Great hotel with great service
It was my first time to Phuket and I really enjoyed my stay at the Mangosteen. The service was excellent and the staff was super-friendly and very helpful. I totally enjoyed the complimentary fruits in the room and the daily breakfast (the banana shakes on our last day there were just awesome) as well as the spectacular views and the swimming pool. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the high ceilings were a big plus. The bathroom design was also beautiful.
As for the location, it's close to naiharn, which is a great beach with a lagoon and a great view of the sunset. there are free shuttles from the hotel to the beach but you need to time your activities well or you could be left behind and have to pay a hefty cab fee to get back. There's also a free shuttle to Rawai beach in the evening but I only went there during the day so can't really speak of the nightlife in the area. Getting to other parts of the island could be tricky if you try to take public transport and extremely overpriced if you take a taxi. What we ended up doing was renting a scooter bike with the help of the hotel staff.
overall, it's a great little hotel with a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. if you're not afraid to pay a little or to be a little daring with your transportation options the location's not too bad either
