Samanea Beach Resort: "Great Resort"

Review by: markmP8770RH | Source: Trip Advisor
"Loved staying here and the rooms were amazing. The staff were very friendly and were always there to help when needed. I traveled with my 2 daughters aged 3 and 6 and the staff were very accomodating to their needs and made sure they were well looked after as well. The rooms were spotless and the outdoor shower / bath was amazing. Would recommend to stay here and we will be going back for sure."

Sanak Retreat Bali: "simple luxuries"

Review by: Ruth H | Source: Trip Advisor
It may be unpretensious, ethical, and eco-friendly - but don't presume for a moment that Sanak Retreat isn't as beautifully designed and sumptuous as a high end hotel. Forged by the friendship between a local Balinese and a French businessman, the beauty of Sanak Retreat is the loving thought that has gone into every detail. It's the simple things after all that mean so much - the sweet sounds of the rice fields as dusk falls, the sensuous vivid green that surrounds you when the sun rises, the joyful bubbling of the river that runs through the property, the cool mountain air (and no mossies). The beautifully crafted timber villas are decorated with Indonesian textiles and wooden furnishings assembled by an astute collector, giving each room a sense of personal intimacy, and wifi and digital facilities are cutting edge. Local coffee and teas are generously provided. Every standing point has a view over the undulating highly oxygenated valley clear of both modern buildings and any hint of traffic noise. The retreat is deeply immersed in the local community, running a successful plastic recycling project with village children. And the restaurant offers a world class menu, including an extraordinary lemongrass creme brulee and a fine wine list. They will even bake you gluten free bread and pizza with a little warning, but local seafood is also fresh and delicious. There is a gentle, connected sense of calm and beauty here that you will be hard pressed to experience anywhere else in Bali. The spa facilities and private dining gazebo were created by die-hard romantics. And yet nothing is tizzy or florid. Good taste after all, is worth its weight in gold - or rice. And with several pools and lots of local treks, this is also a great place to holiday with children.

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Perfetto"

Review by: Kikifrancazzi | Source: Trip Advisor
"Ho prenotato questa struttura un po' alla cieca ma mi è rimasta nel cuore. Sono rimasta colpita dalla struttura, sono rimasta colpita dal tatto e dalla gentilezza con cui lo staff ti accompagna in una realtà così diversa. La stanza è molto curata sia negli arredi sia per quanto riguarda la pulizia. Abbiamo alloggiato nelle tenda con piscina privata ed è stata un'esperienza unica poter sentire i rumori della natura all'interno di una tenda dotata di ogni confort. Ubud è vicinissima e il resort ha delle navette gratuite con cui raggiungere il centro. Il responsabile Kendu ci ha aiutato in ogni nostra richiesta e necessita..Impeccabile! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Satri House: "An Oasis of Calm"

Review by: RickH45 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I must say that when we first arrived very tired after 24 hours of travelling my wife and l wondered where we were. It was dark and the hotel is just off the main road and we could not see the hotel.However on entering the hotel we were delighted with our choice.The staff were extremely helpful and the room was one of the nicest and comfortable rooms we have stayed in The whole hotel and rooms had wonderful objet d'art which added to the ambience. The restaurant was a separate building with outside verandas . We had 2 evening meals and breakfasts during our stay.The food was very well prepared and delicious although the restaurant lacked atmosphere ,most probably because we were out of season. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the centre of town but there were plenty of tuk tuks There are two swimming pools which when we visited in April were very necessary due to the high temperature 40 plus. We didn't want to leave.A delightful hotel"

Nimmu House: "Un pur moment de bonheur"

Review by: Duchalard | Source: Trip Advisor
A 30-45 mins du centre de Leh, Nimmu House est un petit havre de paix, calme, extrêmement agréable où Manon et toute son équipe souriante et chaleureuse vous accueilleront. Vous serez conquis par la maison principale Ladhaki typique de la région, et les tentes qui sont décorées avec beaucoup de gout. Les petits-déjeuners et dîners sont remarquables, fins et vous goûterez avec plaisir à une cuisine franco-Ladhaki pleine de saveurs. Nous avons confortablement dormi sous tente durant 2 nuits: On sent le souci du détail ainsi que les petites attentions (eau chaude en journée et le soir, grosse couette et petite bouillotte dans le lit la nuit venue, peignoirs en nid d'abeille...). Vous trouverez également quelques produits locaux à acheter sur place pour venir en aide aux familles du village (vente d'huile d'abricot bio, sachet d'abricots secs excellents...) sans oublier le feu de bois la nuit tombée autour duquel vous pourrez discuter balades ou autre en français notamment à moins que vous ne préférez regarder les étoiles dans les hamacs ou transats mis à disposition ! Bref, un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour ce pur moment de bonheur, de partage et de détente. Nous vous recommandons cette demeure de charme les yeux fermés et ... Longue vie à Nimmu House !

Maison Polanka: "Spoil yourself"

Review by: Mike P | Source: Trip Advisor
"This place was top notch. It was beautiful and quiet and the rooms were perfect. But what makes it top notch was all of the detail and the way the staff anticipate your needs. For example, we mentioned we might take their free bicycles into town so when we later left our room we noticed they had set out two bikes but also put cold water and a map in the baskets for us. You can book drivers/tuk tuks/guides through the hotel for temple visits and they always sent water and cold towels with the drivers- much appreciated in that heat! The hotel food was the best we had in the city. There are only five rooms so it feels personal but still offers plenty of privacy. The pool is the perfect place to hang out in the hot afternoons (or any time) and the entire compound makes you feel like you are in an oasis. The staff could not have been friendlier or more thorough. This place was worth every penny. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Idyllic setting, quality accommodation."

Review by: loveholidays | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed for 6 nights in a delightful room, located in one of the 3 Khmer houses located in a tropical garden, with lotus pond and a fabulous pool. There were plenty of comfortable lounges and sun beds all with sun canopies to shield us from the strong sun. The pool was a perfect temperature. The food was beautifully presented and the set menus were delicious. The breakfast choice was excellent, and served over looking the garden. Tea and coffee was available all day if the dining area, there was plenty of comfortable seating around the lotus pond and in a covered in area out of the sun if preferred. The crockery used was unique and made by Cambodian Artisans. The staff were very attentive and gave us brilliant hints and advice about tours etc. The drivers we had, were arranged by the hotel and drove very safely and we felt relaxed on our drive to Siem Reap airport. All in all a beautiful place to stay in a very friendly atmosphere highly recommended
