Mantra Samui Resort - Adults Only

Amazing property on a mountain, great views, beautiful and clean rooms for a great price. We loved it here, felt like a 5* property.

Perfect location, nice views. We got a free upgrade to ocean view room which we appreciated. Room was spacy and very clean. Staff kept offering a buggy rides up the hill, even tho we lived in the first third of the path. Infinity pool was beautiful. We got an early check in for free (cca around 11) and we got a coupon for free tea / coffee to enjoy before the room was ready. Buffet breakfast was great, wide variety of foods, never left with empty stomach.

This is a really nice hotel, we got it at a great price too. The hotel staff are very nice, especially the security guard on the gate in the day and the cleaners. They have a WhatsApp service which I loved as we could request our washing, an extension to staying for a day and renting bikes and they were very responsive. It is on a very steep hill (up from the main road and within the resort). It worked perfectly for us as we rented bikes which we used to zip up and down the hill and the walk up to the pool and restaurant was good exercise for us on a holiday where we spent a lot of time eating and drinking! The washing service was brilliant, I asked for washing and ironing and they split out the clothes that didn’t require ironing and charged us less for those which was kind and it came back in lovely condition ready to be packed for the way home.

We loved the beautiful views and the breakfast was great

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a somewhat mixed experience. While there were some enjoyable aspects, the overall value for the price left a lot to be desired. One of the highlights was the special attention they gave to my partner’s birthday. The room was beautifully decorated, and they provided a birthday cake, which was a nice gesture. Lunch and dinner were generally good, with flavorful dishes and attractive presentation. The restaurant's elevated location offered stunning views, which added to the dining experience. The reception team was friendly and professional, always ready to assist, which made us feel welcomed. However, there were several drawbacks that stood out. The location, while offering great views, is quite remote—far from the beach, city center, or any shops. The shuttle service was helpful but not frequent enough, and taxis were often unreliable due to the hilltop location. The infinity pool, while visually appealing, was smaller than expected, and the water was too cold. Additionally, the towels were outdated, and there were limited sunbeds available. Breakfast was a real disappointment, with lackluster flavors and unenthusiastic service. The room also had a noticeable damp smell, and I was surprised by the lack of basic amenities like cotton buds and a decent hair dryer, especially considering the price. On-site activities were limited to just yoga and Pilates, which felt like a missed opportunity for more variety. Overall, while the service at reception, the quality of lunch and dinner, and the views were enjoyable, I don’t feel the experience justified the high cost. The hotel has potential, but with some improvements in key areas, it could offer a more worthwhile experience.
