Rupar Mandalar Resort — Hotel in Mandalay District

We stayed here for four nights in a Premier Suite Twin and enjoyed our stay. We arrived well before check-in time, but we were allowed to check-in and only had to wait a short time for our room to be ready. The room was luxurious, clean, spacious and very well appointed - perfect. We didn't pay extra for a garden or pool view so our balcony view was not that exciting, overlooking the fence at the rear of the hotel - but that is fair enough - however we did get some drain smells when sitting out there in the evening (I think we were close to the lid of the septic tank as we could hear water rushing into it) - but this was the only thing wrong and it wasn't a deal-breaker. The public spaces, swimming pool and restaurant area were all excellent. The staff were all very friendly, polite and helpful. We took all our meals in the restaurant and the food and entertainment were excellent. My wife has a range of food intolerances and the Maitre D' (Bobo) was very understanding and ensured that her food was specially prepared to cater for her needs, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is outside of the centre of Mandalay with not much around it, making it reasonably peaceful, and it was easy enough to get transport to come and pick us up. Being Mandalay there were a lot of mosquitoes around the hotel and we were able to request mosquito nets for our beds (note that these aren't provided automatically, you have to ask). I would certainly return to this hotel if I ever come back to Mandalay and would recommend...

The Rupar Mandalar resort has been one of the highlights of my visit to Mandalay and a truly wonderful discovery. From the moment of arrival I was warmly received and treated as a treasured guest in this incredibly relaxing setting. ||||The serenity and freshness of the design - along with the ample greenery and birdsong gives the feel of an oasis amidst a typically hot and humid climate and the three swimming pools, super comfortable loungers and friendly, attentive service make for an incredibly relaxing and revitalizing experience. ||||The general manager Kyrie, goes out of his way to ensure that all his guests have the finest experience possible and attends to requests by going the extra mile, also making one feel incredibly welcome.The food I ordered was also superb in quality, taste, portion size - and excellent value. ||||I will certainly return to the Rupar Mandalay whenever possible and highly recommend this resort to anybody visiting, or just wanting to treat themself in Mandalay. Thank you for the outstanding service...

I stayed at Rupar Mandalar for three nights in early March 2020. This is a very lovely hotel with well-kept grounds. The staff is warm and gracious. The breakfast buffet is very nice. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The only issue I had was with noise. There is a very large construction project right next to the hotel, with a significant amount of noise from around 8AM to 5PM. I was given a very nice corner room facing the pool area ..... the view was great. Sadly, though, it was next to a neighborhood full of dogs. Every night from midnight to around 3AM there was an unending chorus of barking dogs which made it difficult to sleep. Also, there was a party in the pool area one evening with alcohol-fueled Karaoke singing until around 10PM. I did not mention any of this to the hotel managers as there was really nothing they could have done to reduce the noise. This would have been a perfect stay except for lots and...
