“Great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Had a great stay at the Karon Beach resort. Brilliant location close to all shops and restaurants and bars in Karon beach. Pool overlooks the beach and its a 1 min walk from pool to beach to room. Staff were very helpful and super friendly. Room was ample space even though we had 3 in the room. We were on pool level (lowest level) which was extremely handy to pop in and out of room it all rooms are very close to the pool and beach. Highly recommended.

Stayed January 2013, traveled with family

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

Cannot fault the location. On the beach which was not only convenient but provided a complete beach holiday experience. Unfortunately there were negatives which I feel if attended to, the hotel could be excellent: the rooms are outdated, dark from poor lighting and have musty smell. The corridors are also dark and outdated and the outside building in need of paint. Breakfasts were average and despite the staff being friendly and helpful they appeared unsupervised and inexperienced. There is only paid Wifi available which was inconvenient. I had the impression that budget was on the agenda. Despite the negatives which are cosmetic, I would definitely recommend the hotel as we had an overall good stay.

“Great Location and View”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

I had a great stay at this place in 2004. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I love the view from the room and the location is fantastic, bring right on the beach. Although the facility is a bit dated but clean and tidy.

“My favorite hotel in Phuket”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

Karon Beach resort is truly a great stay. I have stayed at this place any times between 2000-2012. The first experience is the staff, the welcome and the good feeling of being comfortable. The rooms are not big though but for sure enough for your sunny stay in Phuket. The pool area and pool is great and just 30 meters walk from the pool does the see offer you great snorkeling. This hotel is the only hotel truly on the beach in Karon. Food is good, staff is great, price is good value and I never left this place with any negative fellings, not one single time of the 11 stays I have had with them. Show them my picture and send them my best regards and you four sure have a pleasant laugh bach.

Room Tip: I always stayed here in room 118, 119 or 120. Right in front of the pool but still private.

“Wonderful, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

Loved this place for its smaller, intimate feeling. Stayed a week with family and were greeted by the same staff every day, so made it feel like being part of the family. The staff got to know our names and always smiled. The location was also fantastic, being right on the beach so could choose between hotel pool or beach with locals.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the ground floor so you can go straight to the pool from your room
