First we must say the Popa Garden Resort Hotel is about an hour and a half from Bagan by taxi. You would definitely want to stay here if you wanted some r & r or were there to see Mount Popa. With that being said, Popa Garden Resort a beautiful resort! Our room was huge, clean, comfortable & had a spectacular view of Mt. Popa, the monastery, & the statue of Buddha. The compound is surrounded by lush plants, trees, grass & has a nice pool. I cannot rave enough about the Popa Garden Resort & I cannot think of a thing to improve the room or service we received. In our opinion, the Popa is by far the best place to stay in Myanmar! We highly recommend the Popa Garden Resort & would love to go back.
