Excellent 3-Night Stay

For our three day stop at Inle Lake we stayed at the Sanctum Inle Resort. Everything about our stay was wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Our room was spacious with plenty of space to store clothes and all of our gadgets. Every morning breakfast was very satisfying with plenty of options. The restaurant offered a complete menu with a wide variety of Asian and Western foods. The restaurant setting is beautiful overlooking the pool and the lake in the distance. Yet the real jewel for the Sanctum is the staff. Always very friendly and ready to take care of any need. The general manager, Baptiste, was constantly checking on us, answering questions, giving advice, and making certain that our stay was a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend the Sanctum for anyone looking for an ideal place to stay in the Inle Lake area

This is a beautiful place with gorgeous facilities and delicious food. It is more of a place for older folks and couples and it a bit off the beaten path. But even as a single traveler there is plenty to do here to keep yourself occupied with excursions one can book right from the hotel.

静かに過ごせる高原リゾートホテルとしては最高レベルのスペックだと思います。 内装も品がよく、落ち着いたお洒落感。従業員もよく気が利く印象。 些細なことかも知れないが、ウェルカムドリンクが、ドラゴンフルーツベースにミントとジンジャーを加えた凝ったものだったり、朝食ビュッフェにスパークリングワインが提供されていたり、ノンビリ過ごしたい旅行者を喜ばせるツボを心得てる気がする。

Wunderschöne Anlage direkt im grünen und mit eigenem Steg. Zimmer riesig und modern eingerichtet. Bestes Frühstück im ganzen Urlaub! Pool sehr schön, etwas kühl aber gute Abkühlung. Personal und Manager wahnsinnig bemüht als ich krank geworden bin. Günstige und gut organisierte Bootstour durch das Hotel.

We were granted an upgrade to the Provoost Suite upon arrival. That is a large, semi detached villa which is really beautiful and luxurious. Really enjoyed that. :-) The only minor remark is that the suite would be even nicer with a splash of colour. It was a little dull in regards to the colour choice. Some bright, colourful fabric and/or painting could do the trick. The pool seems a bit small in high season, I fear. Nevertheless a beautiful dark tiled pool with a nice view towards the lake. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and enjoyed a really very nice meal. Tasteful, nice presented dishes. It's only a pitty that there are not so many local dishes on the menu. Otherwise we would have had dinner more than once. The very friendly manager is present a lot and you can see that he cares a lot that his guests have a great time during their stay at the Sanctum.

フレンドリーなスタッフのいる静かで落ち着いた館

ホテルを出て左手100Mくらいのところにショップがあり、ビールが買えて便利。 備え付けの冷蔵庫がワインクーラー程度しか冷やすことができなかったのがマイナスポイント。スタッフは氷を持ってきてカバーしてくれた。 朝食のメニューが少ないので2日で全種類食べてしまえるので長期滞在した場合は飽きてしまうだろう。

Amazing place to stay. We were driven in to the jetty after a long day on the lake and it was all simply perfect. Amazing staff, service, room, facilities and the food was brilliant. My only regret was I wished we stayed there for longer.

Property and staff are wonderful. Beautiful lake access without the boat noise from the lake. Hotel supplies bikes with easy bike ride to very good local restaurants. Pain-free check-in and beautiful infinity pool. Extremely attentive staff. Really, a first-rate hotel. Kudos to the GM Baptiste!

Sanctum Inle Resort offers a relaxing retreat or base to explore Inle Lake and the surrounding areas. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was a nice surprise and the villa was spacious and very well appointed. The pool offers a refreshing dip with views onto Inle Lake. Staff always have a smile and are very accomodating to any requests. Breakfast is a la carte and offered a very good variety of options. Complimentary bicycles are provided to explore the surrounding areas. Dinner was delicious and the waiter made an excellent recommendation for a locally produced red wine to accompany the food. I would however have liked to see more local dishes offered in the restaurant. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sanctum Inle Resort.
