Sandat Glamping Tents: "Fantastisches Hotel, tolles Design, super Service"

"Wir verbrachten auf unserer Reise in Indonesien vier Nächte im wunderbaren Sandat Glamping Tents. Der Aufenthalt war von vorne bis hinten hervorragend. Wir sind relativ spät (ca. 23 Uhr) am Hotel angekommen. Nach der ca. 1,5 stündigen Fahrt vom Flughafen und den letzten Meter auf etwas holprigen Straßen wurden wir vom Team sehr herzlich begrüßt (Tipp: Shuttle vom Hotel buchen! Wir haben das offizielle Taxi vom Flughafen genommen - am Schalter, der einem empfohlen wird - und mehr bezahlt als wir beim Hotel-Shuttle hätten. Die Preise auf der Flughafenhomepage sind nicht aktuell). Nach einer kurzen Führung durch das Hotel und unser Lumbung Legong konnte der Urlaub entspannt beginnen. Zimmer: Wir wohnten in einem Lumbung (einer traditionellen Reishütte) mit einem offenen Wohnzimmer und offenen Bad im EG und dem klimatisierten Schlafzimmer im OG. Alles ist sehr stylisch eingerichtet und sauber. Das Zimmer hat keinen Fernseher (wir haben ihn auch nicht vermisst). Insgesamt gibt es 8 Unterkünfte (5 Zelte mit eigenem Pool, 3 Lumbungs mit Gemeinschaftspool). Die fünf Zelte sind etwas versteckter. Unser Lumbung war auch etwas versteckter, die beiden weiteren liegen am Gemeinschaftspool. Am Pool gibt es (bei zweier Belegung der Lumbungs) immer genug Liegen - insgesamt 6 Stück. Lage und Anlage: Die Anlage liegt inmitten von Reisfeldern, was einen besonderen Charme hat. Man entkommt dem doch eher trubeligen Ubud und findet sich in einer tollen Umgebung wieder. In der Umgebung arbeiten die Reisbauern auf den Feldern. Morgens kann man an manchen Tagen die Gesänge (zum Gebet?) der Einheimischen hören, was wir im Positiven besonders fanden, da es beruhigend war. Das Hotel bietet einen regelmäßigen Shuttle nach Ubud mit sehr netten Fahrern an. Die Fahrt dauert ca. 10 Minuten. In der direkten Umgebung gibt es im Grunde nichts. Ein paar ganz kleine Läden von Einheimischen, die nur das Wesentlichste (kleine Snacks, Getränke) anbieten und das auch nicht mit Garantie Service: Alle Mitarbeiter sind super nett und versuchen alles möglich zu machen. Uns wurde immer weiter geholfen. Unsere Dusche leckte bei Anreise etwas. Nachdem wir Bescheid gaben, war das Problem nach 30 Minuten behoben. Toll! Gastronomie: Das Frühstück ist super. Es gibt leckeres Brot, Joghurt, tollen Kaffee, Süßgebäck (immer unterschiedlich), Ei in jeglichen Varianten und vieles mehr. Wir haben es sehr genossen im tollen Restaurant beim gemütlichen Frühstücken zu sitzen, welches es sogar bis 11:30 Uhr geht. Wir haben zudem zwei Mal abends im Restaurant gegessen. Alles von sehr guter Qualität, aber hochpreisig. An den restlichen Tagen haben die leckeren Warungs in Ubud besucht. Design: Das Sandat Glamping Tents verdient einen eigenen Punkt zum Design. Angefangen von der Architektur und den Materialien der Gebäude bis zu den Details auf den Zimmern ist alles sehr stylisch eingerichtet bzw. designt ohne unpraktisch zu sein. Das Highlight ist das Restaurant, welches eine sehr hohe, nahezu aus rein natürlichen Materialien errichtete offene Konstruktion ist. Auch das Innere hat absoluten Stil. Wir waren neben dem Gebäude selbst, sehr von dem 6-8 Meter langen Massivholztisch begeistert. Fazit: Sehr stylisches Hotel, welches ab der ersten Minute den Wohlfühlfaktor hat, welcher durch die tollen Mitarbeiter abgerundet wird. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert."

Samanea Beach Resort: "“Stunning location – pontoon into the sea a great plus”"

"We were only there for one night, but it's a spectacular location - 12 nicely designed bungalows in a green park where you can't see or hear your neighbors. There were two Khmer families shooting their wedding albums - which gives you some idea of how nice it was - and with a 25 mètre pool you don't need to do into the sea - but there is a 59 mètre or so pier which takes you over the initial mud and far enough out that the sea is easy to swim in Food was excellent - although slightly bizarrely they had no fish or crabs. Extremely Eco friendly, and very nice staff Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Highly recommend"

Our family of 4 stayed here for 5 nights in total, 2 and 3 nights on either side of a tour. We loved this hotel. Mr Hann was exceedingly helpful and all the staff were really friendly. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel during our tour. We had very efficient airport transfers. We felt like we were staying in our own private house, it was very peaceful. The pool is a great size. We liked the location on the other side of the river. The little boat is always at the ready to transfer across, which adds to the charm of the hotel. Our room was a great size, with a large balcony overlooking the river. It has all amenities including bath robes and mosquito repellant. The breakfast was freshly cooked to order. We used the hotel bikes a couple of times which was a great way to see the town. I got up early to see the monks seeking alms and was the only tourist watching (from a respectful distance!) as they passed by the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel as a great place to stay.

Mathis Retreat: "Everything An Ubud Hotel Is In Your Dreams"

"This is the hotel you imagine when you think of staying in Ubud. The view across working rice paddies is amazing as our the rooms, quiet amazing. The infinity pool across the rice paddies, the bean bags by the rice paddies and the general setting are all amazing. Staff are friendly and efficient. The hotel is too far out of town to walk (unless you want a long walk) but a van is run by the hotel every hour and they even made a special journey just for us. The breakfast is amazing, as little or as much as you want from the breakfast selection menu and whatever you have is great. Stay here, you wont regret it."

Tugu Malang: "A most wonderful hotel"

I can really recommend this hotel. Although only 25 years old it is built in the dutch colonial style. The staff are very attentive and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food in the restaurant is excellent and cheap by english standards. The rooms are comfortable and perfectly adequate. Part of the hotel is a museum and the staff give an escorted tour. The is even the possibility of a cycle tour in the morning avoiding the traffic, This is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at and I doubt if there is a better one in Malang. An extensive tea with indonesian delicacies is available free to all the guests.

Satri House: "Unique hotel with lovely staff"

The Satri House is an unusual French colonial style property with lots of beautiful art pieces. The one downside is no TV if you require it. However there is a lovely sitting room with books. The breakfasts are beautifully made to order with homemade jams. The staff couldn't be more helpful. There are 2 pools and lovely beautifully tended grounds.

Tugu Bali: "Funky and Gorgeous and Romantic"

"This is a very colorful, unique hotel with a very funky Japanese restaurant that feels like a Shanghai opium den. The rooms are beautiful and romantic. Lots of antiques everywhere, great photography and generally all around wonderful service. Right across the street from a great, bright and spacious restaurant called Old Man to have lunch at with a young and gorgeous surfer crowd. The lobby is huge and dramatic, they have dance performances on certain nights that are beautiful and entirely non- cheesy. Can't recommend enough. You feel like you are in a movie. Jenny, the manager, is a delight and super helpful. We had friends come and visit from an hour away and they said it was worth the trip just to see the hotel. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Amazig"

Absolute heaven on earth. Beautiful location and the staff are all wonderful. You completely relax here. It is definitely one of the most unique places I have ever stayed. The tents are really comfortable with everything you could want. The trip to the Tatai Waterfall was a particular highlight. We also did the 7.00 am trek - although we didn't see any wildlife, it was still very enjoyable and the boat ride back to the Lodge was really beautiful.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Absolutely Lovely!"

We treated ourselves to a night at Tiger Mountain after a trek in the Annapurna region. The combination of a stunning location, gorgeous stone cottage accommodation and an excellent level of service sets Tiger Mountain apart from other places in Nepal. We were very impressed with the knowledge and service level of the staff, the comfort of the rooms and the excellent food provided. Two of us decided to do the morning guided bird watching tour, which was excellent. We saw an amazing assortment of birds on a short walk around the property, including a very pretty scarlet minivet. The views from the property are superb!
