Review
The once modest property is now a showcase of gray-and-white minimalist chic. The guest rooms have plasma-screen TVs and large bay windows with views of the pool, sea or a vineyard, but not much else in terms of décor. There is also an apartment that’s good for families or friends traveling together. For lounging, there is a small pool, but most guests use the patio more as a breakfast terrace than as a place to spend the day (the car park is next to it).
Who Should Stay
The Mandala is a nice option for those who prefer uncluttered and reasonably priced rooms but who want to stay just steps from Byblos and Les Caves du Roy.
