South Thailand, Thailand hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean resort"

"Very beautiful resort "

"The hotel is outstanding, brilliant location, super friendly staff and the facilities are superb, couldn’t ask for anything better."

"We loved our stay at the Mandarava. We had a free room upgrade on arrival- Coral grand deluxe room which was beautiful looking out onto the coconut pool. The resort its self was beautiful, very clean, several pools so they were never too busy. The breakfast buffet had a good variety and was very tasty- the drinks were very good! They allowed me to take some food back for my partner who was not feeling well one day. The gym is well equipped for a hotel with dumbbells and machines. The only negative would be the price of drinks and for dinners/lunches at the hotel are extortionate compared to if you go into town so we tended to go into town for food and drink."

"A beautiful resort with multiple restaurants, pools, entertainment options, loved the library cafe for a rainy afternoon. Food delicious and the staff are wonderful. Not as cheap as other places in Thailand for food/drinks but cheaper than Europe. "

"Great staff "

"Check in was a nightmare my room was not ready I waited over 2 hours and I was given a room I didn’t choose. My room didn’t have towels it took them 2 hours to bring any. I would call the lobby 2-3 times no answer I wouldn’t stay here again "

"Very nice stay here the location is perfect and the staff were very helpful "

"It was a property where we could truly experience the renowned reputation of Banyan Tree, and the accommodation we stayed in satisfied every member of our family. The friendly service of the staff left a lasting impression. One thing to note is that I had read in several blog reviews that, when choosing a dinner course at the Saffron restaurant, there would be options for appetizers or desserts. However, on the day of our visit, only a fixed menu was served. I wasn’t aware that this had changed. The food was excellent. "
