The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Heavenly Evening Views

Dining at the resort was an lovely experience. The view from the dining tables in the evening was heavenly as the river took on a pink hue during sunset. I enjoyed a good meal, particularly the spicy Thiripyitsaya Curry with lentil soup, all while listening to a local girl serenade us on the Myanmar harp. The culinary experience was elevated by both the ambiance and quality of the food.

Tranquil Spa Experience

I had the pleasure of enjoying a massage and facial at the resort's spa, and both were entirely relaxing and thorough. The soothing environment helped melt away all my stresses, making it a perfect end to my busy days exploring the pagodas of Bagan. Next time, I hope I can spend even more time unwinding in the spa.

Spacious Accommodations

My bungalow was spacious and very well-designed, featuring a large room with a comfortable bed, a sitting area, and a changing area. It was spotlessly clean, making it a cozy haven to come back to after exploring. The added river view from my terrace was a particular highlight and made my stay even more enjoyable.

Comfortable and Accessible

The bathroom in my bungalow was a good size and had everything I needed. Although the hot water took a couple of minutes to flow, it was a minor inconvenience. However, I did note that care should be taken when exiting the tub as it was elevated, which added a bit of surprise to the experience. Nevertheless, it added character to my stay.

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.

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.
