Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Amazing stay in the middle of nowhere, away from the drama of the coast. Extremely comfy beds, and the BEST blackout curtains I have ever had at a hotel! Extremely clean, and well kept. Had the manager was very attentive and friendly on arrival, and the Myanmar F&B manager was a suoer-host. And they are pet friendly, which we love. The cacophony of birds at sunset was so amazing in the courtyard. Will definitely stay again!

Negative: None!
