Lovely rooms (loved the rocking chairs on balcony) and good pools. Staff all very friendly, helpful and made you feel special. Breakfast was amazing, lots of choice, all very fresh. Spa was good and reasonably priced. Quite hilly and lots of steps around hotel. Good location if you don't want to be right in the centre but still walkable distance to everything.

I really loved my stay at Mandarava. This perspective/review comes from a woman who stayed there alone for some me time. I disclose that because the staff there were so accommodating to my needs. They helped booked taxis for me to go outside of the resort and to the hotel, billing it all to my room. They accommodated a take out/room service order from one of their formal dinner restaurants for me. The front office allowed me to extend my check by about 7 hours (with a reasonable additional charge). All the staff there are so helpful. The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are also so beautiful. I had a suite with a wrap around balcony with a view of the ocean and mountains. It’s too hot to walk to the main strip but you can if you are feeling brave enough, they also supply you with umbrellas during your stay. They free transportation to Karon beach (to and from) about 5-6 times a day. They also have free events you can join at the resort. And I would suggest to add the breakfast. Their buffet breakfast was great. Very happy and would recommend to everyone.

The property was absolutely gorgeous and the 5 pools were definitely amazing. I tried out 3 of them and got lots of glorious sun. The views of the ocean were spectacular not to mention the sunsets. Will definitely be recommending this place to friends & family.

This place is amazing! Make sure you go to yoga on Monday and Wednesday! The instructor was wonderful! All of the staff were kind and courteous. The resort was also very helpful and advised on things to do in the area. Nothing was ever crowded (restaurants, pools, etc). I would absolutely love to come back here!

We had a wonderful stay. Close enough to walk to town but far enough away from the noise. I like the way the resort is set up where there was plenty of space for everyone. Literally had not idea how many people were staying at the resort until breakfast time. The food at the restaurant was delicious. We were fortunate to be able to have their special lantern festival dinner which gave a sample of all types of thai food. Just wanted to give shout out to Sam, Mark, Su and Peary. They really made our stay perfect with their service and smiles.

The breakfast buffet, the swimming pools, lunch and dinner options, intimate rooms with great views or garden rooms with a swimming pool right outside the back porch make the Mandarava unbeatable. The staff are so gracious and polite.

Mandarava Brilliant Hidden Gem
Have been staying @Mandarava over many years and this pristine hidden gem is a joy to stay out. All facilities brilliantly maintained and showing no signs of age. Pristine gardens, pools multiple X 5 sparking, rooms A+ for cleanliness and size.

The regular rooms are 4 to a building, extremely nice rooms and a separate shower bath and a private balcony. There are 5 pools with different features such as a swim up bar. There are a couple of nice restaurants too with a good happy hour. It's very steep but there are shuttles up to your room and back if you want. It's a steep walk down to town too but it was short and we managed it every day no problem. There is a shuttle to the beach 4 times a day too if you want. Overall a fantastic hotel and I would recommend it.

Mandarava was truly an amazing property. The staff was very attentive in every possible way. The food was absolutely incredible, the grounds spectacular, the spa services were divine, swim up pool bars were loads of fun...I could go on and on. As a frequent international traveler, I would put this resort right at the top of my favorite places in the world!

Beautiful hotel but policies were a bit strange
The hotel is beautiful, on a hill so moving around requires a taxi of any kind, Hotel is very clean, the food is good and the rooms are comfortable. The only thing for me was that they didn’t allow my husband to bring me breakfast to the room one morning that I was sick and didn’t want to go to restaurant for breakfast. We were traveling with another couple of friends that were staying across the street from us on another hotel and didn’t let them come to spend a day at the pool, we asked about a day pass but they didn’t give us a solution. They expected my friends to pay for a night at the hotel which didn’t make sense since they were still going to spend money at the hotel eating and drinking. A day pass would have been a good option or a bit of flexibility since we were going to be responsible for them.

Relaxing and comfortable stay. Staff was super friendly. It probably suits people, who are looking for more relaxed holiday away from the hustle and bustle of Patong beach.

Mandarava was pretty beautiful in every way. The pools, the rooms, the grounds were all great. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. It's an easy walk to everything you want to get to, and a cheap tuktuk ride if you don't feel like walking

Mandarava Resort and Spa is beautiful. It is a little oasis tucked into the cliffs of Karon Beach, Phuket Island!! It is close to the beach within walking distance or shuttles that are provided throughout the day. The rooms are spacious, clean and beautiful (the soaking tub is a delight)!! The breakfast is deliciously yummy with a diverse range of Thai and Western food. The staff are more than accommodating, kind and incredibly helpful. They will organize tours and call ahead for car service. Overall, I recommend Mandarava Resort and spa. The staff and the overall ambiance are definitely more than a five star rating!!
