Review by: stephaneo685 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Après avoir séjourné plus de 3 semaines à travers tout Bali et encore une semaine à la découverte de lumbok, nous sommes arrivés dans ce petit paradis pour finaliser notre voyage de 25 ans de mariage. 5 nuits d enchantement ou vraiment incomparable à tout autre hôtel de notre sejour et pourtant d autre de grand luxe également et un du même nom sur Bali qui n a absolument rien à voir . Ici tout à été parfait le repos, la plage magnifique digne d une carte postal avec le mobilier et décort très particulier qui font tout le charme de cet endroit Je ne vais pas m attarder sur la villa parfaite literie salle de bain etc... tout y est magique ou encore qu' il vous sera possible de vous faire servir vos repas ou bon vous semble partout dans le parc ou sur la plage ect. Non je préfère m attarder sur ce que vous ne trouverez nul par ailleurs croyez moi c est ici qu' on a vraiment ressenti la bienveillance le sourire vrai et l âme véritable du personnel indonésien. Vraiment des jardiniers , des hommes de chambres, des serveurs, Et surtout de la superbe responsable qui du 1er jours au derniers passera vous dire bonjour mais surtout s assurer que tout se passe bien. Le fait d avoir une responsable indonésienne qui aime son pays et surtout est aussi proche de son personnel que de sa clientèle fait vraiment toute la différence . Il y Régine un état d esprit complètement différent que ce que l on a pu voir dans d autres hôtels de même catégorie , ici on y sent le respect mutuel et de ce fait une ambiance ou il y fait bon vivre . Alors c est sur qu' on en gardera un merveilleux souvenir et qu' on le conseil vivement à toute personne qui passe par lumbok! Room Tip: Nous avions une villa avec petit jardin privé. Très bien.et très spacieuse See more room tips Stayed October 2016, traveled as a couple"

Rachamankha: "Tranquility"

Review by: bbendorf827 | Source: Trip Advisor
Rachamankha was wonderful. Very clean rooms, great customer service and extremely quiet. The rooms were big with AC, lots of free bottled water and a hair dryer. Every detail was beautifully thought out. No complaints and I have already recommended it to many friends. I would return for sure.

Tugu Malang: "Luxury and services are beyond expectation"

Review by: AdFiaSasongko | Source: Trip Advisor
"I was there only for a day and wish to come back soon. The room was impecable, perfect with a touch of personal welcome in a card. Our room facing the front hotel but not noisy at all. The bedsheet was super clean and it was a standard five hotel services and facility. The amenities was not much but enough. Small pool but convenient enough for children. Good selection of breakfast with some a la carte menu. The hospitality is unbelievably super friendly. A typical warm small size five star hotel that you would never experience in a big busy hotel. This hotel was beautiful in a an outdated way, and you may find it quite spooky at the back part, but for some, it may be the point of attraction. "

Pindaya Farm House: "Amazing stay at the farmhouse"

Review by: Robin C | Source: Trip Advisor
Had an unforgettable one night with my family of 5 adults and 2 kids several weeks ago. Amazing serenity surrounded by beautiful mountainview and farm, in which the property host raises various kinds of fresh veggies and herbs. The rooms were equipped with comfortable beds, and the modern style shower was a pleasant surprise! My favorite part of the property...

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Fine dining at very good value for money"

Review by: Joan S | Source: Trip Advisor
So pleased I reserved this restaurant 90 days before we got there! It is so much in demand and I am not surprised. We chose the 6-course dinner accompanied by their recommended wine and with each course you look forward to the next one. Art on a plate and simply delicious. Just $31 for the 6-courses! Unheard of!!! Chef came round each table for our comments which we really did appreciate especially when the restaurant is so busy. The hostess was also very helpful and pleasant.

Maison Polanka: "Slice of Paradise"

Review by: Snowcoop | Source: Trip Advisor
After a long, hot day visiting temples, driving up to the front gates of Maison Polanka was a welcome relief. You knew from the moment you stepped through the gates, you would be well taken care of and be in an oasis of green. The staff treated us like long lost family and knew all our names from the moment we arrived. Our room (purple room) was spacious and well appointed with a great shower. It was clean and perfect. Meals by the pool were peaceful and delicious. There was really no reason to leave to go for meals. The swimming pool was small but the perfect place to cool off. My son (10yrs) was entertained by the bunnies and puppy and wandered the property freely. The tours and tuk tuks that were arranged were fantastic and reasonably priced. All in all, a great experience.

Inle Princess Resort: "Brilliant"

Review by: Zzz B | Source: Trip Advisor
We can not say enough about this excellent hotel, had the best of food, service, rooms, views but the arrival into it is simply stunning Tucked away from the main lake, on its own part of the lake is a peaceful set up Highly recommended

Villa Song Saigon: "Wonderful Gem of a Boutique Hotel – Do Not Miss"

Review by: lilingenue | Source: Trip Advisor
"A beautifully restored French Colonial property, Villa Song boasts just 23 rooms in a low key neighborhood, surrounded by expat residences and international schools. Hard to imagine that not much more than a decade ago, this area was pretty much swamp land! Before going, you really should know what Villa Song is not: - This is not a large chain hotel - every contact you have with the staff is friendly and warm, and chances are you may not know their names but they will certainly know yours. You're not just a face in the crowd. However, for being of such an intimate size, Villa Song has the extras that you don’t often find in similar boutique hotels: a gorgeous long swimming pool for doing laps or sunning yourself by, a pretty decently equipped gym room (machines & free weights), and a spa that doesn’t break the bank. - This is not a property you visit to party at as there's no late night bar or club thumping away downstairs (thank goodness). Along the same lines, don’t expect around-the-clock room service – we certainly didn’t miss it, since there’s a ton of late night delicious eats in this city. - Having said that, this is not the most accessible hotel to popular street eats and the sights, but it's surprisingly easy to get around, thanks to the complimentary hotel boat shuttle that zips you up/down the Saigon River to/from the Cau Mong pier on the border of Districts 4 & 1. These run on a schedule (book at the reception beforehand), and if there isn't one when you need it, an Uber saves you the hassle of dealing with unscrupulous cabbies, and takes you to/from the middle of District 1 within 15min for around US$6- US$7. Now onto what this beautiful property IS: - It is infinitely charming. Every room is unique, and even the same room type will vary in size. You'll get the same awesome water pressure in the shower though, which we loved, and lightning fast wi-fi. Also, in our case, although the Sanctuary room that we were upgraded to was a bit petite in size, we had a wonderful good-sized balcony that overlooked the river...perfect for a mid-afternoon beer (complimentary from the minibar) or a snooze. Breakfasts by the river are a calming way to start the day, no matter what time you decide to rise (!!!), and the food is well- portioned and delicious. And THAT iced Vietnamese coffee...my partner and I will be dreaming of those until our next visit! - It is incredibly service oriented. From check-in to check-out, and for our every want in-between, the staff at Villa Song offer up their help with warmth and smiles...we felt truly welcomed and at home. Besides our complimentary room upgrade upon our late night check-in, we were surprised with a cheesecake plate that was decorated with warm wishes (the trip was a belated birthday trip for my partner) – we were very touched. - It is really good value for money. While it’s not the cheapest hotel around, it certainly delivers much better bang for your buck than you’d expect for similar boutique properties, especially if you can find a deal through a third party website. Bathrooms are fully equipped with toiletries, toothbrushes and other bits you may have forgotten, hairdryers, and in-room Nespresso and minibar is complimentary (albeit with a selection that’s a bit spare), and the value-add of the boat shuttle to town that I mentioned previously takes it to the next level. Thank you to everyone at the Villa Song for a wonderful stay! The next time we visit, we will definitely be indulging ourselves with a stay at one of your beautifully appointed suites. We can’t wait."
