Tugu Lombok: "a memorable stay"

Review by: Lingxiao G | Source: Trip Advisor
"+ luxurious but not pretentious hotel, reasonably priced for such a wonderful establishment and good service + very helpful staff ready to go the extra mile for clients. we enjoyed every little attentions they gave us + 2 giant pools facing the sea and private white sand beach, plus free entertainment facilities make day time really enjoyable and peaceful + breakfast card is delicious and plus point is at any time of the day + we dined by the sea one night and the setting was very romantic. food is a bit pricier than outside but very reasonable given it s a 5 star establishment + easy access to the gili islands by boat + the tranquility of the place makes a perfect paradise for honeymooners and families or group of friends - remote from main touristic zone making the access a bit more complicated, but taxis are readily available and cheap. hotel car was about 3 times local taxi costs but offers more comfort - night time can get quite dark and a bit scary for fainted hearts - rain shower in the bathroom was a bit messy and water evacuation slow - ants. a lot of them in the bathroom. given it s an outdoor space, it can only be normal"

"Struttura meravigliosa , immerso all'interno delle risaie . Entrando nel sandat sembra di entrare in un mondo zen , tranquillità , pace e meraviglia !

Consiglio di visitare la città con un autista della struttura praticamente un escursione privata ( ovviamente dovete sapere l' inglese) . Stupendo Stayed September 2016, traveled as a couple"

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Perfect place to rest"

Review by: josesb818 | Source: Trip Advisor
Incredible hotel. Very calm and relaxing. The staff is very very friendly. A shuttle service is provided which a great help to visit ubud, since the road for the hotel is a little bit damaged. I only think that the breakfast could be a little bit better.

Heritage Suites Hotel: "Excellent hotel!"

Review by: xvmc | Source: Trip Advisor
We were at this hotel as part of our honeymoon trip. Very well located, near the airport, and near the center of Siem Reap, our stay was very pleasant. The rooms are really nice and comfortable, and the staff people are very friendly, like all the people you know in Cambodia. Highly recommended to travel as a couple and to enjoy this wonderful site of the world.

Rachamankha: "Don’t miss it if you are in Chang Mai (and if you can afford the sublime sirloin with foie gras)"

Staff, design, meal's quality, all perfect. Not the cheapest one , but you will get value for money. A peaceful frame . You feel like a valuable customer. We went there by chance just for dinner and we were positively impressed.

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Great location, friendly, helpful staff and great breakfast"

Review by: Andrew S | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed at the Apsara for 5 nights - room on second floor with a view over the Nam Khan river. Accommodation comfortable and the breakfast served in the other, main hotel building - usually by the manager Mr Lum - was a great start to each day. The second floor rooms in the separate building share a balcony which has seats that allow you to watch the world go by. The hotel is located very close to the main road of the old town - a quick walk up interesting lane ways but far enough away to not be bothered by the crowds who go to the alms giving each morning. The Apsara is located very close to several very good/authentic restaurants and has its own restaurant. The only negative issue worth noting was the floor boards creak very loudly and we couldn't find a route to avoid the creaking ones....our neighbours would have heard us moving around as we heard them, but it was a small issue. Overall we were very happy with our choice of accommodation in Luang Prabang - close enough to all the action without being in the middle of it."

Villa Song Saigon: "So friendly it feels like home"

Review by: maria_fridlund | Source: Trip Advisor
"HCMC is chaotic and after a day in the city it is so nice to come ""home"" to this wonderful place. The shuttleboat is great and so is the food and the poolarea. Perfect for families as well as for couples. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

MesaStila: "Wondereful and Relaxing"

Review by: jdv968 | Source: Trip Advisor
Can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay at the charming Mesa Stila Resort. Our villa was a wonderful suprise, full of personal touches, and indulgent at the same time. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and we just sunk into the relaxed pace. There are not enough superlatives for the view - it is breathtaking. Staying here is a privilege and we are grateful for the experience. Although not a typical "child-friendly" resort, our 7 year old daughter was made to feel extremely welcome - she enjoyed the horse-riding and participating in the batik demonstration. Be sure to do the coffee plantation tour - it was so interesting. This place is just beautiful...

THE SAMAR: "Back Home"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Always a great feeling to go back to a place I like. The staff make me feel ""home"" as this is the 3rd time I stay here. Little attentions, smiles.. and this familiar atmosphere, the beautiful dark swimming pool. I travel quite a lot for both work and pleasure, and it is great to have ""harbors"" around, to rest, feel comfortable, recharge... The Samar is one of my harbors. Thanks to all of you!"

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "A Wonderful Wildlife Safari ro remember forever"

Review by: JandJMelbourne | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were a big family comprising 3 generations, mostly inexperienced campers plus one passionate elephant keeper/ animal conservationist,,and we arrived to a warm welcome which included delicious cold drinks and towels. Very welcome after a long drive from Ella .Right from the start of my research into a safari into Yala NP over a year ago, I had a special feeling that this safari was going to be a huge highlight of our big family trip to Sri Lanka. Wonderful pre trip communication with Sophie and Noel, and then we met Sajit, Praneeth , Damien and the rest of the wonderful team. Our great, comfortable tents ( I could even use the outdoor shower at first go ), delicious, varied food. We had 3 picky children, a 15 yr old vegan and all the rest, and we loved ALL the food. Great get togethers in the communal areas, with those G&Ts and Tiger beer. What can I say about the fantastic expertise of Sajit and his team. We learnt about animal alarm calls, Sajit provided us with a priceless example of using them to spot a glorious leopard in the fading dusk light. Of course when you go on safari you hope to see the prized animals, and we sure did, but we also learnt about the expertise and experience required to locate these majestic creatures. We also loved the colourful birds, mongoose, jackals , peacocks and the stunning varied landscapes. 2 dawn safaris, 2 dusk safaris, a bear, elephants, numerous deer, families of monkeys, and miraculously a few sightings of leopards. An experience of a lifetime, We Thank you All from the bottom of our hearts, A true highlight of our trip, and we hope to return and have recommended you to family and friends. Kind Regards from Jennifer, Juris and family. Room Tip: The best safari tents, great beds and very adequate amenities."
