Bagan Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort
Medium / High Price
Deluxe Room & Suite
Bar / Restaurant / Swimming Pool
Old Bagan
Located in a quiet area on the banks of the river close to the Mingalazedi and Agatehpayagyi Pagodas and offering wonderful views of the Irrawaddy River. The resort is set over a large area within well manicured grounds but may not be suitable for those who have difficulty walking distances. Pleasant pool area located within a large lawn with recliners and umbrellas. The accommodation is adequate rather than luxury and here you are paying a premium for the very scenic open spaces plus extensive public areas.

High Price
Deluxe Double / Deluxe Twin Room
Bar / Restaurant / Swimming Pool
New Bagan
Located on the banks of the Irrawaddy River in the heart of Old Bagan close to may of the main sites including the Ananda Temple and the Shwesandaw Pagoda. The river views are spectacular and worth paying a little extra for. The gardens and swimming pool area, which has a separate jacuzzi pool, are very attractive and well kept with lots of tropical plants. The rooms feature a lot of wood panelling as well as wooden floors but otherwise are a little sparse and have old appliances. That said the outside areas make the difference. The staff are friendly, eager and always smiling.

Crown Prince Hotel

Deluxe Room & Suite
Bar / Restaurant
New Bagan
ocated in New Bagan close to many restaurants this modern hotel offers spotlessly clean and comfortably spacious rooms set over two floors with new appliances. The hotel would benefit from a swimming pool and better use of the garden. The professional staff score highly although the lack of character the building shows is a slight detriment.

Thazin Garden Hotel
High Price
Deluxe Room
Bar / Restaurant / Swimming Pool
New Bagan
Located in New Bagan this hotel has a large garden with many tropical plants and an eye-pleasing temple. The rooms, as in many Bagan hotels, feature a lot of wood making them feel rather smaller than they actually are. Food from the kitchen is mainly served in the garden although there is also a covered area when it is required. The pool is surounded by trees and plants making it a pleasant place to spend some time especially on a hot day due to there being lots of shade.
