Just visited the Mantra resort yesterday and it is well impressing! Way up on a hill overlooking Maenam and the ocean, this privately owned resort delivers the 5 stars with a hand kiss!
Since the resort is build on a hill, there's no direct beach access but shuttle buses run daily to three beaches and there's a lovely infinity 10 x 24 meter infinity pool, overlooking the ocean.
Each of the 88 rooms comes with a complimentary computer and wifi for your stay, there's a great gym and there's even a pillow and soap menu plus a kid's club.
Two restaurants, The Ubuntu and the Damma Dining serve you as well as the 'Ministry of Coffee' bar and the Gym and Juice bar at the Mantra Fitness Center are at your service.
The resort is fairly far away from anything but rental cars, motorbikes and bicycles are available.
They really try hard and succeed to make your stay well worth it and once you leave you want to come back immediately.
