Mathis Retreat: "Great stay"

Review by: Ste_xx_71 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent four nights at Ubud in Kenanga Hotel during our August visit to Bali & Lombok. This has been our preferred location of our full holiday. Ubud is brilliant and Kenanga absolutely perfect. Once you are in the hotel you are out of the Ubud chaos and you can really relax. Wonderful view and extreme kindness the two top factors. My son (5 years old) enjoyed so much beeing free and look at ducks or walk on the small tracks through the rice fields. Karine, the hotel manager, has been very helpful with a lot of suggestions on how to use at the best our available days. We also tried a cooking lesson organized in the hotel just for us and we really enjoyed it too. The hotel restaurant is very good also for the demanding Italian tastes. Go there !!!"

Nimmu House: "Escale chaleureuse"

Review by: jakylou | Source: Trip Advisor
"A notre arrivée, tout avait mal commencé car booking.com n'avait pas réservé correctement nos 2 nuits au Nimmu House. Mais grâce à l'efficacité de nos hôtes Manon et Audrey, tout s'est finalement arrangé. Le personnel était aux petits soins durant tout notre séjour et, surprise, comme c'était le jour de mon anniversaire, nous avons eu le soir, au restaurant, un splendide gâteau d'anniversaire que nous avons partagé avec tous les convives. Les tentes, très confortables, sont dispersées dans le verger et tout ici respire la sérénité. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe du Nimmu House, nous avons passé un séjour enchanteur."

CHAKRABONGSE VILLAS: "A tranquil haven in the middle of Bangkok"

Review by: Gillian13100 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We stayed for the last night of our Asia tour and wished we had booked for longer. The Villa is a beautiful place in lush tropical gardens on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Diner and breakfast were superb and you really cant beat the view from the dining terrace. The staff were super friendly, making it all in all a lovely end to our trip. I hope their literary weekend was a success as they were all very excited to be hosting it and opening their doors to the general public for the 1st time."

Misool Eco Resort: "Amazing stay in paradise"

Review by: Rod38 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I have spent 9 days in the Misool Eco Resort in November 2106 and it was truly paradise. I have been to Raja Ampat before to resorts in the northern part, but this resort and diving are on a next level. The resort is great and very spacious compared to other resorts. The rooms and facilities are amazing, but what stands out is the staff and their commitment to make your holiday amazing. Yes, this resort is more expensive, but in my view worth it. The rooms, food and other facilities are super. The diving is next level, although norther Raja Ampat has also similar and amazing dive sites, the dive sites near this resort have much less people and most often you have dive sites just for your selves. Another big difference are the mantas, I have seen them in northern Raja Ampat and the Maldives, but here I saw almost always the larger oceanic mantas and they not only cam much closer, they were not only in the known cleaning station site, but we same the almost every day on other dives as well. Also, the muck ( diving is great, the amount of e.g. pygmy seahorses is amazing, etc. The dive guides and boat crew are super friendly and professional and actively search for what you want to see. My tip would be to try the new dive scooters and this was a lot of fun. Furthermore, their commitment to protect the reefs, fish, mantas and sharks is impressive. I would highly recommend to go to this resort if you like to fully relax and dive in paradise, thanks again to Sue, Marc and your entire staff for an amazing stay at your resort."

Villa Song: "Absolutely amazing"

Review by: Theboydeys | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at this wonderful hotel as a splurge to ourselves at the end of our holiday that was to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, from the moment we arrived every single staff member was amazing and the hotel absolutely beautiful. We had a quick check in and we're told about breakfast and everything else we needed for our stay, they give you a map and even highlight the taxis that tourists should use. After we went to our room we went to explore and the lovely Yega introduced himself to us and asked if we were happy with our room, of course we were it was beautiful he later asked if we would like a free upgrade and would we like to see the other room as they had had a cancellation , oh my goodness I thought our other room was beautiful this one was absolutely amazing, as Yega explained no room in the hotel is the same as any other, I could have cried our room was that special , I don't think it would matter what room you got they would all be amazing . The rooms are super quiet and have great blackout curtains. The walls are nice and thick so you can't hear the people next door. The bathroom have great toiletries including toothbrush and paste, razor, loofah and sewing kit.I was very happy to see scales in the room it made checking the weight of our luggage so much easier. The room is also equipped with a pod coffee maker, kettle and teapot and complimentary mini bar which included juice, water, soft drinks and beer. It was lovely to come back at nighttime to a turndown service and a yummy little bedtime treat, The boat to take you to district 1 is so much fun and the driver was lovely and took our photo for us and pointed out things of interest along the way. Breakfast was delicious, you choose a hot beverage, a fresh juice and your meal, I had the full breakfast and my husband had the eggs benadict and both were lovely. The pool was glorious and the water much cooler than others we have swam in on this trip, the pool chairs and pods were very comfortable and the pool boys were great, The bell boys were so helpful they were happy to get taxis for us or if we were using Uber they checked the number plate on our phone and kept an eye out for our car for us, and they would always open the car door for us when we arrived back to the hotel. The waitstaff were very friendly and has a chat to everyone and made everyone feel comfortable. Whatever room you get at this hotel you would be happy and we cannot wait to come back and we will bring our family with us next time. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so wonderful."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Great Stay!"

Review by: 142magdalenap | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at Golden Buddha Beach Resort for 3 Nights. The resort is surrounded by great nature and a beautiful, amazing Beach. It‘s very quiet except for all the great animal sound. Wild life nature The staff was very nice and super helpful with everything. Some sun beds on the big beach would have been nice since not every Bungalow is Beach front . Food was ok, small plates. If you need a Break from Thai food the beachbar serves Great Pizza. We definitely recommend this resort!"

Rachamankha: "Great spot in Chiang Mai"

Review by: AndyLosAltos | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Rachmanka is a small, beautiful, relaxing spot in the middle of bustling Chiang Mai. It's walking distance to the temples, night markets and restaurants, yet quiet and serene once you enter the gates. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable, the pool a perfect temperature and the breakfast in the restaurant (included in the rate) was fantastic. They make great lattes. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the New Year's Eve party was amazing! The only suggestions I'd make to the management (which other reviewers have also made) are: 1) Station a bell clerk out front so that when guests arrive someone is there to help them with their bags and show them where to check in. It's quite confusing to find the front desk as it's around the corner from the courtyard entrance. There's a bell clerk sitting at the front desk, but he should be sitting out front, greeting guests. 2) The hotel needs a concierge. The front desk staff were friendly and nice, and answered questions well, but it would have been nice to have one person on staff responsible for helping with trip and restaurant reservations. We were never sure who to ask for help with those things. Those two things aside, our experience was great, and we'd definitely stay there again vs. one of the high rise or away from town hotels."

Tugu Malang: "One of the finest of over 500 hotels in which I have stayed"

Review by: Cyclopath43 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This absolutely super-excellent hotel just knocked off my socks when I entered its lobby. Then I checked into my fabulous room with teak wood floors, a private sitting room with a large bowl of fruit on the table, a wonderful chest of drawers, a king-size bed, and a bathroom with a stainless steel lining and all the amenities that one could wish for. I was in heaven! The restaurant has a huge menu. Better yet, the food was excellent, well presented, and graciously served. I'd stay at this hotel in a heartbeat!!"
