I recently attended the Ecstatic dance event at The Mandrake with Maria & Levi. Wow what an amazing experience, the venue is super impressive perfect for this event and both Maria & Levi were the perfect hosts to hold space for us. Felt totally safe and comfortable and really able to enjoy the whole experience from start to finish because of their hosting and welcome. I have seen Maria Lodetoft before and she is an amazing healer and together with Levi they are the best team. Loved every minute and will be back for the next one!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional experience! Mandrake exceeded all my expectations. The atmosphere is stylish and sophisticated, with a perfect balance of elegance and a lively vibe. The service was outstanding—attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with bold flavors and high-quality ingredients. The cocktails were creative and well-crafted, adding to the overall experience. Whether for a special occasion or a night out, Mandrake is definitely a place I’d recommend and can’t wait to visit again!

Truly unique environment- we had cocktails and snacks in Jurema Terrace- cocktails were amazing - Aidan the bartender was very informative and recommended and made the perfect cocktails with charming flare. The waitress Belin looked after us well with equal charm. We will definitely return.

Joined their Seven Chakra Afternoon Tea Experience with Light & Sound Healing. The sound healing session was nice but they’re a bit overbooked and had to add additional mat at the last minute. The session was carried at their penthouse suite which can be a bit crowded when too many people were admitted. It was relaxing and the facilitator was nice and friendly. The afternoon tea served seven different teas paired with food. Food was beautifully presented but service was a little bit slow. Staffs were very friendly. Unfortunately, we missed one of the teas on the menu. We were also given a 1x1 session with someone to pick a small crystal. Overall, it’s a nice experience and the hotel is well decorated.

I so want to write a good review. However Taxi dropped me off. No help with luggage. Nobody at reception desk to check me in. Got to the room. Which in fairness is a nice size. Clean. Well decorated. Go out to dinner. The key system at the door didn’t work. They did say at check in it could be tricky. But should it be. Next step turning off all the lights on the room. Way too hard. No way should this be five star. For this money. Stay at Nomad.
