Villa Inle Boutique Resort

“fabulous villa, amazing location, amazing staff. Overall a great experience. The restaurant is also very good.”

“The bungalows are very stylish, spacious and come with stunning views. The surroundings (pool, garden, lakefront) are immaculately well maintained. Breakfast was outstanding. Hotel staff was very welcoming and helpful in every regard. I was a little reluctant before our stay because of some negative guest comments: “feeling trapped in a place where everything is charged for” “overstate exchange rate on payments”.. I cannot endorse those negative opinions. As per December 2019 the facts are as follows: + There is a free shuttle bus running 3 times in the afternoon/evening to and from the resort to the next town ..so if you want to dine-out..no problem just take the free shuttle. + Beverages in the mini bar and light snacks were free. There are complimentary fruits every day. + Prices in the restaurant are up-market..it’s a resort. We found 6 USD for a cocktails ( minus 25% during Happy Hour) a reasonable price for this place. + 10 USD for 2 people for a scenic 1 hour boat ride on the lake ...was well worth it. + One comment questioned the exchange rate applied on the bills. We payed the exact amount according to booking.com per credit card in USD (no surcharge for credit card payment on the room rate). On other other credit card payments they charge 3 percent..but you can always pay cash to avoid the surcharge. And the exchange rate they applied on payments in MMK was actually better than the market rate at the time of our stay. + The charge for the airport transfer was 48USD for 2 people (including a scenic boat ride to the hotel). If you find that to expensive you can take a taxi from the airport for 40.000 MMK. We stayed at the resort during Christmas holidays and we enjoyed every minute there !”

“Surpassed all expectations. Arriving by boat you turn off the main lake, pass through peaceful hydroponic tomato farms and then through a gorgeous private lily pond to a jetty where you are greeted by staff, a refreshing drink and chilled towels. Our villa overlooked the lake and although it was a little cloudy (end of rainy season) we still got to see the sunset from our private terrace. The villa was very spacious, very quiet, very romantic and relaxing. It even came with a very generous sized free mini bar! I wish we could have stayed a full week!”

“I loved everything about this place. Boutique, beautiful location, incredible swimming pool, views on the lake side and privacy were amazing and the backdrop to the mountains was breathtaking. Take the boat ride to the property when they offer you the airport transfer - so worth it! Do a the half day private boat tour for about 35USD - he takes you anywhere and everywhere. Will be coming back to discover more and get away from it all!”
