If you’re making the journey to Kyaiktiyo and you’ve done the hike to the Golden Rock itself, you’ll breathe easy knowing your hotel is just a 15-minute trek away – downhill, of course. The location here is an absolute winner: the hotel is perched on Mt. Kyaiktiyo’s lovely wooded terrain. It’s far away from the hustle of the city, and superbly close to the Golden Rock Pagoda so that you can rest your weary head as soon as possible after making the trek.
The Golden Rock Pagoda is over 2,500 years old, a unique world wonder, and is said to even have a direct connection to Buddha himself. The boulder sits precariously on a piece of tabular rock and appears to defy gravity. It overlooks a deep and ravishing valley. If you stay at the apex for sunset, be sure to have a torch on hand for the walk to your hotel. On-site, you can dine in the restaurant, drink at the bar, or browse through the hotel’s souvenir shop.
The deluxe rooms feature basic but adequate facilities, including air-conditioning. The internet in the common area works. Don’t expect fine dining or any special luxury touches. This is a simple, clean and friendly establishment meant to serve the adventurous crowds of people that make the trip to see the Golden Rock Pagoda.

Customer Feedback
We enjoyed a 3 week trip exploring both the well known places as well as the less developed areas. We also balanced the trip with a variety of walks and activities as well as time for several half day breaks to relax. The Myanmar people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The colours of the country are outstanding, wonderful dusty landscapes with rice fields and palm trees as well as so many amazing pagodas rich in colour and symbolism. Our best parts were the less well known places but Lake Inle and Bagan are must do places and are still not overrun by tourists. Experience Travel Group tailored a trip for our needs and knew how to do so and suggest appropriate hotels and means of travel.
