Locavore: "A wonderful experience."

Review by: Brad P | Source: Trip Advisor
"Fantastic fine dinning in the heart of Ubud. The seven courses plus matching drinks were excellent and delicious, as was the pre dinner 'snacks'. The highlights for me were 'into the sawah' and 'bubur sumsum'. The service was outstanding with each dish and drink fully explained by the waitress. My partner and I left full and very satisfied. The experience is not cheap by any means but certainly worth treating yourself when in Ubud or Bali."

Rachamankha: "a superb accommodation in CM"

Review by: mametank0129 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We held our wedding and stayed at this beautiful property last month. We have booked two suite rooms facing the library garden (if you know where the hidden library is) and a few superior rooms. Our family and guests loved the peaceful and oriental ambience of the property. Located in the old city, waling distance to Wat Pra Singh, Oasis Spa Lanna and Sunday night market. only 10-15mins drive to the airport. If you would like to stay away heavy touristy area and would like to enjoy the resort indulgence and retreat, this could be an option. If anyone is also considering a destination wedding at non-beach location in Thailand, highly recommended!! The hotel does not offer a package but will customise according to your needs and preference. We would like to thank you for Rachamankha to have made our big day successful and memorable! We would love to visit and stay on our anniversary day again! Please note that the hotel does not allow a child under 12 years though. Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

Reverie Siam: "2nd Fabulous Stay"

Review by: BooBear34 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"I had my 2nd fabulous stay at Reverie Siam, in as many months, and cannot add anything that has not already been said in the other reviews, except for the fact that everything was consistently great for my 2nd stay as for my 1st (see my 1st review) (…) The resort is definitely a gem, a serene & luxurious oasis, that is equally perfect for couples or singles looking for a relaxing, or romantic get-away. (...) The background music & nightly live music adds an intimate enjoyment while enjoying a refreshing cocktail or a glass (or 2!) of wine. All of these things, and the too-many-special-added-touches to mention, creates a wonderful ambience of peace, serenity, intimacy, romance, and enjoyment for discerning couples & singles. I cannot recommend this resort enough, but on the other hand, I would like to keep it my secret! I am already planning my 3rd stay soon at my home-away-from-home!"

Cuca: "Wonderful experience"

Review by: Rychki | Source: Trip Advisor
"I was in Jimbaran for a wedding so googled best place to eat - Cuca popped up! The reviews were not wrong. I had the degustation like recommended, this consisted of baked scallop, cuban corn, roasted pork buns, mushroom fritters, smoked butterfish, bbq octopus, crispy fried chicken and bali breakfast for dessert. The portions were perfect, I wasn't starving when I got there but I left content, not stuffed. My fave dishes were the scallop, pork bun, butterfish and the dessert which is surprising as I'm not usually one for fruit based desserts. The presentation was beautiful, the setting was amazing (three choices - out in the garden with the coconut trees, in the private dining area or in front of the chefs). My waitress was very knowledgable and very attentive. The dishes came out in perfect timing, not letting me sit there for ages but also gave me decent room in-between courses. It's pricy for Bali but what you get - you'd be paying double or going towards triple that in Australia. The degustation also included and alcoholic digestive drink aswell. Was a very special experience and one of my best dinners in Bali over 4 trips to the island to date."

Dewakan: "A culinary gem"

Review by: LLG2802 | Source: Trip Advisor
Heard about this place from friends n social media so decided to give it a try. Wow! Love love love. From the moment we walked in until we walked out, the experience was memorable. Food was excellent n service was top notch. Only setback is the distance. Truly a culinary gem.

Heritage Suites: "Fantastic hotel with wonder staff"

Review by: Sue S | Source: Trip Advisor
"We cannot praise this beautiful hotel enough. We were there celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the hotel gave us a lovely bottle of prosecco and flowers. They also upgraded us to a lovely bungalow, which was amazing. The staff were so attentive always opening doors for us, bringing out an umbrella when we get out the taxi in the rain; it made us feel very spoilt. It was a little way from the main area for eating in the evenings, around Pub Street, but a tuk tuk was very cheap at only $3. If you want to stay in a boutique hotel with the very personal touch then this is a definite."
