Padma and Mandira are better hotels than the ones you listed.
I have stayed at the Padma and it's a beautiful hotel. Mandira is just accross the road from the Padma, also a very nice hotel.
My choice would be the Padma.
Ocean rigger has a pooh smell at the front of hotel and everyone can see you swimming from the reception area.
Ramanda is nice looking but rooms are far to close and doesn't look like you would get a breeze either.
You have to climb up stairs to reception, then you go down stairs to rooms/pool in a ditch with rooms facing each other. Not my cup of tea.
Good Luck
