Karon Beach Hotels

Me and my boyfriend stayed at the Mandarva for 2 weeks and it was by far one of the best hotels we have stayed at! The resort itself is very new and impressive! It's a very large bungalow style resort with beautiful gardens and waterfalls everywhere! The rooms are amazing - cleaned daily and we were never interrupted and always returned to a clean and cool room! When we were checking out of the room I had left some jewellery in the safe and the housekeeper rushed to return it to me before I left which I thought was extremely honest! The pools were flawless, perfectly placed around the resort and very very relaxing! They look new and are extremely well kept! Soft music playing all day and reasonably priced drinks in happy hour! The staff were amazing, the gardeners always said hello as did the cleaners. We found the bed a bit hard on the first night and I called to ask for a bed topper and it was on there one hour later while we were at the pool and it worked perfectly! The resort is a 10 minute walk one way from the Main street which is mostly flat but if you don't want to eat at the resort be prepared to do this walk a few times a day (in the heat)! The Mandarva will be a highly recommended resort for us. If you want a relaxing romantic stress free getaway this is defiantly the place to stay!

Lovely hotel with friendly staff, nice food & swimming pool. It is perfectly located not far from everything. Room was very clean and comfortable. We had a free breakfast which was well presented and cooked beautifully. Overall very great experience and we would certainly visit again in the future ....

Position of the hotel is very good. Although it is in the centar of the town, you will not be destructed by the noise from the street. Once you step in the hotel, you will experience quite different atmosphere than one on the crowds streets. It looks like you step into the paradise! I do not know what kind of expectations other people have, but basically, to those who are not satisfied, they can go to 5 or 6 stars hotel if they can afford it! I have read so many comments on different web sites, and I have to say that I was a bit nervous when deciding where to go and which hotel to book. Especially since hotel photos are not so brilliant as hotel itself is and because this was my first visit to Thailand. You will be amaized by hospitality. Really , this is one beautiful hotel especially having in minde value of money that you paid for it. Also, breakfast buffet is really big and you will find something for everybody....for vegetarians, Thai food, continental breakfast.... If you expect more and this is not enough for you, please take a good look at your refrigerator to see what you have there. What is offered here is much more than you have it at home, I can bet on that! Resort is very clean, with lot of treaas and exotic flowers. Be prepared if you are not lover of nature. For me it is quite normal to see little animals (read: mosquitoes, bugs, birds...) in the environment like this. In any case, you can buy tablets and sprays and you will be on the safe side.

Nice place to live in Karon. It provides a complete resort and spa experience.

The Centara is a gorgeous resort filled with fantastic staff and great amenities. Get breakfast with your reservation - it's awesome! The Pools - Spa - beach ... all were excellent. The bed wasn't our most favourite ever but everything else was superb! Thete are many great restaurants in Karon - a 15 minute walk along the beach.

we stayed at Beyond Karon two nights on Feb. 1st and 2nd. Our room had a great view of the pool and beach - easy access and walking distance to beach. hotel had a great pool area bar except that it closed at 7 p.m. very good hot and cold breakfast was included. restaurants and other shopping areas were walking distance from hotel. staff was very good. be sure to request a taxi to the airport the next day and not late at night when regular staff is not there. we ordered a taxi at 10 pm for next morning but they had no record of it. it wasn't a problem as they ordered one for us and we got it right away. we would stay there again.

Very pretty and well-maintained property on Karon Beach (well, right across the busy street but there was a "crossing guard" to escort beachgoers). All employees...front desk, tour desk, drivers, housekeepers, restaurant staff...always had smiles on their faces and were so accommodating and helpful. We stayed in a suite with a balcony, and the room was very spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was huge with lots of hot water and big fluffy towels. Breakfast buffet was wonderful...eggs cooked to order, bacon, sausages, pastries, stir fries, rice & noodles, fresh fruits and juices, and great coffee, poured with a smile by Kookie...she's a gem. Short walk from the property to town center so away from the noise and chaos. Would be hard-pressed to stay elsewhere if we're lucky enough to return to Phuket. Thank you, Karon Beach Novotel staff!

Beaches are a lot quiter here but easy access to Patong if needed

hotel staff is not so friendly but still good.Room is great but when i use the small towels which was in the bathroom, there was no new one.
