Peaceful Escape

The spa at Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort looks very nice. Although I didn't get a chance to experience it during my stay, a friendly staff member gave me a tour, and I was impressed by the tranquil ambiance and variety of treatments available. I plan to indulge myself in their services on my next visit!

The cabana I stayed in was amazing! It was exceptionally spacious, well-equipped, and perfectly clean. I appreciated the serene environment, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the Irrawaddy River right from my room.

Functional Yet Charming

The bathroom in my cabana was clean and functional. While it could benefit from some refurbishment, I didn't mind much since I spent most of my time exploring the stunning surroundings. Everything was in working order, and I appreciated the ample space.

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.

The resort offers a unique, peaceful retreat on the banks of the Irrawaddy River, surrounded by beautiful gardens. While the bungalows are comfortable and the pool boasts stunning views, I found the service lacking in attentiveness and the dining options quite limited, particularly for vegetarians. Overall, the location is the highlight, but some improvements in dining and service would enhance the experience.
