The Myanmar Treasure Inle Lake hotel was a highpoint in our Myanmar trip. The staff could not have been more accommodating, moving chairs and tables around on the patio so that our group of 18 could have a pre-dinner Happy Hour in honor of a birthday. Rooms are charming, surrounded by water so that the atmosphere of being on Inle Lake is ever-present. And yes, the hot water bottles in the bed were welcome in the cool evening. Definitely recommended!
We had some cash left over and Inle Lake was our last stop before heading home - so we decided to spend our last two nights on the lake... we got so much more than we expected!!
The lake is so beautiful and quiet after the hustle and noise of the last few days in Nyaung Shwe. The staff are amazing! - the room was beautiful with our own private view of the lake... we even got a love note on our pillow when we returned from dinner - with hot water bottles heating our bed.
A great way to end our holiday in a wonderful country!
There is nothing like waking up and looking out from your bed and room to see mist coming off the lake, and then it clearing to being calm and clear.
Located on the lake, you deserve at least one night to enjoy the experience.
We were lucky enough to meet up with an excellent foreign guide, Keith of Slow Burma Travel, and he showed us around the lake and the hills around for two days, which really made our time there.
You can find him at Mr A Tun's travel agency on the main street.
Would stay at this place again.
Since the hotel has all motors turned off about 50 meters from the entrance I don´t know what one of the reviewers was complaining about. It´s a big lake with lots of small boats...use ear plugs.
The cabins are wonderful. Double beds, a lovely seating area (small living room) mlooking out onto the comfy porch, an alcove with desk, big bath with tub and outdoor shower.
Food wasn´t New York City but there were plenty of choices and they did have Burmese dishes.
My private tours generally started about 8:30 and ended about three so there was time for a delightful spa treatment before dinner. The music started at 7 or 7 ;30 and ended by eleven.
I slept like a lamb
BEWARD the local gin is dreadful and if I wanted a martini there agin it would be Gordon´s straigh up!!!! The Vermouth is suspicious as well :-)
For any social and environmental conscience people, this place shall be avoided. This resort has an imposing structure on the lake, perhaps the largest hotel in the area and is owned by the cronies of the repressive military government. The breakfast is totally catered to the western tourists' taste. We ended up in this resort by accident. For our next trip, we will definitely choose a place with less environmental impact.
