Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Great food at such a good price"

Review by: Keith E | Source: Trip Advisor
This is very high quality food and a little different. We had the 2 different tasting menus between us, so we tried a lot of dishes- most of them were winners. It relatively so affordable compared with fine dining in major world cities as well, which is such a pleasant change.

Inle Princess Resort: "A dream come to life"

Review by: Brian G | Source: Trip Advisor
Absolutely beautiful in every way! This was the highlight of our 2 week vacation in Inle Lake. The staff is courteous and friendly, and the food we had for dinner each night was better than some of the meals we have had in New York City. The bikes they rented us for our ride up to forest monastery were so much better than the ones we saw other tourists walking up the hill (mountain bikes with different gears) and they customized an itinerary for us for our one full day in Inle Lake so we could visit the hot springs at Khaung Daing (highly recommended towards the end of the day) and see the floating markets and various other sites. I wish I could remember the name of the man who took us around on our motor boat for the day -- he was an absolute pleasure! The outdoor showers in the rome are a nice romantic touch, and the sunsets from the deck of the rooms have to be seen to be believed (will try to upload pictures and add later). Though the Wi fi connection was spotty, who wants to be on the Internet when you rate surrounded by so much nature and beauty?! (If totally necessary, the connection by the reception and restaurant was reliable). Kudos to all of the staff -- you made our stay in Inle Lake a highlight of a lifetime of traveling!

Rachamankha: "Better than expected"

Review by: Anita T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Enchanting, exquisite , excellent, charming, amazing ..... What more can I say? My husband and I stayed at this very beautiful rare gem of a boutique hotel last week and everything couldn't be more perfect, Special thanks and much appreciation to service staff during breakfast and front desk they were all super professional including the security guard who had a torch light ready when he saw me ""digging"" into my handbag in the dark to pay the tuk tuk driver. Will definitely be planning another trip there!"

Satri House: "Stunning"

Review by: 888vivien64 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We stayed at Satri house for 3 Nights a few weeks ago. It is the most outstanding hotel I think we have ever stayed in, everything about it is beautiful our room, the surroundings, the food, the staff(nothing was to much trouble) I wanted to live there!!. Our room was tucked away in a corner with its own little courtyard and was so peaceful. Satri house is full of its own special charm and a fabulous place to retreat to after a hot day sightseeing around Luang Prabang, I think I left a little piece of my heart there. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Slow Villas and Spa: "jewel of the island"

Review by: Elle B | Source: Trip Advisor
The incredible villa, staff and overall experience were hands down the best part of my trip to Bali! Every detail was thought of. From luxurious linens & pillows, to travel adaptors and even headlamps for evening walks down Shady Lane - Slow has made it their mission to ensure you have no worries whatsoever! Mission accomplished. I cannot wait to return and be back in this little slice of heaven!

The Island Lodge: "Serenity"

Review by: C V | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Recently went here a second time and it pure bliss. The resort is stunning, beautifully designed accompanied by good service and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere. We live in Saigon and we usually travel outside the country when we have any spare time but we make time to come to Island Lodge because it's that's great. We're actually going for our third visit in less than a week. Can't wait. "

Inle Princess Resort: "Perfect"

Review by: eliza725 | Source: Trip Advisor
"We can entirely recommend this resort - in fact I can't think of a single criticism (except that wifi could be better, but that is true of everywhere in Myanmar. Give it time) The setting is lovely - the hotel insists that all boats arrive rowed with their motors off to keep the tranquility, which also means there is lovely bird life to observe. Food is delicious - and you can see their carefully tended organic vegetable garden. There are lots of little touches that make a difference - the personal welcome note on handmade paper, the mosquito repellant at dinner, the bikes, the little appetiser at dinner.... They say they are conscious of conservation and we saw evidence of that. plus the staff here seem genuinely happy Genuinely recommend."
