Tugu Lombok: "Hotel o museo ????"

"6 notti al Tugu.....all'arrivo un problema sulla sistemazione camera......pronta a ripartire.....ma la gentilezza di Hanny manager della struttura , mi ha dissuaso....quando s'incontrano persone come lei , si viene disarmati...il suo sorriso , le sue capacità , il suo occhio vigile sono determinanti. Dopo 3 gg infatti mi ha cambiato camera con una super suite ! Il resort è veramente un museo , con una incredibile raccolta di oggetti antichi , ogni particolare merita di soffermarsi a guardare. La struttura è in una posizione incantevole , una spiaggia ben attrezzata , acqua stupenda , molte attività...io ho preso la loro barca , bellissima per fare un giro alle Gili...merita ! Ristorante con un ottimo servizio e vari menu. Brava , bravissima Hanny , Elly e tutto il personale ! Grazie"

Muang La Resort: "Hidden gem"

By the moment we checked in, we felt at home. Great rooms on stlits, nice decoration and superb bahroom. Great riverview watching local life (bathing, laundrying, fishing) and buffaloes. Superb attentive service,such as hot herbal and ginger tea in the tub, local espresso coffeemachine on the terrace below the rooms. Friendly staff with a special mention to Rodolphe, the French Manager, who makes your stay being so special. Excellent creative meals and picknicks, enjoyable excursions. A great guide showed us the secrets of the Laos forests (edible herbs, medicinal plants), a true authentic experience. and last but not least, the MASSAGE....unique and perfect.

The Village House: "Touch of Paradise"

What a wonderful place to stay - highly recommend it. Staff are wonderful and rooms clean and comfortable. Great food and pool/bar area. Lots to see and do in the area and transport to Kuching easily achieved . Looking forward to coming back in the very near future .

Locavore: "Taste Bud Experience"

We did the 7 course lunch with drink pairing. It was a great experience and we highly recommend it. Every course was sensational. It was a 2.5 hour food session that we will remember for a long time! Only suggestion would be explanation cards on each dish and drinks written in English as the normal language barrier plus background noises made it very hard to take in everything our waitress was explaining. Thank you Lavacore and see you again next time we visit.

Locavore: "Gastronomic aerobatics and spot international level"

We saw that the schedule of booking tables in Manhattan traditions is full for a couple of weeks ahead. So we tried with a pounce, straight from a tropical rainfall to get to lunch. Day to day it did not work, but we found out about their sister cafe around the corner in the next street and signed up for tomorrow. For lunch too ceremoniously and formally (dishes, not the atmosphere - that's quite a casual one, we met Americans, saddened by Trump at a nearby table), but for a memorable evening, that's it. It offers two sets - large and small. For 5 and 7 meals. And there are options for veggie. The surprise was that to five dishes there are five apetizers and about the same number of digestives. Extremely authored and fantasy, small and incredibly tasty. Yes, another point is that it is necessary to arrive at the appointed time, as all tables are served by simultaneous courses. And the whole ceremony thus stretches for 2-2.5 hours) At this time, you seem to disappear from the noisy colorful streets of Ubud in the mirror world of real flowers and shades of pistachio. Smiles and conditioner. Wow

Rachamankha: "Best stay in Chiang Mai"

"This was one of the most peaceful hotels that I have ever stayed in, it feels like a retreat where the soul is nourished away from the everyday hustle and bustle. The architecture, gardens and decor are amazing. In the morning someone comes to cut the grass with a pair of garden scissors instead of a lawnmower so the peace is just never disturbed. We had lovely meals in the restaurant and enjoyed every send of our visit and we will visit Thailand again for the third time just to stay in this hotel again."

Muang La Lodge: "Une réussite"

Certainly a must in Laos. Ten bungalows, almost all along the river, rooms more than spacious, with perfect comfort. The outdoor spas offer the charm of "onsen" Japanese, and the pool has a beautiful location on an island near the hotel, which is accessed by a wooden walkway. The restaurant is classy, ​​with a Franco Laotian mix that would fade over a restaurateur. The success of this place is certainly Raphael his manager and his assistant, Matilda, that the needs, as well as absolutely efficient and cohesive team. Take the detour, the welcome is charming and intelligent, it tells you the places, activities, and then you will feel right at home. One regret: the brevity of my stay!

Tugu Bali: "Hotel Tugu- gem"

The Hotel Tugu was the best surprise of our two week trip to Bali. From the second we walked into the lobby we were greeted by the most friendly, helpful and beautiful staff. We had just left the Ritz Carlton and already this place was running circles around the staff from the Ritz. It was one beautiful surprise after another. From the room, to the services to the good, proximity to the beach to the furnishings. Hotel Tugu is a gem and not to be missed. The hotel manager is lovely, helpful and has the staff well trained and lovely. Don't miss the Japanese restaurant with a view of the ocean. Cheers to hotel Tugu for making our trip. If you have an appreciation. For aesthetically pleasing things you cannot miss my this. The owner has the biggest collection of Balinese art and artefacts throughout Indonesia.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Outstanding"

We stayed here for the first 3 nights of our holiday and was perfect after a long flight. The hotel,is surrounded by wall to wall rice fields and is so tranquil that you cannot fail to feel at peace with yourself and the world! Our room was beautiful and we would fall asleep each night to the sound of frogs and crickets. Whilst there we did a trek to a local village and stopped off for a swim at some waterfalls. Our guide Arca was superb, very knowledgeable and you could tell that he actually enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the local area. There is a small pool are which is lovely for relaxing bybwhilst taking in the beauty of the surroundings. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and go out of their way to help. Whilst we were there my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Our travel agents unbeknown to us had informed the hotel of this fact and after dinner that evening we were presented with a cake to celebrate our anniversary. This Inthought was a really nice touch and totally unexpected. If you want to stay somewhere and be totally unhurried with lovely people with stunning panoramic views then this is the place for you.

The Cabochon Hotel: "Excellent + cozy"

Well-appointed, comfortable and quiet. Probably the best hotel we stayed in during our month in Asia. A wonderful little hideaway amidst the madness of Bangkok's 10 million noise-makers. Don't sleep on the restaurant, either. It's quiet but truly exceptional.
