Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort is a true haven of peace and relaxation, with an exceptional location alongside the Irrawaddy River that offers stunning views. The rooms are well-equipped for a comfortable stay, and the service is highly personalized, especially thanks to the attentive staff. However, there's room for improvement in cleanliness in the bathrooms and a few service aspects that were a bit inconsistent.

I had an incredible stay at the resort, located right on the banks of the Irrawaddy River with stunning views. The accommodations were spacious and well-maintained, while the staff provided exceptional service throughout my visit. The peaceful surroundings and beautiful landscapes were a highlight, but I did find the bathroom setup a bit impractical. Overall, a wonderful experience, though I would recommend exploring dining options outside the resort for dinner.
