"A bit dated accomodation, no power points beside the beds and pretty dark generally. A bit of wear and tear throughout the bathroom. Shower took a very long time to run hot (5 minutes). Breakfast great and staff lovely. Booking airport transfer was a bit messy by email, abit of repeating myself and payment links that expire after an hour. Makes it difficult to arrange whilst travelling."

Centara Karon Resort Phuket

10/10 Excellent
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stayed at Centara Karon Resort for 6 nights as part of our honeymoon and had a wonderful experience. Our room was very clean, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was a great size. Housekeeping was fantastic throughout our stay. The resort grounds were beautiful and always extremely well maintained, and we really enjoyed the pool. The location is excellent, right in a great part of Karon and close to everything you need. Breakfast had a large range of options, and all the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated the lovely honeymoon touches. Our room was decorated with towel swans and a Happy Honeymoon sign, and they even made us a honeymoon cake. It made our stay feel extra special. Our only small suggestions would be to have two chairs on the balcony instead of one so couples can sit outside together. Our room was also quite a long walk from the front of the hotel. Overall, great value for money and a beautiful resort. We would definitely stay again and happily recommend it! 🌴🤍"
