The resort set in a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of town. The grounds were beautiful garden. The room was vintage decorated, beautiful designed. Staff were very friendly.

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Beautiful hotel & restaurant"

Review by: Louise F | Source: Trip Advisor
"We went for lunch and spent a few hours at their beautiful terrace watching the lake. Prices for food are well worth, especially considering how beautiful and calm everything is. The place is a school for unfortunate and unprivileged youth who train to become chefs and hotel staff. Seems like a great project. If within your budget I'd definitely recommend staying a night or two at the hotel. Stayed October 2016"

The Apsara Rive Droite: "Excellent boutique hotel"

Review by: Teddy-at-large | Source: Trip Advisor
"Excellent choice for a quiet, rural experience. Nice garden with a good swimming pool. Large well designed rooms in rustic Lao-colonial way and with a large balcony/terrace. Service is great and personal. Breakfast is with fresh fruits, coffee, fresh juice, wonderful warm breads and croissants, and a choice of different eggs. Transport to the other side is quite easy. Free boat service for drop-off and pick-up thar worked flawlessly during our week. There is a bamboo-bridge a few hundred meters away (5000 Kip / 0.65 USD). You have to scale/climb a few flight of stairs that are a bit rickety. Free bicycles to cross on a small bridge a bit further away. Tuktuk to town is 50 KKip / 6 USD. Watch the monks alms ceremony by the temple a few hundred meters to the right from the reception ar 6:15 am. Almost no tourists, so respect this holy cermony with minimal intrusion. Take the road to the left where you reach a temple with a wonderful view over the river. Only problem we had was the WiFi, but we got a separate modem that worked really well."

Tugu Bali: "Authentic atmosphere & impeccable service"

Review by: zeyneperekli | Source: Trip Advisor
Hotel Tugu in Canggu, was by far the best hotel experience I've had in Bali. Its location, property (rooms, pool, seaside, etc), details, in room features, everything was exceptionally good. Not quite like the modern-designed contemporary hotels, more than that it has a unique authentic atmosphere but a world-class and warm service.

Hotel Tugu Malang: "A warm feeling of excellence in hospitality!"

Review by: Marion_vdB | Source: Trip Advisor
"Selamat datang, traveller - you can rest now after your long journey as a member of the family. Let us take care of all you might wish, and just relax! Built in 1992,this luxury boutique hotel offers the pleasure of very spacious rooms with extremely comfortable beds arranged as a big (colonial) house around a nice garden with pool. After afternoon tea with the sumptuous specialities of the kitchen on a nice colonial garden terrace just next to the busy square, we were led to explore the house full of antiquities and art collection. The presidential suite is worth a detour. Next to the restaurant there is a cosy smoker's room(well ventilated) to enjoy cocktails, wine, whiskey and other liquids you might have missed.. We had dinner at another place, but surely the restaurant food will be great - we could savour it the next morning with the huge choice of breakfast - European, American, Chinese and local... Lots of healthy options as well. As to the staff: English speaking, they are there should you have any questions or wishes, always friendly and helpful!! Worth the detour, even from Jakarta! Terimah kasih!"

Tugu Lombok: "A magical place"

Review by: trustme1 | Source: Trip Advisor
We stayed in Tugu for 5 days, enjoyed our rooms, the decor of the hotel, the amazing decor of the restaurants and bars, the Spa, the beautiful pool, the peace, the wonderful beach, the lovely complimentary tea time with scrumptious patisseries, the service, the smiles. Yes, we loved it and hope to come back again soon!!

Tandjung Sari: "Luxurious"

Review by: Bettyjane L | Source: tripadvisor.com
Unfortunately we only had one night here...it was so beautiful and authentic, the staff so friendly, perfect location and our room was a true haven of indulgence. The dancers, at the dinner show, were the best we saw and were truly amazing. Buffet dinner was good too.

Villa Mathis: "Our new Balinese secret hideaway"

Review by: vette10 | Source: Trip Advisor
We arrived in the middle of the night and what a pleasure it was after the long flight to see our driver patiently awaiting our arrival. It took about 20 minutes from the airport and when we entered our room we knew this was a special place! I immediately regretted booking for such a short stay. Our room (I think it was called The Bintan) was super spacious with an outdoor rainfall shower, soaking bath tub and a GIGANTIC wooden carved bed that is probably one of the sexiest I've ever seen. My 6 foot 4 husband said it was his "dream bed" LOL! We woke to a beautifully designed outdoor area filled with Balinese art and luxurious drapery and made us so happy to be away from the European winter! The breakfast was great with made to order eggs/omlettes and fresh pastries. My travel motto is "you get what you pay for" but Mathis Villas is in my travel experiences a rare exception because the cost was fantastic for what we received. In fact, I am writing this review from a highly rated and more expensive hotel in Ubud and mentioned to my husbsnd (on more than one occasion) that I wished we had stayed at Mathis...I'm aware there is also a Mathis Villa here in Ubud so the next time we're in Ubud we hope to give it a try. Keep up the good work and Im certain we will return!

Villa Mathis: "Petit paradis bien situé"

Review by: Olivier D | Source: Trip Advisor
"Super séjour à nouveau à la Villa Mathis. Charme, tranquillité, amabilité... nous avons le virus et revenons chaque année! Très bonne situation, en retrait de l'agitation des grands centres mais suffisamment prêt pour en profiter quand on veut en profiter."

Maison Polanka: "It’s even more beautiful the 2nd time around"

Review by: GalaxLee | Source: tripadvisor.com
I consider this my home in Siem Reap. Everything about this place is pure magic. From the whole ambiance and the garden, the rooms, the pool, and most of all the restaurant, everything is simply exquisite! The owner Nathalie is a sweetheart, her and her staff are one of the warmest people you will ever meet there in Siem Reap. They arrange trips for you and make sure you are taken cared of even if you are outside the premises. I love love love love Maison Polanka, I'm so grateful to have been there.
