The Mangosteen Resort & Spa Hotels

Nathan stayed at The Mangosteen Resort & Spa on 2006-07-01 and said, "We had a fabulous stay at the Mangosteen. The resort is beautifully laid out and feels very private. It s a little out of the way if you re interested in easy access to the main beaches but it s perfect if, like us you re looking for a peaceful place to stay. They have shuttles to Patong and Phuket Town on alternating days and transportation on demand from the hotel for around 500 to 600 Baht. The restuarant food is delicious but is a bit more expensive. But you re paying for the atmosphere, and presentation which is to be expected at a resort of this calibre. We stayed in a Superior Jacuzzi Villa and it was amazing. Beautifully decorated and an incredible bathroom. The Rain Shower is very relaxing. The service is fantastic and the staff are all friendly and willing to help. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing, peaceful vacation."

Ailsa stayed at The Mangosteen Resort & Spa on 2004-11-21 and said, "I would not hesitate to recommend the Mangosteen to anyone wanting to stay in Phuket away from the hustle and bustle. It is perhaps a little isolated but everything about the resort more than made up for that. The hotel villas are just gorgeous. We had just the basic superior rooms but they were spacious and beautiful. I don t think they could haev improved on it at all. The outside shower was great too! The view from our little private patio was lovely and the view from the pool and dining area was breathtaking. We could have sat for hours just taking it all in. The staff were fantastic as well, so polite and friendly. We used the spa twice and although more expensive than the massage at the beach , it was well worth the money (in a relaxing, peaceful setting and still cheap by UK standards). I could just go on and on about the Mangosteen! We will definitely stay there again, no hesitation. It made our top 3 highs of Thailand (snorkelling being number 1)I think the main attraction is that it is a boutique resort, there aren t hundreds of rooms with loads of guests milling about. It is definitely an escape from the usual crowded hotels so if you like easy access to shopping in markets and pubs this is perhps not the place to come. Anyone wanting a bit of luxury though, this is the place to be!"

Nigel stayed at The Mangosteen Resort & Spa on 2004-04-16 and said, "Lovely small, secluded and relaxing resort. Accommodation superb, restaurant good, but choice limited for longer stays. Staff very friendly and efficient. Ideal location for a peaceful break."

Daphne stayed at The Mangosteen Resort & Spa on 2004-03-18 and said, "Very nice resort with lovely gardens, and nice swimming pool, suitable for children. Spacious & comfortable suite-room, large, king-sized bed which was very comfortable, nice size bathroom, rain shower, good ambiance with good lighting and outside balcony with great sea & garden views. Could improve on the service, which was friendly, but could be more professional and efficient. For exmaple, our pick-up from airport (prepaid, using res24) did not turn up at the airport and when we called them, the hotel staff said they could not contact us so they did not know our arrival time, but I feel that they could have tried to e-mail to res24 who could then have redirected a query to us. In the end, we used the prepayment for the return journey.Overall, a resort with good potential and worthwhile to stay 5 nights and pay 3. The longer you stay, the more comfortable & enjoyable it is!"

Dr stayed at The Mangosteen Resort & Spa on 2004-01-13 and said, "perched on top of hill, the views are breathtaking and faultless. the rooms are comfortable, and the outdoor shower is fantastic. HOWEVER, the service is generally very poor - for example: had to carry own bags to room, very poor understanding of english, staff can be quite rude and lazy at times, rip off hotel taxi prices and there is NO private beach or beach club (contrary to website)- share with hundreds of other tourists.so, the hotel has five star potential - but the service and everything else makes it at best 2 or 3."
