The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Truly Lovely"
Like something a little bit more genuine and truly beautiful? Cabochon is the place for you! So much nicer than the big 5 star monoliths. Cool, Friendly, H helpful and ohh so stylish. Gorgeous rooms. If you like interior design you will love staying here. Really well located but hard to get a cab from here, leave plenty of time when you need oneMesaStila: "Absolutely wonderful"
This was one of the highlights of our Indonesia trip. Very romantic, very naturistic setting. Very interesting plantation tour. Absolutely great spa treatments. Food also very good, and don't miss the jamu herbal drinks. Overall highly recommended especially for nature lovers.Tugu Lombok: "Great service & amazing beauty"
A truly wonderful resort with a fabulous sense of style and beach sophistication. A great launching point to climb Rinjani or simply relax on the quite side of Lombok. We didn't get to try the tapas restaurant as it is only open a few nights a week. This was our only disappointment.Villa Song: "Great service"
the hotel looks absolutely gorgeous. The original room they gave us smelt like damp but they quickly changed our rooms as soon as we raised the issue. The service was great and they will cater to your every needs, we had an early morning flight (7am) meaning we had to leave at 5am and the chef made us take away sandwiches. It’s the little details that count!Villa Mathis: "Absolument sublime"
7eme années que nous venons à la Villa Mathis, toujours aussi belle et agréable pour passer un petit séjour en famille ou en couple!! Cet hôtel est constitué d'un ensemble de villas. Nous avons eu l'occasion de tester chaque villa. Elles sont toutes différentes, très bien décorées et très agréables. Personnellement, nous avons un petit faible pour la Villa des rizières ! Vous pouvez privatiser une villa. Dans ce cas, personne ne viendra vous déranger. Chaque Villa a sa propre piscine. Le restaurant propose des bonnes choses et c'est toujours bien servi. A la carte, cuisine française et indonésienne. Le personnel est toujours charmant et à votre service. 7EME FOIS QUE NOTRE PETIT SÉJOUR A LA VILLA MATHIS NOUS A ENCHANTÉ ( C'est un hôtel absolument sublime)Inle Princess Resort: "Perfekt"
"Ich kann nur sagen: perfekt! Ich wüsste nicht, was ich an diesem Hotel bemängeln sollte. Schon die Anreise im kleinen Boot inkl. Einbein-Ruderer ist ein Erlebnis. Die Lage des Hotels am Ufer des Sees ist ein Traum und der Anblick vom See aus gibt einen Vorgeschmack auf das, was einen erwartet. Nette, freundliche Begrüßung in der offenen Lobby. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen, sehr großen Bungalow, der mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet war. Die üppige Terrasse mit Liegestühlen am Teich mit Lotusblumen lädt zum Entspannen ein. Ich kann jedem nur empfehlen, hier nicht nur eine Nacht im Rahmen einer Rundreise zu verbringen sondern mindestens 3 Tage zu bleiben, um diesen wunderschönen Platz auch genießen zu können. Tipp: Zum Hotel gehört noch ein sehr gutes Restaurant mit Ausbildungseinrichtung mitten im Inle See. Leider nur mit dem Boot erreichbar."Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise on earth"
"Me and my partner booked GBBR initially for only four days as we hadn't been to the island before but we got a recommendation from a local yoga teacher so we decided to give it a go. After we took a long boat from Kuraburi, we arrived to a pristine little bay welcomed by Golden Buddha team who immediately made us feel at home and showed us around the absolutely stunning resort. It's paradise! We've never seen a beach so long, clean and empty and sea so beautiful! The sand may not be white but this definitely is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. The resort is also absolutely stunning, with a beautiful restaurant and gorgeous breakfast every morning, drinking fresh coconut juice while overlooking the sea :) Saturday nights are magical, the resort organised a bonfire on the beach with cocktails and then the most delicious seafood BBQ. The accommodation consists of different styled wooden houses, each of them with a unique design and hidden around so you always feel like you're alone in nature. What makes the whole experience even more special is the whole team at the resort, and especially Massi and Teresa , who manage the resort and took care of absolutely every single request we had and always made us feel like special guests. So the initial 4 days ended up being three weeks and we didn't want to leave even then."Mie Cafe: "Good food and service"
We had a nice dinner, fhere is a good variety of interesting dishes on the menue. The frozen cheesecake was very nice.Reverie Siam Pai: "Beautiful hotel with real character"
This is the best hotel in Pai. It's a little way out of the centre but they do have a cute little shuttle which is more like a glorified golf buggy. The whole place is designed beautifully with a theme of 1920's jazz era, and this is executed really well. It's got real soul. It's a lovely place to hang out, rooms are large, bathrooms are huge, pool is great and the views are divine.SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "I would give even more stars if possible!!!"
"******************************** My whole experience there was AMAZING!!! I went there for lunch and found out on the spot that they had a special business menu, changing every day according to the chef's inspiration (and very reasonably priced). The menu is 2 or 3 courses, with a couple of options for starters and mains. The fine dinning starts with amuse-bouche and I also got some ""miniardiases"" to conclude on a lovely sweet note! The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely thanks to Lucia's care and sense of harmony. Felix, the Michelin's star chef who is running the kitchen, was not there the day I visited but he has trained his chefs very well as all the dishes were perfectly executed. The produces are fresh, locally and organically grown when possible. The staff is very attentive. More than a delicious restaurant, it is a social enterprise with the couple incorporating local skills and goods, not only the content of the plates but also in all the elements of the decor. The result is a beautiful blend which deserve many stars! I cannot express the enjoyment I had, it has to be experienced... so your turn is up, it worth the trip!!! *********************************"
