The Mangrove Phuket by Blu Monkey

I like quietness, every morning wake up, with the fresh air and natura vibe. beach not take kind of white sand and blue sea, however it is sound from the wave, the bird singing, is good to compromise it :)

nothing come with perfect. if choice to a quiet place, then got to accept that it far from the town. so i will not really say, dont like it. i just choose what i want, and preferred. I rent a car, i can go any place i want as long i wish. and it wont take too much time by travel to town, max is 20-30mins.

Didn’t take the breakfast but staff is humble and tried to match all of our expectations.

Nothing

Accommodating staff Good room: no insects, well cleaned, and a cozy setting Extra options available such as a swing and kayak

Far from the city centre, so not the best option if that’s what you’re looking for. This is more of a place to relax. Breakfast had limited vegetarian options.

It’s quiet and tranquil. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The TV in the villas has netflix/youtube. We upgraded to the connecting villas that has a jacuzzi. The pool is small, if the resort is not in its peak season then it’s fine.

The distance to the city, no private beach. There is a beach but you CANNOT swim or let kids play on the sand. You have to travel to a beach a few kms away. We requested for connecting rooms before arrival as we travel with 3 young kids but they provided us with two villas one on the hill and one at the bottom. The villas they gave were not exactly next to each other. Phuket was so rainy that we couldn’t bear the thought of our young kids climbing and going down those slippery stairs. One particular staff was especially unfriendly- she seems to be the supervisor/superior there. When we informed about the situation she was super unhelpful and had this cold demeanour. No empathy as if we were an inconvenience. The toilet was clogged…twice. In the end we paid to upgrade to connecting villas for our children’s safety. It’s pretty far from any 7E and is located within a village/province. You’d need to take a bike or car to the nearest 7E. The resort’s shuttle bus schedule is also very scarce and leaves you with no options.
