Tugu Bali: "One of the best"

Review by: Julie M | Source: Trip Advisor
Beautiful gardens, luxurious accommodation, out of this world lobby featuring antiques and art collection. However, the best of this hotel is the service. I unfortunately became seriously ill from a previous dining experience at another hotel whilst in Bali. Jenny the Manager (and her amazing staff) went above and beyond to assist my husband and I. Jenny personally escorted us to an international hospital where I needed to stay. Jenny and her staff ensured my husband was ok in my absence and provided daily transport to the hospital and assisted with organising my travel insurance. Jenny...I cant thank you and your team enough. You should be so proud of your beautiful hotel but also of your amazing team. I cant wait to come back and actually eat some of the food (my husband said the Nasi Goreng was the best he ate in Bali!). Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Inle Princess Resort: "Relax and mellow in this beautiful setting"

Review by: Jan01234 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I rarely choose to review properties that have been so heavily reviewed by others -- but felt I had to given some of the absurd comments. No Wi-Fi! No TV! All I can say is YEAH!!! There are times to just get off the grid. You don't have to be connected 24-7. This is the magic of traveling to destinations such as Myanmar. We had a ""lake view"" bungalow which we enjoyed. The bird guide was nice, but the binoculars were poor (but we had brought our own, so no problem). The air conditioner struggled during the day but was fine at night. Breakfasts were solid, if somewhat uninspired. Dinners (and you're pretty much stuck here) were better than expected and more reasonably priced than we found at comparable sites (i.e. Bagan) in Myanmar. Wine selections, though, were quite limited and very costly. But the cocktails were interesting. The new swimming pool is a welcome addition. Without good road connections, you'll probably be booked here through a tour company. If not, boat access is a key and can be arranged through the hotel. Bottom line -- our favorite hotel of our 2-week trip in Myanmar"

Talabgaon Castle: "A countryside oasis"

Review by: SKCSC | Source: Trip Advisor
The resort is about an hour out of Jaipur in truly rustic rural surroundings. The castle has been very tastefully restored and the entire property is very well maintained. Being a small resort, it is idea as a very peaceful getaway. The food is very good.

Rachamankha: "Beautiful retreat!"

Review by: Thomas W | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel is a beautifully designed tranquil retreat situated within the old city walls of Chaing Mai. When I say beautifully designed, I mean exceptional to the extent that you can sit outside in the court yard and feel inspired by the tranquil beauty of the traditional dark wood roof, the columns and the traditional furniture designs. The only aspects which very mildly let the hotel down is the ceiling of the bathroom is white cork tiles similar to an office toilet from the 1990s. Also the shower head is about 10 years out of date, still works, it just hasn't got the the spread of any modern shower head. These are minuscule issues to point out but it's due to the rest of the hotel being so beautiful. If they did iron out these small aspects & revamp the rooms a little, then this hotel would be in line with others that cost 4 times the price. Tranquil, Beautiful & Relaxing. Escapism. A*****

Tugu Malang: "Excellent Place to Stay"

Review by: Retnomsf | Source: Trip Advisor
"Hotel Tugu Malang is a place to stay for those who love art and history combined with pleasure. While the service is way beyond average, one will also find that the food served in the restaurant and the snacks sold in the small shop house behind the hotel are able to entertain the taste buds. The artistic decoration of the hotel can also entertain the eyes. Absolutely nothing to complain, but....since there is nothing perfect in this world, I would suggest that each staff is provided with the same level of knowledge and way to explain the history of the hotel, the owner, the rooms and the antique goods so that all guests will get the same knowledge"

Villa Song Saigon: "Best Hotel we stayed at in Vietnam"

Review by: lhartman13 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Charming, well-run, well-situated hotel outside the hubbub and pollution of downtown HCMC/Saigon. We stayed here twice during out three week trip through Vietnam and Cambodia. Villa Song was a wonderful respite from the highly charged program. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed; the staff is helpful and professional; the food is excellent. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Room Tip: River view rooms are lovely."

Labyrinth: "Blown away experience"

It was a very pleasant dinner experience we had! We were looking forward to the next dish being served and each dish just keeps getting better. Recommend this place for anniversary, or a romantic dinner.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Wonderful holiday in a beautiful setting"

Review by: jcj60 | Source: Trip Advisor
hank you to all the staff at Neeleshwar for making it a truly memorable stay. The location/setting is beautiful and the sunset over the sea and lagoon breathtaking. A wonderful place to relax (although not the place to go if you want a lot of activities). We enjoyed the yoga, the spa and a keralan cookery class with the chef and have already managed a very passable chicken curry and poratha at home!! The rooms are very comfortable and worth upgrading to the seaview rooms which are just lovely. There are outside bathrooms with all mod cons which work very well in the heat. Lovely to relax on the balcony or in the hammock with a drink. The food was superb with a choice of curries in the main restaurant or fresh seafood on the beach. Christmas sorted with an excellent selection of gifts in the shop! Cant wait to return ....

The Island Lodge: "Serenity"

Review by: C V | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Recently went here a second time and it pure bliss. The resort is stunning, beautifully designed accompanied by good service and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere. We live in Saigon and we usually travel outside the country when we have any spare time but we make time to come to Island Lodge because it's that's great. We're actually going for our third visit in less than a week. Can't wait. "

Maduzi Hotel: "Romantic charm and home comforts in a busy city"

Review by: n810el | Source: Trip Advisor
Booked through SLH and got a pleasant surprise of a free upgrade and late check out. Excellent couples retreat with all the luxuries of a modern hotel yet cozy enough to feel at home. Service quality is excellent. Hotel is near enough to a BTS yet once in the compound you're cut-off from the hustle and bustle of the city.
