Babe: "A dinner to remember, but you want to get ready for the damage (the bill)"
"We've spent just two days in KL and this restaurant has become one of the most memorable experience for us. The view was unbelievable and we were lucky enough to get a ""front row"". The personnel is just beyond expectations - polite, classy, service hearts indeed. The chef is just fantastic, he presented his own quisine: zapas - japanese sushi. His dishes are like a symphony - he took us from literally a splash in a mouth, to intense flavors and then experimental ice cream dish...and the dessert...we've ordered french fries with truffle on top of the offered set. We also loved the selection of sake, absolutely loved it. Yes, we paid quite a big bill, but it was worth it! Also, if you a celebrating an anniverary - go ahead, surprise your significant other. A show at a table next to us left me speachless...)"Villa Mathis: "Contents"
Excellent Hosts (Frederick and Vivi are engaging, friendly, volunteers and make it very personal stay) - Very nice hotel: modern and local - good food: French chef with original local specialties - Good atmosphere! Thank you :)Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "Luxury eco resort"
I stayed at this lodge and loved it. The whole set up is fantastic from the staff, the food and the views. I truly enjoyed the kind hospitality of the owner. He is a very warm host. The food is organic and out of this world. Will definitely return.Misool Eco Resort: "Simply splendid"
Torn as to whether to share info about this place, or keep it a secret. Stayed here in April-2014 with my partner, in water cottage number 5. The location is spectacular and the resort is just lovely. Decent food (excellent wines), high end facilities, and wonderful/friendly staff. It is truly impressive to see what the owners have accomplished here, up to and including the engagement of local stakeholders/residences to make this place part of the local community. Oh, and the diving is truly high-end... Diving is second-best ever, following Sipadan, but all in, this place was a notch above. This, and Auberge du Manoir in Chamonix France, are the only places I/we intend to revisit. Congratulations to the owners, on an impressive undertaking.Tugu Malang: "Superb hotel in every way"
"This city-centre hotel is a complete gem. Beautifully designed around 1990 by a wealthy antiques enthusiast, this is a place with very high standards of staff service and enthusiasm. It is a treasure-trove of fascinating period rooms and spaces, crammed with wonderful artefacts of various periods, which the staff are very eager to take you round and explain. The bedrooms are very well thought out to a high spec, and with good wifi. The pool is a very good size, and beautifully lit at night. The breakfasts are of utter blow-out proportions, with great menu choices, though do allow plenty of time as each person's is individually prepared. You get a lovely complimentary afternoon Indonesian 'high tea' on the terrace. The bar is like a connoisseur's wine cellar. And don't forget the in-house bakery, with breads and cakes of the highest quality open till 11pm. If you take the guided tour, the hotel staff will take you round the top-end luxury suites (if not occupied), even though these are probably beyond the wallets of ordinary mortals. Hard to fault in any way. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Reverie Siam: "Perfect Hotel in Pai"
"This hotel is very nice and charming. We stayed on a villa. The room is quite big with spacious bathroom with jacuzzi inside. You have a very nice garden view from your jacuzzi tub. It's like an open-air bathroom but closed with glass window. Very comfortable bed and day bed. You have your own balcony with private back yard. It's fantastic! You have a very generous breakfast here: 1 main dish, 1 sweet dish and 2 beverages. I Iove the decoration of every corner of the hotel. Staffs here are very polite and friendly. They are very well trained! Big thanks to the management team and all staffs. Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"Jings Residence: "Just perfect"
This place is totally overwhelming... You must stay at least one night if you have the opportunity to do so. So quiet, so gentle. You will certainly remember your stay in the Jing's Residence. I have been staying twice already and will certainly come back, even I do know really well Pingyao, but just to rest in the Jing's Residence.Tugu Malang: "Geweldig hotel"
"Wat een prachtig sfeervol hotel met veel antieke beelden en meubelen. Is eigenlijk ook soort museum. Heerlijk gegeten in 't restaurant aan het zwembad met tropische beplanting. Grote sfeervolle kamer, koloniale stijl. Heerlijke massage gehad. Goed gelegen."Tugu Bali: "Amazing service"
"We have chosen this hotel to start our 10 days Bali tour moving from West, to Ubud and ending by Candidasa. Fantastic boutique hotel, wooden construction and local spirit. Everything is warm and easy. In a private garden, you may choose pool house or ""Rejang Suite"" (such as we did). Food and service are just great. Our only one unhappiness was the environment, with a dirty beach (we'be been told that it is normal during this period). But what an amazing sunset !!! Some local shops (cloths and vegan restaurant) are only 15mn by walk or 2-5mn by scooter. We shall definitely return during our next trip. Enjoy "Cuca: "Wow, wow and wow"
This is an amazing restaurant. The location, the atmosphere, the simple yet classy architecture and the wonderful knowledgeable staff. The food is to die for and Chef Kevin Churkas has assembled a classy team in the kitchen to deliver outstanding food. This restaurant will stay in the memory bank for a very long time.
