The Mandarava Resort was impecable. Spacious and clean rooms, plenty of pools and bars and the service was second to none. The buffet breakfast was well worth it and the Charm Thai Restaurant was amazing. Room service was also delivered quickly and with a friendly smile. The complimentary shuttle to Karon Beach made it easy to get to the local shops, restaurants and have a dip in the ocean. I would recommend staying at the Mandarava Resort to anyone looking for luxury accomodation in Phuket.

An amazing hotel. Rooms were modern and comfortable with lovely touches such as robe, beach bag, toiletries and replenished water. The bed was extremely comfortable and room cleaned daily. Multiple pool areas with plentiful loungers and excellent pool bars. Wonderful restaurants with excellent breakfast buffet, reasonable prices and happy hour offers for food and drinks. Friendly and hard working staff. Room service and access to the gym and games room. Buggy service for suitcases. Walkable to Karon Beach. Highly recommended.

Overall, our stay was pleasant, and most aspects were satisfactory. However, if you're looking for a more modern experience, this might not be the right choice. While the property offers plenty of character compared to newer accommodations, it lacks the luxurious feel of a 5-star resort. The breakfast area was overcrowded, making the experience feel cramped, and the facilities seemed outdated. We stayed in one of the suites with a private pool, which was clean and private, but not particularly memorable. If I were to return, I’d likely opt for a more affordable room, as the suite didn’t offer anything significantly special. Overall, the staff were okay, neither rude nor particularly welcoming compared to other places we’ve stayed in Phuket. One notable issue was when we asked if we could purchase the welcome drink we were served upon arrival. The staff spent about 20 minutes calling various people to check if it was possible, which felt unnecessarily complicated for such a simple request. Another aspect I personally found uncomfortable was the reception area. It was very hot, with no air conditioning or fans running, making waiting around quite unpleasant as you’d quickly start sweating. It was a nice stay overall, but not one that stood out.

We had a fantastic stay! The rooms were stunning, well-maintained, and the private pool with its own entrance added a unique and luxurious touch. The service was exceptional, making the experience even more enjoyable. I’m already looking forward to staying here again. That said, there’s room for improvement. While the buffet breakfast offered a vast variety, some of the local Thai dishes could use a little more refinement - could be a lot tastier. Also, the coffee was quite disappointing—this is definitely an area that needs attention. Overall, a wonderful stay with minor tweaks needed to make it perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel was amazing and our room (Tropicana Superior) was lovely and very spacious. Pool areas were relaxing, clean and always managed to get a sunbed. The staff were hard working and very friendly, always happy to help. Good range of food to choose fromat breakfast. Great location, close to main restaurants and Karon Beach, which is also very nice.

We loved our stay at the Mandarava. We had a free room upgrade on arrival- Coral grand deluxe room which was beautiful looking out onto the coconut pool. The resort its self was beautiful, very clean, several pools so they were never too busy. The breakfast buffet had a good variety and was very tasty- the drinks were very good! They allowed me to take some food back for my partner who was not feeling well one day. The gym is well equipped for a hotel with dumbbells and machines. The only negative would be the price of drinks and for dinners/lunches at the hotel are extortionate compared to if you go into town so we tended to go into town for food and drink.
