Neeleshwar Hermitage: "A resort well deserving a mention on trip advisor"

Review by: James N | Source: Trip Advisor
"Excellent staff lead by a very competent manager who made an effort to speak to guests at breakfast. It gave an opportunity to voice any outstanding issues in person( not that there was any ) Fine breakfast esp Indian food. Appam (indian pancake ) was made on request. Rooms were very clean well looked after . Every evening the room was turned over , mosquito coils set up and water and a bottle of local drink provided. The ambience was of a rural setting with soft lighting to guide us at night to our cottages. Tastefully decorated to a high standard. The landscaping was very appealing. Fine clean clear blue open air swimming pool that was just right for cooling off and swimming. The waiter service was infallible . Very polite English speaking staff made it all the more delightful. Very good avurvedic treatment with in house doctor for advise. In house tailor who can complete a shirt in lass than 24 hrs. Security was good day and night as I found out when walking alone by the beach. Crows are regular visitors at breakfast time and by the swimming pool. But well kept out the guests tables by a very astute guard who used a special technique to scare them away without any harm . The sandy beach is very hot to sun bathe . The sea water is a little unclear but warm and safe to swim. Sometimes the waves can be bigger than usual and hotel uses coloured flags to inform the safety condition of sea to guests. A few go to swim as most stay by the pool. This is a hotel worth a visit . Recommend at least a week for peace and sanity ! Room Tip: Facing the sea single cottage"

David’s Kitchen: "Fabulous restaurant experience!"

Review by: Diana S | Source: Trip Advisor
"On a cold day in England I heard on the radio in London last year that a restaurant in Chiang Mai had made it to the top 10 list of best restaurants in the whole world. As we'd already made plans to visit Chiang Mai on our forthcoming holiday to Thailand it seemed a very good idea to visit Davids Kitchen. What we didn't know then but know now, is that David's Kitchen isn't just about fine dining but was a fabulous experience. From the minute we walked in to the beautiful new building we were made to feel really welcome. David came to talk to us and was a really charming man who we could have gossiped with for hours! Once seated at a table which already had our names on, the staff were very attentive and helpful, the maitre'd making suggestions and even arranging for us to share some of the set menu so we could both try the delicious pumpkin soup. The beef bourginion was out of this world as was all the food, wine and cocktails. We felt very much at home there even though we'd never been there before. David and his lovely wife Prom along with their amazing chef Mr O have ensured that their restaurant isn't just a 5* experience but is real class. We will definately be back!!"

Tugu Lombok: "Fantastic in every sense of the word"

Review by: Cphillipson | Source: Trip Advisor
"Small (37 rooms), quiet, deluxe hotel on pristine white beach. The rooms are in villas and bungalows dotted throughout the extensive, well-tended gardens, which are full of intriguing Indonesian artefacts. The gardens are also full of birds, bees and at night bats - fantastic. Amazing food and lovely staff who just can't do enough for the guests. You really are made to feel like personal guests - everyone knew our names! Great little bar - each public room has a theme and a story to be told. The Cocktail King makes fantastic cocktails; the beer and wine's good too. Our beachfront villa was large with a fantastic private pool. There was even a fishpond in the villa's front garden. The huge bed was really comfortable and the shower-room/bathroom was amazing. Useful touches include ample space for clothes, loads of towels, bathrobes and slippers. Really loved the place. Can't recommend it highly enough. Stayed March 2017"

Rachamankha: "Beautifully Antique hotel with friendly services"

We enjoyed the antique furnitures and room, brilliant breakfast and excellent services. The room was tidied few times a day and we got welcome drinks and no insects wander in the room. Definitely recommended

Locavore: "Outstanding"

Review by: DexterD2013 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We chose to have the 5 course degustation menu with accompanying cocktails for each course. While we may have had some reservation about having cocktails instead of matching wine, they were a revelation! While we were waiting for our meal to begin we were stunned to be served with SEVEN 'amuse bouche' dishes prior to this. All were outstanding and each was described to us in detail by a member of the staff - sometimes a waitress but often one of the cooks - including the head chef. In a similar vein - the 1 dessert course actually ended up being a 'pre-dessert', main dessert, and then about 3 'post desserts'. All the dishes were of a very high standard with interesting combinations and flavours. The open kitchen allows you to observe the staff preparing the food - all in a seemingly tranquil manner. Service was outstanding and we waddled out after almost 3 hours, overwhelmed by the experience. Even though it is reasonably pricey compared to other restaurants in Bali (~US$150pp including drinks), it is well worth it."

Mie Cafe: "Lovely little restaurant with absolutely delicious food."

Review by: Alison H | Source: Trip Advisor
"My daughter recommended this restaurant having visited it last year. We were not disappointed. We ate from the a la carte menu but were tempted by the gourmet set menus. The food was beautifully presented and the flavours were magical. I highly recommend this little gem, set in a beautiful garden setting."
