Find Hotels in Kawthaung, Myanmar

In general, Myanmar hotels are not nearly the value for money that their Thai neighbors next door are (I live in Yangon and have travelled throughout Myanmar for work and pleasure), but the Victoria Cliff was very well-maintained, the staff were attentive, and the grounds are beautiful and there is a gorgeous view of the ocean and surrounding islands. It's about 15 minutes to downtown Kawthaung from the hotel, and as there aren't many taxis (mostly motorbike taxis, but the hotel is away from downtown so a street hail would be tricky), the best bet is to have the hotel take you for 15,000 MMK ($11 or so) roundtrip. Staff was extremely kind---on our final day, we took the "city tour" but elected not to get a guide, but one of the managers who spoke excellent English tagged along with us anyway, for free, and showed us around. Typical Myanmar kindness!

it is close to monastery that has early morning ceremonies with a microphone so beware which side of the building you choose. Although I had chosen the opposite side, the chanting and bells still woke me up at daybreak. Food at their restaurant is good. It is up the hill so a little far from the harbor. The room was clean. No hot water...or it didn't work. It is an old building which has a certain charm. It was ok but like most hotels in Myanmar too expensive for what you get.

I already knew what to expect staying here so enjoyed my stay! The manager was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions patiently, suggested that I take some time to go around town and take the evening bus ride instead of the morning one (helped arrange my ticket), which was a GREAT tip. He helped me arrange a motorbike to go around the area and it was so worth it to do - Kawthaung is beautiful! Lots of local life to see and amazing nature if you do your research on where to go. The mohinga for breakfast was delicious (also option for toast), the room was small but enough for a solo traveler who doesn't need much.
