What a hotel! We have no words to describe how awesome was our stay there. The hotel was built by famous Thai architecture, Mom Tri (Mom Luang Tridhosyuth Devakul) who is  a descendant of Thai king Mongkut Rama IV. Mom Tri gave his guests truly royal experience.

If you want to stay fit on your vacations, you can use a gym at Mom Tri’s Villa. It’s different than most of the gyms in a luxury hotels- it’s designed in a Thai architecture style. To be honest, it’s one of the best gyms we’ve ever seen.

The best thing about Mom Tri’s Villa Royale is that it is a boutique hotel. You won’t see crowds there. Sometimes you may even feel like you were the only guest in a hotel and everybody is doing everything to make your stay even more comfortable.

Manathai Surin Phuket– best hotel Phuket

121 Srisunthorn Road, Phuket, 83110 Surin Beach

About the hotel- best hotel Phuket

Manathai Surin Phuket is a great place for people searching for relax. The hotel has its own spa and two beautiful swimming pools. It is situated very close to the Surin Beach, which is one of the best we have ever seen in Thailand. This resort is very peaceful and relaxing. Surin is not the most touristic place in Phuket and in our opinion it’s great. You won’t hear loud music at night or see drunk people coming back from the club. Manathai is great for families and couples of all ages.

Pools

There are two swimming pools in the hotel. They are not big but one huge advantage of them is that they are situated in two different places! How awesome is that? Usually hotels have all the swimming pools next to each other. These places are crowded and full of people. At Manathai hotel it’s different- you can always find free sun beds to lie down. There are many great amenities at the pools, including pool mattresses, water armchairs or even balls to play.

Big towels are available for hotel guests who are using the pool. Both swimming pools are very clean, well-maintained and new.

About the hotel- best hotel Phuket

The hotel is situated in the most peaceful area in Phuket. It’s on the hill, far away from the hustle and bustle of the island. The surroundings are lovely, we have never seen so many trees, shrubs and flowers in the hotel. At Mandarava Resort and Spa you can feel like you were in the middle of the jungle but surrounded by the luxury. We really can’t imagine better place to relax and forget the worries of everyday life. The hotel is situated on the hill, so you will have to climb up or down a little in order to get to the pools, lobby or restaurant. This is a perfect place for couples, solo travellers or anyone looking for a peace and relax.
