Oliver`s thanks & message to our anual and future guests:

 ".... we as everyone else got totally overwhelmed by the very big increase of tourists to Myanmar so also Ngapali Beach. We are very happy that we could help so many of our Laguna guests to arrange flights and hotels upcountry through our over 16 years friendship network within the Myanmar young tourism industry...;

At same time we experienced a very much increase and support to our social - aid - educational as well medical fields in Myanmar at different parts of the country ;
- Ayeyarwaddy Delta - Northern & Central Rakhine - Bago Division - Magway Dry Zone - Yangon outskirts -

This combined with the very popular increase of bookings at Laguna Lodge ECO Hotel Ngapali Beach Front left me less time in Ngapali as usual, mainly getting fore and back as much as possible. The reason why I was less in Ngapali the past weeks; I did not want to neglegt the many people we started to support in Myanmar since many years on our private initiatives, as well with the strong support from many international friends.

 So,- many of you, to the less fortunated as well through an un expected event kicked out of their daily routine in Myanmar by cyclones Nargis, Giri etc. or Tatschilake earthquake, or just Dr Julias & Dr Axels dental public health education projects.

We will for sure continue and increase these works specially in medical fields as: ENT, Eye, Plastic Surgery, Dental, Orthopaedics and many more ( medical experts are invited to join ) but also in the edicational field with strong partners from Europe to build more schools in most rural and remote areas for an even better educated Myanmar young generation. Talking to many of our traditional long stay guests which come back every year for weeks - they all agree to continue this work.

So I am happy that we were able to get 95 % of all our jobs are done very well according to our guest commends,- for the 5 % which had different expectations and we might could not always meet them, I want to apologize and offer you to come back as we take your comments very serious and working to implement them now already and soon more.

Our Staff, " Myanmar Women in the upcomingTourism Industry”, would be happy to show you the improvements we and they made - let`s have a drink on us and give us the pleasure to stay firm in the traditional of Myanmar hospitality with the strong move to always further improve our services.

As many can read in forums, a modern international style Hotel as many at Ngapali we are not,-- we are a small family run " Home on the Beach ", a feeling we like to share with you - Are You Ready?"
