tugu bali: "Secret pearl"
"It was the second time in 3 years that we stayed in this lovely boutique hotel. The dedicated staff takes 24 hrs. care about you and you are not a ""number"" in this hotel. The food served is delicious and the atmosphere is relaxed. We will absolutely come back in this ""secret pearl"" when we will visit Bali again."Tugu Lombok: "Amazing holiday at Tugu!"
My boyfriend and I had an absolutely amazing time at the Tugu Hotel in Lombok, it is definitely the most relaxing, rejuvenating place either of us had ever been. The setting on the beach was beautiful both day and night, the accommodation was light, airy and beautifully clean and the service was fantastic. We found the staff always smiling, friendly and helpful and we even got a free upgrade while we were there simply because they had a better room available. The food was delicious, always fresh and a good mix of traditional and western food was available. We will absolutely be heading back to Tugu at some point (hopefully soon!), it really is an amazing place! Thank you to all the staff there who made our stay so wonderful.Babe: "Awesome Creative Fine Dining"
We visited lasted week, Had a really enjoyable experience with the amazing view of the sky line and the creative play on Japanese dishes.Sanak Retreat Bali: "Unique, peaceful and beautiful"
"Sanak is an oasis of peace, off the beaten track, between rice fields, with cooler temperatures than the rest of Bali but actually perfect and hot just a bit less humid and not boiling hot. The view over rice fields is amazing, we stayed in a bungalow - very comfortable and stylish. Good food, organic, catering for people with any special diet. No plastic or coca-cola, I loved it, lots of fresh herbal teas, great for people who are environmentally conscious, like nature and want to stay away from the crowds. Amazing massage, the best we had in Bali, especially the milder version of the Balinese massage was great. I recommend also a walk to the waterfalls, although the local guide was fussing over me as if I was to fall down from each bigger stone :) It was worth a little walk and there were no one else there. It was still raining at the time we were there (end of raining season) but mornings were sunny and good for activities. It looks beautiful in any weather here. Sanak supports preserving the local area and gives work to people in the village, I just love what they stand for. This is the best combination I have seen of eco-tourism and luxury. We will come back."Rachamankha: "A classy sanctuary"
"The Rachamankha gave us the chance to 'step off' from our busy work lives for 5 blissful nights. The setting is quintessentially boutique, with exquisite architecture and design, a chic pool area complete with cushions on lounge chairs, ambient al fresco dining and lots of special places to relax in solitude with a book or cocktail. We stayed in a garden courtyard room which had high ceilings and pared back decor with cool tile flooring and a separate bathroom. The breakfast a la carte options are numerous and tasty, although the quality of the restaurant cooked meals does not quite match the standard set by other aspects of the hotel. I would definitely stay there again. "Rachamankha: "Luxury retreat"
"A luxury hotel experience. Very helpful staff. They responded to every question or inquiry with great attention and desire to be as helpful as possible. Beautiful hotel. We had a standard room with a king sized bed, which was very nice and comfortable with a nice sized bathroom. Be sure to check out all the beautiful details of the grounds, pool, library, guest lounge area. We had an awesome couples Thai massage one evening that I'd highly recommend. There were a lot of mosquito's out in the evening, although i know they try to keep them away with coils, etc. I'm not sure if they spray for mosquitoes, if not, it could be worth considering. I would have liked to stay outside a bit more but mosquitoes love me so I had to retreat to our room. The restaurant and bar are lovely. The food was good but not amazing. With so much good food in Thailand, you might want to go elsewhere if you are only staying a couple nights. The location of the hotel in Chang Mai is okay but not the best for evening activities, which seemed to be more on the other side of town and a bit far to walk. Rather than walk late at night we would take a taxi or tuk tuk home in the evening. Thankfully the hotel provides cards with the name of the hotel so you can show those to the drivers because we never figured out the best way to pronounce the name of the hotel."Mie Cafe: "A wooden House restaurant"
We had dinner here and we ordered the Amok fish, fried vegetable beef, fried rice with Angkor Beer. This was a nice dinner. The staff here were friendly and the service was quickly. Highly recommend.Villa Song Saigon: "Superb Hotel"
"We spent a couple of nights here at the end of our trip and it really was excellent. The staff were first class and extremely helpful at all times. The free boat rides into central Saigon are really useful and allow you to explore the sites. Rooms are really well designed and very comfortable. Pool is lovely. Food was good but on the expensive side but all the restaurants in the area are quite dear as the hotel is in the expat area of town. Would highly recommend it though"Mathis Retreat: "Beautiful tranquil oasis in the rice fields"
"The Kenanga in Ubud is a perfect place to stay. We had a room overlooking the beautiful rice fields of the hotel. The gardens are very lovely and the infinity pool is awesome. Breakfast is served a la carte and is delicious (the fruit jam is very tasty...). To get to Ubud Centre there is a free shuttle every hour until 5pm. Afterwards you have to take a taxi for around 40000 Rupiah. An alternative (by daylight) is to walk through the lush rice fields and arrive in the city centre after 1 hour. Carine, the owner is extremely helpful and organized a small private trekking tour with a local guide for us to a remote waterfall. All in all we had a wonderful time in Kenanga and will be back for sure next time we are in Ubud."Tugu Lombok: "L’âme Indonésienne"
"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"
