Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Paradise on earth in God’s own country!"

Review by: shirishnv | Source: tripadvisor.com
This was our 2nd visit to Neeleshwar Hermitage but this time with our extended family of 15 with the oldest being 79 yrs & the youngest 9 yrs. Neeleshwar has still maintained the high standards it has set for itself. We had the whole resort for ourselves as there was no one else the 1st 2 days. Located on the beach in the Arabian Sea, this resort is an ideal place for a quiet holiday with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & a big thanks to Jayan & his team for making our holiday that much more relaxing. Will definitely come back.

tugu bali: "Beautiful Old Bali Style"

Review by: Lucia G | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I had spend a couple of night's at the Tugu over Nyepi (Balinese day of silence) and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms are stunning, full of little details that make your stay pleasant and also very unique - you feel in Bali, not like this could be any resort around the world. The staff is very sweet and friendly and the location is unbeatable, walking distance from the beach. "

Tugu Bali: "Traditional old world Balinese style hotel"

Review by: Judy B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Drive through traditional villages and rice fields. Only 30 minutes from Seminyak. It is a lovely drive and sometimes people want to see the rice fields without spending a day driving to Ubud. Arrive at Tugu, lovely old world traditional hotel for a nice lunch. A couple of hours of your time well spent. Relaxing, peaceful and educational. "

Satri House: "Truly beautiful hotel"

Review by: TiraG | Source: Trip Advisor
This is one of the most beautiful historic boutique hotels in the world. From the moment of our pick up and check in to check out everything was truly 'royal' and perfect. The staff was the most impressive. The architecture and grounds are breathtaking. The rooms lovely and relaxing in decor. One really felt as if you were a guest of royalty long ago. Breakfast was elegant and delicious. The restaurant served tasty dishes though we liked some more than others. The red curry was super delicious.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Exquisite mountain lodge situated 1000 feet above Pokhara Valley"

Review by: Bob92110 | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed two nights at this marvelous mountain lodge that sits on a hilltop ridge overlooking the Pokhara Valley. Your "room" is actually a very spacious, luxurious, comfortable, hand cut stone bungalow blending naturally into their surroundings and sited to maximize the breathtaking vistas of the valley and Himalayas mountains. Each room has a private verandah and set in private gardens. There is an infinity pool with unmatched views of the mountains. The main lodge with both in and outdoor dining facilities and patios to enjoy the valley and mountain views is very, very nice. Our first night there were just three couples and we enjoyed a lively discussion over dinner. The second night had a large group of 19 guests which didn't "take over the space" since the bungalows are spread out and all very private. Most enjoyable stay here after our three days of trekking. Great place to begin your trekking experience or to recuperate afterwards. Most relaxing and the restaurant offerings are top notch, as is the staff and the manager, Mark. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Book this safari experience!"

Review by: Sara H | Source: Trip Advisor
"Everything about our experience was fabulous. We have stayed in some pretty swanky places on this holiday but the food served to us out of a jungle kitchen was the best. The guys were helpful and really fun to be with. We were lucky enough to see a huge male leopard and lots of other amazing animals. We stayed in the luxury air conditioned tent - my best sleep of the holiday. Everything had been thought of. I can not recommend them more highly. Other companies have tried to copy but failed."

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Fantastisches Hotel, tolles Design, super Service"

Review by: Steffen M | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wir verbrachten auf unserer Reise in Indonesien vier Nächte im wunderbaren Sandat Glamping Tents. Der Aufenthalt war von vorne bis hinten hervorragend. Wir sind relativ spät (ca. 23 Uhr) am Hotel angekommen. Nach der ca. 1,5 stündigen Fahrt vom Flughafen und den letzten Meter auf etwas holprigen Straßen wurden wir vom Team sehr herzlich begrüßt (Tipp: Shuttle vom Hotel buchen! Wir haben das offizielle Taxi vom Flughafen genommen - am Schalter, der einem empfohlen wird - und mehr bezahlt als wir beim Hotel-Shuttle hätten. Die Preise auf der Flughafenhomepage sind nicht aktuell). Nach einer kurzen Führung durch das Hotel und unser Lumbung Legong konnte der Urlaub entspannt beginnen. Zimmer: Wir wohnten in einem Lumbung (einer traditionellen Reishütte) mit einem offenen Wohnzimmer und offenen Bad im EG und dem klimatisierten Schlafzimmer im OG. Alles ist sehr stylisch eingerichtet und sauber. Das Zimmer hat keinen Fernseher (wir haben ihn auch nicht vermisst). Insgesamt gibt es 8 Unterkünfte (5 Zelte mit eigenem Pool, 3 Lumbungs mit Gemeinschaftspool). Die fünf Zelte sind etwas versteckter. Unser Lumbung war auch etwas versteckter, die beiden weiteren liegen am Gemeinschaftspool. Am Pool gibt es (bei zweier Belegung der Lumbungs) immer genug Liegen - insgesamt 6 Stück. Lage und Anlage: Die Anlage liegt inmitten von Reisfeldern, was einen besonderen Charme hat. Man entkommt dem doch eher trubeligen Ubud und findet sich in einer tollen Umgebung wieder. In der Umgebung arbeiten die Reisbauern auf den Feldern. Morgens kann man an manchen Tagen die Gesänge (zum Gebet?) der Einheimischen hören, was wir im Positiven besonders fanden, da es beruhigend war. Das Hotel bietet einen regelmäßigen Shuttle nach Ubud mit sehr netten Fahrern an. Die Fahrt dauert ca. 10 Minuten. In der direkten Umgebung gibt es im Grunde nichts. Ein paar ganz kleine Läden von Einheimischen, die nur das Wesentlichste (kleine Snacks, Getränke) anbieten und das auch nicht mit Garantie Service: Alle Mitarbeiter sind super nett und versuchen alles möglich zu machen. Uns wurde immer weiter geholfen. Unsere Dusche leckte bei Anreise etwas. Nachdem wir Bescheid gaben, war das Problem nach 30 Minuten behoben. Toll! Gastronomie: Das Frühstück ist super. Es gibt leckeres Brot, Joghurt, tollen Kaffee, Süßgebäck (immer unterschiedlich), Ei in jeglichen Varianten und vieles mehr. Wir haben es sehr genossen im tollen Restaurant beim gemütlichen Frühstücken zu sitzen, welches es sogar bis 11:30 Uhr geht. Wir haben zudem zwei Mal abends im Restaurant gegessen. Alles von sehr guter Qualität, aber hochpreisig. An den restlichen Tagen haben die leckeren Warungs in Ubud besucht. Design: Das Sandat Glamping Tents verdient einen eigenen Punkt zum Design. Angefangen von der Architektur und den Materialien der Gebäude bis zu den Details auf den Zimmern ist alles sehr stylisch eingerichtet bzw. designt ohne unpraktisch zu sein. Das Highlight ist das Restaurant, welches eine sehr hohe, nahezu aus rein natürlichen Materialien errichtete offene Konstruktion ist. Auch das Innere hat absoluten Stil. Wir waren neben dem Gebäude selbst, sehr von dem 6-8 Meter langen Massivholztisch begeistert. Fazit: Sehr stylisches Hotel, welches ab der ersten Minute den Wohlfühlfaktor hat, welcher durch die tollen Mitarbeiter abgerundet wird. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert."

Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "Nice hotel, lovely staff"

Review by: Camaderry | Source: Trip Advisor
This hotel is a little gem. Large rooms/ suites in a perfect location in this very nice town. The staff were uniformly so friendly and helpful. I can confirm that the breakfast on the roof terrace is excellent. We have a lovely memory of our stay here.

Mathis Retreat: "Charming Ubud resort !"

Review by: Phong1976 | Source: Trip Advisor
Back to this charming resort. Everything is magic, decoration, situation over a rice field and such a nice service. Special greeting to Karine the hotel manager who is a truly customer oriented person. Last but not the least, because we are in Bali also for food ... the Terra Cotta restaurant is just amazing, quality and tasty. We will come back again soon.
