Independent, Karon hotels

"Excellent service from friendly staff. Scooter parking with security guard. Amazing pool with swim up bar and sun lounges. Room cleaning and water restock daily. Close proximity to beach, markets and restaurants. "

"The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the property was tucked away on a beautiful mountainside and bay. We did not explore outside of the hotel so it was nice that we had access to the sister property next door with additional restaurants and pools. The room was amazing, very well designed, and the bed was super comfortable. We were in a room at the very top of the hillside and on the far right, so had to call a buggy for rides to the pool and beach. By the end of the trip we braved the walk back to the room a few times but know that walking may be difficult if your room is further away. The buggies were fun and just a 5-10 min wait so not really an issue. The beach was great for swimming, but can get very crowded as it’s a public beach, however we always had good seats by the hotel pools. All in all a wonderful stay!"

"Staff were wonderful and very accommodating I was able to have a late check out which was helpful. Food was incredible next time I will need to get a cooking lesson."

"A perfect hidden gem with amazing décor, atmosphere and vibe. So quiet and peaceful, so zen and still, not boring with it's warm and welcoming atmosphere. We travelled with two small kids and had the Baray villa which was absolutely amazing. We will definitely come back."

"Great stay during my visit to Phuket. This hotel was convenient to many of the areas I was trying to visit. "

"The hotel complex itself is really nice, it’s big but it’s well maintain with really nice grounds, pool and bar/lobby area, very grand! We stayed in the garden villa rooms which was really nice, great outside area with a little plunge pool and huge bath big enough for two. It also had good access to both the town side and the beach. So if you want a nice hotel in Karon beach area then I’d highly recommend. We weren’t as impressed with Karon as an area, had a very typical tourist vibe, like you could have been in any typical hot cliche beach resort but if that’s your thing then this hotel is a great place to stay. "

"Absolutely a five star hotel We had an amazing view with a private jacuzzi on our balcony - beach and property is beautiful "

"Absolutely loved our time and the whole resort in relaxing and pleasant. All of the staff we met were so helpful and always smiling. Could do with upgrading/replacing some of the pool furniture as looking a little tired but didn’t dampen our wonderful experience."

"Beautiful friendly property. Kara Nou Beach is quieter than Kata Beach."
