Family hotels & resorts in Ngwesaung Beach

"This was a great stay. We stayed with our two young children and the staff treated them very well. All that said, some of the amenities (especially breakfast) was disappointing. Coffee was very bad and food selection for breakfast is not representative of a four star establishment. There seems to be a trend in Myanmar that, as long as you're 'good enough' of an establishment, you somehow get 4-5 stars, when anywhere else in the world it would be 3-4 stars. But, hey, if you go to Ngwe Saung, and you have the $ to spend, this is the best place to stay. I've tried to be honest, clear, and accurate in this review. Like I said, a good place to go...we'll probably be back. Is it the best or worthy of the 5* rating? No. "

" My wife and I traveled from Yangon to Ngwe Saung Beach for a four day personal retreat. We live in and travel extensively in Asia and spend many more days in a hotel than at home. Since we travel so often we generally choose mid-range properties but sometimes stay in 5 star or even 2 star hotels. We read the Reviews of hotels to get a sense about the place we are going to stay. Eskala had good reviews, but honestly, this property was one of the best I have stayed at in years. The staff was well trained and it is evident that the management was investing in staff training and more importantly in maintenance and upkeep of the facility. We walked the beach every day and this one had the best maintained beach of all of the beachfront properties in this stretch of beach. We had a small problem with the A/C one evening but the staff immediately worked to resolve the issue. Our respect to Ya Min who had the title of Bellboy but demonstrated excellent management skills in assisting in this. Our stay was in September, Rainy Season, and we expected the food service to be decreased but we found the Food to be excellent. More 5 star than 4 star. Htun Htun Oo and staff did an exemplary Job even though the hotel was not full. Food presentation and timing was first class and the portions were generous. We were also impressed with the Front desk manager Nao Nao Hnin Wai who checked us in and out and assisted us as we were interested in local attractions. The Pool was exceptionally large for a 60 unit property and very well maintained. Overall, the stay exceeded our expectations. Would recommend this property to anyone traveling to this beach. "

"This guesthouse is the cleanest place I've been in Myanmar! The hosts are amazing and give you lots of recommendation about what to do in ngwesaung, where to eat, etc. Even if you do hear your neighbours (wooden rooms) I definitely recommend this pace! "

"We spent at the hotel only one night as we arrived at Ngwe Saung one day earlier than planned and the hotel we stayed the remaining five days was fully booked for that date. But we used to come to Soe Ko Ko every day of our holidays - for a dinner or just to chat with Aung (the manager). The hotel is made of bamboo tree and nicely decorated in a Myanmar national style. The hotel has a chef who cooks good food, Tom Yam Goong was best we tried in Myanmar. Tempura prawns were also delicious. One day Aung arranged a special dinner for us - he bought a big fish from local fishermen and his chef cooked it perfectly. The price for this nice dinner was more than modest. The hotel's staff is very friendly and helpful but speaks very little English. The hotel's owner, Aung's father, did a favour and delivered us to Yangon when our holiday came to an end. Our room was basic but cozy and we had electricity during whole of the day. One possible inconvenience is that the hotel lacks hot water but we did not consider it as a huge problem. The hotel is located a bit outside the village (in a quiet and safe place) but it only takes 5-7 minutes to get it. The beach is in 5 minutes distance from the hotel. We recommend Soe Ko Ko if you are looking for an authentic, well managed and and reasonably priced accomodation in Ngwe Saung."

"Nice big rooms only a few steps away from the beach. The staff was really friendly and helpfull. I just missed ceiling fan or other fan in the room as the A/C only runs from 12pm to 7 am. But electricity is available 24/7. I also enjoyed the choices they had for breakfast. Nice big pool. "

"I stayed here on a weekend get away while working in Myanmar. It is a beautiful beach and the facilities are wonderful. It is very different than most areas in Myanmar and is not yet overwhelmed with tourists. "

"Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Room and Bathroom both very spacious and well equipped. Bed comfortable. Breakfast western and Myanmar style. Breakfast room would be nicer situated with view to the sea instead of street, but this is just a small "minus". Hotel organised Motorbikes for us and bus tickets to Yangon. "
