Villa Inle Boutique Resort - Maing Thouk Village

This hotel is situated near the Inle lake with wonderful views over the water & floating farms. It's made up of really spacious bungalows on stills, our family had one overlooling the lake which was fabulous. We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Inle lake. Our room was very large with huge bath area with both shower & bathtub & two sinks. The dinner was excellent & so was the service by friendly staffs. The breakfast was outstanding & so was the restaurant, the food was excellent with a good choice of local & international main dishes. The spa was wonderful & local massage was particularly recommended. Mr. Aung Ko Ko was the general manager & he was earger to make our family feel at home. All staffs were friendly & efficient & for the most part, their English were very nice & very welcoming & helpful. Congratulations to Mr. Aung Ko Ko & all staffs. We highly recommend Villa Inle Resort & hope to someday come back again.

The setting is absolutely beautiful. The resort is on the lake itself and the views are lovely.Villas are literally in the jungle rather than being surrounded by manicured lawns which gives you a feeling of being totally cocooned in this beautiful environment. The rooms are comfortable including the beds. The staff are really helpful and go out of their way to help you. The food is okay though better than some other places where I stayed in Myanmar. I cannot give this place more stars because it claims to have wifi yet it doesn't. Technically it does but the staff are well aware that it doesn't work in the villas. This is really problematic because you are seriously cut off and if you are trying to arrange tours or even stay in touch with work/home you have to go to the reception or to the restaurant to catch wifi. The problem with this is that the reception is tiny and the restaurant is not air conditioned and has lots of mosquitoes. I kicked up a fuss and since the staff are so amazing, the manager set up a hot spot just for my villa. However that only worked for a day. The second issue I had may seem silly but it bothered me a lot. The rooms have very little light. If you open all your curtains the neighbors can look right in. The internal lighting set up is extremely poor and after 5pm in November, you literally can't see properly in the villas. You need to pack in the day! The hotel has higher rates for hiring a boat or going to the airport. For example 55 USD for the airport rather than 40 USD. This is annoying. In November, when most people visit, it gets dark at 5pm. You are quite isolated and there is nothing to do. The hotel has no activities or suggestions. I do not know if other places have events or arrange anything. All in all I would advise you to only book here if you particularly love a jungle environment. Otherwise I cannot see why this place is so special considering the high rates except perhaps that it is on the lake.

Best place to unwind and be in touch with your soul! The staff were excellent! I couldn't get enough of the Shan noodle soup! The sunset view over Lake Inle were breathtaking! Beautifully appointed rooms!

Villa Inle Boutique Resort was exactly what we were looking for while at Inle Lake. We were picked-up from the airport and had some local snacks and water waiting for us in the van. Arriving to the resort on a boat was pretty spectacular, as we weaved through the plants. Arriving at the dock, we had a glass of fresh juice waiting for us and were taken to our private villa.The villas are stunning and very spacious. The view from our balcony faced the lake and was framed by the massive wall of windows. Be sure to ask them to organise a boat tour through the neighbouring villages. The staff were so friendly and happy to help answer any question you might have. If you're looking at learning some Burmese, they are the perfect teachers. We decided to splurge and get a massage at the spa and we don' regret it; possibly the best massage I've ever had and wanted to go back for more! If we ever make it back to Inle, we will definitely stay here again!

Super calm, charming and real old luxury feeling. Villas are incredibly well done, big, luminous and luxurious. Breakfast is very good and dinner is excellent for Burmese standards.Don't understand why it is not a 5 stars hotel. Totally recommendable.

This place is BREATHTAKING! We arrived by boat, just as the sun was beginning to set. The villas look out over the lake and have a generous complimentary mini-bar. We also got Thai massages, which were amazing and quite fairly priced. Breakfast was the only meal we had, but it was generous and delicious.

I stayed in Villa Inle Boutique Resort and I loved everything about it! The hotel is built to respect the eco-system of the area and has many eco-friendly features. My villa had a balcony with a view on the lake and I enjoyed watching the sunset from here! The villa was very spacious and comfortable. The staff was helpful and welcoming. I also really enjoyed the food at the restaurant as they are growing their own vegetables in their garden!

My favourite thing about staying at Villa Inle Boutique Resort was the amazing sunset view from the balcony of our private villa. It is one of those hotels whose every sight is so beautiful that you would barely feel like leaving. The food at the property had good vegetarian variety for me and the best thing about it was the fact that most of it was grown in-house in their organic garden- how amazing!! The wifi in the room could be better but if you are going to unwind and take in the stunning surroundings then this is the place for you.
