Sanak Retreat Bali: "Fantastisk sted, super service og dejlige villaer"
Vi har været rundt på hele Bali gennem 3 uger. Familie med voksne børn og svigerbørn. Vi blev anbefalet Sanak af bekendte, som fortalte at stedet var helt i top. Efter en lang køretør til Munduk, fik vi en flot modtragelse og en af de store familievillaer med den skønneste udsigt over bjerge og rismarker. Villaerne er lavet i højeste kvalitet og servicen er meget fin. Total ro og skønhed og max. 20 personer på hele resortet. Luksus og forkælelse er kodeordet. God mad og meget personlig betjening. Gode muligheder for udflugter fra stedet. Leder I efter fre, ro og idyl, vil jeg klart anbefale Sanak.Tugu Lombok: "Amazing holiday at Tugu!"
My boyfriend and I had an absolutely amazing time at the Tugu Hotel in Lombok, it is definitely the most relaxing, rejuvenating place either of us had ever been. The setting on the beach was beautiful both day and night, the accommodation was light, airy and beautifully clean and the service was fantastic. We found the staff always smiling, friendly and helpful and we even got a free upgrade while we were there simply because they had a better room available. The food was delicious, always fresh and a good mix of traditional and western food was available. We will absolutely be heading back to Tugu at some point (hopefully soon!), it really is an amazing place! Thank you to all the staff there who made our stay so wonderful.David’s Kitchen: "Birthday"
I went there yesterday solo and it was the best decision that I ever made . The staff was so friendly and very professional. Almost like an white glove dining but the price is so much friendly . The owner David is very kind, he came to my table personally to say hi and sing happy birthday song to me . The food was excellent . Best pumpkin soup and escargots!! Everything else was also very delicious. Best restaurant in Chiangmai and I can't wait to bring my family and friends there one day .Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Ideal place to rest"
"I have thought long and hard about this place and in truth would have given a 4.5 rating, it deserves more than a 4 but not quite a 5 for me. It has been mentioned e resort is remote, this is a bonus and a hinderance depending on the length of your stay. Here more than a week and you may feel a bit trapped, a few days and an idyllic escape. There is a restaurant near the main entrance, face 7/11, turn left and walk about 120m and it is next to a Korean restaurant. Never got there ourselves but a chef on holiday went and highly recommended it. We took a taxi into Chongmon for an evening away. It must be said the food, accommodation, service and staff are very good and worth staying to eat, but it is more expensive. Just outside the hotel are a couple of taxi/travel shops. We used one for taxiing to Fishermans Village one evening and a mornings trip round the Island and found them good value. Another hotel resident had issues with them on car hire, so go carefully. We had a sea view room with pool, well worth the extra for us when you want some privacy. You also have the hotel pool and beach nearby if you want to be sociable. Beach is OK and shared with the Outrigger Hotel next door. Some rocks to snorkel round and can be a bit rough, but that's nature and varies. On Sunday afternoons a live band, quiet good, and Wednesdays an evening where guests get a few nibbles and drinks. Pay the owner is often around and a pleasant host. Faith is resident hotel liaison and good for sorting anything you need from local tips, hotel issues or advice where to visit Not far from ferry to Ko Tao and Koh Penang and also close to airport but flights do not disturb hotel. Well worth a visit and hope to return. Room Tip: All with pool were good"Rachamankha: "Oasis of Tranquility"
We loved our stay at Rachamankha. In fact, it was our favorite hotel on our entire 4 week trip in Asia. Very quiet, great staff, and good location. The grounds and pool are absolutely gorgeous...if you stay be sure to save a day just to enjoy the hotel. The food at the restaurant was very good and reasonable price for a hotel restaurant. Also enjoyed massages which were reasonable. The room itself is not luxurious, but is very nice and cool Thai style. I don't know what they called it, but we got the room one level above the basic room and thought it was worth the money. Breakfast was also very good. Highly recommend this hotel.Rachamankha: "Incredible!"
This was our favorite boutique hotel in Chang Mai, Thailand. It was located down a side street, but was an incredible venue. The architecture and flow was impressive. The rooms were comfortable and beautiful. The grounds were laid out artfully and were gorgeously landscaped. Breakfast and meals there were wonderful. We stayed several days and were able to sample almost everything on their menu and were never disappointed. They also have a small museum on property that should not be missed. The hotel was a refuge of tranquility and beauty. Very close to major attractions all of which were a short drive away. Highly recommended for romance or architecture lovers!The Hue House: "Possibly best meal in Vietnam"
Came here on our last night in Vietnam. Hidden gem: the restaurant was a bit hard to find. Didn't quite realise it was a rooftop restaurant, the building it is in looks like an office building and there was no signage at the bottom of the building and cafes next door did not know the place either. Anyways, we found it and were incredibly impressed. All dishes were really good, had a mix of noodle and rice dishes and appetisers, lots of flavour, beautiful tastes. If I'd have to call out one dish: rice pancakes w shrimp were fantastic. Possibly the best meal we have had in our fortnight in Vietnam.Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Wonderful 3 days in Sea Dance Resort"
"After a disaster morning, having checked in in out from another hotel, we started to look for a hotel for our last three night in Thailand and in Koh Samui. After reading many different reviews of all the available hotel, we selected Sea Dance Resort! It is again a special hotel, in the nord of the island, comfortable bungalows in the nature, nice open on the side bathroom, great team from reception to the restaurant, all very kind and helpful! Great breakfast with different fresh juices, fruits, cheese, eggs, toast, some Thai specialities all you can dream in the morning. The restaurant is at a high level of quality that we can judge the best Thai food of our holiday. Of course the price is higher than the restaurants in the village. In the area they are also meny things to visit and with the ""rent a bike"" just outside the entrance you can organize your holiday in the best way. A special thank you to Lux at reception and the restaurant crew!"Sanak Retreat Bali: "Loved it!"
"We couldn't fault this place, the location, staff, food, rooms, pool, spa - all fantastic. If we could have extended our stay we would have. We had a 1 bedroom bungalow which overlooked the rice paddies. Doors opened on 3 sides to allow the breeze to flow through and the planting around the bungalow ensured privacy. We ate in their restaurant which overlooks the pools and rice paddies. The food was good, the beef tenderloin was very tender and my other half couldn't go past the chocolate mousse each night. We were highly impressed by the breakfast, the food just kept on coming and was served with espresso coffee if you so desired. My non-coffee drinking husband enjoying a pot of freshly brewed lemongrass tea each morning, which he hasn't been able to find anywhere else. The pool was beautiful, the tiling a work of art and the temperature perfect. Comfy sun beds and plenty of sun umbrellas. The location in the hills is very nice, cooler than in the coast and less crowded, with the smell of drying cloves permeating the air."Tugu Malang: "The most wonderful hotel in Indonesia"
We have stayed in Malang city for a week or two almost every year for 44 years & for the past 22 years we have stayed at Tugu Malang. Not only is Tugu Malang the best hotel in Malang but we maintain that it is the best hotel in Indonesia. The atmosphere, the design, the décor, Pak Anhar's wonderful collection of antiques and artifacts displayed about the hotel, the swimming pool, the bridge over the koi pond with the most beautiful koi fish I have ever seen - the experience never ends. The food at the popular & wonderful Melati Restaurant never fails to satisfy. Fabulous menu, always excellent food and the largest range of Nasi Gorengs in Indonesia. Never miss Nasi Goreng Tugu & Nasi Goreng Bang Samin - my mouth is watering at the memory. We always bring friends & guests to eat at the Melati Restaurant and it appears that many of the travellers who stay at other hotels in Malang also prefer to dine there. The best spa and massage facility is without a doubt at Tugu Malang. Most of all, the wonderful, friendly staff are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. We love being spoilt and pampered at Tugu Malang and would never consider staying anywhere else in Malang. See you again next year.
