Tugu Bali: "Amazing property"

Review by: lesserodyssey5 | Source: Trip Advisor
Very unique experience staying in this hotel. Quick walk to the surf breaks at Batu Balong, Old Man's and Echo Beach/Pererenan from the lovely beach area on the property. Food in the restaurant is a bit more expensive than other options in the area but well worth the price.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "A step back in time not to be missed: gorgeous place"

Review by: Alex D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Absolutely amazing place! This was the house of a rich Chinese merchant which is/ has been restored to its former glory. We stayed for 3 nights in 2 different rooms: they were both gorgeous, dark wood/ white walls, Chinese furniture - all well appointed. Comfy beds. Breakfast was good and varied, some buffet items with other dishes on order (included in price). Small but perfectly formed pool area, with some rooms having direct access. There is a small museum as part of the hotel and tours are free for customers. Great staff too. The location is good for the city centre, about 5mn walk. There is a night food market next door with about 30 different stalls offering different foods: just grab a table, do a tour and order food - they will bring it to you. Entertainement is provided and well fun. Strongly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again!"

If you want to go to Cebu for whale watching, canoneering, island hopping, snorkeling etc. this place is the perfect place to center your vacation. Kudos to the manager Bryan, the cook Marivic and our tour guide to Kawasan and Aguinid Falls Mervin.

MesaStila Resort and Spa: "Amazing"

Review by: alfianharfin | Source: Trip Advisor
"very good place with amazing views and facilities. The resort crews were also very helpful and kind to support and assist us during our stay there. I stayed there as domestic guest and it was still worth to stay. Don't miss the coffee tour and local batik making!"

Talabgaon Castle: "Simply Wonderful"

Review by: Tonya J | Source: Trip Advisor
"We arrived late in the evening and still enjoyed a very warm welcome from staff, The music, food, and ambiance were a very special treat. The Castle is simply beautiful. I awoke for sunrise, with light shining through the many stain glassed windows that adorned my bedroom. I wandered about the property, enjoying the light as it rose above the Castle. A staff member wished me a warm good morning, and took time to show me more about the Castle. A very special treat! Talabgaon Castle is a very tranquil place with attentive staff ... it's a great place to escape the business of over places in India. Breakfast was home cooked - welcomed and tasty. I also enjoyed a cup of coffee in my room prior to heading out to explore. I enjoyed finding the many fresh flower potpourri vessels, as well as a few peacock sitings! It was a visit to remember, for sure. I only wish we could have stayed for at least another day. The drive to the Castle may seem a bit lengthy, but in my opinion it's well worth it. Take time to enjoy the India experience along the way! The journey ... and the destination ... is the reward. Enjoy!!!"

Jing’s Residence: "Why did we stay only one night?"

Review by: jcrane66 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Actually, the answer to the question in the title of this review is that we didn't have more time to spend on holiday. Our greatest mistake was not having two nights at this lovely hotel. Imam at reception was kind and welcoming. He made us feel right at home. The room was gorgeous and the courtyards of the hotel are lovely. The hotel is so quiet - it was the best night sleep we had the whole holiday! The breakfast was off a menu and the choices were both Chinese and Western. And both of our choices were delicious. We also decided to eat dinner at the hotel. It was ""upscale"" pricewise, but the food was excellent and well presented. We also were able to try some of the local dishes which we would have missed out on if we were just wandering the streets. We would recommend this hotel to anyone - and we hope that one day we will find ourselves back in the Jing Residence.... "

Locavore: "Stunning… Again"

Review by: Martin O | Source: Trip Advisor
Once again Locavore blew us away. What they do is spectacular and they appear to deliver the goods without drowning the dishes with unnecessary foams and jus - the creativity seems to lie in spectacular combinations of products and spices that give and give on the palate. Just stunning and very clever. We dined with a chef from Australia and she was hugely impressed. Always nice when your guests are thrilled. Keep up the spectacular work!!

Jing’s Residence: "Surpassed Expectations"

Review by: John K | Source: Trip Advisor
"Our room was delightfully different from your usual hotel room. Very large on the first floor at the rear of the premises. Rustic, eclectic, full of character. Food in the restaurant was first class - good choices for a small hotel. Comfortably western if that's what you want."
