Pristine Lotus Resort
Just like what its name suggests, this property is built to create a pristine experience back to nature. A slightly away from the lakeshore, its location boasts for a more being-in-rome simplicity that allows you to get close to the locals. Floating Cottages and Inle Lotus Villas are built on the both side of the water, while the former will be a bit secluded from the main road and offer better privacy. Jacuzzi and sauna are free of charge at the fitness center and most travelers would love to bike around the villages nearby. One possible downside, however, is that it only has one restaurant and you need to walk a bit to find other decent options around the resort.
