This place is a treat. After the long boat journey from Sittwe, you land at the resort’s private pier to be met by smiling staff offering scented towels. A short walk past lily ponds brings you to the main building – a lovely reception area, offices, shop, etc. Probably there will be fresh lime juice to sip while you check... More

Just left this lovely hotel after spending 3 nights in mrauk u. The cottages are lovely with plenty of room for our family of 3. We had a fantastic trip up to mrauk u on the princess boat which is ridiculously expensive but as we had a 4 yr old in tow we didn't want to risk the local boats.... More

Having been to Myanmar before , we wanted to see more of this absolutely fascinating country. Our Yangon based german tour operator Myanmar Diaries .com highly recommended to visit the ruins of the old Rhakine Kingdom. The six hour trip on a very comfortable boat was arranged by our agency and we enjoyed seafood, fruit and meat dishes cooked by... More

At the end of a long but fascinating river journey from Sittwe, we were very pleased when we saw the accommodation at this hotel. The rooms were full of character and very comfortable. The bar and restaurant were really pleasant, and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Food was good. This is not a slick and sophisticated place, and the... More

The Mrauk-Oo Princess is a charming place to stay in Rakine State. The Cabins are situated in a compound surrounding a lodge and are quite comfortable. They are constructed in the local style with mostly local material. The hotel produces some of it's electrical power from burning rice husks in an ecological way. Don't expect television or air conditioning, they... More

This hotel is a real gem in Myanmar. The location is fantastic, the bungalows very nice and the service is always with a smile. They could improve their dinner buffet, give more training to their staff, etc..but it remains one of my best experience in Myanmar.

A fascinating region of the country and the boat journey on the resort's own boat to get there was one of our highlights. A very spacious boat for just 3 of us, with a top deck to watch (from under a canopy) the banks go by with habitations, people out and about, water buffalo grazing, stupas gleaming gold on hillsides,...

Mrauk U hasn't made the classic Burma tourist trip yet (thankfully), so it was a surprise to find this luxury resort here. We're glad we did. We booked our trip thru Grand Lotus tours in Yangon, which arranged for what was essentially a private boat (complete with white linen lunch, our own guide, our own server) ride from Sittwae, a...
