“It was my first time at Inle Lake and I selected to stay here because my Myanmar friend used to talk about it as the resort also runs a non-profit organisation called ‘Inle Heritage’, so I think there is a good sign of people’s minds here.
The location is in the beginning of Inle Lake, so very peaceful. You have to take a long-tail boat farther to explore the lake. The architecture is in local style and each unit is large, so you definitely have plenty of space to enjoy, esp. when you come in a group.
They have souvenir shop which sells local products and books. I was eager how those products are made and they toured me around a little area where they showed how local people live and products they make for a living. Quite interesting.
The room is beautiful and you can see the sunset from your room. Morning time is SUPER calm. You will get recharged here for sure.
The best thing must be FOOD. The chefs cook not only local Inle or Myanmar food, but also international menus / European menus and they did a great job. I personally like the baguette served hot for every meal. Also, tomatoes here are very fresh. I saw them planting on a floating garden around the lake.
Other facilities like swimming pool, lobby, communal spaces are big. There are recreational areas around the resort.
Staff members are caring. They accompany you for whatever you want. With the smile on their faces, they are genuinely generous. I’ve heard many of them working here for 15-20 years.
Last, they have their own jetty in which you board the long-tail boat to anywhere in the lake. The jetty is well-designed.
I am considering revisiting this resort again with family in the wintertime.”
