Tugu Lombok: "Never been anywhere like this before"
My wife and I loved it. It was like being welcomed back to the family home that I never grew up in. The delicious food, the quiet pools, the sunrise over the beach. I write from Villa 2 dreading having to check out in 4 hours. We spent three beautiful nights here. Our daughter was treated like royalty, given a crown and sceptre made from leaves. The pools with green tiles are beautiful and luxurious and as we floated together in the tranquil surroundings all thoughts about the rest of the world disappeared. We ate mahi mahi and lobster on a bamboo bed lit by candles and decorated with ketupat. If you can come here, please do. You will remember it forever.4 rivers: "Unique Experience"
"Had a really amazing and unique stay in this floating hotel. The hotel is a 30 minute boat ride from the road and so is very isolated and with only 12 Tents for guests it is very peaceful. A place to slow down and contemplate the quieter life. "MesaStila: "Relaxing getaway"
Beautiful place just like the photos. The rooms are nice, clean, in the middle of nature. There are a lot of activities to do in house from coffee plantation tour to yoga in the morning. The staffs are nice and made the experience exceptional, especially our coffee tour guide.What can be improved is perhaps food; it is not that it sucks but rather for such a nice resort we expected more. Wine by the glass at the restaurant wasn't great either and overall wine prices / corkage price are high. However I think the overall experience is great. Very relaxing. Would come back.Pindaya Farm House: "Relaxation"
Withing easy reach of the Pindaya shrine, this modern farmhouse in a traditional style is a place of calm relaxation, surrounded by pretty countryside, and lovely views from the house. Really nice welcome, excellent food, great room. Loved watching the sunset, and the morning (we tried doing watercolours). Bicycle rides provided.Tugu Malang: "Magic!"
Everything is excellent: staff, the restaurant (great menu) , rooms, afternoon tea, the decors, ... The staff will give you all sort of info and great advice. Don't forget to visit the Bakery next door: Roti Tugu. Highly recommended! One tip: book your table for dinner.Cabochon Hotel & Residence: "Fantastic!!!"
The atmosphere was fantastic!! The staffs were very professional and nice. I loved the hotel so much I took so many pictures inside the building; the library space, the hallway, our rooms and the bathroom, and the view from our room!! I absolutely loved the coconut juice served right off a young coconut at check-in!!! We should've stayed at this hotel longer instead of a few nights at other hotels!Tugu Bali: "Most romantic stay ever"
This hotel soothes and satisfies every sense. The breeze flowing through the mostly open air lobby (if you can call this beautiful, former Palace of Harmony a "lobby!") The air lightly scented with jasmine and other growing flowers. The very softly playing gamelon music. The ocean views and sound of waves. The partially open-air stone bathtub and shower with candles and incense. The wonderful food. Enchanting and serene. And if you want to be entertained, head to the beach, which is known for its surfing.MesaStila: "One night stay, beautiful srroundings, will return"
"The resort is set in beautifully landscaped grounds with views of volcanoes in every direction. They also have a small coffee plantation onsite and the coffee itself is only available in the hotel. Rooms were huge and nicely fitted out. Would loved to have stayed longer, but was following a tight itinerary through central and eastern Java. Will return for sure. "Cuca: "Best meal in Bali"
Cuca really stood out for me, personally the best dining experience I've had in Bali. Creative, modern twist to some classic dishes and unusual (in a good way) food combinations - for example ceviche with watermelon ice!! It's also very well priced and service was examplary. The dish that stood out for me was the smoked butterfish (presented as a rose as per attached photo). Stop reading, go try itInle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Lovely hotel and fantastic young staff"
You would be surprised to find that this a training school for young people, funded by the owner of the other luxury hotel Inle Princess Resort. The hotel is nicely appointed and built as stilt houses on water. There are only a few rooms so it is very private and exclusive. The young staff are well trained and helpful so service is on par with any luxury hotel. Food is great. Highlight of the day for us was having a beer at the bar and watched the sun set. Out of this world.
