The Apsara Rive Droite: "Charming town and hotel"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Apsara. It is a beautiful colonial building. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the river. The staff were all very nice, and the food was really good. We spent New Years Eve there and ate dinner at the hotel. We loved Luang Prabang, it was one of my favorite places in S.E. Asia Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Historical beauty"

What a special and unique place to stay. Amazing high ceilings and fabulous architecture. VERY hot water in the shower and the nicest linen I’ve slept on in a long time. Breakfast was delicious. Didn’t eat other meals in the hotel but the menu looked great. The pool is in a sweet back garden which we had all to ourselves. No good for exercise but perfect for dipping, splashing and cooling off. Well located for a wonder to Love Lane and a gentle walk home after too much hawker food. I love this place. Staff were friendly and helpful but their English (although infinitely better than my Malay) not great.

tugu bali: "Staying in the middle of art and culture"

"We were travelling with three small kids (3,5,7) and Tugu hotel in Canggu was our last stop in Bali after staying in Intercontinental Jimbaran and the villas in Ubud and Lovina. We were looking for something different than the large chain hotels and Tugu hotel turned out to be just the right place. The hotel does not belong to the Small Luxury Hotels, Relais&Chateaux (they do not have any hotels in Indonesia yet?) or Boutique Hotels, so we found it kind of accidentally as our friends had recommended to stay in Canggu area and hotel Tugu is #1 in Canggu. The hotel could easily fit into the quality standards of the small luxury hotels. Although the hotel has a pool, this is not the reason to come to this hotel. There are hotels with bigger and better pools. Tugu hotel is for the guests who love architecture, art and culture, who are excited about original interior design and high quality antiquities and handicraft surrounding at every step: in the room, in the garden and literally everywhere. The service was perfect even on the background of the Balinese being in general polite and friendly. I would like to give special thank you to Pande Dwipa for an excursion in the facilities: Tugu hotel is an exquisite art museum and hotel in one. I can only admire the vision of the hotel owner Anhar Setjadibrata, to share the art he has collected with the guests in his hotels. Tugu hotel is definitely ""worth a detour"", to use a Michelin term. "

MesaStila: "Un des plus beaux hotels d’Asie"

"Le cadre de Ce superbe Hôtel colonial est incroyable : entouré d'une plantation de café et d'une forêt (jungle?). Calme absolu. Très bon service. Nous avions une chambre magnifique, sorte de villa individuelle avec une très belle terrace, des meubles de très bon goût, salle de bain incroyable ouvrant sur la jungle. Belle piscine avec une vue magnifique sur les arbres. Très bon restaurant. Les soins du SPA sont du même niveau que le reste. Je sillonne l'Asie du Sud Est plusieurs weekends par mois depuis 4 ans ... et il s'agit probablement d'un des plus beaux hôtels de la région. Stayed November 2016, traveled as a couple"

Les Maisons d’Itac: "A small but fantastic resort!"

We spent a long weekend in the bamboo house at this small but beautiful resort. Great experience. You are sleeping 3 meters from the beach! You hear the waves and all kinds of sounds in the night, very relaxing. The atmosphere at the place is great. It is sort of at the end of the road, so there is no restaurants or things to do within walking distance. But the staff and the manager Bryan are very serviceminded and will help you with anything you want to do or go to. We recommend you to eat all meals at the resort and then there's no need to go anywhere else. Just stay at the resort and enjoy it. We would love to come back some day!

Tugu Lombok: "peaceful, wonderful, memorable"

"I was very lucky, because I won Tugu Raffle ticket in 2015, and we could stay for free for 2 nights at any Tugu Properties, and we choose Tugu Lombok. And we couldn't be happier. Even though we stayed there for free, the Tugu People didnt treat us any less than their high standard of service. I ve stayed at Tugu Malang few times,been to all their restaurants in Jakarta, so I have experienced of how good their services were, but tugu lombok service was exceptionally great! from the moment we arrived, we were greeted by lovely Sharron, their GM, mba Hani, the manager, and pak Hendri.. all of them were calling us by first name during our stayed, and Pak Faisal from the restaurant too... they were such a nice people..I was traveling with my husband and my 4 yo boy. and even my boy commented on how nice the people in Tugu lombok. they were very attentive and they made sure that we enjoyed our stay by always asked us whether we need any assistance, without being annoying. we stayed at ampenan 6, and in front of the room, there was a big field of grass garden, and at the end there was a swimming pool and the beach. my boy loves to swim at the swimming pool, as well as swimming at the ocean next to the swimming pool, with the local kids (he kept talking about that experience). The beach is nice, with its long white sand. it was lovely walking around the beach (the have the swing and hammock too at the beach, under the big trees). the Ampenan room itself was very cozy, big, with a high ceiling, and not creepy at all. very clean and beautiful. they have a semi outdoor bathroom with a small green garden next to the bath room. for the food : I always love Tugu's restaurant, anywhere I go, i never disappoint with the quality of their food. and we were very happy that Tugu Lombok restaurant matched our expectation. we had the best ayam taliwang in tugu lombok's restaurant ( a must try!!). on a second night, we wanted to have dinner on the beach, but when we try to to book to have diner at the beach in the morning, the reservation was full. when we came to the restaurant later that night for dinner, we met Pak Faisal and Pak Faisal said : let me try to get you guys a place on the beach, and apparently Pak Faisal set up the gazebo next to the beach, right at that moment, with all the candles, so we can have our dinner at the beach. very impressive service!! .. and on saturday morning, my boy got to witness baby turtles being release on the beach next to the restaurant ..a rare occasion ... we also had a pleasant experience riding the bicycle around Tugu lombok. We really enjoy our stayed at Tugu Lombok. and we look forward to come back!!"

Mathis Retreat: "Stunning"

We only had two nights in Ubud at the end of our two week Bali holiday but I wish we had longer at Kenanga. What a beautiful peaceful hotel. Amazing rooms, helpful staff and such a nice private location. Would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Villa Song: "Great service"

the hotel looks absolutely gorgeous. The original room they gave us smelt like damp but they quickly changed our rooms as soon as we raised the issue. The service was great and they will cater to your every needs, we had an early morning flight (7am) meaning we had to leave at 5am and the chef made us take away sandwiches. It’s the little details that count!

Bassac Cruises: "A “must-do” to really see the Mekong in style"

We took the one night cruise on Bassac 2. The programme is lunch and afternoon cruise, visit to local village, dinner and evening cruise to anchorage, breakfast and morning cruise to disembarkation point with visit to floating market and noodle making. For us this was a perfect itinerary and duration and a great insight into life in this enormous and important area of Vietnam. The food, particularly lunch was fantastic. Continental breakfast also had hot food. The boat is a joy with plenty of seating space even though the boat was full. The guide, An, was brilliant.

Villa Mathis: "Very good value for money in a high-end boutique hotel"

Tasteful hotel displayed along 5 "villas" (sort of open-air living rooms), each of them with its own swimming pool. Around each villa, there are about 5 independent rooms, mostly with open-air bathrooms (Bali style). Beautiful gardens.
