tugu bali: "As Great As They Say It Is"
"Thanks to TA reviews we spent a day here that was unforgettable. Surrounded by the din of this busy area, it is an oasis of serenity and extraordinary hospitality of the staff. Get up at dawn and hear the birds on the property. It is a museum of artifacts- you need go nowhere else on Bali. We stayed in Rejang Suite with outdoor tin tub, view of water. A long way from USA but nothing like this in North America. We were given gifts when we left that were handmade. Amazing. "David’s Kitchen: "Great food and ambiance"
My husband and I visited David's Kitchen a few days ago with our 9 month old son and we were extremely surprised by the great food and beautifully designed restaurant. Service was impeccable and the staff was very kind towards our baby. We also thought the price was very reasonable considering the great quality of the food. The location was also great and the venue was beautiful. We couldn't recommend it enough.Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "A really classy first-rate camping safari"
"We stayed in the only air conditioned tent and with it's ensuite bathroom and running water was the ultimate luxury. The things that made this safari were the staff (wonderfully expert and hospitable), the excellent Sri Lankan food and - oh yes - the wildlife spotting! Just be aware that unlike African safaris we have been on, this camp is in a lovely spot but outside the reserve as camps are not allowed inside."Muang La Lodge: "Séjour enchanteur"
In perfect harmony with the environment, immersed in a lush stayed 2 days in this charming resort in discreet luxury, where everything is done for the welfare of visitors. Much attention is paid to details that make all the difference. A delight.Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Annual pilgramage"
"At least once a year we make our way here. We do that because the service is impeccable (no hovering but everything appears exactly when you need it). The food is inventive yet grounded. (Yes, there are things you might call ""molecular"" but they don't abuse it or make it silly) It reflects local culture in interesting ways. (Every year they introduce me to something in Thai cuisine I was completely unaware of. This always results in my seeking it out in street carts or local restaurants later. Khao Soi, Khao Chai. Moo Palo). The win list is brillliant. This is not cheap ( by Thai standards), but would stand up to any NY, London or Singapore 5 start. Do NOT miss this. And stick your neck out if they have a la carte (they didn't this trip - it was a wonderful fixed menu). For example. Pork Blood Chocolate pudding. Sounds scary. It's heavenly. You only live once and that should be well fed."Inle Princess Resort: "Peaceful easy feeling"
Lovely hotel. Very peaceful, all boat stop their engines as they approach the hotel and traditionally paddle in, keeping the resort very quiet. The staff is excellent and were able to arrange our day excursions very efficiently. Rooms were very comfortable and we were treated to complimentary mini bar beverages (sodas and beers). Would love to stay here again!Tugu Malang: "Warm friendly and so much Character"
"From the moment we arrived ,we were greeted with the most warmest of smiles. It didn't take long before the staff greeted us by our Christian names. Our room was beautiful and on the bed a welcome post card, a nice touch. Everything about this hotel is amazing, the service the cleanliness, the amenities , and the spa was divine. We took an organised tour through the hotel as it is very much like a museum. So much art and wood carvings, the walk down ""The Love Avenue"" towards the Sahara room was simply beautiful. The food in the Resturant, you just cannot fault, 5 star all the way. Afternoon tea is provided each afternoon with some traditional Javanese sweets. We had booked for 2 nights only but extended another night , just really couldn't leave. If I could give this place 6 star, I would. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our stay in Malang very enjoyable. "Muang La Lodge: "A little piece of paradise"
"Great place - pure luxury a couple of hundred kilometers north of Luang Prabang. The manager could not have done more to make us comfortable - the food is excellent - and if you need more then they can deal with that (if younger them know). It's not cheap - by Lsos standards - but compares very well with other luxury hotels. Breakfast was brilliant - for the Pain au Chocolat they must flythe flour in from France and have a real French oven. Go for it - you deserve it Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Sanak Retreat Bali: "Mountains and Rice Fields"
"Hotel 4 in stunning location 500 metres above sea level. I love it up here. Perhaps not really for beach lovers, but the infinity pool is fabulous with views across rice fields extending down the valley. Individual traditional wood cabin accommodation with huge and very comfortable bed. Spotless modern bathroom, wonderful private veranda with mountain views. Superb restaurant with elevated terrace and views serving Balinese cuisine with a french twist. My rare steak was to die for. Easy access to stunning trekking to waterfalls through beautiful jungle booked in advance or through the hotel. This is a proper flavour of the beautiful island of Bali. FANTASTIC! "Tugu Lombok: "A cut above the rest, unique, ultimately relaxing, a 5 star hideaway"
You won't find anywhere quite like it. Private beach, amazing breakfast, dinner - try the rendang and a cocktail before of course. There are no intrusive package deal staff insisting you plan your itinerary for the whole stay or any set times to do anything in fact which is fantastic and makes you relax immediately. The handpicked artifacts and unique design of the hotel make you feel like you're staying in a very cool uncle's private home rather than a resort. The staff are friendly and respectful. If you are lucky enough to be looked after by Ibu Evi you're sure to have a fabulous stay.
