Mandarava Resort and Spa Karon Beach

Lovely lush setting Set on a hill but they have 24/7 shuttle tuk tuk day driven by extremely polite and kind guys Too many steps everywhere which could be a problem if you have mobility issues Walking distance to the beach and Karon town area which offers good shopping and food options I think this area is million times better than the chaos of Patong beach, and the hotel is nicely situated

Place was great. Nice people, nice room and most importantly nice memories. Will be back!

Very comfortable with a quiet environment, nice swimming pool. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room is large and clean.

We had a great time staying at Mandarava Resort. The staff was very helpful with giving recommendations and helping us book excursions. I especially want to thank Peary for being so kind and making us feel welcome. Most people there are young to middle age couples and we saw few children. So maybe not the best option for 3 single twenty-somethings, but it was relaxing and we had a great time. The resort is built on a hill so you definitely get some exercise going around the resort, but they have small vehicles to help you with your bags for check in and check out. The layout of the place is a little confusing at first, but keep the map on you for reference. We only had to get lost once to get our bearings. The area around the hotel has a few restaurants and massage shops, but you have to walk about 12 minutes to get down to the Karon Beach area to have more variety. We had a night out in Patong and it was easy and affordable to get a grab taxi there and back. Overall, I recommend this place for couples wanting to relax and hang out at the resort.

I didn’t like the area, the hotel building is on a high hill , not comfortable especially with kids. At the check in the guy said that we can make a late check out until 14:00 for free. But at the check out they changed their mind and we made check out at 12:00, The rooms is not clean enough . The hotel is very old not as the pictures
