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.

Staying at Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort was truly a magical experience! The location along the Irrawaddy river offered breathtaking views, and the garden was lush and peaceful. However, the dining experience was quite disappointing due to high prices and limited menu options. While the service was excellent overall, I felt the costs for meals were a bit much for the quality provided.

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 is a beautifully expansive property with stunning views of the river and access to major attractions. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, which is a plus.

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.
