Mandarava Resort and Spa

Absolutely amazing place, couldn’t recommend it more. The rooms could use a little refresh and some minor maintenance but it doesn’t matter so much as the hotel is just fabulous. Location was great for me - on the side, calm spot, but close to shops, restaurants and the beach. I love to walk and was enjoying my daily walks from and to the hotel. Room - Sea Pearl Private Pool Access - was great overall, a bit of maintenance and small refresh would be nice though. Housekeeping staff was doing a great job. I highly recommend updating lower tier rooms to this one - the private space outside and access to a secluded pool was an amazing option. Very good breakfast Great pools, a lot of options Fantastic Thai restaurant Most amazing staff ever - everyone is so friendly and nice! They make you feel comfortable and welcome at literally every second of being there! The whole resort is wonderful :) I wish the bar menu/drinks list would be better and bartenders could prepare drinks of our choice.

What an amazing stay! Right near Karon beach is this gorgeous resort which is nestled into what feels like a lush oasis. Be warned, there is lots of steps and steep inclines to get to the rooms/facilities but they do offer a shuttle service around the resort. We stayed for 5 nights and loved every moment. We enjoyed laying by the pool and using the swim up bars. The staff were all very warm and helpful. We booked a private pool access room. While there was a gate that you could shut to your own rooms pool area, you could still see around the gate-not super private. Overall a great experience!

A really nice venue. Set back from the bustle of Karon Beach. The rooms were big and modern. Excellent air con, nice shower Plenty of pools so easy to find a quiet corner We ate out most of the time and there is a lot of choice nearby. Ate breakfast here and it was really good

Wow where do I start. The rooms and the entire resort is extremely clean. The team is amazing and helpful. The food is very very good. From the breakfast and the room service options. I don’t think there’s a better overall package than the Madarava. The hotel is also walking distance from the beach and from a lot of shops too, but while you’re inside the resort it is very quiet and tranquil. Perfect.

Stunning resort in the hills with 3 pools, 2 restaurants and fully equipped buffet breakfast table with dinner shows. Large well designed air conditioning rooms with all the facilities one would need for a week long stay. All tours pick up from the resort directly. Great service oriented staff and really helpful concierge services.
