This hotel has great grounds and nice pools. The buffet breakfast is great. The rooms themselves are okay, but are not overly spacious. The ocean deluxe rooms had underwhelming views. Rooms are clean. Located just across the road from the beach but it is a fair walk from the hotel rooms to the beach.

We stayed here in early November for our honeymoon. Got upgraded to a plunge pool room by the lovely lady at reception (didn't even tell them it was our honeymoon, maybe they guessed!). Hotel grounds are very well kept and especially pretty at night as they are all lit up. The pools are also very nice and they have a good fitness centre.

We ate in two of the restaurants there, one was a Gaucho style restaurant which was OK the other restaurant was the Pacifica where they have breakfast in the morning, we had two buffet meals one was seafood the other an Arabian night, we really enjoyed the food and there was a very good selection, the breakfast buffet was also very good each morning.

Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, our only recommendation for improvement would be with the housekeeping, We were doing a PADI divers course and arrived back to the room at about 4-5pm on a number of occasions and the room was not made which didn't bother us so much but then housekeeping would knock to tidy the room and disturb us, this is my only complaint.

We loved this place! This was the first place we stayed on our recent honeymoon and were here during the third week of November 2012. We arrived at around 12 noon and had to wait until 2pm for our room to be ready which was fair enough as some checkouts were 12 noon by others. We sat in the Kinnaree bar and had a few drinks then toured the resort while we waited. The resort gardens were immaculate with not a leaf out of place. No rubbish, mess or weeds! The buildings all looked in tip top condition.
Upon arriving at our room (we had a Deluxe Plunge Pool Room), we were stunned, it was so beautiful. There was a cute decoration on the bed for our honeymoon that night mad of fresh flowers! The room was cleaned twice daily around 9-10am most mornings with our bed turned down every night around 5pm.
The buffet breakfast was amazing and beutifully set in the Pacifica restaurant overlooking the pool daily. The selection of food was amazing. We also ate tea here which was a great mix of different foods and decent prices. Food was also eaten at El Gaucho which was great view of the beach and road area, The sand bar which made great pizzas and cocktails, and the pool bar which was good for snack style food.
We didnt go to the Spa, nearly did and found the prices were on the high side but overall not too bad! We got a massage at the place to the left of the back of the resort close to the markets and for 400 BHT found this was great value too!
The local area of Karon was good for a walk around and the Movenpick is well situated in this area with easy access to Patong via tuk tuk and also to 7/11 for supplies.
All in all, i would have to say that with the modern surroundings in our room and the lush gardens, together with the very professional and friendly staff, this made for a very pleasing visit. Would i come back here......? For sure and with bells on!

We stayed here early November 2012, upgraded to a garden villa which was very worthwhile as you enjoy several benefits such as King beds, garden area, unlimited water, large shower bath room and cofee machine. The most comfortable bed we have had in Thailand after 7 visits here. Tremendous buffet breakfast with huge variety. Lovely manicured grounds and the staff are very nice and helpful. Beach just across the road and like eveywhere in Thailand you pay for use of a sun bed. We prefer the beach at Kata (a short taxi tuk tuk ride)as it is a lot quieter in the sea. Another benefit of a villa is that you have exclusive access to the Coconut Pool which is away from a lot of the kids in the main pool. Only negative is perhaps the price of drinks which seemed very high however you can easily buy outside or at the beach a lot cheaper.
Will definitely stay again.
