Relaxing resort, great service, great location, huge rooms”
Don't skip Inle Lake on your Myanmar visit. It is so different from the rest of Myanmar (lots of Pagodas, etc) that it helps round out your experience. Spending a day (~7hrs) traveling around the lake and visiting various shops, having lunch, etc is a great experience. We found Aureum be perfectly located right on the lake - including private boat service/dock and pool/lounge area directly on/overlooking the lake and with unobstructed view of the sunset. Staff service level is high, rooms are huge, a really relaxing experience ... BTW tip: On the road into Inle Lake, you'll get asked for a 'tourist fee' - for us it was roughly 10k Myanmar per person I forget how much. But getting stopped on the road, without heads up ahead of time, was a bit off putting. Also, make sure to visit the farmer's market which is a roughly 15min walk north up the road. Final suggestion, don't stay in the north villas - the hotel just north sometimes has loud late parties which can be disruptive
Dear Brent, Mingalarbar .. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recommending us. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. With wood based structures and shady trees are matching the beauty of Inle Lake. We hope to welcome you back.

Still a lovely hotel”
The Aureum Inle Palace was opened in 1996 and for some time was one of only a couple of top class resorts on Inle Lake. I first visited the hotel in 2013 when Myanmar was just beginning to open up to mass tourism and the hotel still held its position as a sought after experience. That is still the case. The architectural design, fixtures and fittings are lovely and the furnishings very attractive. There are many other brand name (and brand new) resorts entering the up market Inle experience, however, and as a result the Aureum is beginning to look a little tired and in need of a facelift. Some of the $250+ USD needs to be ploughed back in to the buildings if the hotel is not to be left behind. In summary, a comfortable and luxurious hotel with excellent staff with slightly tired facilities.
Dear Duncan, Mingalarbar .. Thank you for the feedback. The traditional wooden structure is quite few remaining in the region that seems not in favor to modernized. Care and maintenance is immense task. The yearly renovation is in place. We wish we could provide you greater services. We look forward to welcome you back and enjoy the Aureum Hospitality. Sincerely Yours, Wynn Ko Ko (Mr) Room Division Management Aureum Palace Hotel & Resort-Inle
We love this hotel!!! ”
Where should I start.... everything was top quality! Amazing Inle Lake staff! Top quality of hospitality , so friendly, so comforting and they made us feel so warmth during our Christmas vacation. Food was delicious and try their homemade papaya jam! Just couldn’t get enough of it. Pool is spectacular and the sunset view is out of this world. Highly recommend it to families. Rooms are spacious enough for 4 and was clean, new yet so rustic! Loved everything about Aureum Inle Lake!

Amazing Hitel, amazing location, super amazing staff (each and every one of them)”
This resort was magical... The room (more like a luxury apartment) was beyond our expectations. We tried to enjoy every-tastefully-decorated corner of it.. The view was breathtaking, and so relaxing. And even though I didn’t think this made such a difference, the staff were absolutely amazing, so kind, careful and very attentive to your needs, even if you didn’t verbally ask for something... they just paid attention what you might need, and there it was!!! I would definitely come here again, if not for Lake Inle itself... Thank you so much Aureum Hotel.

We stayed at Aureum Palace Hotel & Resort in Bagan and Inle. Both were wonderful. The hotels themselves and the views were breath-taking. The staffs are very friendly, helpful and thoughtful. We love it

Beautiful setting ”
We chose a room with wonderful views of the Inle lake. Sunset was stunning, Hotel beautiful. Room magnificent. As we travelled out of season there was not much to do in the evenings, quite cold but you could sit outside and be warmed by coal burners and have a cocktail or 2. Restaurant prices were all in US dollars and not far off what we would be charged in an equivalent place back home, but for Myanmar these prices are high. My suggestion is to eat Burmese food here, which is delicious as the hamburger and fries were just ok and the dessert of Creme Brûlée was not good at all. Staff are professional and helpful but not as friendly as other hotels. You can change currency here at a good rate. Hired a long boat with the hotel for USD 40 however walk along to Murak Market and get the same trip for about US15.00. A vibrant, friendly, humorous, savvy community awaits with much to see and great photo opportunities. Eat local food its delicious and so reasonably priced.
Dear Georgina, Mingalarbar .. We are always pleased to receive such valued comments as they help us to serve you better. We are also pleased that you appreciated our facilities and services. Regarding the prices, we are in such remote area that occurred extra transportation costs and most importantly we complied fully with the government regulations of taxation.

Beautiful resort with huge villas!”
This is an absolutely gorgeous resort right on the lake. Breakfast was excellent. The staff is the epitome of hospitable. Their attention to detail is top-notch. The pool is amazing with views of the lake while swimming. The villas are enormous and beautifully decorated with L’Occitane products at your disposal. There is a shower plus a huge teak bathtub which was so relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The only negatives I️ have are the mattresses are too firm for my taste and because the resort is on the lake you are isolated and not close to the action of the closest town (takes about thirty minutes via taxi to get there and costs 30 USD). Otherwise I️ would highly recommend this resort.

The room is spacious and tidy. Staff are helpful. Their rental bikes are all mountain bikes. I had problem with getting off the bike as I am not tall enough (163cm!) Lake view from balcony is just awesome.

Amazing location and facilities, pay attention to the extra costs though”
My friends and I arrived very early on the day of the checkin: we were very sorry to hear we would be charged 50% extra if we wanted to do early checkin, although we were the only guests in the hotel (perks of traveling low season). Also, they charged 20 USD for the breakfast, which is crazely high compared to anything else we paid during our whole trip (this is a NY or London type of price, definitely not Myanmar) Apart from that the staff was helpful and very kind, the view from the pool is absolutely incredible. A great place to stay at if you are not on a low budget trip
Dear Celia, Thank you very much for your constructive comment. We are very sorry to hear that you have an inconvenience during your stay. We are trying to fulfill every guest expectation on every time regardless of early check in procedure. Kindly let me get the chance to welcome and serve you as our VIP guest. Best regards, Ko Ko(Mr.) Front Office Operation
Great place to relax”
I loved this place. Great food. Great rooms. Great service. The down side is that the water for showers and bathroom taps stinks. It is the worst water I have ever smelt in a hotel. This aside, the pool is great and the view is relaxing Had a full day boat tour for $35 so cant complain about pricing either.
Dear Saul, Mingalarbar .. Thank you for the feedback and let us know your experience staying with us. Please accept my apology for the inconveniences caused. Regarding the water smell, regular maintenance and refurbishing process is immense task that takes before raining season. We guaranteed the improvement and please come and stay with us your next trip. We really look forward to welcome you back to enjoy the beauty of Inle Lake and Aureum Hospitality. Sincerely Yours, Wynn Ko Ko (Mr) Room Division Management Aureum Palace Hotel & Resort-Inle
Amazing!”
Pros: HUGE wonderful rooms Incredible sunset (facing the right direction) Delicious breakfast Kind and friendly staff that did everything they could to make our stay awesome Cons: Expect all prices in USD. Can easily walk 10mins and find amazing local food. We knew we would be overcharged for boat to Nyungshwe but was easier with bags. Would be best to spend two nights here in the peace, quiet, beauty and luxury and two nights in if you have time.

Friendly Staffs, Great Facilities, Expensive Restaurant, Excellent SPA”
Location is quite remote as you have to go for around 45mins to get to Nyaung Shwe. No restaurants or shop near hotel. Hotel restaurant is a bit pricey. Apart from that, the staffs are so friendly, facilities are great and I'd definitely recommend massage at their SPA. loved it.
