This was our first trip to Phuket. I highly recommend this property as it is no more than 200 meters from the beach and has incredible views. Staff was wonderful, friendly, attentive. One issue - the Wi-Fi was not included and the reception was terrible. But then again, I should not have been working during our vacation! Do not waste... More

Stayed here for about a week, having chosen the hotel after reading TripAdvisor reviews. The stairs mentioned were not too heavy (all over the place, and plateaus between levels), and we never had to wait to use the elevator (which we mostly did). Not the hotel of your choice if you are in very bad shape or have walking difficulties,... More

We have been traveling for the past five months and we have been paying $25-$60 a night for accommodation. So approximately $110 a night was not normal practice for us. However, we enjoyed the hotel for the following reasons: 3 pools, great buffet breakfast(included in the price of the room), stunning view from our balcony, well appointed room, and excellent...

This was our first hotel in Thailand and it was pretty excellent. We stayed in the bungalow rooms which were very comfortable. The hotel is well located in Phuket, an easy walk from lots of interesting things. The only comment is that we booked this hotel from Australia so it was quite "expensive" compared to booking something locally (Though I'm... More

We stayed here a week ago and the rooms are some what clean. We stayed on the 3rd "floor". The hotel is built on a hill so there is no elevators and you have to climb stairs to get to your room (there is a LOT of stairs) which does not help if you have heavy luggage. Finally arriving in... More

My wife and I stayed here from January 1 - 6, 2012. While the rooms are clean and decent for a hotel in this class, we found that the staff could really have been more courteous and helpful. It could perhaps be the result of visiting during peak season, but we travelled to other venues in Thailand during this visit... More

Will definitely be back. The rooms were very clean, could not be faulted. The staff in the restaurant were lovely. The room staff, were not quite so nice. Breakfast was great to begin with, but then quite boring after a few days. Although the quality of the food could not be faulted. The bar at the pool side was dis... More

We knew about the stairs issue prior to arriving at the Best Western and didn't mind the daily exercise (stepmaster). The location is within a 5 minute walk of the beach (great beach/not too many people) and the lively little town (be sure to visit the weekly Tuesday night market at the temple.) There are no hotels directly on Karon... More

I stayed at the Best Western for two days after doing a liveaboard. After being on a boat for 4 days, it was nice to have space for myself. The hotel is situated at Karon beach (the "quieter option" between the two most popular beaches in Phuket). It's very close to the beach (5 minute walk away), close to lots... More

I just recently stayed at this hotel in December 2011. I am an American so forgive me if my views are biased...these are merely just my opinions. I have been to Phuket many times but have never stayed at this hotel or at this beach. Firstly, the hotel is situated on a hill overlooking the beach (5 minutes walk down... More
