Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Mandarava Resort And Spa is often praised for its stunning tropical gardens. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, with some offering panoramic hillside and sea views from comfortable balconies, along with extras like beach bags and flip flops provided for convenience. While some found the breakfast average compared to other Thai hotels, dining at the Charm Thai restaurant receives high marks. The hillside location involves many steps, though complimentary transport is available to mitigate this.

the free shuttle to the beach was so useful, especially with the location on a hill. i appreciated the number of pools available.. each offering a unique experience. the traditional thai restaurant served delicious food. yoga classes were a lovely way to start the mornings.
I found the limited information available in the room about resort facilities a bit inconvenient. A detailed map would have been helpful.

relaxing hillside stay

convenient transportdelicious cocktailkind staffmany steps
The resort offered complimentary transport from my room. it was a convenient service, especially with the hillside location. i appreciated the breakfast team too. The lady who prepared banana pancakes and the gentlemen at the omelet station were very kind. also, i enjoyed dinner at the charm thai restaurant. The food and cocktails were delicious.
i found many steps throughout the resort because it is located on a hill. it is something to consider for those with mobility issues.

There were five pools to choose from, and i especially liked the mango pool. It was fine. the grounds are beautifully maintained. It feels like a jungle! the resort is built on a hillside.

i enjoyed the spacious room, it was a superior double or twin room garden view. the room already had flip flops, beach towels and a beach bag which was a nice touch. i also found the staff to be very kind .
the room layout seemed poor, and facilities felt dated. there was no information in the room about resort facilities. the lighting in the bathroom was not great, it made shaving difficult.

The buggy wait time was excessive , and it created a real problem considering the large size of the hotel. The staff seemed unable to accommodate special requests , and their standard reply was, 'I'm sorry this is not possible'.
