My stay at Mandarava Resort in Phuket was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality and stunning atmosphere completely exceeded my expectations. The resort itself is breathtaking – a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and tropical beauty. Every corner feels thoughtfully designed, creating an aesthetic that is both elegant and serene. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, offering the ideal retreat after exploring Phuket. What truly set Mandarava apart was the service. The team went above and beyond in every way, anticipating needs before I even had to ask. A special highlight for me was the surprise birthday treats – such a thoughtful gesture that made my celebration truly unforgettable. The resort offers the perfect balance between relaxation and indulgence, whether by the pools, at the spa, or enjoying the vibrant dining experiences. Every detail was handled with care, making me feel not just like a guest, but truly valued. Mandarava isn’t just a hotel – it’s an experience. If you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and outstanding service in Phuket, look no further. I can’t wait to return!

It all starts when you check in. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. This extends to all staff who work at the Mandarava. Always happy to greet you and assist you wherever possible. Most importantly, it is all very genuine. The property is well maintained, in particular the grounds and gardens. Breakfast is a treat with a good range of food options. The restaurant provides a nice atmosphere with great views and is fairly open. If the weather turns, the staff will pull down the blinds to ensure you are not inconveniences and will just as quickly pull them back up once any bad weather has moved on. This was our third time back and for good reason. I can't say this about many hotels I've stayed in but this one actually offers good value for money. Our next trip to Phuket will make it our fourth.

Wonderful property with huge rooms. Lots of hill climbing to get to places but can easily ring reception and they will send someone to pick you up Staff were so accommodating and helpful..except maybe the lady that checked my room on departure. I felt like i was in prison and she was doing a search for contraband lol Both restaurants were great especially the Thai one Pools were lovely and very clean Is walking distance to town but you will work up a bit ofa sweat ;)

Had an amazing stay at this resort. The rooms were really spacious and so comfortable to sleep in. The pools were never full so it was super easy to get a sun lounger and the free towels to use were so handy. The staff at the pool bars were so helpful especially at the Pomelo pool which was also over 12s only therefore relaxed and quiet. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming and the shuttle bus service around the resort was a great service. I would definitely recommend a stay at this resort if you are heading to the Karon beach area.

This was one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at. It’s like living in a treehouse in the jungle. Location is great if you’re looking for a quiet place to escape the craziness but also still close to everything. Room service was excellent and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The check in was first class as way the rest of the resort. Highly recommend!

Situated in the heart of the Karon hilly areas this beautiful hotel offers all the convenience of walking distance to the shops, restaurants and beaches. Tasty breakfast and nicely decorated rooms and 5 smaller swimming pools with bars in them are very inviting and relaxing for everyone seeking comfort and pleasure. Well equipped gym is also a plus. Staff is really pleasant and friendly willing to help at any time. The only thing is you should be prepared to walk tens of steep steps to your room. Better be fit. Loved it here.
