Tugu Bali: "Very lovely"

Review by: SamanthaP36 | Source: Trip Advisor
"A true TUGU experience. Peaceful, good service. They have a lawn area with direct access to the beach.Turn left and the beach goes on forever and it's a clean beach too (a rarity in Indonesia). Anyway the room are beautiful, it has a lovely garden and as usual the hotel is full of antiques and artifacts. To note: The rooms upstairs have access via a spiral staircase, it quite steep. (this might be a consideration for some if you have mobility restrictions or don't like heights) The restaurant was good but pricey for the quality (I'm used to Jakarta price/quality ratio)"

Yandabo Home: "Wonderful hotel that tastes like home"

Review by: Marian B | Source: Trip Advisor
Coming from the busy and noisy Yangon, spending two days in Yandabo Home makes you feel like in heaven. Beautiful rooms with a crazy chic style; very few places like this in Myanmar. One of the best trained staff in the country. Totally worth going!!!

The Island Lodge: "Fantastic paradise getaway from the city"

Review by: Ben C | Source: Trip Advisor
"The Island Lodge is a superb, boutique hotel located in an idyllic setting in the Mekong Delta. The staff is so attentive, polite and cheerful. The cuisine is exemplary, both Vietnamese and French. We took all of our meals at the lodge and loved every single one. One of our favorites was the freshly baked bread served at each meal. We didn't take the chance to explore Unicorn Island; we just wanted to relax at the lodge and have no regrets. It was so peaceful, calm and relaxing there! We loved the swimming pool which looks out to the Mekong River. The attention to detail by the proprietors, Michel and Francoise, is evident throughout the lodge as their collection of artifacts, sculptures, art and decorations is tastefully placed throughout the property. We stayed for two nights with a 7 year old child and will definitely return! Highly recommended."

Supanniga Eating Room: "Excellent Local Cuisine"

Review by: Jason G | Source: Trip Advisor
Great restaurant offering local cuisine in a comfortable & stylish environment. Easy walk from several hotels. We arrived without a reservation & a table was quickly found for us despite it being busy. The service was good & fairly prompt. The menu has a nice variety of meat, fish & veg options. A great choice & good evening.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Amazing Experience on Peacock Safari"

Review by: Mara L | Source: Trip Advisor
Fantastic. Despite not seeing any leopards (which is very unlucky so we have heard) my family and I had a lovely time. The food was beyond delicious, the staff were so attentive (one staff member per guest) and while it was camping, the set up made it feel very luxurious. The 5am wake-ups were a challenge but were balanced by the yummy breakfast we received on return, and the fun of the safari. We stayed over NYE and the staff made sure to make it a special evening- celebrating a "Singapore" NYE with Moet at 9pm due to our early wake up the next morning. We were even treated to an amazing "leopard dance" by Silva. He was a staff member who is an ex dancer and it was phenomenal!

Hotel Tugu Bali: "Excellent property, very helpful staff"

Review by: Robert L | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed in a Rejang suite. The room was great, and the sunken bathtub + some candles made for nice, romantic evenings. The rest of the property was beautiful. The rooftop bar overlooking the ocean was a great place to wind down at the end of the day. The staff was awesome. They went above and beyond to make our vacation stress + hassle free."

Reverie Siam: "Lovely food and great prices"

Review by: Grace P | Source: Trip Advisor

Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful hotel"

Review by: JannineYost | Source: Trip Advisor
It's a bit of an odd drive to get here, out of main areas and thru village streets but well worth the drive. It's a very boutique hotel. No lifts and 3 floors. Beautiful wooden floorboards everywhere. Our reception greeting was friendly and very easy check in. We had to book 2 rooms (travelling with teens) and do wish we had upgraded at least our room to have a balcony. The windows on the 3rd floor are small but do open fully which is nice. The rooms are small but beautifully appointed. Everything has been finished to a very high standard. Lovely bathrooms and very comfortable bed. The outside restaurant/bar is a gorgeous area. Exactly what we expected and part of reason for our booking here. It's a beautiful spot on the banks of the river watching the sunset (or rise). The food and drinks are really good. The dinner menu isn't Vietnamese but after almost 3 weeks we didn't mind having some fusion food. Seafood was all beautiful. The staff are lovely. The pool area is nice, a large pool, very warm with seating around it. The pool is at the back of the hotel and has no bar or cafe attached to it. The gym is small with only 1 treadmill but it's a good quality one. The free mini bar is 2 beers 3 waters 1 juice and a soft drink. The coffee in the room is terrible, luckily we bought everything we need to make our own cafe sua da with us. The free boat into the city is great. We are doing the Cu Chi tunnels tour arriving by boat and the boat driver is able to pick us up from the hotel jetty (and drop us back here) saving us 45 min trip each way to and from the meeting point. Very happy with this hotel, definitely recommend it

Tugu Malang: "One night of beautiful comfort"

This hotel was comfortable in every aspect and staying beautiful while doing it. The service was nice but the main aspect I experienced was the truly magnificent architecture and decoration this hotel have. Keep it up 👍

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Paradise in Northern Kerala"

Review by: Pip450 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My partner and I stayed at Neeleshwar Hermitage for 4 nights in January. It is a beautiful resort made up of 18 cottages in a remote part of Northern Kerala. The setting is tranquil with the cottages dotted around over 3 acres amongst lush greenery and by a beautiful secluded beach. The cottages were beautifully appointed and modelled on traditional fisherman’s huts. I particularly liked the partially open roofed bathroom. We were welcomed warmly by the wonderful staff who made us feel relaxed and pampered throughout our whole stay. The food was a particular highlight with one restaurant on the beach serving fresh catch of the day seafood dishes and the other serving authentic Keralan and other Indian dishes (the menu changing daily). All dishes were superb. Some of the best food I’ve eaten in India. There is an Ayurvedic doctor on site and she gave us a free consultation about our health and which foods we should be eating and which to avoid as well as advice on exercise. We had a lovely massage there too. Neeleshwar Hermitage was the perfect place for us to relax with a book for three days by the stunning infinity pool overlooking the beach."
