"We have stayed at Mandarava numerous times now and it is still one of the best hotels in Phuket. The rooms are in groups of 4, 2 up and 2 down. The gardens are beautifully landscaped so you don’t feel like you’re in a busy hotel because of the surrounding greenery. The staff are all friendly and always smiling and ready to help you with anything you need. There are a lot of stairs on the property, due to it being built on a steep hill but there is always a car available to drive you to your room if need be. There’s 5 pools to choose from with the pomelo pool being adults only which is a great idea if you don’t have any kids with you. The food is also excellent with two restaurants to choose from, the largest being Chom Talay which also has the buffet breakfast available. There’s plenty of different food to choose from, so covers lots of nationalities. Only thing missing for Aussies was Vegemite! Other than that was great. This is a great hotel with superior service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone"
