Tugu Malang: "The most wonderful hotel in Indonesia"

Review by: CapitaineKiwi | Source: Trip Advisor
We have stayed in Malang city for a week or two almost every year for 44 years & for the past 22 years we have stayed at Tugu Malang. Not only is Tugu Malang the best hotel in Malang but we maintain that it is the best hotel in Indonesia. The atmosphere, the design, the décor, Pak Anhar's wonderful collection of antiques and artifacts displayed about the hotel, the swimming pool, the bridge over the koi pond with the most beautiful koi fish I have ever seen - the experience never ends. The food at the popular & wonderful Melati Restaurant never fails to satisfy. Fabulous menu, always excellent food and the largest range of Nasi Gorengs in Indonesia. Never miss Nasi Goreng Tugu & Nasi Goreng Bang Samin - my mouth is watering at the memory. We always bring friends & guests to eat at the Melati Restaurant and it appears that many of the travellers who stay at other hotels in Malang also prefer to dine there. The best spa and massage facility is without a doubt at Tugu Malang. Most of all, the wonderful, friendly staff are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. We love being spoilt and pampered at Tugu Malang and would never consider staying anywhere else in Malang. See you again next year.

The Island Lodge: "Shangri-La on the Mekong"

Review by: jdmcg47 | Source: Trip Advisor
"This hotel enjoys an idyllic location on the banks of the Mekong & everything about it is right. Our room provided a great view of the river & waking up to the dawn chorus of roosters crowing & the gentle murmur of river traffic was a delight. We were then able to move to the balcony & watch the sun rise. Our spotlessly clean room was spacious & comfortable with copious quantities of bamboo in keeping with the location. The bed was large & comfortable with an attached shower room & separate toilet. The food at both dinner & breakfast was superb & my wife commented that her quiche & salad was one of the best she had ever eaten. I still remember the exquisite chocolate fondant. Breakfast was cooked to order so we could have as much as we wanted & nothing was wasted. Service throughout our visit was exemplary. Outside, the hotel has a good-sized swimming pool & sauna with ample sun loungers, complete with parasols, towels & sun hats, for all the guests so there is no need to arrive early & reserve one. We recommend this hotel unreservedly for all ages."

Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Beautiful grounds and great staff"

Review by: Lauren S | Source: Trip Advisor
The grounds are simply beautiful! Incredibly peaceful and lush surroundings with an incomparable staff. It's a pretty small resort, so the staff were incredibly attentive. We had fried frangipani flowers as an appetizer, and loved them so much that they made us more!

Locavore: "Amazing"

Review by: OtterWynn | Source: Trip Advisor
One of the best, if not the best restaurant in Bali. Unbelievable taste combinations, presentation and service. We ordered the seven course tasting menu but were actually served 19 courses of snacks, palate cleansers and extras. Everything about this restaurant is amazing. We celebrated my birthday and they exceeded all expectations. Bravo Locavore!

Villa Song Saigon: "Away from the hustle and bustle"

Review by: SadieBell61 | Source: Trip Advisor
"I am so pleased I chose this hotel after reading previous reviews. It is in district 2 but the hotel provided a taxi boat to the centre of Saigon and it was lovely to get back to serenity after a full day of sightseeing. The bedroom we had was huge! The pool area was lovely. There is no set time for breakfast! You can have it anytime when you get up, I wish more hotels would do this. The staff are very professional and nothing is too much of a problem. Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Maison Polanka: "“Rooms with character ”"

Review by: franks820g | Source: Trip Advisor
While in Siem Reap on business I wanted something with more character than the usual hotels, that could also be my home for my business trips. I found Maison Polanka thanks to an article in the Financial Times. As others have said, the rooms are beautiful and the staffs extremely helpful managing to arrange temple tour to fit my business schedule. The nature there is just so peaceful and gives me energy to start my day as well as rejuvenates me in the evening.Once you enter the wooden gate,it is another world. Just bliss!

Mathis Retreat: "Fabulous"

Review by: Linda A | Source: Trip Advisor
Just a little out of the hustle and bustle of Ubud this hotel was fantastic. Tucked back off the street the entry isn't that inviting.But once inside, you see the beautiful infinity pool overlooking the rice fields and the thatched roof open air restaurant. We stayed in a bungalow with a private little yard (#7) Just behind the beautiful pool, an across from the restaurant. The room was very large, high ceilings, roomy bathroom. We loved it!! It has a shuttle into town and back. It was always great to get back to this beautiful place for a good meal, peace and quiet. It felt like we were coming home. Book this place. No worries.
