Hotel Tugu Bali: "Dinner and a show"

Thursday night cultural show was very lovely (you should make a reservation, but they nicely accommodated us). Very reasonably priced dinner, also very delicious. The music was lovely, and so were the dancers. Great way to spend a Thursday evening!

Sukoon Houseboat: "Best Houseboat Experience"

The place is extremely peaceful Lives upto the name sukoon = peace The food is exceptional and staff is very helpful. The service is better than five star hotels. The upper deck is great for experiencing the calm Dal lake. This is my second stay here... And totally recommend it.

Flower Island: "Stunning, paradise, Robinson Crusoe Island"

"For us this place was perfect. Absolute heaven. Its secluded, quiet, relaxing etc what more can you want? The resort is sympathetic to the environment and the staff are unobtrusive and get on with their job. I say this because I think you need to be aware of these things before booking. Because this is remote I don't think you should expect; Ultra high speed wifi, staff attending to your every need waiting on you hand on foot, luxury Egyptian cotton, etc.. This isn't that kind of place. If you want that go and find a faceless, corporate resort. Instead, check in, turn off your phone, put your swimming trunks on and relax..... The staff were super friendly, and I loved their level of service, approachable, friendly, nice etc... Not uptight in any way. (...) I liked the food, always a good variety - 5-6 pots from which you could help yourself and always plenty of it. Really enjoyed the Pearl Farm, trip a wander around the island and Amber the dog rocks !!!! (and i don't like dogs!!)"

Locavore: "Mind blowing food"

"If you are a lover of fine dining. Do not miss this restraunt. This is food at its best. Flavours are immaculate. Presentation by the god of artists. I am lost at how express how good the dining experience was. Service is great. Book at least 3 weeks ahead. You will have regrets. The potions are small but you don't go hungry. Will be back for sure."

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Very peaceful place"

"We stayed three nights at 4 Rivers and we have enjoyed every minute. Beautiful location and friendly staff. The tent is very spacious and the bathroom is fully equipped. All tents have a lovely terrace with 2 sunbeds. We went with Mr. ""W"" Mr. ""Rambo"" to the Tatai Falls and to the Fishing Village and both trips were wonderful. Every night you can go out to watch the fireflies; beautiful! The only downside for me personally was the heat in the tent. The days we visited 4 Rivers it was very hot. There are 2 mobile fans in the tent, but that doesn't make any sence in that kind of heat. The second night we opened the tent on all sides,(there are mosquitonets in all windows) but there was also no wind, so.... but the whole experience was absolutly fantastic, so I forget those 3 night with no sleep... :) https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g1532269-d1544191-r450676407-4_Rivers_Floating_Lodge-Koh_Kong_Koh_Kong_Province.html#"

Cuca: "Great restaurant"

This is the third time we have eaten at Cuca. Doesn't disappoint! The meal sizes are small and quite rich. We have enjoyed the experience each time we have been. Its not the type of restaurant you would eat in night after night but definitely worth a visit. Only negative - $15au for corkage! A bit steep when the bottle is only worth $25.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "Beautiful beautiful beautiful"

I don't know where to start but Sanak Retreat is super beautiful ! Do not expect party or night out nearby Sanak as this place is far from the usual tourist places but that's what make Sanak so special. A place for total relaxation. Very well designed, attention to detail in service and the design. Staff are very professional and super friendly. We eat there 3x a day as no restaurants nearby but we knew this and we love it. The view is amazing especially during sunset. They have beautiful spa and also offers some well tailored programmes (trekking, waterfalls trip and many others). I'm so happy and I'm booking again for my next visit this coming October :-) See you soon Sanak!

Mathis Retreat: "Heaven in the rice fields"

"Back for a third time to this beautiful place. Quiet and serene, being 4km out from the city centre isn't too much of a challenge when you have a shuttle car going every hour. If you're feeling energetic you can walk! Kind Karine, the manager told us of alternative walking routes to get to Ubud from the hotel to take in more sights and get off the main road which I'll be sure to try on my next visit. The amazing quality breakfasts haven't changed, nor has the sense of peaceful village flow. A highlight was a visit from the gorgeous friendly neighbouring cat! Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

Sanak Retreat Bali: "A retreat to remember"

"My wife and I stayed here for four nights as part of our honeymoon. We loved every minute of it. The most important part to us was how friendly the staff was. From management to restaurant and spa staff, everyone treated us so well. Management was very helpful in providing ideas for us to fill our days with activities and see the areas. They organized all of our excursions. The rooms are clean and have beautiful views of the rice field that the property is built next to. It was not bothersome to not have air conditioning due to the cool temperatures during the night and early morning. The pool is so clean and with great views. The spa was by far the best spa we had ever been to. It was also better than any spa we went to for the rest of our Bali trip (which included 3 different cities). Spa prices were slightly more expensive than in Ubud, but much cheaper than any 5 star hotels or U.S. cities. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. You have a fresh fruit juice, pancake or yogurt, eggs, bacon, toast with fresh jams, fresh fruit place, delicious balinese coffee or tea. We also had dinner at the restaurant every night. We found the food to be fresh and delicious, the waiters attentive, and prices affordable. During our four night stay we did a few activities, which I would highly recommend. The first day we took a little trek of the nearby rice fields which concluded wth walking into a waterfall. The scenery was beautiful, waterfall refreshing. The second day we took a tour of lake Lembongan. It included a guide which guides you through a short trek through a forest-type area, and a slow canoe ride. After Lake Lembongan, you make a stop at the Munduk waterfalls. Lastly, we tried the cooking class offered through the property. The young girl (named Ayu?) made us feel very comfortable and took us step by step through a yummy Balinese meal. Overall, we absolutely loved this property and the activities it offered in the surrounding areas and will definitely return again. (Please consider leaving small tips $1-3 for the staff at the spa and the restaurant/bar. It is by no means expected, but you could tell that it was much appreciated)"

Satri House: "Great hotel in peaceful surroundings"

"We stayed for a week here.The room was great with large balcony and the gardens contained some beautiful landscaping and sculptures. It is a short, level 10 minute walk to the centre of luanprabang. They have free bicycles for use and cycling is easy and safe.The staff were excellent and wonderfully helpful when one of us was unwell. Breakfast was a real feast with fresh croissant, home made jams,eggs and fresh lao coffee. The pool was long and great to swim in . a very tranquil place to stay."
