A new lake experience !
Inle Princess Resort lies on the east bank of Inle Lake near Magyizin village.
It`s architecture and philosophy is based on the history, tradition and culture of SHAN. Inspite of being situated in the middle of the reed-belt, it is surrounded by a peaceful tropical garden with colourful trees and beautiful exotic flowers.
Inle Princess has 46 chalets, 27with lake view and 19 with garden view.
Lake view chalets, have a terrace facing to the lake. Apart from this ,room garden view chalets have the same facilities,surrounded by the beautiful garden and small water ponds.
Each room has a glass window that provides a light filled living and sleeping area. (see photo # 4 !) The bed is positioned usually in the center of the chalet beneath the high rooftop. Facilities include a writing desk, coffee table, divan, chair and wardrobe containing safe deposit box. Complimentary tea, coffee and mineral water are also provided. The bathroom has bath tub with hot and cold shower.
Unique Quality: The unique quality of this hotel lies in its position in the midle of the east bank with nearly equal distances to the major cultural places.
A minor flaw is yet the closeness to a buddhist monastery, where monks celebrate holy songs and recitals the whole night long, well amplifyed and sleep-disturbing.
Food and service are good, people friendly; the restaurant is rather big and impersonal.

Heho Airport to hotel transfer
We will be staying at Inle Princess Resort which is on the lake. We would like to know whether we should book a hotel transfer from Heho airport to the hotel. Can you please let me know what was your experience of getting the taxi and boat on your own and how much it cost and whether there is much room for bargaining. I was reading how the taxi drivers form a cartel. Is it similar for boats too? Thanks very much.
Re: Heho Airport to hotel transfer
You will need to book a taxi through your hotel as Heho airport is quite remote from the hotels on the lake. We paid about US$30 but it may have increased as times have been tough. We did not stay at the Inle Princess but at one similar (see my tips).
I am pretty sure that there are deals between the hotel owners and the water taxi drivers. What we did was simply go down to the lake and wait for a water taxi and luckily managed to organise that he would take us around for the next couple of days without the hotel owner being an intermediary. I think we might have been lucky!! The other way you might consider is to go into the local townsite as soon as you arrive and ask around. Similarly, you might ask your taxi driver if he knows anyone in the town who could show you around.
Either way not many people were around when we were there (July 2006) and I suspect much fewer now.
As an aside if you are flying back through Heho check before you let the taxi go when the plane is leaving. We spent a very frustrating 5 hours waiting for a flight with absolutely nothing to do and nowhere to walk or sight see.The airport is pretty basic - one basic shop.
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask. Have a look at my tips...Inle was beautiful but like most of Burma suffering under the regime.

Thanks albaaust.
Re: Heho Airport to hotel transfer
If you can arrange airport pickup, that's your best bet. The Heho taxi mafia are tough. A year ago, the price for a car was $18-20, but when I went two months ago they were asking for $30. Yes, the airport is a long way from Inle Lake (or Nyaunghswe, Kalaw, and Taunggyi) but that's still a big chunk of money to pay. The other option is the share taxi (they also leave from the same parking lot) that can take you to the Shwe Nyaung junction) for 10,000 kyat per person. After that, you can get in another share taxi (or even a motor bike!) for the rest of the trip to Nyaungshwe for another 2,000-3,000 kyat.
Re: Heho Airport to hotel transfer
Thanks bangdong. Yes, we figured to avoid the hassle to order the hotel taxi and boat pick up. They quoted USD 37, which doesn't seem too bad considering if they can charge you $30 just for the taxi.
Re: Heho Airport to hotel transfer
Another thought...make sure you have your camera ready and setting on action as you will see quite a few sights along the way from Heho to your hotel from your taxi (land or water)
