Tugu Lombok: "Over any expectations – just a dream place!"

"We have spent the greatest six days at Tugu Lombok in the end of May/beginning of June 2016 to celebrate our wedding at Sire Beach. Already before being there, we could feel the warm and personalized service of the team of Tugu Lombok, which helped us to organize the complete wedding arrangements ahead, including legal steps. There was nothing we could not have asked for. Thanks Evi and Hanny for showing so much affort and passion in helping us celebrating the best day of our life! Once we finally arrived at our wedding location, we were stunned by the unique setting of this great hotel. No matter where you look, each corner has its own charme and atmosphere. All staff is very attentive and service oriented. From the first day on, they knew our names (all of them). Evi and Hanny (the resort manager) showed us again the planned rundown for our wedding day and we could finalize final details, such as exact location of the altar. The hotel itself let you calm down and relax right away. We have stayed two nights at the Aloon Aloon Villa and got then an upgrade to the villa with the pool towards the ocean, called Bhagavat Gita Oceanfront Suites. Both options are great. The bathroom can be compared with a spa as it is so spacious. The villas itself are very huge and provide a lot of privacy. In general you feel very private at TUGU and can spend the day without seeing lots of people. The wedding day itself was stunning and words cannot express what a great day it has been for us. Even in our dreams we could not have expected such a great setting, service and atmosphere. The day started with a relaxed, easy going photo shooting by a team of eight photo and video grapher from D Graphity. The team was doing a amazing job above what we ordered and paid them for. We have received great photos and an even better video. A huge thank you for that once again! After lunch, the make up and hair of the bride got done and also here the external hair and make up artist did an excellent job. After getting ready further photos got taken and then the ceremony took place at 5:00p.m, at the beach. The walkway for the bride was full of Frangipiani flowers. The dinner was chosen by as in form of a private lobster BBQ on the beach with hundreds of candles surrounding our table and a bonfire next to us. The food was great as well. All in all - Everything worked out perfectly and we could not have thought of a more relaxed and better way to start our future together! We spontanously decided to extend our stay for additional two nights and did a full day private snorkeling trip to the Gilis with the dragon boat instead of staying there. The snorkeling trip can be also definitely recommended! We are looking forward to come back in future!"

Heritage Suites: "What a surprise"

"We didn't know where we going to be taken with a bit of a ride to get here on some back streets. As son as walked through the door we were greeted with towels and drinks and felt very much at home. We were upgraded to a better room due to it being low season so very nice. Service was impeccable and the place was spotless. We loved having the pool to come back to and yes we did swim au natural the night the manger dared us to being not many people booked in. :) We also had cocktails this night as she was doing a training for the staff so a very nice evening. The food was awesome could not fault at all. we would totally recommend this place and would happily come back here."

Supanniga Cruise: "An Amazing Way to See Bangkok"

If you'd like to see Bangkok's river (Chao Praya) with a touch of class then this is the cruise for you. The Supanniga is a smaller yet more upmarket vessel. Excellent and friendly wait staff, and a delicious six course meal complimented by downtempo jazzy soundscape offers the classiest and most relaxing way to see a side of Bangkok you won't soon forget.

Tugu Bali: "Relaxation Therapy"

"This was our third visit to Tugu and it never fails to impress. The serene Balinese architecture and stunning gardens make this one of our favourite hotels. This is somewhere that you stay and feel that you are the only people there. The staff are excellent, there when you need them, yet allowing you the space to truly relax. The hotel offers a fantastic range of massage treatments and healthy yoga sessions if wanted, or just relax by the pool. Canggu itself has transformed over the last 2 years, with a huge range of fantastic restaurants nearby, yet it still retains the laid back feel that is missing in other parts of Bali. The surf break is awesome too, which is an added bonus."

Slow Villas and Spa: "Wonderful time"

We stayed more than one week at this amazing place and enjoyed every moment. The privilege to jump inside the pool from bedroom door is just fantastic. It was an unforgettable stay for us and if I could I would come back one day!

Chakrabongse Villas: "MAGIC"

"If you want to see one of the magical side of Bankok, in front of the famous Canal and famous city hot spots, you will find a secret garden with beautiful Villas: the Chakrabongse Villas. Still owned by a member of the Royal family, you can definitely meet elegance, peace, magic and luxury charme with a perfect service. Moreover, is not too expensive compared to other famous Hotel chains nearby.. i definitely recommend to choose it and to dine there with such an incredible view! I will come back for sure."

Sea Dance Resort: "Outstanding service, gorgeous resort."

"We have just spent 7 nights at the magical Seadance Resort and it was superb. We originally booked for 3 nights and fell in love with the place, so we decided to stay for longer. Even after a week, we didn't want to leave. A huge thank you to Poy, the lovely owner, Faith, Helen, Guy and all of the wonderful staff at Seadance for making our last week in Thailand so special. The staff are incredible, so helpful, so friendly and they are what truly makes this Resort stand out from anywhere else we have ever stayed. The accomodation is fantastic, we were lucky enough to stay in Villa 5. The views were beautiful and it was so private and peaceful. Seasalt Restaurant at Seadance is incredible, the food is first class, with a huge choice of Thai and western cuisines. The cocktail list is very extensive and they sure know how to make them. They also have a very impressive array of high quality gin, and thanks to Poy, we are now converts. The breakfast was really yummy, a perfect amount to choose from and they make the best cappuccinos we had in Thailand. The resort is only a 10 minute drive away from busy Chaweng beach, if you feel the need for nightlife and crowds. The big Buddha pier is only a short drive away and a 30 minute boat ride to Ko Phangan. We highly recommend Seadance and we can't wait to return. Thank you again to the beautiful staff, you guys are awesome!!"

Mie Cafe: "Best meal in Siam Reap"

Siv Pala is a Cambodian chef to watch out for. He trained in Switzerland and has added European technique to Khmer cooking that is fresh and innovative. We tried the highly rated, over rated, very formal Damnak lounge but it pales in comparison. We had both lunch and dinner here the same day because it was so good. We had the gourmet set menu. 5 courses for $24 US but brilliant dishes starting with a shrimp cold starter and the fresh fish soup, then two amazing entrees-a langoustine crepe and an oxtail stew. Both were subtle with rich texture and full of umami. The setting, too, is lovely. Outdoor patio, romantic, opposite of stuffy. Staff were always attentive and the chef, good-ooking per my wife, youngish man of impeccable manners greeted us after dinner. Best meal of our three day stay. Do not miss!

The Island Lodge: "A SMALL PARADIS"

It was the end of our trip and we did not have much time. Nevertheless, we wanted to see the Mekong Delta. After some Internet research, I wanted to come to this lodge. In addition, it was not too far from HCMC. They sent a car. When you arrive, you wonder where you are. And you discover the lodge: an incredible location along the Mekong (private jetty), an incredible design with beautiful objects everywhere. gorgeous room with a view ... wonderful, warm pool. Attentive staff. Kitchen (in Vietnamese or French choice) delicious. We did a fantastic treatment at Spa. There are lots of activities on offer. We opted for the tour of the island next to bicycle and boat. It was beautiful and enjoyable. Anyway, congratulations to Michel and Françoise have created this little corner of dreams where everything is perfect, for which we have only one regret: not to stay longer. Thank you all for having contributed to the excellence of our trip. Helene and Jean-Michel Verdon

Tandjung Sari: "12 Days at Tandjung"

Our stay was very close to perfect- we selected a garden villa as our home base for the family holiday. The staff at Tandjung were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Starting each day with a shower (in the private outside villa courtyard) then having breakfast on the beachfront was a daily highlight for me. The villa and the grounds and the facilities around the resort were immaculate and the security staff at both ends of the property added to a sense of exclusivity. And lastly, Tandjung is great value; a similar quality room at a Seminyak resort cost my cousin more than double the rate. We will come back to Tandjung Sari for sure.
