it is n ot a bad hotel but there are better ones for that price, the rooms are clean but they can do much better, the pool towels were full of sand so they did´t change it for new guests. Drinks were expensive. Buffet not good. Excellent service. more

After reading this site, I decided to stay with this resort. Good: service is good, typical good old thails ppl. Room is fairly clean. That's all i can say.. Bad: They charge u for the all-in-one coffee..., the toilet seat is broken so need to call in to fix, the body soup is also empty (what the "£$^& is the... more

I"ve stayed here twice, 1997 & 2007! I quite enjoyed it because we could walk to everything,the beach is across the road,brekky was yummy,Security-guard very entertaining,Reception very friendly,maids were helpful!

We were greeted by the most friendliest porter who throughout our stay at the hotel would give us daily weather updates and was always so attentive, along... more

Where do I start? I'm a huge user of tripadvisor and use it like a bible for holiday research but the previous reviews of this hotel completely misled us. I'm not a negative person but this hotel is an absolute DUMP!! First impressions - the hotel appearance looks quite nice from the outside including the reception area. However, like a... more

Having just returned from Phuket, Thailand April 2008 we had orignally booked to stay at the South Sea Karon Resort, Karon, Phuket.

This hotel was really nice and its location just in front of Karon beach and with a lot of shopping, restaurants and charming cocktails bars around is perfect ! The rooms are okay to the price quite cozy and with aircondition. There is a balcony but the view is not very charming. The pool area is really nice, and with... more
