Tugu Malang: "An absolutely marvellous hotel"

Review by: lizry | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed here 2 nights and wanted to move in! The hotel has a wonderful collection of artefacts and antiques. Could spend hours just looking at them. The staff were absolutely fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. The room was beautiful and spacious with a lovely bathroom. The pool area is exceptional surrounded by greenery. There is even a wonderful boutique with fantastic service. Food and presentation was wonderful. If I have to make any adverse comment (and it's very minor) is that I had a pot of tea first morning (very welcome as being British I drink a lot of tea) but only cups on second morning.

Tugu Lombok: "Amazing"

Review by: sara_shu | Source: Trip Advisor
Although some might feel the place is too dark and is haunted, my husband and I however loved the quaint interior at the Tugu Lombok. Every piece of furniture or wall carving has been carefully chosen to decorate this hotel. The service was beyond excellent and they had an array of bespoke activities to choose from. I cant wait to come back!

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "An excellent safari camp near to Sri Lanka’s finest wildlife park"

Review by: David L | Source: Trip Advisor
Outstanding Safari Camp - but please remember this is a CAMP, a safari experience, not a luxury hotel and as such tents in the bush are the order of the day. Nevertheless the camp is well done and maintained. The food was excellent and plentiful, mostly Sri Lankan cuisine. Noel and his partner Cecile are excellent hosts and his team of camp managers, cooks and guides are very professional and accommodating. The safari guides are extremely good, highly knowledgable and ethical in their wildlife policies. The safari vehicles are well appointed, up-to-date 4x4's - all important to me as a professional wildlife photographer. Yala National Park itself is just a short drive away from the camp, (at the time of my visit, camps and lodges are not permitted in the park itself) great wildlife encounters are frequent and the varied landscapes are stunning. Noel Rodrigo's is perhaps a little more expensive than the other camps, hotels and wildlife tours I saw out there, but for the personal attention, quality of the camp, vehicles, guides, food and service.... it is certainly worth it.

Chakrabongse Villas: "Secluded Paradise in a Bustling City"

Review by: AndraYo | Source: Trip Advisor
"Once you enter through the gates, a fairytale world emerges. Around every corner another surprise awaits, orchards by our front gate, or kittens sleeping under the bench, the beautiful sunroom. The commissioned pictures are very accurate. My daughter feel in love with mangosteen fruits, first time we tasted them! Ask Ms. Atom (excellent English) to open the book store for browsing. The cookbook from the Villas' restaurant is a MUST buy--not only for the royal family's cooking recipes but the stunning pictures, an absolutely wonderful souvenir!"

Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Light modern fusion"

Review by: Claude P | Source: Trip Advisor
We dined at Le Du in Feb 2017, a modern Thai gastro restaurant with a twist. We selected the four course menu with inventive, tasteful dishes where western textures are fusioned with Thai flavors. Examples are the river prawns with egg and chu-chee curry or the mango panna cotta with passion fruit and smoked coconut icecream. A decently prized wine list completes the gastro experience. The place is popular, thus crowded with poor acoustics i.e. too noisy for a normal conversation. I was told management is working on a solution.

Heard about this place from friends n social media so decided to give it a try. Wow! Love love love. From the moment we walked in until we walked out, the experience was memorable. Food was excellent n service was top notch. Only setback is the distance. Truly a culinary gem.

Tugu Lombok: "Magnificent, Fantastic, Private"

Review by: archana_iiithyd | Source: Trip Advisor
The staff and service is amazing. The look and feel of the resort is unique and very beautiful. They have two swimming pools and the bigger one has a beautiful view and is big enough. The rooms are decorated very well and fresh flowers are placed in the rooms. For a peaceful getaway, I would surely return here.
