7.2/10 Good! (300 reviews)

Pictures online are definitely old. Quite run down. Not a bad location as in distance to town but up a huge hill which is difficult to walk and will cost more to get a taxi or took took up. Room wasn’t great with not much of a view. Mattress was hard. Staff were lovely and changed to a different room with no bother or charge. New room was lovely and much more updated. Comfy bed but kept slipping between the two beds pushed together. No lift and had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to room. Nice pool but chemically out of whack with the colour changing from Clear and blue to green over the course of the week. Overall was a bit disappointed with higher and different expectations but was clean enough and staff were lovely and welcoming. Could not fault the service.

Beach was lovely. Good surf. Beware of strong undertow. Found the surrounding area a bit grubby/rubbishy. No rubbish bins.

Karon beach has many hotels offering great accommodation for couples or families. There are also a huge variety of shops and the beach is beautiful and clean.

3/5 - Okay

Cheryl

Karon and Kata beaches are good to view but look out after high tide when all the plastic stuff washes up and they don't clear anything away. Also not impressed with beach dogs who brawled, then mated in front of everyone. Why are dogs allowed on the beaches anyway? No one seems to care. I will also add our disappointment with beach cafes and eateries. A captured audience leads to high priced bland food and generally staff who don't really care. Best place and really good food/staff was Kata food market. Highly recommend this place to any visitor.

5/5 - Excellent
