Amazing rooms!
Despite seeing reviews saying the Mangosteen was quite isolated, it was only a 6-7 minute walk to a few shops/restaurants/bars, so the location is not bad at all. The free beach shuttle works like clockwork.
However the reviews commenting on the fairly high Mangosteen prices for food and drinks were quite accurate - when comparing them to locally run restaurants etc, but as a resort, the prices were in keeping with other Thai resorts and pretty close to UK prices. For example, a glass of wine was 290 Baht, roughly £6.50 (all wine in Thailand is similarly priced in restaurants/resorts).
The beer price at 160 Baht for a small bottle is quite high, but the cheaper minibar prices do make up for that.
This is a positive review...excellent quality food, amazing - big - rooms with fantastic bathrooms.
The staff were 99% very friendly and efficient. The pool area is good, albeit fairly small.
Do not miss the Thursday night Asian buffet, the Monday night Thai one sounds similarly good.
