I can't say enough about Mandarava Resort! This place is an absolute slice of paradise, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional staff. They are the epitome of friendliness and hospitality, consistently going above and beyond to make your stay perfect. A member of our travel party broke their leg during our trip, and the resort team was nothing short of incredible. They went out of their way to accommodate her, making sure she was comfortable and had everything she needed. This level of care and genuine concern is rare and truly unforgettable. Mandarava Resort isn't just a beautiful place to stay; it's a place where you feel genuinely cared for. We will be back!

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.

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.
