Montigo Resorts in Seminyak describes itself as a total lifestyle destination and they aim to deliver an individualized hospitality package that is without peer anywhere in the world.
We were certainly impressed by the level of service at this resort, though we’re still determining if it’s unmatched globally.
One thing everyone agrees on, however, is that the TIIGO restaurant here is very good and you can get pretty much any kind of food that you would like if you just ask.
What’s There For The Kids?
The Tilo Kids Club is their new offering for children and we confess to being very impressed by it.
It caters to all children over the age of 54 and includes baking lessons, art classes, card games and Lego-style building block activities!
Our kids found the face painting to be one of the most fun things they’d ever done at a resort.
