This was a very nice place to stay, it is located a couple of mins from the beach in karon, and the beach is lovely. Amazing weather, amazing people, (except the hard selling hagglers who won't budge - in the shopping areas) Located opposite a sports stadium, not at all noisy. Located in karon, which is just south of patong... more

Really good hotel with a good location (about 100 m to Karon Beach) and great view from the room over the sea and the sunset. We had a standard room on the top floor. The standard was really good, clean rooms but the bed was a bit hard. The staff was really friendly and funny. Breakfast was really good, a... more

We booked this as a last minute package deal through Zuji. Initially a bit worried about the timing as it was meant to be the "wet" month but we got lucky with only 1 afternoon of rain in 4 days. Karona Resort was pretty good for the price and close enough to the beach where we spent almost all our... more

My boyfriend and I stayed 21 nights at Karona March/April 2008. We thought the hotel would be OK and nothing more, but we were pleasantly surprised! The staff was wonderful and service minded and always smiling! They were helpful at any time of the day. We stayed in a "superior room" and it was perfect! The aircondition worked perfectly and... more

Stayed at Karona Resort in March 2006 for around a week, coming to Phuket after a few days in Bangkok. While there is nothing particularly wrong with the resort, you could certainly find much more luxurious surroundings in Phuket - probably for similar money. The resort had a very 'motel' feel to it, with a long treck up concrete stairs... more

My hubby and I stayed here for 4 nights back in April 2007 and loved it! I don't recall where I initially found the hotel but I booked directly with them. We rented a deluxe room and were upgraded to the honeymoon deluxe at check in so we were quite pleased. The rooms are very modern and have been completely... more

My family and I have just returned from 12 nights at the Karona Resort and Spa and we really enjoyed our stay. My family consists of two adults and two children 10 and 14 and we were looking for a small inexpensive place close to the beach, facilities and the Karona fitted the bill. When I first booked our accommodation... more

We have just returned from Phuket and had a great time overall. We encountered some problems in reaching our destination in that the flight from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpa was delayed and then a passenger fell so we made an emergency landing in Delhi. This lead to us missing our connectiong flight. However, the airline put us up in an... more

We have just got back from 10 nights at the Karona Beach Resort. The hotel is in desperate need of renovation it felt very shabby. Our room was ok, it was cleaned very well each day and cleaning staff were very nice, i wish i could say the same for the rest of the staff. The breakfast was cold most... more
