and we love Mandira, for the reasons already said. It's the location, the grass garden where you have a look at the beach. Also the food was good. We stayed at Padma 2 days prior, because Mandira was fully booked.
Padma is higher up, 4 star, but too big for us. Great service though and the garden room chalets beautiful. But again different prices also for the food they charge. I didn't like that I could not see the beach from their swimmingpool area, that is also a reason I prefer Mandira, there open beachfront side. We stayed in the superior room in the 2 storey cottage. Very basic, but all is there what you need. I would rate the rooms 3 star, but again their location for me is 4 star. Book not directly with Mandira, they are too expensive, always go through a tour operator! even the advice we received of their employees at reception!
