"This place in remote Hsi-Paw was one of the highlights of our trip to Myanmar. Only gripe: not staying longer.
Attentive staff and beautiful site. Each bungalow has a lovely seating area looking out at the river. Just gorgeous.
Good value for money.
Be aware that your driver needs to take dirt roads to get there, it is out by itself and a tiny ways away from town"
"Good property, quite new, but they need to put night blinds/shades as in the night light seeps in through the curtains and can interrupt sleep. Other than that it's a good property, nice service and no other issues."

Le service est impeccable.

Nous recommandons vivement d'aller séjourner dans cet hôtel au lac Inle."
