SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "A great restaurant by the Inya Lake. Owner Lucia is a great host and fine dining expert."

Review by: BrianJay2014 | Source: TRip Advisor
Watch the Inya Lake sunset over drinks and fine dining later. Romantic setting with World Class Chef cuisine indoor or outdoor by the lawn & garden.

Locavore: "Simply amazing."

Review by: KatInShanghai | Source: Trip Advisor
We made a specific trip to Locavore after being recommended by a few friends to make sure to visit. We had the set 7 courses but you get even more than is listed on the menu! Each course had an ingredient we had not heard or tasted before, which made the experience even more special. Each course was mind blowing. Food, staff and service was amazing. Would definitely visit again! Make sure to book in advance!

David’s Kitchen: "Fantastic"

Review by: ferrante51 | Source: Trip Advisor
This is by far the best dining experience I've ever had. David greets you at the door and visits your table during the dinner experience to make sure everything is well. I took my girlfriend for a date night here and everything went very well. They even presented her with a rose on my behalf at the end of the night! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Tugu Lombok: "Over any expectations – just a dream place!"

Review by: Kathy-Red | Source: Trip Advisor
"We have spent the greatest six days at Tugu Lombok in the end of May/beginning of June 2016 to celebrate our wedding at Sire Beach. Already before being there, we could feel the warm and personalized service of the team of Tugu Lombok, which helped us to organize the complete wedding arrangements ahead, including legal steps. There was nothing we could not have asked for. Thanks Evi and Hanny for showing so much affort and passion in helping us celebrating the best day of our life! Once we finally arrived at our wedding location, we were stunned by the unique setting of this great hotel. No matter where you look, each corner has its own charme and atmosphere. All staff is very attentive and service oriented. From the first day on, they knew our names (all of them). Evi and Hanny (the resort manager) showed us again the planned rundown for our wedding day and we could finalize final details, such as exact location of the altar. The hotel itself let you calm down and relax right away. We have stayed two nights at the Aloon Aloon Villa and got then an upgrade to the villa with the pool towards the ocean, called Bhagavat Gita Oceanfront Suites. Both options are great. The bathroom can be compared with a spa as it is so spacious. The villas itself are very huge and provide a lot of privacy. In general you feel very private at TUGU and can spend the day without seeing lots of people. The wedding day itself was stunning and words cannot express what a great day it has been for us. Even in our dreams we could not have expected such a great setting, service and atmosphere. The day started with a relaxed, easy going photo shooting by a team of eight photo and video grapher from D Graphity. The team was doing a amazing job above what we ordered and paid them for. We have received great photos and an even better video. A huge thank you for that once again! After lunch, the make up and hair of the bride got done and also here the external hair and make up artist did an excellent job. After getting ready further photos got taken and then the ceremony took place at 5:00p.m, at the beach. The walkway for the bride was full of Frangipiani flowers. The dinner was chosen by as in form of a private lobster BBQ on the beach with hundreds of candles surrounding our table and a bonfire next to us. The food was great as well. All in all - Everything worked out perfectly and we could not have thought of a more relaxed and better way to start our future together! We spontanously decided to extend our stay for additional two nights and did a full day private snorkeling trip to the Gilis with the dragon boat instead of staying there. The snorkeling trip can be also definitely recommended! We are looking forward to come back in future!"

Reverie Siam: "Amazing!"

Review by: rogerandersonuk | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We stayed at this hotel on our Honeymoon in September 2014. I would write a long review about how good this hotel was but you will see there are countless others already! All I will say is our stay here was amazing, from the fantastic villa to the brilliant breakfast, great pool, delicious evening menu, lovely drinks and even great entertainment. 100% recommended"

Maduzi Hotel: "Best small hotel in Bangkok"

Review by: Scott G | Source: Trip Advisor
"I visit Bangkok 8 - 10 times per year on business, and have stayed in most of the CBD hotels over the years. I am also in the hotel business, so I tend to be quite picky about room design, service, and F&B.. This hotel has it all: Great location 5 minute walk to both BTS and MRT, extra large well-designed room with separate entry foyer for privacy, large bathroom with big shower and jacuzzi tub, and walk in wardrobe. Original paintings and antique carpets for a decorative touch, Bose sound system for music or movies, in room espresso maker, and free mini-bar for snacks and refreshments. Common areas include a beautifully appointed living room which is the perfect spot for relaxing with a book - or meeting with VIP clients. The restaurant provides semi-private dining areas, separated by bookshelves stocked with books on design, culture, and history. Best hotel breakfast in the city - fully a la cart menu features a great selection of dishes from black truffle quiche to Japanese confit of rainbow trout to home made granola and yoghurt with goji berry sauce - served until 2:00 pm. Twenty-four hour room service menu is good quality and fairly priced. The highly efficient staff work well as a team (the sales and marketing manager served my breakfast twice) and are super friendly. Special mention to Khun Poom who seems to be everywhere at once and is a master at arranging ground transport or fulfilling other special requests. Staff English proficiency is substantially better than most hotels in Bangkok. Complimentary early check-in or late check-out upon request, a very competitive room rate, and perks for direct booking / returning guests - no other hotel in the city comes close in terms of value, ambiance, service, and location. Stayed January 2017, traveled on business"

Tugu Bali: "Best man at a wedding"

Review by: Ryan B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Fantastic hotel, very well run and beautiful. Grounds were so well kept. Would highly recommend for both a short and longer stay. The food was very good. Beach goes on for miles. Hotel taxi transfers to other bars/restaurants and beaches for free. "

Muang La Lodge: "Traumhafte Lodge in wunderbarer Umgebung"

Review by: Volker S | Source: Trip Advisor
"Unfortunately, only two nights we spent in this oasis of peace and tranquility. Everything was perfect, the room, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the friendliness of the staff. A trip into the mountains by jeep turned into an adventure, since due to the heavy rain in the mud despite snow chains we !! stuck. A walk and a replacement vehicle then have "liberated" us after 3 hours. After that we could relax in the hot baths and then enjoy a delicious dinner. The best hotel on the whole trip! "

Manda De Laos: "Great food and setting"

My wife and I visited the restaurant and enjoyed a really nice meal. The Lilly Pond is beautiful and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely return.

Villa Song Saigon: "A serene and lovely start to our holiday"

Review by: Joolsmd | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 3 nights at the beginning of our stay here. Its been said before but this place really does treat you like royalty. We arrived, tired and sticky from two very long flights, and were checked in quickly while sipping cold watermelon juice. Our luggage was whisked upstairs then so were we. We had a lovely large room with a veranda and a view of the Mekong. The first afternoon was spent by the pool, and we even had impeccable service there! We had breakfast included, and could eat as much as we wanted from the menu. They have an excellent selection of both western and Vietnamese breakfasts, so we sampled several during our stay. All delicious. We also appreciated the cocktail happy hour, as well as the free mini bar in the room. It was warm enough during our stay to eat and drink outside, but I noticed an interior dining space if required. The best thing is the boat shuttle service, which handily drops you down town and picks you up, all with no charge. This is an excellent feature as the hotel is a bit out of the main city area. The room was large, clean, and roomy, and the bathroom was well stocked with toiletries and towels. The staff were all lovely, and we even had the manager checking we were happy at one point. It really seemed nothing was too much trouble. It was lovely to just relax without worrying about anything. Highly recommended! Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"
