What guests think

Mandarava Resort and Spa, Karon Beach is a lush, hillside retreat praised for its friendly staff, spacious rooms, and multiple pools with swim‑up bars, offering a quiet setting within walking distance of Karon Beach and town.

Many guests highlight clean, well-kept grounds and convenient buggy shuttles around the steep property. Common trade-offs include lots of stairs, a beach shuttle with limited hours, and occasional room quirks like weak shower pressure or dated elements. Breakfast and on-site dining are generally well liked, though a few mention average coffee, higher prices than town, or crowded, warm breakfast areas. A great choice for a relaxing, resort-style stay near the action without the bustle.

Situated in the heart of the Karon hilly areas this beautiful hotel offers all the convenience of walking distance to the shops, restaurants and beaches. Tasty breakfast and nicely decorated rooms and 5 smaller swimming pools with bars in them are very inviting and relaxing for everyone seeking comfort and pleasure. Well equipped gym is also a plus. Staff is really pleasant and friendly willing to help at any time. The only thing is you should be prepared to walk tens of steep steps to your room. Better be fit. Loved it here.

Beautiful luxurious hotel set in beautiful surroundings in tropical woodland above Karon beach. Everything you need for a relaxing break away from the huddle and bustle - friendly and helpful staff - great pools and pool bars - two restaurants. Daily replenishment of bottled water was a nice touch. Shuttle to beach ( walk of 15 mins) was handy - although Beach is beautiful it is very busy and a different vibe - nice for a change but not as classy as the Hotel.

It was our second time staying at the Mandarava and it was amazing as usual. Accommodation was great, we had a pool access room and wouldn’t go any other way. There are 5 pools and numerous pool bars which we especially took advantage of during happy hour - very fair cocktail prices. The only 2 things I would critique are the TVs and the in room service. The TV’s don’t allow you to connect your phone to it to watch things like Netflix. Especially on the days where it rained or stormed. I wish they had Smart TV’s. The pizza and garlic bread were terrible both times.. barely cooked cheese and a very dry base. Other than that, everything was incredible and I would recommend anybody to stay here!

4 night stay at the start of our honeymoon. Bedroom and other parts of hotel were spotlessly clean. Staff friendly & welcoming. Breakfast buffet was very good in terms of choice and taste - regularly replenished. Very hilly resort hotel, so check out options if you have mobility problems. We had one maintenence problem with the ceiling fan during our stay, but it was dealt with efficiently, and hotel staff could not apologize enough. They left a bouquet of flowers in our room by way of apology, and even offered to change our room including an upgrade. We declined, as we only had 2 nights left, plus the problem had been fully resolved without any inconvenience to us. Hotel is located just 5 minutes walk from a few local shops, restaurants and massage parlours, and only about 10-15 minutes walk to Karon Beach and the town centre.

Had an amazing stay at this resort. The rooms were really spacious and so comfortable to sleep in. The pools were never full so it was super easy to get a sun lounger and the free towels to use were so handy. The staff at the pool bars were so helpful especially at the Pomelo pool which was also over 12s only therefore relaxed and quiet. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming and the shuttle bus service around the resort was a great service. I would definitely recommend a stay at this resort if you are heading to the Karon beach area.

The property was pretty but not very accommodating. We had a circumstance beyond our control of needing to adjust our stay and they absolutely wouldn't help us and sent out a junior staff and wouldn't let us speak to a supervisor...they blamed Expedia for not being flexible when in actuality it was their resort as Expedia said they would approve our change though Expedia did not give that to me in writing...its extra cost we are out of pocket unless Expedia can do something for us retroacively. They wanted me to call Expedia from there but id have wasted what precious little time we had in this area. My advice to Expedia is not uae hotels that don't have a cancelation policy as life happens and sometimes needs changes. They nect accommodation id booked was emailing me and stating so accommodatingly that if we needed to cancel or change anything for any reason that we could up to 48 hrs before. I had tried to adjust our stay at Mandarava 30 days before we got there and they would not help us....sadly looks like we're out $$$$ Please drop this resort or require a change in their inflexible policy aa it seems a bit prehistoric.

They are the epitome of friendliness and hospitality, consistently going above and beyond to make your stay perfect. A member of our travel party broke their leg during our trip, and the resort team was nothing short of incredible. They went out of their way to accommodate her, making sure she was comfortable and had everything she needed. This level of care and genuine concern is rare and truly unforgettable. Mandarava Resort isn't just a beautiful place to stay; it's a place where you feel genuinely cared for. We will be back!

It all starts when you check in. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. This extends to all staff who work at the Mandarava. Always happy to greet you and assist you wherever possible. Most importantly, it is all very genuine. The property is well maintained, in particular the grounds and gardens. Breakfast is a treat with a good range of food options. The restaurant provides a nice atmosphere with great views and is fairly open. If the weather turns, the staff will pull down the blinds to ensure you are not inconveniences and will just as quickly pull them back up once any bad weather has moved on. This was our third time back and for good reason. I can't say this about many hotels I've stayed in but this one actually offers good value for money. Our next trip to Phuket will make it our fourth.

I didn't like the fact that certain individuals got welcomed more than others. I sat there while arriving on the morning of my birthday and watched 4 separate partys receive complimentary welcome drinks and high energy welcomes, while I just received paperwork and was asked for my credit card. And when I addressed the issue, I was ignored. It was kinda hurtful being that I had just gotten off of a 26hr plane ride.A warm welcome on my birthday after something like that would have been appreciated.

Really great place…no real complaints. It’s a bit hilly so a lot of up hill walking but they do have shuttles which are pretty convenient. You can take the shuttle to Karon beach as well HOWEVER last shuttle back is 6 so you can’t really go to Karon for dinner or see the sunset. But that said you could still use Grab to come back. Anyway highly recommended.

We loved everything about our stay from the room (cleaned daily), to the friendliness of the staff and variety at breakfast. The hotel is located close to Karon beach (you can walk but there is also a free shuttle service provided by the hotel) and lots of choices for restaurants and massage parlours nearby too. The resort is set on a hill, so isn’t ideal for those with mobility issues. However, the staff are very accommodating to guest needs day or night and provide a concierge service to your room if you don’t want to walk far.

The Mandarava is unlike any property I've ever visited before. Built on a mountainside, the views are always spectacular. Five different pools and two unique restaurants to chose from help to make this property stand out. The staff here went above and beyond to truly make this a memorable stay. As it is built into a mountainside, there are a lot of steps, but the attendants are happy to give you a ride to your room if your legs can't take it. Fantastic place!

Visited 9 years ago and loved it. This visit was a disappointment - felt like everything had just become a little lower in standard. Fake grass by the pool, poor outside seating at the bar and I think the rooms have been redecorated and personally not a huge favourite of the new colours. The dressing table in the bathroom is fairly useless due to the heat in there and the lack of light. The heat also gets worse as while the AC is great, the policy is no AC when the housekeeper leaves the room, so it can be a sauna if you are in a sunny room with the amount of glass. The grounds are still stunning and the breakfast offering was excellent. Cocktails at the bar were expensive and poor quality. Gym is OK but needs some new equipment. We actually left for 2 nights of our 4 night stay to stay elsewhere as it was a huge disappointment after such an amazing first visit. Wouldn't rush back personally but a lot of other guests seemed to be enjoying it.

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.
