The Royal Nadi is simply lovely. A bit outside of dusty and hot Nyuang Shwe, it's close enough (a few minutes drive or about a 20 minute bike ride) into town. The setting is beautiful, with a great sun deck overlooking a beautiful pond, with spectacular sunset views. The service is 5 STAR, without a doubt. The dining manager and staff, as well as the chef himself, were all incredibly friendly and sincerely kind. We were a couple traveling with a parent too, and we all enjoyed coming back at the end of the day to relax and enjoy drinks and dinner. We arranged Inle Lake tours and a winery dinner trip from reception, and again, great service. It is very peaceful, and the rooms lovely. We had a "garden view villa" that actually overlooked a small pond and for us was more than expected! Can't recommend this place enough!!
