Anantara in South Thailand from AU$349

"We had a pool-facing room. (1) The constant disrespect of other hotel guests sitting on our bedroom steps into the pool, & being intimate with one another, was very annoying. Hotel guests should not be allowed to sit on any steps which is not outside their own bedrooms. (2) Patrons having very loud get-togethers outside their bedrooms by the poolside should not be allowed. This is totally disrespectful towards other hotel guests. (3) The private playing of excessively loud music by hotel guests in the pool area should not be allowed. Hotel guests pay top dollars for their hotel stay, & the decibel level of private music needs to be controlled. All the above put a damper on our stay!"

"I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely be back. The breakfast options were extensive, everything was so good and fresh. "

"Yes"

"Unbelievable "

"Highly recommend staying here!"

"Great value .Centrally located.An iron for your clothes is available."

"Relaxing tropical garden setting. Quiet and tranquil villa with private plunge pool overlooking garden with ponds, and large bathtub in a very spacious bathroom. Staff attention to rooms daily was prompt and conscientious. Convenient location a short walk to the main Karon beach and to nearby markets and stores."

"We loved staying here!! Their other location is closer to shopping, but this one is a short walk to the beach. The small path to the beach does have a smell, but it cannot be noticed on the property. The pool was amazing with a great view and breakfast was great. If we come back to the area we would absolutely stay here again! Absolutely lovely."

"Other than the gym feeling a bit outdated, everything else was great. One thing to keep in mind is the tide level upon arrival — if the tide is low, the boat may not be able to get close to the dock, so you might need to walk a short distance to the hotel. Not a major issue, just something to be aware of."
