I like the location and the exterior of the hotel, the beach is just crossing the street, and the exterior,especially the lobby looks very very nice, as well as, the restaurant, so i expected to get a nice cozy room to stay too but then when i saw the room i totally got disappointed..

i stayed at Superior room, like the cheapest room (and it's also the worst room type i think)..the room is kinda old and bathroom is lil bit crappy. it's been run down. the room didnt really make me feel like staying in the room, theres nothing special really though u have ur own balcony withe the pool view from the neighbor hotel. Well I think the Ramada Southsea hotel should redecorate or refurnish the superior room type lil bit more like putting some nice pictures in the wall,using colours, decorating the bed by colorful pillow, changing dirty bathtub in the bathroom, make the room look more moderns or more comfy and cozy to stay, for sure Ramada could be one of the best hotel in Karon

Ramada isnt a large hotel though, the pool isnt big , but it's fine enough to enjoy the sun there.
in my opinion, the hotel cares their own "look" or "appearance" more than something inside of their heart (which is more important) and i mean the room where the guests stay. as i said if they care more about the room no matter what type of room it is, the hotel would earn lots more profits than they are doing right now. as i could see only higher type of rooms like Deluxe or Premium look better so if u dont mind paying more then i think those types of rooms could make u feel more comfortable like "home"

one thing i like from the hotel is the beach bag provided in every room, it makes the hotel get more attention and better look ;p haha

We checked in to this hotel approximately 2:00pm. As we started to unpack our bags, we noticed our room had a strong musty odor. We checked the bed and it had a large yellow stain on the mattress pad which seemed to be where the odor was coming from. We asked to change rooms. We started to inspect our next room before we unpacked. We found our 2nd room had tiny bugs all over the top blanket of the bed. Although the staff were very friendly and accommodating when we asked to change rooms, we were too disgusted and checked out later that afternoon. The Ramada recently bought this hotel and we feel they only rehabbed a portion of this hotel. Ramada South Sea has potential in that it is directly across from the beach and the lobby & pool appear to be nice, but the rooms need a drastic improvement. We do not recommend this hotel.
