I was upgraded to a room that connected directly to the swimming pool from the balcony, which was very cool and because of this, I ended up using the pool twice. Very limited vegetarian options in breakfast beyond the fruit the TV was almost unusable and really could only play one or two channels, but great location, easy walking distance to everything and a beautiful place beautiful place to hang out

The stay in this property was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even the tour desk lady. Breakfast buffet was excellent and opens at 6:30 which helped with early morning tours. All the hotel was clean and well maintained. The pool is very clean, the room was big and very comfortable with plenty of hot water and the internet worked great. The area is safe, walkeable and with many dining and shopping options. Our only complain was the beach. It had a lot if garbage on the sand and ocean. This is not the hotel's fault, but hopefully the local government and businesses could help keep the beach clean so people keep coming pack to Phuket.

Excellent relaxing stay

It’s a best value for money. Big room size and big bath room with bath tub and separate shower area. Excellent location, just across beach and enough shops for food, massage and shopping. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would stay again. They were kind enough to allow me late check out until 1 pm. Bit of more vegetarian/vegan options for breakfast will make it more vegan friendly

Awesome staff, perfect location , a smaller type accomm where the owners really care about your experience and support for whatever you need - I was unfortunate enough to have a fall on uneven path and the assistance and support I received when unable to contact my husband was second to none, including staff driving me to two hospitals and waiting for me and providing assistance with language barrier - above and beyond and I will be forever grateful. May not be the newest or most luxurious but the pool is big there are lots of sun loungers breakfast has many great options including egg station opposite the beach and right next to great massage, restaurants (our fave was Chet thai food about 200 metres away from the roundabout) coffee shops and mini marts and 7-11. Already dreaming about coming back next year. Loved it and the staff makes it so wonderful - Thankyou to Karon sea sands for a perfect experience to celebrate our wedding anniversary!

Hotel needs some upkeep, owners are letting it get run down. Broken drawer in my room, pool is a mess with broken tiles, tired mattress in the room. All the staff are on their phones all the time! So much so that when I used the ATM I immediately went over to reception to have a bill changed and she was looking at her phone. The next people found the card and though I was sitting near the woman waiting for a taxi, she didn't know it was mine because she had been on her phone not paying attention. Unfortunately I was at the airport before she realised and had to cut it up. Cleaning staff in the halls, reception, everyone on their phones! Staff were very nice and attentive if you needed them. Breakfast was so mediocre and repetitive. (Funny, the pub affiliated with the restaurant also was mediocre and I feel probably the same staff). Don't pay extra, there are lots cafes and restaurants to go nearby. Smoking all over the place which was ick. Also thought it was 'beachside' as stated as I've not been to Karon. Had to cross a busy road to get to the beach so I didn't go as much as I had hoped. No chairs made available for my "beachside" hotel either, we have to pay. Chair covers were dirty and wet by the pool and the area wasn't tidied up regularly. I'f I go back I won't stay here, so I'm not recommending.

Pros: location-right across from the beach pool-nice layout breakfast buffet - amazing The reason I won't stay there again and canceled the second half of my trip is: 1. wifi was horrible; everytime you put your phone down, it would lock you out so you would have to sign up to wifi again, and that could take up to 20 minutes. We let them know and they said it just works that way (??). We told them that's not OK and after a full day they sent an engineer out to switch out the box from 2.4g to 5g; still had the same problem but figured useless to complaint 2. sprayed pesticides-by spray i mean a huge very long cloud; taller than me and very thick. They did give notice 2 days before but the spraying was allowed to be for the full day (daytime hours) 3. Power went out-Twice. Once due to a storm so not their fault; second time because it was scheduled-during the day-though they told us the night before. That means no hot water, no electricty, etc; sort of a bummer at a four star resort-i'm fine with those conditions when camping but at a 4 star no thank you. i normally don't leave bad reviews but when we had to run through the pesticide cloud to get to our room and the attendant was laughing-ummmm not OK

We had a pool access room, good room for the money. The ladder down to the pool was a bit hard and slippery, you would not want to use it if you are old or infirm. Breakfast was good, fairly small area but they change it slightly each day. The area around the hotel is also very good, beautiful beach across the road and restaurants and other shops close by. Also they have a twice daily shuttle to Patong if you want to go there. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
