Paramount Inle Resort

Phenomenal location on the SW portion of the lake, near some of the main attractions. Staff was extremely friendly; always helped carry our bags and even helped set up the mosquito net before bedtime. Breakfast was a highlight as well, with a nice selection of pancakes, fruit and an egg chef station. Unfortunately you're on your own to book boat transportation from Nyaungshwe to the hotel on the lake. Price should be around 15-20k kyat. We were ripped off and charged 30k kyat.

The location was great, right on the lake. We found that the noise from the boats cruising past, which had been criticised by others, was not a problem at all. Yes you hear it if you're sitting in your room all day, but even then it's part of the life on the lake, and we mostly heard it in the afternoons when returning from a day out and it was actually charming and became background noise. The room was on the smaller side, but got the afternoon sun, which was good since the temperature dropped a lot in January, so waking up in the mornings the temperature inside was the same as outside, but they gave us plenty of duvets so it was warm to sleep. We had a small issue with the shower pressure, but that was fixed right away. The staff in the restaurant were superb, always keeping an eye out on whether a table was lacking something. Breakfast was one of the best we had in Myanmar. We noticed that the staff were learning English on their common computer, when they had a moment to spare :)

We wanted to experience staying in quaint, individual bungalows built on stilts right in the middle of the lake and that's what we got. At the end of each day, we would sit on the balcony of our bungalows to enjoy watching the boats pass by against a backdrop of incredible sunsets. Make sure you have your camera ready! It's impossible to take a bad photo. If you're into star gazing, the hotel deck is a good place to do this. The accommodation is clean with local interior design decor and modern plumbing. The breakfasts are enjoyable with a mixture of western and local options. It must be the organic farming technique practiced in the region that results in the best potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkin and eggs we've ever tasted, and I'm not alone to say this as I was travelling with 2 professional hotel chefs. Make sure to try the butter fish dish on the hotel menu - it's divine! The staff is super friendly and helpful. We would definitely like to come back one day!

Everthing was just perfect ! To celebrate my birthday, they surprised me with a nice cake, a bouquet of roses and a birthday card. I was very touched. The restaurant has an extensive range of delicious dishes. All the staff were attentive, special thanks to Mrs Pu.

Nice rooms, exellent service. Isn't the best location because of sounds of passing boats. In my room I heard voices of my neighbors like we are in the same room. We was trying to sleep after breakfast, but it was impossible - staff started to make up rooms. They did it very loud. Good hotel, but If you a sensitive sleeper and need some rest It isn't best solution.

it does gets pretty noisy from the motorboat passing through, but they provide ear plugs so thats alright! hotel also provide tour service, which was alright priced but the tour was quite meh, would suggest looking for an english speaking guide in town area and nego for better rates food was great and overall staff was super helpful and lovely. Had a fantastic stay

Very enjoyable stay at the Paramount Inle which entirely met our expectations. This was part of a trip through Burma with Jasmine Holidays in the UK and it was a great choice of hotel - at the south of the lake. Getting to the hotel by boat was a highlight.

Very friendly and accommodating staff, able to assist with early checkin even if it was barely 6am and offered free breakfast; their assistance on a very cold morning was greatly appreciated

On the lake , room very cosy , breakfast super nice , totally recommend it

Lovely family time in there. Food are also nice. Staffs are friendly.

GOOD ARRANGEMENT BY THE HOTEL ON MY 18 YEAR ANNIVERSARY , MY WIFE IS SO SURPRISE AND HAPPY . VERY RELAXING RESORT FACING INLE LAKE WITH A NICE SUNSET THANKS A LOT TO ALL THE STAFF

Everything is great at this hotel. My favourite part is sitting at the dock and watching the busy boats passing by. The downside is the rooms not sound proof. You can hear everything that going on next door. Even the foot steps and waking up to the alarm sound from next door. Despite all guess I will still choose the hotel again.

The resort IS on the lake but facing a major thoroughfare canal, so it can be noisy from long boats blasting past during daylight hours (and occasionally at night). Very handy to the major Inle Lake sights.

The hotel was a bit of surprise as you have to take 45 mins boat to reach the hotel which we didnt know. but we liked it. the manager is a great lady and was really very nice to the kids. clean hotel though a bit old.

This hotel is in the middle of the lake! We had great sunsets from our balkony, the restaurant and the breakfast was great and the staff wonderfull. Be aware, that you will be staying at one of the principle water roads. So there are a lot of boats passing in the morning and during the day (no more boats as soon as it gets dark). So if you are sensitive to the loud motors of the boats and you dont like earplugs you should consider to get a room in the back or choose a different hotel. We didn't care since we got up at 6.30 in the morning.

Would be easier if they had some way to collect you but you have to make your own way there. We had a cabin facing the lake which was pretty nice but not special - no table on the little deck and deckchairs may not suit everyone (I'm too fat so it wasn't ideal). Breakfast had a limited and unimaginative choice We specifically requested a double bed but got a twin bed which is annoying. (Second time out of three in Myanmar so far). However I expect they would have moved us if we'd asked. Prices for everything are in USD (another annoying trait) and obviously much higher than elsewhere but if you can afford the hotel then....(they generously decided to let us have the water in the fridge for free - normally priced at $1 a bottle!) Lunch selection and quality was excellent - I'd really recommend this place as a lunch stop on a tour of the lake. Personally I loved sitting on our little deck just watching the boats go by, with a coffee and a smoke. View is nothing special but relaxing.

I came here to enjoy my birthday and it was super great with lovely staffs, delicious foods and the resort surprised me with a yummy pan cake as a birthday gift in the morning. This is a really nice experience for me there and I definitely will stay there again if I come back Inle

All are perfect here. It is worth value to pay for. Staff are really welcome and well-trained , they can help you whatever you want. Even , they cannot get the answer right away but they will find the solution for you. I will definitely come back if I visit Inle again. All staff both in the restaurant , reception and housekeeping were great.

I'm retired and blessed with good health actually swim about 4-5 miles per week. I travel alone 6-8 months per year internationally! I wrenched my knee a couple of hours before arriving at the Paramount. I was hobbling along and upon arrival the staff immediately brought me something to drink, an ice pack, an ace bandage and tiger balm. Another staff member made me a bamboo cane! I was not going to let a wrenched knee stand in my way of touring around Inle Lake. They arranged a private long boat below market rate for me the following day. They sent with me an ice cooler with ice packs for my knee and cold drinks at no charge. Additionally they sent a fantastic staff member along with me for the entire day to make sure I would be able to get around and see everything! Again no charge! During the few days I stayed there they took care of me at every turn. I felt like I was being taken care of by family! The Paramount is wonderful on its own... The staff are truly in a class all their own! I highly recommend a stay here if you make it to Inle Lake. Thank you everyone for a wonderful stay and for all of your kindness!

There are many options to stay in Nyaungshwe. But if you have the budget and time, stay on the Inle Lake itself. Paramount Inle Resort is one of the most reasonably-priced options. The inhouse restaurant is also not too expensive and my dinner choice was delicious. Take note about mosquitoes at night. But to wake up in the morning and look right onto the lake is a magical feeling. If you are taking a boat tour from Nyaungshwe, it is possible to arrange for the boat driver to drop you off at the resort on the way to visit the rest of the sights on the lake and drop you back at the end of the tour. Hence, you can leverage on the boat tour to provide you transport to the resort (and not pay extra to get to the resort). On your return back to Nyaungshwe, you can arrange with the receptionist, possibly sharing the ride back with other tourists checking out at the same time.
