Tugu Lombok: "Beautiful Hotel Tugu Lombok where you can relax, destress and be pampered"

Hotel Tugu Lombok's hotel rooms are filled with amazing antiques, yet modern with a huge TV and free wifi. Our bathroom was indoor/outdoor and I must say it was a uniquely wonderful experience to take a shower outdoors in a mosaic tub. The open air restaurant serves delicious meals and overlooks the common pool and a view of the ocean. The 15 minute welcome massage was so wonderful that I booked a one hour massage. Along their beach Hotel Tugu has strategically placed double beds (yes beds) complete with sheets, thrown pillows and a food tray. The perfect spot to relax, have drinks, snacks, dinner and when it becomes dusk, candles are lit around the beds. It was so relaxing to lie back and hear the crash of the waves and enjoy star gazing. During my stay I booked a car tour of Lombok and I saw people and places that most tourists did not. If you are looking for a more in depth look of Lombok and its people you will not be disappointed in this tour. I was fortunate to have had my tour with Budi. His English is extremely good and he is a courteous and gracious guide. Hotel Tugu Lombok is what every vacation live up to.

Misool Eco Resort: "Holiday at Misool Eco Resort"

"I went to Misool Eco Resort again (5th time). The diving seems to be better every year. For the past 7 years fishing around the resort is not allowed anymore, so there is more fish every time. A few years ago i saw a shark every now and then. Now there are sharks on every dive. Saw mantas several times. This was the first time i was there in March/April and the visibility was very good. I found my stay here very relaxing, even with the 45 dives i did in two weeks. The weather: mainly sunny. I think it rained at night a few times. The restaurant serves excellent food, mainly Asian cuisine and they have good wines. The overall experience is excellent."

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Third visit to this oasis in the Kerala"

This is an eco hotel that doesn't stint on luxury. Just a dozen or so authentic Keralan bungalows in a coconut grove by the sea. Staff outnumber the guests and deliver first class unobtrusive service. Comfortable roomy beds with high quality bed linen. Exquisite food in both restaurants. Yards from the sea where dolphins swim and locals fish. All staff are dedicated to making sure you are happy with everything. Won't pick out any one as they all deserve a mention. Very good spa also. We will be back again next year!!

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Simply the best"

Dear SEEDS Team We were able to spend a wonderful evening together with the whole family. Everything was perfect: surroundings at the Inya lake, restaurant, decoration, ambience, service and of course food. Simply perfect. A pleasure in all areas. Very recommendable. We will go again....

Chakrabongse Villas: "An exceptional place"

Bangkok is a fantastic, bustling city but Chakrabongse is an oasis of calm, set between the Wat Pho temple and the river. About half a dozen rooms are set around a private garden, with a walk to breakfast, served in a beautiful building literally on top of the river, and providing the most wonderful views. The rooms are individual and beautiful, and Ms Atom's team provides superb attention to detail, service, and friendliness; a late check out, boat trip, and airport pick ups were all no problem. PS we also ate here one night and the food was superb and highly individual.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Well looked after"

Stayed in April. Our lodge was comfortable, food excellent and the staff and owner very friendly. We were well looked after. Highlights included the resident birdlife and the possibility of seeing the leopard who roams the area. Best of all, was the sunrise casting a pink glow over Fishtail mountain and the others in the Annapurna range. This only happened one of the mornings we were there, nevertheless it was awesome.

Hotel Tugu Bali: "A slice of Balinese paradise"

Bali is quickly being taken up by new large resorts and modern villas, they of course have their place and their charms. If however you are looking for a true slice of Balinese paradise look no further than Tugu in Canguu. An amazing stay in a truly beautiful hotel, authentic Balinese architecture, furniture, decorations and landscaping. Their breakfast menu was superb, we could not get through it all in the four days we were there. Their cocktail menu was fantastic and lounging by their pool was bliss. The location in the middle of up and coming Canguu area is excellent located for stopping off at some of the more quieter beaches and should you wish a more chilled beach club to have fun in, The Lawn is only a few minutes’ walk away. The staff, led by Ari and Jenny were some of the most genuine, friendly and attentive I have ever experienced. My family and I were so impressed. I couldn’t recommend this hotel any more - believe all the other five-star reviews before this one and trust the many others that will follow.

Maison Polanka: "Wow….Spectacular"

We stayed at the Maison Polanka with 2 families recently. The owner Kathy and her staff were outstanding. This place is basically 1 acre property with a 4 bedroom homestead on it as well as a 1 bedroom homestead. We were fortunate enough to have the run of the place for 4 nights which meant we had our own staff whenever we need them. Lovely place to stay, really enjoyed the tranquility of the property.

Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "A place to die for!"

"Marcus, I said that and more in your guest book. It's very difficult to put into words what an absolutely spectacular place to spend a few days. Would have preferred the six. Wonderful welcome from all. Tea with home baking on arrival is a very good start. Pampering at best. Nothing was any bother. We didn't feel as though staying at a hotel. I know we were lucky weather wise. Breakfast with that view, oh boy, plus homemade bread. Cannot go wrong. My wildlife pics are thanks to Hari rather than me. He has good eyesight. My fellow travelers have the same opinion. We are still swapping pics. I said I would be back and I will. Perhaps not with the same tour operator as, yes, itinerary has changed. Very many thanks to you and the boys. Also my cake and pressie"
