Guest Reviews

• Caroline (8/5): - Endroit très calme mais si vous voulez bouger pensez à télécharger l application BOLT pour circuler car loin de tout Réservez une petite villa elles sont adorables
• soyoung (10/5): 쉼과 여유 - 힐링하기 아주 좋은 곳
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very beautiful place with a lot of trees. You can feel that you are in nature. But need to improve cleaning.
• Alessia (10/5): - Resort STUPENDO. Tra le palme e il rumore degli uccellini, appena arrivi ti senti subito in Thailandia. Le mangrovie sono bellissime da vedere. Il servizio è eccezionale e anche la pulizia. Abbiamo cenato due volte al ristorante e i prezzi sono nella media rispetto agli altri ristoranti di Phuket. Solo una pecca ( non è comodissimo per non affitta un motorino, ma consigliamo taxi anche con app come Grab) ma è davvero una bellissima esperienza.
• Jane (10/5): - Such a fabulous hotel! We stayed as a family of 4 and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location is excellent and was perfect to explore the area!
• Stephen (10/5): - A relaxing few days, shame it wasnt a better beach
• Hulalady (10/5): - Good location, very quiet very good to reboots your energy.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Work and relax - Good view. Staffs are kind. During Covid you can have breakfast 2 main disks but that is good enough.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It was quaint and quiet. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was a little away from things.
• JP (8/5): - Large room but bed and pillow is not that comfy. Not so much variety of breakfast. If you need a quiet place, this hotel is your ideal place.
• KarolaundPeter (8/5): - Ruhig und trotzdem gut gelegen und weit weg vom Massentourismus.
• Susanne (4/5): - Leider sind die Zimmer abgewohnt. Die Laken und das Moskitonetz fleckig; die Bettüberzüge und die Handtücher zerschlissen und löchrig. Die Klimaanlage ist laut, wie auch der Strassenlärm von der vielbefahrenen Straße, der besonders in den Deluxe Zimmern stört. Das Frühstück war okay; wird aber nach 3 Tagen eintönig. Die Preise für Essen und Getränke sind etwas überhöht. Der Service ist okay, wenn es auch nicht möglich war, einen Airportpickup zu organisieren. Das erste E-Mail dazu wurde 3 Tage nicht beantwortet und dann war ich mit dem zweiten E-Mail zu spät, weil dafür bräuchte man 24 Stunden Vorlauf (!!). Der Pool wurde in 4 Tagen nicht ein einziges Mal gereinigt und im Meer schwimmen ist fast nicht möglich, weil tagsüber meist Ebbe ist. Alles in allem eher eine Enttäuschung und definitiv keine Weiterempfehlung.
• asiaventures (8/5): - We loved the quiet and peaceful and relaxing surroundings. The only challenge was that there were no restaurant options nearby. The best solution was to rent one of the motorbikes on site which gave then gave us more options to get to other beach and restaurants not too far away but not within walking distance. Still a great place to get away and enjoy!
• Verified traveler (8/5): เหมาะแก่การพักผ่อนสำหรับคู่รัก หรือ ครอบครัว - บรรยากาศสงบ เหมาะแก่การพักผ่อน ติดชายหาด มีเปลให้นอนเล่น
• Schalk (10/5): - Stay was amazing! Staff is super friendly and helpful
• Donald B (10/5): Great place to relax - Benautiful place. Beach was below average but everything else on the property was excellent.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great resort - Nice facilities. Good food, nice pool. Beach is decent, and provided kayaks is a good touch. No complaints, fairly nice for the price.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 價格不算十分便宜，但環境優美，早餐十分普通，建議可增加多些活動給住客選擇，因為地點不太方便，一定要駕車出入，泳灘是紅樹林，可以爬獨木舟！
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Lenteur du service et peu de disponibilité du personnel
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was nice and quite, but the location wasn't walkable to other locations.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Everything about this property was a disappointment. Not only was it dirty but the staff at the front desk was unhelpful and rude. They were unapologetic about any complaints that were made. They are nowhere near a 4 star hotel. Absolutely disgusting resort. Dirty towels, dirty bathroom and beds.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - This property was extremely disappointing. It was dirty and unsanitary. The bathroom was sandy and covered in stains. The towels were yellow. The "pool" outside of our resort was covered in dirt. The door would not lock and it was continuously making noises. After making complaints to the front desk, he was not apologetic what so ever. He called the manager and she was also very unfriendly and did not apologize for the inconvenience they have caused. We had to check out early because they were not accommodating and the rooms looked like a prison cell. They made us pay an additional 1200 baht per night just to add an additional bed to the room. The additional bed was placed on a piece of metal frame that looked like it came from a hospital. After sleeping there for just one night it caused my friends and I rashes. The location is extremely far from everything. It costed us 1,100 baht one- way just to get to Patong Beach.The beach at the resort itself was also disgusting and dirty. This is the worst place you could possibly stay. They are ranked highly on Expedia but it did not look the same as the pictures provided.
• Kerrie (10/5): Amazing, serene getaway for pure relaxation... - Picturesque resort in which to wind down! Serene surroundings, beautifully clean and modern accommodation with all amenities, friendly helpful staff and beautiful food at the restaurant.  Be aware (as the name suggests) the resort is situated on a mangrove beach, so not for swimming, however the pool is lovely!  Also slightly isolated, so some traveling via taxi required to get to popular areas such as Patong, Phuket Town, Karon, etc Overall, a fabulous start to our 3 week stay in Thailand!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Standard 4* hotel stay Remiote área but very quiet Good food. Small pool but suffefient Would go back
• Richard (10/5): Pleasant short stay - Short stay at hotel whilst we did some sailing nearby. Lovely location with some stunning views of the sunsets. Hotel grounds are very beautiful and well kept and very pleasant to relax in. Pool and dining area is pleasant. Only minor point is hotel is a little isolated and you really need transport to visit restaurants other than those at the hotel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Friendly
• Yaz (10/5): Nice hotel quiet and peacful - Great staff very friendly would definitely recommend
• Verified traveler (4/5): Hotel too far and in convinient - 1. Hotel was not as it seems in the booking site . The beach was too dirty and was not meant to be used . This was warned by the reception staff as checked in but not in the website. 2.Too far from town and the hotel charges for shuttle service and only to limited routes . 3. No activities at all in hotel and it was very boring 4. The bath outside hotel was dirty and the water came out very yellow
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful hidden hotel - Great hotel with a beautiful view of the water and the mountains, tucked away from the tourist and busy scene of Phuket. Bit far from attractions and landmarks however worth the drive or taxi drive. Buffet breakfast was amazing and the staff were helpful. Room was spacious and always clean. Great experience.
• Chana (8/5): Peaceful and Close to nature - Nice pool, Private location, Perfect for vacation!
• edward (10/5): Excellent, recommended - Everything in the hotel is excellent, including the food in the restaurant, there is bunny there too. Highly recommended to anyone going to Phuket, peaceful but away from Patong close to Phuket town,quiet, nice and beautiful room... will definitely visit again
• Mike (10/5): Pleasant stay - Brilliant stay after our trip to the Phi Phi islands. Staff very friendly as always in Thailand.
• Bojan (6/5): Good hotel to relax for few days and regain energy - Alright for couple of days stay if you're not afraid of geckos or flying ants. Rooms are not the cleanest you've seen, but they are alright. Definetly I would avoid hilltop rooms as there are a lot of "unindentified" animals up there. Hotel location is great if you'll stay only in the hotel, but any trip will cost you extra, and although they say shuttle bus is free, it's not really (it's 100 BHT per person). The hotel restaurant is good with good choice, and in average lunch would be 500 BHT and above (depending if you'll take alcohol or not). As for the breakfast, I will just say that for the next several weeks I won't eat any eggs, bacon or sausage. All in all, good hotel to relax for few days and regain your energy. P.S. We were a bit disappointed at the end by the fact that hotel doesn't want to book a taxi for you, but they only offer their fixed rate transportation.
• Wendy (10/5): Peaceful retreat with wonderful staff - Wonderful, peaceful retreat. Ocean view villas are right at bottom of hill overlooking the ocean next to the restaurant, bar and pool. Bit of a steep climb back up to reception and taxis but we didn't venture too far so didn't really affect our holiday too much. Food excellent , beer prices a little expensive but after getting such a good price for the villa it compensated. What made it for us was the generosity of the wonderful staff after our camera got left in the taxi at the airport when leaving. Within a couple of days, without us sending prior payment, they returned it to us and we got it back a week after leaving. Many thanks
• Iain (10/5): - staff,accomodation,facilities all excellent
• Colin (8/5): Relaxing hotel near mangrove beaches - Hotel and staff were great. Rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable. You can rent a motorbike at the hotel; which I would recommend if you want to get around the island as the hotel is relatively far from most other things. They do offer free shuttles at specific times which can be good for organized travelers. If you are looking for a spot to lay on the beach stick to the western beaches of Phuket, the mangroves make relaxing in the sand a bit more difficult. However, kayaks and paddle boards are free to use at the hotel (awesome). Pool, bar, and food was wonderful.
• Nurul amal (10/5): 4 friends - Our check-in and check-out process was fast. The area was pretty secluded. The staff were very nice and helpful. There were many facilities such as swimming pool, kayak and stand up paddling board (they provided it for free!).
• Kai Xin (10/5): Quiet hotel with a beautiful view - Hotel was clean and comfortable, staff were super friendly and helpful, view of the sea is beautiful but there isn't much of a beach as it is a mangrove. Hotel provides free usage of bicycles, canoes, and paddle boards. Food at restaurant was really good, don't forget to grab drinks during happy hour. Hotel might be a little far from popular areas in phuket, but if you're looking for relaxation, this is the one for you. :)
• Mike (6/5): WELL DESIGNED BUT SLIGHTLY RUN DOWN RESORT. - NICELY DESIGNED RESORT AND ROOMS THAT ARE A BIT WORN. BUT GENERALLY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY. BREAKFAST WAS NOT FANCY BUT OFFERED MANY OPTIONS AND WAS GOOD. ONLY MAJOR COMPLAINT IS THE LIGHTS OF THE RESORT STAY ON THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT AND COME THROUGH THE WINDOWS, SO MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SLEEP. AC IN ROOM COULDN'T QUITE KEEP UP WITH THE HEAT OUTSIDE.
• Jessica (10/5): Highly recommended! - I loved this hotel! Quite far from much in Phuket - but the hotel itself was great value for money - the rooms were lush, the staff were friendly and the grounds were beautiful. Highly recommended!
• Marissa (10/5): - What a beautiful setting! The studio villa was a perfect setting for a relaxing week.
• HK (8/5): A tranquil oasis - If the somewhat secluded location peculiarly regarding costly taxi fees to other parts of Phuket isn't a issue and You are looking for a stay in a small scale resort in green tropical garden like surroundings, tranquility and appreciate such amenities like free canoes and bikes, away from the crowds, then this is the given choice.
• Andrew (8/5): - Really nice hotel. Beautiful and very friendly staff. But the food is not so good. Shame really.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Nice View - Nice View and beautiful atmosphere, Small Pool Nice bed but bathroom a bit dangerous from towel stair Nice BAR AND nice people , nice service
• Michelle (4/5): No amenties. Too far. Very expensive. - When booking excursions it is quite difficult to get a fair price being that the hotel is so far. We ended up paying 700-1000 THB per trip to leave the resort for food or entertainment. Food was terrible
• Verified traveler (10/5): great hidden gem in mangrove - Fantastic getaway, honeymoon..very friendly staff and surrounding nature.
• Kelvin (6/5): Isolated - It's a great location if you want to escape busyness and noise - It's a beautiful and relaxing resort. Staff is really friendly and responsive to whatever you need. However, it's rather isolated from everything. It's not far from one of the piers (still a drive) if you want to head over to Phi Phi island or something but you can't really walk to a local restaurant or anything. Consider renting a scooter if you stay here.
• Katrina (8/5): Beautiful quiet location - Beautiful scenery. We were a little concerned when first arriving as the resort seems to be out of the way a little. We were pleasantly surprised though once arriving that the resort has everything you need. Great sucluded location for relaxing and away from the hussle and bustle. Close enough to Phuket town for day trips for some shopping. Staff were helpful and friendly. Beautiful location and view of the beach- we could even see the big Buddha from our window.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel / beach / view..good value for money.. - It was nice experience. good sunset view, good ambiance, nice room space, supportive staff. on early book you can get these facilities at affordable prices.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great hotel in quiet location - Great hotel in a nice quiet location, away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket, but still close enough to easily go into town. Room, bar, restaurant and pool were fantastic. The view into the bay was beautiful. The staff were friendly... ...however, we went in off peak season with a group of friends (3 couples). Apparently the hotel had been over-booked. Two out of the 3 couples were asked to move to a different hotel at different times to accommodate busloads of Chinese tourists. Fortunately, the hotel we were moved to was very close and bdefinitely an upgrade, so all was not lost. It was just a bit puzzling that you can book something but not have it reserved for you.
• Katharine (10/5): Relax...! - We had a wonderful time at the Mangrove Panwa. The staff were excellent and the whole experience was of total relaxation. Great food and great Thai Massage! If you want to get away from the hectic pace of Patong, stay here. No beach on site but very nice pool and free shuttle to lovely beach 3 x a day..
• byron (8/5): Nice hotel, friendly and helpful staff. - Staff were friendly and check In was easy. Food was good and rooms comfortable with all the essentials including wifi and satellite tv.
• alice. (6/5): The hotel quality is not 4 stars - We expected to enjoy this hotel staying. However, we were disappointed many times with the hotel staff service levels. The breakfast menu and items were pretty simple. You should not be rated a 4 stars to this hotel. It could be a misleading indicator. That said, the hotel garden is carefully maintained. It was very beautiful and we got a good relax time.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Value for money - Thanks for the hotel, we were upgraded to a Villa for free. The hotel is value for money though it is far from centre. The room is comfortable and clean though some insects you may see since it is a countryside resort. The breakfast varieties are not so many. As we come late around 8:30a.m., all the food containers were empty since there were tour while we are staying.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Average... - In the middle of nowhere and staff didnt seem to want you to leave! Made it difficult to get taxis and charged way over the odds. Barely anyone staying there whilst we were and too many staff so filled their time giggling! Quite uncomfortable at times. Breakfast much below average and unless you got there when it began there were slim pickings. Didn't top anything up. Stay at the Cape panwa!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Perfect for relaxing ! - Very quiet and secluded place perfect for relaxing. The food is good enough to stay on the premises (you will need a car to go to anywhere). Service very good. If you are looking for loads of people and excitement this place is definitely not for you...however if you are into a really peaceful, relaxed, romantic and quiet break then don't miss out on this great venue. The cherry on the top for us was the fact that there were NO KIDS !!!!!!!!
• Sarah (10/5): Tranquil resort - slice of paradise! - I booked this resort for our honeymoon and it was the best decision. The resort is beautiful, well maintained and very friendly and helpful staff. The food and cocktails from the restaurant are superb too. It is about 30 minutes from the main hub of Pating and Karin beach but this did not affect our stay. It was the perfect resort to relax in. Will definitely come back!!
• Werner (8/5): Lovely resort!! - Beautiful resort with a very personel touch. Friendly staff, great service and great food. We enjoyed every day! I can certainly recommend the Mangroove resort!
• James (6/5): Quite a distance away from main beaches - Nice hotel layout except for the high number of lizards and mosquitoes outside the room. Probably because its next to a mangrove. The free breakfast was mediocre but the a la carte was good Would not recommend it for those with children.
• Maria (4/5): Cheap - Not very good after comming from very good hotels. It is cheap but is is far from everything, taxis are expensive, room is ok but there are too many stairs to get there, food not good, everything smells like citronella.
• george (8/5): Lovely hotel but a bit isolated - Hotel was lovely and in a superb position with lovely views from our room. The only downside was that it was really isolated with no other facilities near, required a taxi to get to any shops, restaurants.
• Mack (8/5): Nice Hotel - Amazing rooms with view, nice garden, pool, Spa. They offer complimentary bicycle which is good to visit nearby places.
• Gianluca (10/5): Wonderful resort, highly recommended - I highly recommend this resort to everyone, not only for honeymoon but also for simple holiday trip. The staff is very polite, helpful and ALWAYS smiling. Our room was a deluxe (which is the basic one) and yet it was so nice, clean and with great furniture. Our private terrace had the view on the garden and at night the noise of cicadas and animals, resort' lights and candles were making everything kinda magic.It was blissful and relaxing, far away from the trashiness of the lights of Patong and more famous beaches Location was OK, we rented a car and it was simple and nice to move with it from there. Also this resort has direct access to the beach (very easy to go canoeing everywhere) but the sand is different (more on grey) and it is not for laying down with your towel. The restaurant was good and with fair price, you could also ask to eat in the garden close to the sea. Whenever you were having a meal, there was always a nice music to relax you. Definitely it was an amazing resort
• Clouds18 (10/5): Fantastic hotel, great for relaxation - Great for relaxing whether in the room, pool, beach or bar. Loved the hammocks by the sea and watching the sunsets with happy hour cocktails! Massages were fabulous especially the 90 minute thai massage - so good I had one daily. Perfect for 4 night stay. Might be a bit too remote if longer stay but there are free shuttle buses three times a day or taxis available just outside the hotel if time slots are missed. The Beach Bar is just a short ride away and wonderful for watching the sunset.
• Chris (8/5): Excellent Resort - We arrived at Mangrove Panwa from Rassadan Pier. Upon arrival the resort looked very promising. Check-in was quick and smooth. We stayed in a normal room, not the villa. It was clean and a great size. The toilet was also clean and big. Liked the styling and furnishings of the room. The windows are big, so there is lots of natural light coming into the room with privacy from other rooms. Overall the resort was very well maintained. It's very peaceful and relaxing.
• Mr. Lee (10/5): Great hotel wonderful stay - My wife and I had the best vacation ever at this hotel. The staff was attentive to our every request. The restaurant service and food was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Peace and quiet and romantic. Would recommend to anyone. You will love this place
• Steph (6/5): Secluded getaway in Phuket - My friend and I came from a crummy hotel in the middle of Phuket so the Mangrove was a refreshing experience! Tranquil and beautiful for the most part. The villas are very nice, however be prepared for bugs joining you (mainly at night) - mostly Mosquitos and ants and one gecko for us! The pool is warm and a nice place to relax - however there is no beach access which is unfortunate due to location of hotel. It is still a really nice view. The pool is relaxing insofar as other guests are respectable - I would say my biggest complaint here is the hotel staff playing terrible North American music on a loop - kind of ruins the relaxing mood. I would recommend the spa (Thai massage in particular) - great value! Also, staff are very limited with English language skills - but I found this a common issue throughout Phuket - so communication is difficult. Finally, there are some stray cats on the resort which I did not mind as an animal lover, but I found it awful how some of the resort staff treated them - one man swatted a cat and ended up injuring its eye. I was pretty appalled by this. However again, there are stray animals throughout Phuket you'll have to get used to seeing.
• Elle (8/5): A Remote gem - We booked delux room but upon arrival we upgraded to stay at one of the independent room. We stayed for 5 nights. Overal the hotel is really nice and we would highly recommend. The only downside is this hotel located at a remote area so every time you need to go somewhere, you have to call for taxi, and they don't come cheap. I.e to Patong costs 700 bahts, to/from airport costs 800 to 1000 bahts. The hotel does provide shuttle service though, but only 1 way, 3 times a day to shopping centre and ao-yon beach. There's no restaurants near by. Overall great hotel for honeymoon-ers or people looking for relax time. Not so great if you are after a lot of activities or night live.
• klles (8/5): Too remote without a car - The actual resort was lovely as were the staff. No beach but the pool was great. However the resort was too remote without a car and although the resort eatery was OK for a couple of nights we stayed for a week and part of a holiday is to eat at different places. Other resorts had a free shuttle in and out of Panwa village where we ate a few nights but our resort didn't and with a party of six it meant haggling for taxis which spoilt the holiday. The least resort can do is put on a shuttle to and from Panwa village in evening. They did have a shuttle to Phuket town and nearby beach but only one way. Quite happy to use and pay for shuttle.
• P (8/5): Great for quiet honeymoon - I picked this place for our honeymoon because we purposefully wanted to stay away from the notorious "dirtier" party areas of Phuket with young obnoxious tourists. This place definitely fulfilled that goal. As it was a bit isolated, I wouldn't recommend a long stay here but it was perfect for our purposes. It was difficult to get to from the Phuket airport because the taxis there are such con artists and it wasn't in a common area, so I would recommend reserving their airport transfer with a stay here. We were greeted with cool tropical drinks and a small but strong bellhop carried our big suitcases down steep stairs. Our "deluxe pavilion" room was close to the bar/restaurant and pool, and had a small patio. The mosquito net and air conditioning worked well. A couple of small drawbacks: it's not actually on a "beach" but is right on the bay and there are beach chairs in hammocks in the sandy area between the pool and the bay. Also, the breakfast (included in our rate) was not very good except for the bacon which was the best we had in Thailand. Dinner was good and reasonably priced, plus they have a happy hour in the evenings with "buy 1 get 1 free" drinks. This place definitely served its purpose to provide a very romantic dropback for a couple looking to get away.
• Carrie (10/5): Peaceful, quiet and beautiful - Great location to be near Phuket Town, but far enough away that it is isolated and peaceful. Staff was very accomodating and the room/cabana was lovely. There is no walking beach access, but the pool and grounds are lovely.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Spoilt our holiday - A disappointing week in a hotel with a one way shuttle ( have never come across that before) so we felt we had no choice but to hire a car. The traffic is terrible on Phuket so it wasn't the stress free holiday we'd hoped for. The shower runs hot one minute, cold the next. The food was average & the traffic noise was constant. Add to that our room was right next to reception ( we could even hear the phone ringing) it seems pretty ironic that we were in a remote location which was one of the noisiest hotels I've stayed in.
• PT (8/5): recommended for honeymooners, secluded getaways - service-good,prompt and helpful (limited english, but ok). Condition of hotel is good, new and fresh looking. when i checked in room was already prepared, air condition on,made up beds,etc where things were supposed to be,except for a little sandy floors.i stayed in beachview with outdoor tub (vulnerable to dirt because of it being outdoor, request them to clean first!). biggest issue i believe for some would be the location, Panwa is not exactly Patong or Karon,quite, secluded and far out of reach (not nearby other bigger hotels too, and i would highly encourage renting a car (unless you're staying only in the hotel). breakfast std fare, no dinner tried here. night views are romantic with the walkways and 'au natural' feel. Overall great stay, remember - secluded location (hence car rental would be good choice, value for money, romantic)
• usama (8/5): The mangrove hotel Phuket Thailand - The hotel is in its opening period its far from the city and the outside activities although during the day the hotel provides transportation but at night its costing much money to move to the night activities, the hotel has still no facilities like Gym or spa but the efforts from the management team to make every thing that please you its really a nice p[lace for relaxing and family holidays basicly for people who are interested in peaceful environment which combine green, sea beach, swimming pool, birds singing and good service what i know the management is trying to cover by providing the rest of facilities in short period of time i can rate it now 4 out of 5 but sure soon will be 5 out of 5
• Rita (10/5): Romantic Villas with excellent view - Our local Thai friend referred this hotel to us. We had the best stay and it was much more than we had expected. It was a new hotel and we had one of the sea front villa. It was a bit far away from the busy Phuket night life which we liked. The beach connected right in front of the hotel was not a swim type though. But with the great view ( esp during the sunset) and with the swim beach closed by, it didn't bother us much at the end. And, what a great service we had!! Enjoyed it a lot. Def go back if we visit Phuket again.
