Paradise in an untypical area of Phuket
Upon arrival at the hotel, my boyfriend and I were blown away. The entrance was spectacular! We were greeted by hotel staff with refreshing drinks and cold crisp wet towels. There was a bit of a wait as there were other people in the waiting presumably waiting to check-in or out, but we didn't really mind.
The staff then explained to us that we requested a certain room, but that they would provide us with a different room with a better view. We requested to view both, and they were right about their recommendation. Better view!
Both the rooms we viewed were equally tasteful, refreshing, beautifully decorated, as with the rest of the hotel. It was so comfortable, gorgeous. It proved difficult to leave everyday, if not for the amazing breakfast buffet spread and 3 large, again beautiful swimming pools.
The 2 pools we frequented during our stay both had bars that served drinks and cocktails. 1 even served simple plates. I recommend the banana daiquiris to whoever is reading this. Delicious.
The food served at the hotel restaurant was delectable. We especially remember the tom yam soup and duck curry. Best we've had ever.
Drinks and food were a bit pricey, as can be expected of any great hotel. Well worth it. Location-wise not near buzzing activity, and the nearest beach isn't fantastic, but that's why we were happy to confine ourselves to Mandarava!
To the owner and all the staff at Mandarava, thank you for the wonderful job you have done and keep doing. I will be sharing what a wonderful hotel you have with family and friends. Hope to revisit soon!
