Incredible Experience

My wife and I had an incredible experience at this property. Your first views of the property when taking a buggy down to your room are almost too much to take in - you come in on the top of the hill and are escorting down through the property. It's breathtaking. We stayed in a riverfront villa with a pool and it was absolutely exquisite. The sounds of the rushing river and jungle surroundings were incredibly relaxing. We walked to yoga every morning and the yoga studio was open air and overlooked the river - a really incredible way to start your mornings. We then walked through the rice field up to breakfast - where the staff is so lovely and attentive to your every need - not to mention our assigned butler, Marka, who could not have been more attentive if you tried. He was so kind and respectful and took care of whatever we wanted - from dinner reservations, to tours around the island, to drop-offs and pick-ups - whatever we needed, Marka was there when we needed him (we would communicate through WhatsApp). We had dinner one night in a cocoon at Kubu - which was very lovely (however, a very long dinner), but we had a few really lovely meals in town at Mozaic and Nusantara (couldn't get into Locavore). We also had some incredible cocktails at the Night Rooster (same restaurateurs as Locavore/Nusantara). We had a couple lunches in our villa which were awesome - they set up the outside living room for your afternoon feast. The spa was lovely and is also set alongside the river, so you can hear the water while you are getting your treatment. We also did a purification/blessing ceremony that was really nice. One of the town priests came to the property along with a few women who assisted in preparing the offering baskets as well as helped out in the ceremony. They had a local person who told you all about what was going on in the ceremony and the significance of each part. It was very lovely. All in all, I am not sure what more a property can do to make sure you have an incredible stay. We absolutely loved our vacation and look forward to the day we return.…

Competing with the world’s best.

The Mandapa in Ubud is one of the Ritz-Carlton reserves, a range of boutique, luxury hotels in beautiful locations the RC brand hopes will compete with the Amans and the Cheval Blancs etc. of the world. This review is done having stayed at several Amans, Cheval Blancs, Bali 4 Seasons resorts. Stayed in a rice padi view villa. Pros: - Nestled in a verdant valley where the Ayung river winds around the resort, the view from the lobby is breathtaking. While the Mandapa’s lobby lacks the 4 Seasons Sayan’s iconic lead up to the view, it has an equally commanding sweep of the valley below. - Some have criticised the dark, dim look of the rooms and villas. It is true the villa was shadowed and lighting dim but I do understand the purposeful attempt to create a look different from its competitors- 4 Seasons, Como Shamballah etc. It is a rich dark wood similar to the volcanic soil of Bali and the bright colours instill a wow factor to impress vs. being focussed on restive alone like it’s competitors. Having stayed at other Bali resorts, the different tack taken was something I could see target the jet set crowd who holiday and have been to many other resorts. It is designed to stand out in your mind. - Our butler Marka has to be commended. While relatively new at 2 years with the RC, and perhaps not as fluently accented as his colleagues who studied in the West, we never had any issues with communication and he has a sincerity and refreshingly honest engagement that made chats very pleasant. He was respectful but insightful and honest about life in Bali. He was constantly checking in on us and even when off duty, insisted on being available 24/7 and arranging transport late at night from restaurants, checking in that we had gotten into the taxi and were safely back at the RC every time. Marka saw our safety and our having all our needs attended to as a matter of personal pride and it showed. He was the highlight of our trip and gave the personalised service that is essential to compete at the class of resort the RC reserves are looking at. We were in a word- impressed. - The Kubu restaurant with its dining bamboo cocoons overlooking the Ayung river are amongst the most romantic settings we have ever been in for a restaurant. It was utterly spellbinding and the food was no slouch either :-) All things considered, I’d call it the best restaurant in Ubud at the moment. We also tried Locavore, Mozaic etc. - the seamless flow of transport to and from your villa via golf carts to waiting cars at the lobby etc. is all timed to make things as convenient as possible for guests. - the little gifts and arrangements each day were of a standard aligned to the world’s best. Cons: - I can only really name a slightly inconsistent housekeeping. But this is if you set the standard as against the world’s best which is what you are paying for at the Mandapa RC. Everything was cleaned and spotless. But the world’s best pay attention to delay. Arranging your shoes neatly. Ensuring extra towels where they observe you use them most etc. are all things superb housekeeping do to keep consistency in that attention to detail the butlers and all other areas of a top resort offer. There was a day this was evident but otherwise it was decent and clean housekeeping but nothing beyond the expected of a good 5 star. Verdict: An excellent stay and worthy of the aspiration to be amongst the world’s best. We will return and will try other RC reserves based on this. We would request for our excellent butler Marka again upon our return.…

We stayed at Mandapa ,a Ritz Carlton Reserve for few days . The resort is located in the hidden peaceful place ~ little far but worth the stay. First arrival : Unique warm welcome with Balinese style welcome drinks and the view of Lobby is just jaw drop. I personally recommend to visit the Lobby in the night time. Rooms : The designs of the villas have been inspired by the cultures , traditional and lifestyle of Balinese. we love the traditional Balinese outfits that set up in villa as it s very nice touch . We stayed at the villa which have rice field so do not be surprised if you might be awaken by the birds in the early morning. Restaurant and other facilities : We very love visiting the spa which is located along the river. The treatments and wellness programs are being meticulously designed to utilize beyond techniques , natural herbs used as medical remedies in conjunction with old- fashioned pampering. The main pool was very serene and peaceful with rice field view. Highly recommended to take a walk through the rice field. We truly enjoyed the dinner at Kubu Restaurant and the breakfast at Restaurant with the view of river and herb garden. Some menus incorporated healthy, nutritious and tasty. Staffs : we had Diwa who took care us during stay and he was amazing ,very good take care and helpful. We could say all staffs of Mandapa are amazing, they just love what they are doing and the results turn great. We were very impressed since the beginning until the last moments that we left the resort. …
