“Beautiful Location On the Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

The resort is ideally located on Karon Kata beach in a landscaped garden setting overlooking the beach and sea. The staff is very welcoming and the restaurant "on The Rocks" is a beautiful place to start and end the day. The rooms are spacious and well kept .The location is ideal for enjoying all that Karon Beach has to offer. It is close to everything that anyone could need. The location near the beach makes it ideal for snorkelling as well as enjoying all the ammenities of the beautiful beach. One cannot forget about the beautiful pool with the waterfall in an idylic location. We spent 9 wonderful days there and look forward to returning .

Room Tip: We chose a wonderful Garden room that fit the bill for us #115

“Updated Marina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

Marina has become even better ! This is the fourth visit to this hotel. Especially on New Year holidays.
Great pool with waterfall and Jacuzzi. Massages can be booked there. Sala restaurant re-opened. Breakfasts were more comfortable .. Staff, as always attentive and friendly. Very happy stay in this hotel.

“Amazing stay away!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

My husband and I stayed in an Ocean view room in April for our honeymoon and it was amazing.
We had a great view and an absolutly beautiful room. Breakfast was free daily and it was always very nice. All of the staff were so polite and helpful :) Heaps of great restaurants and a beautiful beach just metres away
We would definitly recommend staying here, the ocean view room was great!

Room Tip: Ocean room, great views and not a far walk from the rest of the resort

“Second Stay - won't return”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

Not 5 Star. The rooms are very good - recommend the Ocean View. They are still re-building in early December. They have enlarged the reception area with no air-conditioned area (ridiculous) - they have got rid of the beautifully air-conditioned and very useful travel hut with its free wi-fi. But the Ocean rooms at least have internet through the TV's. Air-conditioning was noisy. Breakfast is OK but more 3 star than 5 star. Our main problem was at the end of the 8 day stay. My wife and I had the same meals for 24 hours prior to this except for lunch which we took at the Marina - my rice with chicken seemed dry like it had been warmed-up - 12 hours later I was sick as a dog, every hour for 7 hours. Very nasty. I was feeling ill the morning we had to leave but they presented us with a bill which included 4 or 5 Evian waters (at £2 each) - these had been in the mini bar (over the week) - we never touch mini-bars. They provide Marina mineral water bottles free of charge which are free and we only used those. But as ill as I was feeling - they made my wife go with them to the room to discuss this - while I had to sit feeling really ill in that non-air-conditioned Reception area. They finally relented but that was not a good ending. They do provide a good free Airport shuttle; but we had to pay 1,000 Baht to get them to take us to our next stop at Laguna (Dusit Thani - wonderful place). Unfortunately he took us the coast route which is very curvy and sick-inducing! What a mess is Patong, at least Karon and Kata areas are relatively peaceful - I would avoid Patong from what I saw of it. Laguna Resort is like heaven (apart from Best Western Allamanda which is the worst of the hotels there - although cheap).
Anyway, Marina - we went in February, wished we hadn't gone back in November (did get 20% discount as returning guests) (and still very heavy rain at times). Won't go again - it is a self-proclaimed 5 Star but 4 star is pushing it. Lugana next time - truly 5 Star.

Room Tip: Ocean rooms best - if it's your second trip they should give you a 20% discount.

“Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

I have stayed at the Marina at least 10 times over the last 20yrs and it just keeps getting better!
They have managed to grow and improve the hotel with each new renovation, but still keep that personal touch that makes you feel like you have come home as you walk through there beautiful grounds to your room. The new pool has added lots of extra deck space, and the new pool bar looked so very tempting, although wasn't completed in Nov.
On The Rocks Restaurant was open for breakfast, and was a wonderful place to start the day.
Don't tell just anyone about this Special Resort as it books up early, and you will be hard pressed to find a better Hotel on the Island
Enjoy

Room Tip: The first couple of Ocean View rooms have only a peek-a-boo view of the sea.
