I've stayed in dozens of hotels through Hotels.com and confess I tend to mostly rate those that i like. That being said, I want to voice a strong recommendation for the Bagan Lodge due to its extraordinary design features, superb maintenance, and excellent staff. The rooms (villas) are expansive and have plenty of room for reading, desk work, or conversation. If weather permits, the large outside porches are a bonus. The morning breakfast is as hearty as you want it to be, and the evening meals are prepared to nearly perfection. If you want to try a new cocktail at the poolside bar, take a chance with the Bagan Sunset, or something like that. This is a splendid property, fairly priced, and will be a nice complement to your trip to Bagan.
