We had a great time here, nice clean bungalows with a great beach right at your doorstep. The owners are extremly friendly and helpfull. The breakfast was good with both... read more western and Myanmar choices. And also the whole resort is powered by solar panels, seems like the right way to go.

  Beautiful place and only 1of 2 beach bungalows in the South where foreigners may stay. Dream beach with lots of shade and nice hammocks on your bungalow balcony to chill.... read more Watch out for sandflies. Book in advance (specify the number of beds in a bungalow - like singles would still prefer to have one big bed rather than one tiny one in a row of 2 or 3). The bungalows only have 2 USB / phone plugs, so you need to charge your camera gear, laptop etc in the restaurant. It's all solar powered and there were no power cuts!
It's a great place for day excursions into the village, pagodas and other beaches. Driving up the hill and especially on the jungle path inside the compound is not recommended unless you have driving experience in Asia/ on narrow, unpaved, mountainous roads! Just park in the village and walk (a good 40min with luggage) or better organise a motorbike taxi for the last stretch.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! More

  I would recommend hiring scooters to get to Paradise beach bungalows to allow you to explore the other gorgeous beaches nearby. The restaurant is excellent with a good choice. The... read more owners and staff are really helpful.

  It was fully booked when I arrived (nice walk through the jungle). It was to late to return to Dawei (last minibus at 9am) and I asked if I could... read more pitch my tent and pay to use their facilities.

They first said ok but for 20000ks including breakfast (luckily). When I started asking for a lower price (my own tent and mattress on the beach) then they say not possible after calling the boss.

They sent me back to the village saying I could sleep in the monastery. It turned out being impossible then a lot of people for involved including the village chief, a phone call to the police... I was supposed to go back to Dawei (3h mostly night ride on a moto-taxi with my big backpack) and pay 20000ks. I refused, too dangerous and too expensive.

They called back the boss of the paradise bungalows and he finally accepted me camping for a mere 10000ks including nothing, 100% benefit (my own tent and mattress, on the beach not in the compound, ok to use restaurant's toilet and an old place with bucket water for shower).

Not very welcoming, not really what you usually find in Burma... the beach is very nice though, could see the sunset and sunrise then leave early to catch the 9am bus.

  These beach bungalows are unique in Myanmar. They are simple but comfortable, and you have a direct view towards a beautiful, quiet beach. Staff are very friendly and the restaurant... read more is reasonable. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit difficult to reach, but there are plans to improve the path to the bungalows. There's no WiFi or reception, but that's a great part of the experience.

  We found our PARADISE! We spent 4 amazing nights in this place, and:

The beach is really beautiful and peaceful
Bungalows are simple but comfortable and clean
Staff and... read more the owners are very friendly and super helpful

About the price... it is seems to be expensive, BUT the package during the low season is include everything that you need! And when you will see the only road that goes there, you will appreciate this option.

Bottom line - we would recommend this place to all of our friends! Thank you Paradise for great experience and hope to see you soon!

  Myself and 2 friends stayed here over New Years and a week after and it was awesome. It really is Paradise, the beach alone is worth the visit. I would... read more like to focus on the management and customer service which i personally felt was exceptional, above and beyond expectations. They couldn't do enough for myself and friends. They would cook us special meals, cook for us even if the kitchen was closed, ask us if we needed anything from town i.e Rum, Limes, coke and the most valued commodity Ice and bring it back for us and even letting us know the football scores. But most importantly they were very very good hosts. You could have a laugh with them and all the guys had a brilliant sense of humour, we'd give them stick and they would give you stick back just as good! Banter, a very valued trait to us British. Big Boss, Medium Boss and Little Boss were brilliant hosts and as a group we will always remember the laughs, great food and lasting memories.

  There are only 2 resorts in this part of Dawei... We stayed in them both for a few days, and we can recommend you this one the better for many... read more reasons: the environment is more authentic, more savage, the landscape is simply beautiful... you will feel you are one of the first steping on its virgin beach surrounded by jungle, but still it’s a great base to get easily to the main road and visit every beach with your scooter (we stayed first in Sin Htauk resort, but it was quite far from the road and for 1 or 2 nights it was ok, but later on we got tired of doing the entire way again and again). Appart of that, staff and guests made us feel much more welcome and were much friendly... you will feel how everyone is talking to each other, sharing enthusiastic conversations at the restaurant-terrace, playing board games, having fun around the fire at the beach by night, enjoying gorgeous sunsets, wading into the luminescent plankton... But overall, we are very thankful with them cause my boyfriend got very sick and got fever (he ate some contaminated food at a restaurant a few hours before arriving into Paradise Beach), and all the staff helped and were super volunteering to assist us with any of his needs. In fact, the owner took me to the nearest village by scooter to visit the local doctor and try to get some antibiothic and medicines, took me to top up my phone and waited for me to get in contact by phone with my own doctor, offered me to arrange everything for us to get to the hospital in Dawei by taxi (finally, it was not necessary) and they were very concerned and asked everytime they saw me for him until he got better. And then, they prepared every special meal he needed until he was 100% recovered. We can only thank them for all their humanity, willingness and for every gesture and help they offered us... 5 stars staff!!!

  I stayed in a tent for 2 nights and had an enjoyable time. A towel, blanket, sleeping pad, and pillow are provided and the tent is only 15,000 kyat, under... read more trees and right on the beach.

It's a gorgeous location and quite private since it's a little difficult to get there, although the way is beautiful. If you have a motorbike and feel comfortable riding on it, then you can take yourself - the path is like a very narrow hiking forest trail with places you could fall on the side, so go slow. Or hire a motorbike taxi, or walk but it's a long trek.

I read some of the negative reviews and yes, there are a few dogs (friendly), so do your duty to put your food away as you would if you were camping at home. If you bring your own tent or leave anything outside, be aware that you are responsible for any damage, especially since you're not signing any contract that the hotel is responsible. All my things were fine except a plastic bag I left out that had some food scraps in it. And, the food is about twice the price as it would be outside (3,000-4,000 kyat) but it is probably because they have to travel quite a way by motorbike to bring it in and can't bring it in bulk on a vehicle. A more expensive resort located on the same pristine, private, sandy beach surrounded by gorgeous nature would have even more exorbitant prices and most guests wouldn't think anything of it, so another $1 is nothing to complain about. Food was tasty and breakfast was delicious with many options.

The staff was friendly although they did seem bored. They were helpful when spoken with. Free water refill at the restaurant. Tent shower was a bucket bath and a bit far from the tents but that was fine. Overall it was a very nice experience and I would go back.

  I spent there for 3 days.
About 2 hours drive from Dawei by car.
(you can rent a motorcycle from Dawei and drive there directly)

You need to walk... read more about 40mins to reach this bungalow or can hire motorcycle with only 3000MMK.

There was no connection for mobile phone and that’s my favourite part cos you can talk to each other as a real situation.

Electricity can get only a limited period.

Good Water supply.

Foods are of reasonable prices and delicious.

Don’t forget to go Grandfather beach to get a new experience.

  Sad that the place is destroying its uniqueness !

Stayed 12 days in my own tent (for which i paid the same as when i would stay in one... read more of theirs (15.000 kyet)

Two days before i left my tent, air matress and hammock were destroyed by one of the dogs that roam the beach and stay close to the bungalows, when i showed Mike the damage who seems to run things there as he is brother of the co-owner, the idiot started laughing ! Saying it also happens to their own tents... In the two weeks i was there there were 5 tents ripped open (one only because the girls left some cookies inside) also guests regularely have their belonging taken when they go swimming and even stuff got taken from a baby stroller parked next to the balcony, the dogs took some new diapers and ripped them up (offcourse the remnants were not picked up as they dont care about the place)

When I told him his reaction was very unpolite he got up in my face and started shouting that i could leave if i wanted, that night he and the other staff had once again finished 2 bottles of whisky starting in afternoon and still having to serve dinner etc ! They never thought solutions and offer me a tent for the night, they left me to make my own arrangements, luckily my hammock was still sleepable but with huge tears and holes that got bigger as night progressed.

They only care about money !!!
Not once do they check if you are ok, they even made a girl pay 1500 kyet that she was short when she exchanged 45$ at a horrible rate in order to pay for her two nights in a bungalow, mind, she had stayed there with a relative already 2 weeks and had by then already paid close to 1.500.000kyet all together ... so that 1500 should have been no problem !

When a little boy 4 years old slept in his uncles bungalow one night instead of with his parents (who were return customers !!! ) they made the uncle pay for double occupancy, the same boy was blatantly refused breakfast when he showed up at 09:35 which was technically 5 minutes late... and offcourse they made them pay it anyhow ...

Then they have installed 10 bright streetlights right on the beach, destroying the natural feeling and atmosphere at night, also you now can not see the magical luminescent plankton that the beach has every night and the stars are not visible anymore ...

They stopped putting people in tents when i left, also because people started to leave early being scared of the dogs and some had witnessed the rude outburst the night before and did not want to stay anymore

The portions in the restaurant are ridiculously small and you should really go to the thai restaurant up on the hill because they serve delicious food with a smile and at a better price plus they serve nice fruitshakes!!!

The common bathroom for the tents was never cleaned nor do the staff clean the beach, leaving it up to some guests who simply get horrified with the plastic, the guests are then left to burn the rubbish on the campfire at night

The only good person working there is Tura who actually thinks and cares about the guests, he even helped out when one of the local builders who is constructing 5 new bungalows there , came plowing into my bike with his bike, driving on the wrong side of the road and too fast ... offcours Mike and Mao wanted me to pay half of the cost of the repair (103.000kyet) but i had luckily taken fotos of the scene of the accident and stuck my ground when trying to resolve the matter ! Thanx again Tura !!!
