. Even though they were almost fully booked, they managed to get the food out quick while keeping a high standard. It is a bit pricey but it is a resort but it's definitely worth it!"

Reverie Siam: "Wonderful hotel"

Review by: Hilary S | Source: Trip Advisor
"I'm still dreaming of going back here. We had an absolutely fabulous time; the space was beautiful, service impeccable and couldn't have asked for anything more. We stayed in one of the separate houses and it was lovely; everything decorated nicely, well maintained and spacious. The breakfast was the best in Thailand. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. We ate several times in the restaurant and had great food every time. Honestly, this was the best hotel we stayed at during our trip and we would go back to Pai just to visit again."
