I had a lovely stay at the hotel with beautiful settings by the Irrawaddy River and spacious, well-kept grounds. The views were stunning, especially at sunset. However, the room was in need of refurbishment and cleanliness could be improved in the bathroom. Despite that, the dining experience was quite pleasant, although the menu could use more variety.

My stay at Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort was a mixed experience. The peaceful surroundings near the Irrawaddy River and the beautiful gardens made for a stunning backdrop, though the room itself felt a bit outdated and could surely use some refurbishment. The service from the staff was generally pleasant, especially from Pa Pa, who made my stay feel special. However, the dining options left much to be desired, as the menu seemed limited and the prices high compared to local eateries.
