I stayed here for 1 night on a tour and it was very relaxing compared to the rest of the tour. I got a massage and sat at the pool and did nothing. There is nothing in walking distance, so you are forced to do everything there unless you can get a car to go somewhere. The rooms were spacious... More

I had one night here on a tour. Heard there were 59 steps, they are down to the pool and the restaurant, not up to reception as l was led to believe. Also if you are in a room 300+ you have more steps to negotiate. Unfortunately l wasn't feeling too well whilst l stayed, so could have done without... More

We stayed only one night, close to the beginning of our Myanmar tour, and it really was relaxing! I was lucky to get a mountain view room - stunning view and lots of wildlife music as the sun was setting. Evening meal was fine and staff were very helpful in getting our luggage down the numerous steps for an early... More

Beautiful site, beautiful hotel, beautiful landscaping, friendly staff, and good food. Fabulous views. Comfortable and well appointed. They fitted me in for a massage with little notice and it was superb, especially after climbing the mountain! Would like to stay longer!

We were with a Saga group and given a block of rooms at the back of the resort on the top of a large number of steps. Many of the group found themselves unable to use the facilities as the climb up and down to the pool and restaurant took so much effort in the extreme heat. There is a... More

What a lovely surprise this resort turned out to be, I just wish we had 2 nights here instead of the 1. It was peaceful, calm and totally relaxing. Okay we paid extra and had the Deluxe Mountain View, and boy was it worth it. Having the Popa Taungkalat shrine right outside our balcony was truly amazing, as was the... More

A nice hotel, with stunning views, as it's half-way up a mountain. It's a popular lunch stop for tour groups, so can get a bit crowded and noisy in the middle of the day. Evening meals at the hotel (it's a little isolated, so there's not really any option to dining in) were excellent, but breakfasts were disappointing. Tablecloths weren't... More

the location per se is incredible, we had a mountain view room which is with a breathtaking view. There is so much more potential in this place... Unfortunately, the hotel is highly frequented by bus groups that check in for lunch - then you can forget tranquility and the service is even worse. The awesome pool is then a noisy... More

Impressive looking with a stunning view. Room in a bungalow on stilts looked lovely (one of the best rooms, looking directly out towards Mt Popa) but the bungalow had another room on the other side and the walls were paper thin. While we were in bed a couple with a baby, a small child and a maid or nanny moved... More

The hotel has a stunning view over the dramatic Mount Popa temple, it is a beautiful place to stay. Terrace for drinks ideally positioned for sunset and very strong margaritas! However, one or two nights plenty. Rooms are very dark, too dark to read or pack bag. Breakfast poor, not much choice and no menu so difficult to communicate with... More
