Mie Cafe: "Wonderful experience!"

"A dinner in this restaurant was amazing! The food is interesting, very well presented, and creative! Clear that the chef knows what he is doing! It was a pleasure meeting him and have a little chat. Even the rain didn't ruin the experience, and may be made it even more special. Extremely recommended!"

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Book in for Lunch and tour"

"we came for the tour only (not hotel guests) but saw the sign for a well priced lunch in the dining room. At 65rbs is was fabulous. Setting, history and fusion of Asian and western flavours on the menu. An unexpected delight in hot weather tourism. ring prior as hear it is popular with cruise boat patrons."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Very lovely hideout"

Beautiful place - if you go there, you never want to leave.... amazing food, great yoga lessons, very friendly staff, excellent food, nice spa. Like Thailand was 30 years ago but better. If you want internet in your room, buy a prepaid card at the airport, wifi only in at the restaurant. Be aware of the monkeys!

Maison Polanka: "GREAT AMBIENCE, TASTY FOOD!"

Visited Maison Polanka a day after my birthday and I had nothing but a super pleasant experience. Surrounded by beautiful greenery and a nice, calming atmosphere, it helped me relax for a bit and forget city life. Tried their Beef Samosas and their expertly brewed coffee... Will I ever come again? DEFINITELY.

Tugu Bali: "Amazing hotel, local feel in a very touristy zone"

Loved this hotel. The location is great, across the lawn you've got the beach, the pool is lovely, set in a magical garden. The hotel food is fantastic, highly recommend you take a cooking class, I loved it and learnt a lot. Our room was so romantic, the "open air" bathroom was an unique experience, even during monsoon season. The hotel history and decor are stunning and the whole experience, great staff, was really worthwhile.

Manukan Island Resort: "Superb"

Amazing scenery, excellent beach, brilliantly designed tree houses, very good foods and well trained employees. Manukan island has the best beach in the area in terms of soil and snorkelling and this resort makes the experience even better one

Mudanwan Villa: "“ㄧ個令人非常放鬆，可以每天仰望藍天白雲、天馬行空、發呆的好地方”"

"二年多前因爲家裡發生ㄧ點令人傷心難過的事情，乾女兒推薦了我去那兒渡假散散心，果真在那兒住了幾天，有如來到香格里拉，與世隔絕的感覺，頓時也暫忘憂愁。 每年牡丹灣總會梢來訊息，送了優惠折價卷，提醒會員再去渡假（那感覺是提醒我們該回家了），牡丹灣Villa 真的讓人覺得，台灣真好，不出國也能像在國外渡假，ㄧ日五食，愛發呆、愛游泳、想騎腳踏車出遊或在圖書館看書或spa按摩⋯想怎樣就怎樣⋯就是這麼放鬆，這是我二度造訪 牡丹灣Villa ，我們全家出遊，看見大孩子們忘卻城市工作的煩惱，放鬆心情在那遊泳、發呆、吃吃喝喝，不自覺中意外的接到工作 cases ，那喜悅真是難以形容。 Stayed June 2016, traveled with family"

Talabgaon Castle: "Gorgeous Polo Palace"

A trip through Rajasthan palaces would be an elegant and interesting adventure. Talabgaon Palace, located between Jaipur and Ranthambore is a not-to-miss gem. The small village on the way to the polo estate is charming and pretty. Like the other palaces I've visited, out party was greeted with cool drinks and warm washcloths. We were lucky enough to get a tour of some of the rooms, all of which are beautifully appointed with antiques and original works of art. Every room is unique and very luxurious. On the grounds is a very large swimming pool with a pool house, large grassy areas for dining, and a very large polo field. The Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II have graced this swanky locale--for the polo and the luxury digs. We were treated a very delicious supper set up outside, just for us. It was the sort of thing you see in travel mags, but rarely does it feel like 'this is your palace' for as long as you are a guest. The manager Aditya Singh works very hard behind the scenes to provide you with a seamless maharajah-style experience.

Tugu Malang: "An utterly awesome delight!"

"I spent 2 nights at the Hotel Tugu Malang in late May. I readily admit that I am not accustomed to luxury, and I won’t say whether any of you who are would find the Hotel Tugu Malang to be so, but I was delighted by my experience at this hotel, which I found utterly awesome! The bowl of fresh, peelable fruit – replenished each day and complete with a finger bowl holding water and a freshly cut blossom -- was just one sign that I was in a very, very nice hotel. ☺ My room was lovely and was delightfully furnished. Hot water was plentiful and the water pressure was excellent; my mini-fridge was nicely stocked, as was the tray with an electric kettle and French press; there were even washclothes among the many toiletries in the bathroom, which had lots of counter space, a bath with shower, and a window (with blind and drapes) into the bedroom. And if my balcony was tiny, it was still large enough to offer a small seating area and lovely view over the hotel’s pool area. It wasn’t just the room that wowwed me: The daily high tea held an impressive range of treats served in a delightful setting. The hotel’s spa offered a free 15-minute introductory massage. The breakfast (included in my rate) was generous and delicious. The restaurant offered dinners in several different cuisines and even had a decent selection of wines (if at prices reflecting the rareness of wine in Java). The hotel holds some remarkable artifacts, which can be seen on a tour of the property. And last, but certainly not least, the staff provided exceptional service – kudos one and all! My only very small niggle: The pool is not well separated from the restaurant, so I felt simultaneously “on display” and disruptive when I took a dip while diners were enjoying their meals. Just a small thing...."

Hotel Tugu Malang: "Fantastic home away from home"

"Currently staying here with my family in executive suite for 5 nights. I usually wait awhile before doing reviews if at all, but I needed to do this. The hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Malang. Originally a colonial house that was renovated and expanded into the current 5 star hotel. Very centrally located in Malang. The decorations are very unique and truly a different feel with the various antiques and furnishings that have been collected by the owners over the years. Took a tour and hired a professional photographer to take pictures of us throughout the various spaces where the antiques are. Art, Ceramics, statues, ancient pottery, furniture, and much more. Staff are friendly and always very prompt and trying to help. My kids actually prefer to just stay in hotel rather than go out to see city and other attractions it’s so comfortable here! Rooms are clean and Well maintained. Spacious. Good mattress and linens etc. Well worth the stay and price is great for a true 5 Star hotel! Will stay here again no doubt."
