Reviews
We were only given one room card during our check-in, but when checking out, a staff member (the one in the attached photo) insisted that we had received two. Despite our repeated explanations that we only had one card, she refused to listen and stuck to her claim, with a rather uncooperative attitude. This unnecessary dispute dragged out the check-out process for 20 minutes, which was extremely frustrating.
On a positive note, there was a lovely short-haired Thai staff member who was very helpful and had a great attitude—she made the situation a bit more bearable.
I hope the hotel can address this issue to avoid similar problems for other guests.
Service was okay, rooms were kept clean but they knock on your door and ask to come in with no explanation about some form of bug repellent, which would’ve been good to know prior.
And the front of house were lovely upon arrival and through out, other than refusing to get my shoes out of the room after check out, knowing for a fact they were in there. Just blatantly refusing so I’ve come home with one less pair of shoes
As for the location, i wouldn’t recommend it to anybody, Thailand was incredible but i will never return to this side of Phuket. Dirty, same scamming shops every 2 seconds and be careful where you eat as we were served raw chicken down the road from the hotel.
On the topic of food though, the Indian that is linked with the hotel was lovely! You can see the Buddha from the restaurant which was the only positive of the hotel
The hotel is spotless, with friendly and efficient staff.
You cannot get much closer to the beach or the main street for the shops and restaurants, but there was no noise to be heard.
WE WOULD BOOK AGAIN WITHOUT A DOUBT.
We had a first floor room with a pool ladder on the balcony so it was easy access to the swim up bar. The age of folks was a bit in the older range so if you’re looking for a party hotel, this isn’t it. It was low key and quiet, despite being off a Main Street that can get very loud and bustling.
The breakfast buffet had a ton of variety. It was all delicious and the dining/food area was kept clean.
The location is perfect. It’s literally right across the street from the beach and has many of stores, food markets, 7-11s, vendor markets, massage places, etc all well within walking distance.
Our room was kept very clean and well stocked daily.
If I ever went back to Karon Beach, I’d absolutely stay here again.
Rooms are spacious and well-equipped. Breakfast has an excellent selection. Pool is big and has a range of depths. Fitness center was good, if you want it. Great location for spending time on the beach. The social night with the owners is a really nice touch.
We almost had an issue since Booking.com had the right number of people in our confirmation, but not in what they sent the hotel. We arrived late in the evening, exhausted, and we were worried that it was going to cause a problem. But reception called their manager who said they'd sort it out with Booking.com the next day and we never heard any more, so that was a relief.
Pros:
-Spacious room for being in the beach and cost
-Early check in was easy ( just make sure you email them back on your ETA)
-I requested the quiet room and they upgraded our room to the walk up pool room at no cost
-location is right near the beach and shops, including multiple 7-11 and currency exchanges so we walked everywhere
-free four bottles of water daily
-breakfast buffet included but OK ( mainly European and Chinese tailored foods- no Thai food)
-Beach bag and towels were provided in the room which saves you time going out to buy one
Cons:
-Rooms are a bit dated and would benefit from a remodel
-cleanliness was OK. I felt gross after seeing them folding fresh towels on the floor 😫
-like other reviews, bed was very firm. Wasn’t a huge issue for us but could be for those looking for a bit more comfort
-Although we appreciate the free room upgrade to the pool swim up for free ( because I requested a quiet room), we kept our curtains closed because there is no privacy. You would often see a lot of elderly Europeans sunbathing directly across your window and it’s sorta awkward
Overall, it isn’t anything fancy or extravagant but good for the price and location. Hotel is 3.5 at most and I would only return if they had a remodel and things were cleaner.
