After reading this site, I decided to stay with this resort. Good: service is good, typical good old thails ppl. Room is fairly clean. That's all i can say.. Bad: They charge u for the all-in-one coffee..., the toilet seat is broken so need to call in to fix, the body soup is also empty (what the "£$^& is the... more

I"ve stayed here twice, 1997 & 2007! I quite enjoyed it because we could walk to everything,the beach is across the road,brekky was yummy,Security-guard very entertaining,Reception very friendly,maids were helpful! The room was clean but a few mosquitos but thats normal for the tropics! The pool was clean & quiet, the only suggestion is they should have a Happy-hour &... more

Other trip advisors were a little harsh calling it a dump, but it was a little run down in places. This is not a budget hotel, it is a middle range- so standards could have been a little higher.

We were greeted by the most friendliest porter who throughout our stay at the hotel would give us daily weather updates and was always so attentive, along... more

Where do I start? I'm a huge user of tripadvisor and use it like a bible for holiday research but the previous reviews of this hotel completely misled us. I'm not a negative person but this hotel is an absolute DUMP!! First impressions - the hotel appearance looks quite nice from the outside including the reception area. However, like a... more

Having just returned from Phuket, Thailand April 2008 we had orignally booked to stay at the South Sea Karon Resort, Karon, Phuket. On arrival into our room, we found the bed linen filthy dirty, the bathroom looked as if had never seen bleach and the balcony furniture a very dark shade of black/grey, obviously in need of a good clean.... more

This hotel was really nice and its location just in front of Karon beach and with a lot of shopping, restaurants and charming cocktails bars around is perfect ! The rooms are okay to the price quite cozy and with aircondition. There is a balcony but the view is not very charming. The pool area is really nice, and with... more

The hotel is ok, we were room only so I cannot comment on the food....drinks prices in the hotel bars are a little more than the bars up the road and they put service charges etc on top of the quoted prices. Our room was 'standard' and a bit run down in its appearance, grubby carpet and hair balls under... more
