Supanniga Eating Room: "Food overdose"

The menu is very extensive from fish to vegetarian. Lovely ambience albeit the size of the restaurant. Gets pretty busy during peak hours. The prices are not expensive but the quality is almost fine dining.

Flower Island: "Relaxing in paradise!"

"Staying here was like being in paradise- your own tropical heaven away from everything. There's some incredible coral reef around which makes for some excellent snorkelling: we saw turtles on a number of occasions as well as a plethora of tropical fish. They also have some giant clams in the coral right in front of the beach. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and on one day took us to a pearl farm. I highly recommend a visit to the pearl farm - it's so fascinating to see this industry at work (not to mention more amazing snorkelling opportunities along the way!) (...) You can also hike up to the light house (around 10-15 mins) to get some lovely 360 degrees views. And there is a stone path going around the island for running: a complete cycle is around 1.7km, so 3 rounds, we did 5.5km ish. Oh - and did I mention those stunning sunsets...?"

MesaStila: "Pampered stay"

We have no negative comments about the Mesa Stila. We rarely return to a hotel which is not a beach location, as we vary our travel destinations, but we are considering where we can link with here as there was so much more to do than we managed in 3 days! We really appreciated seeing both ancient and contemporary Javanese culture. It would be unfair to praise an individual member of staff since everyone we encountered (including those around the grounds) provided wonderful service and a smiling greeting. The hamman experience is not to be missed. Thank you to everyone involved.

Jing’s Residence: "You must stay here!"

"It's beautiful. really. The rooms and courtyards and hotel lobby. All done excellently. The restaurant is beyond fantastic. We had two dinners there (they were included in the package we selected). It's a fixed menu and each dish was superb. My girlfriend, who is Chinese, said each dish really captures the essence of Chinese cooking with a subtle balance of tastes. It's quiet. We were in the back of the hotel (and there were few other guests). We were able to sleep with our window next to the bed open for natural cooling. The hotels offers a free transfer from the railway station and its centrally located in the ancient city, but far enough away from the tourist area not to be noisy or crowded. It is only a 3 minute walk along East street to get to the main intersection with South street. The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. English mastery varies person to person, but it is easy to communicate."

Locavore: "Amazing service and the Highlight of our trip to Bali"

"Right before our trip to Bali, we looked up the best restaurants in Asia and found Locavore, without knowing what to expect. Well, it was better than what we expected. The service, the staff and the chef's team paid attention to every single little details of our experience and our food. We sat up front by the ""pass"" and had the view of how hard the chefs and the team worked on each of our dishes. We received 6 extra appetizers before our main meals, which the chef explained to us that he wanted his guests to get something that they did not even expect. We were so happy with our experience in Locavore. We hope the restaurant will continue to grow and create. We also look forward to coming back in the near future to taste something new, creative and exciting."

Misool Eco Resort: "An amazing place"

The cottages are roomy and have plenty of storage. The staff is relentlessly positive. The diving and snorkeling is out of this world. Within a short boat ride from the resort are a myriad of sites and even the House reef good enough to snorkel again and again. The food is very good. The resort is located within a huge private marine reserve. This reserve has been a no take zone for about 10 years and it shows with the abundance of life.

Mudanwan Villa: "“ㄧ座讓人遺世獨居的好villa,不用趕搭飛機出國也能輕鬆度假的好地方，整日悠閒徜烊在陽光下、清風中⋯真是舒暢”"

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Perfection!"

"I can't believe I left my visit to Glenburn (and Darjeeling) to the end of my time in India. I definitely would have returned if I'd been earlier in my tour. The overall experience is fabulous, though there are adjustments that could be made to the property to make it out of this world. The property may not be as fancy as some five star resorts but the experience is everything you could hope for, largely thanks to the wonderful efforts of caretakers Will and Faye (and Alex, who is helping for a few months). They went out of their way to make the it memorable, warm and welcoming. The views and the grounds of the estate are lovely. The tea fields are interesting for a few hours. A lot of guests loved the trek to the Ranjeet River. I preferred whiling away the hours on the front verandah, which really is the perfect antidote to the chaos and dirt of most Indian cities. The catering is superb - kudos to the kitchen staff. If you like kitsch, it's worth the visit to the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway - though much of its journey is through town centres, cheek by jowl with people and their homes. The Shimla toy train may be better. Was lucky to catch a glimpse of Kanchenjunga on my last day but many don't get that lucky. It's still beautiful with or without that experience. The rooms are gorgeously quaint and the attention to detail with the decor is lovely. I loved all the butterfly touches in the Butterfly Room. But the owners may want to consider upgrading the sealing of rooms and electricity given the rates are in the higher bracket for the region. Post monsoon, I found a lot of creepy crawlies were making their way inside through gaps in the windows and an external door that couldn't close/lock. Also plugging in and using the hairdryer could get a bit buzzy given the old electrics. An upgrade to smooth the road to the property also wouldn't go astray. There is bumpy and there is feeling like you're in a washing machine. It's manageable if you don't get car sick but would be horrible if you do - I think the driver also makes a big difference. I did the road with two fabulous drivers and a less careful one as I was leaving and I noticed the difference. Despite those quibbles, I'd go again in a heart beat. Really loved the place. I was lucky to get a late room over the Dusshera/Durga Pooja holiday but apparently it books up fast."

Satri House: "Just wonderful and charming!"

"Excellent in every way! Top in quality of the rooms decorated with local and colonial furniture, the staff is helpful, the spa was really agreeable, the restaurant is top even if the staff is still lacking a bit of experience in the way of taking orders. For sure, this will be the place I will go back to next time I am in Luang Prabang."
