Talabgaon Castle: "A peaceful stay in a beautiful heritage property"
"This property is just fabulous. We were there for two nights and I must say we had a lovely time there. The place was so calm and the ambience was amazing.The food was delicios and the staff really courteous, always at your disposal to make sure you dont have any issues. Since it was my parents 25th Anniversary, tey happily arranged a cake and a beautiful table at the terrace so that we could welcome the occassion under the sky full of stars. I must salute the staff for the cleanliness they have maintained. And last bust not the least, the owner is really humble and polite. He too comes, and spends sometime with you and makes you feel at home. All in all, A must visit!!!"Muang La Lodge: "Da non perdere"
If you go in northern Laos you should definitely stop at the lodge. Rooms comfortable and spotless hospitality and impeccable service. Lovely pool ... turkish bath massage and two beautiful pools of thermal water from which to admire the view while sipping a delicious cocktail. Breakfast and dinner excellent. Delicious also picnic during a hike.Manukan Island Resort: "Superb"
Amazing scenery, excellent beach, brilliantly designed tree houses, very good foods and well trained employees. Manukan island has the best beach in the area in terms of soil and snorkelling and this resort makes the experience even better oneMisool Eco Resort: "Amazing stay in paradise"
"I have spent 9 days in the Misool Eco Resort in November 2106 and it was truly paradise. I have been to Raja Ampat before to resorts in the northern part, but this resort and diving are on a next level. The resort is great and very spacious compared to other resorts. The rooms and facilities are amazing, but what stands out is the staff and their commitment to make your holiday amazing. Yes, this resort is more expensive, but in my view worth it. The rooms, food and other facilities are super. The diving is next level, although norther Raja Ampat has also similar and amazing dive sites, the dive sites near this resort have much less people and most often you have dive sites just for your selves. Another big difference are the mantas, I have seen them in northern Raja Ampat and the Maldives, but here I saw almost always the larger oceanic mantas and they not only cam much closer, they were not only in the known cleaning station site, but we same the almost every day on other dives as well. Also, the muck ( diving is great, the amount of e.g. pygmy seahorses is amazing, etc. The dive guides and boat crew are super friendly and professional and actively search for what you want to see. My tip would be to try the new dive scooters and this was a lot of fun. Furthermore, their commitment to protect the reefs, fish, mantas and sharks is impressive. I would highly recommend to go to this resort if you like to fully relax and dive in paradise, thanks again to Sue, Marc and your entire staff for an amazing stay at your resort."Sandat Glamping Tents: "Fantastisches Hotel, tolles Design, super Service"
"Wir verbrachten auf unserer Reise in Indonesien vier Nächte im wunderbaren Sandat Glamping Tents. Der Aufenthalt war von vorne bis hinten hervorragend. Wir sind relativ spät (ca. 23 Uhr) am Hotel angekommen. Nach der ca. 1,5 stündigen Fahrt vom Flughafen und den letzten Meter auf etwas holprigen Straßen wurden wir vom Team sehr herzlich begrüßt (Tipp: Shuttle vom Hotel buchen! Wir haben das offizielle Taxi vom Flughafen genommen - am Schalter, der einem empfohlen wird - und mehr bezahlt als wir beim Hotel-Shuttle hätten. Die Preise auf der Flughafenhomepage sind nicht aktuell). Nach einer kurzen Führung durch das Hotel und unser Lumbung Legong konnte der Urlaub entspannt beginnen. Zimmer: Wir wohnten in einem Lumbung (einer traditionellen Reishütte) mit einem offenen Wohnzimmer und offenen Bad im EG und dem klimatisierten Schlafzimmer im OG. Alles ist sehr stylisch eingerichtet und sauber. Das Zimmer hat keinen Fernseher (wir haben ihn auch nicht vermisst). Insgesamt gibt es 8 Unterkünfte (5 Zelte mit eigenem Pool, 3 Lumbungs mit Gemeinschaftspool). Die fünf Zelte sind etwas versteckter. Unser Lumbung war auch etwas versteckter, die beiden weiteren liegen am Gemeinschaftspool. Am Pool gibt es (bei zweier Belegung der Lumbungs) immer genug Liegen - insgesamt 6 Stück. Lage und Anlage: Die Anlage liegt inmitten von Reisfeldern, was einen besonderen Charme hat. Man entkommt dem doch eher trubeligen Ubud und findet sich in einer tollen Umgebung wieder. In der Umgebung arbeiten die Reisbauern auf den Feldern. Morgens kann man an manchen Tagen die Gesänge (zum Gebet?) der Einheimischen hören, was wir im Positiven besonders fanden, da es beruhigend war. Das Hotel bietet einen regelmäßigen Shuttle nach Ubud mit sehr netten Fahrern an. Die Fahrt dauert ca. 10 Minuten. In der direkten Umgebung gibt es im Grunde nichts. Ein paar ganz kleine Läden von Einheimischen, die nur das Wesentlichste (kleine Snacks, Getränke) anbieten und das auch nicht mit Garantie Service: Alle Mitarbeiter sind super nett und versuchen alles möglich zu machen. Uns wurde immer weiter geholfen. Unsere Dusche leckte bei Anreise etwas. Nachdem wir Bescheid gaben, war das Problem nach 30 Minuten behoben. Toll! Gastronomie: Das Frühstück ist super. Es gibt leckeres Brot, Joghurt, tollen Kaffee, Süßgebäck (immer unterschiedlich), Ei in jeglichen Varianten und vieles mehr. Wir haben es sehr genossen im tollen Restaurant beim gemütlichen Frühstücken zu sitzen, welches es sogar bis 11:30 Uhr geht. Wir haben zudem zwei Mal abends im Restaurant gegessen. Alles von sehr guter Qualität, aber hochpreisig. An den restlichen Tagen haben die leckeren Warungs in Ubud besucht. Design: Das Sandat Glamping Tents verdient einen eigenen Punkt zum Design. Angefangen von der Architektur und den Materialien der Gebäude bis zu den Details auf den Zimmern ist alles sehr stylisch eingerichtet bzw. designt ohne unpraktisch zu sein. Das Highlight ist das Restaurant, welches eine sehr hohe, nahezu aus rein natürlichen Materialien errichtete offene Konstruktion ist. Auch das Innere hat absoluten Stil. Wir waren neben dem Gebäude selbst, sehr von dem 6-8 Meter langen Massivholztisch begeistert. Fazit: Sehr stylisches Hotel, welches ab der ersten Minute den Wohlfühlfaktor hat, welcher durch die tollen Mitarbeiter abgerundet wird. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert."Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Delicious and beautiful restaurant"
Food is amazing! It's a degustation menu with a lot of plates, each one more exquisitly prepared than the other. Particularly the roasted caramelized pork was unbeatable! The place is beatiful and service quite good. The wine options had good wines for reasonable prices. And the cost: 31 dollar per person! Unbelievable! DO NOT MISS IT !Mume: "Food is very delicious! I will visit again!"
Currently ranked #43 on the Asia Top 50 Restaurants, food at Mume is very delicious. The menu is ala carte, and the selections are short and easy to decide. The cooking is European-Asian fusion. Using a combination of Taiwanese ingredients and Nordic influences to deliver a modern, light cuisine. All the dishes I ordered were very good. I wish to order more, but I had a big lunch and dinner at Mume was early at 6pm. Great service. Will visit again. The restaurant is small. Please make reservation ahead.Tugu Lombok: "A wonderful place to spend our honeyroom"
I can't say enough about Hotel Tugu and its staff. The property is absolutely beautiful and the staff went out of their way to make our Honeymoon special. Everything — the rooms, the beach, the wonderful activities and spa — was fantastic. They pampered us for 5 days straight! I can't wait to go back.Maduzi Hotel: "Highly reccomand and great service"
"I stayed in Maduzi for 3days I’m satisfied with the services that they gave to us, the room, the food and assistance are great. The location of the hotel is at Schumvit soi16 , a few walks from there and you’ll reach the sky train easily. anyway I wanna say thank you for your service from Korea, hope that stay there soon Mr kim who loves BKK"Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful Hideaway"
