Andrew Doig 2009-08-28	Karon Beach Resort, Karon Beach so pleased we chose this hotel and no other in Karon, location is great. We enjoyed the hotel and all staff were lovely and friendly in a genuine way. Only minor annoying thing was fuit juice running out at breakfast not replaced. Other guests very pleasant, mainly couples but a few families. Now the not so good points we knew it was rainy season but unless you go into Phuket town there is little to do in Karon. I would not go in the summer again. Karon is a little far from anywhere and tuk tuks and taxis charge silly prices, mainly because many tourist do not haggle. Outside hotel, good quality restauarants exist but there is not a huge choice beware that street sellers, many of whom are not actually thai, hassling you to buy over priced mass produced products. It annoyed us. we have visited thailand many times so we always use local taxi drivers or the bus which is basic but safe and fun.	excellent as usual
Annie Borch 2009-02-27	Karon Beach Resort, Karon Beach Nice hotel right on the beach. Enjoyed going to sleep with the sound of the sea. very friendly staff. small dark rooms. I think this hotel is overprized as well as the poolbar, restaurant and spa.	very easy
Gun o Anders 2008-10-21	Karon Beach Resort, Karon Beach The hotel has a great location directly on the beach. Best location of all hotels in Karon! The hotel and the room was very tidy and clean and all the staff was helpful and kind. The room size was modest. Beds was a bit hard. The poolarea was small and not that many sunbeds. But it is the only thing that was a bit negative. Great hotel!	Booking was quick and very easy.
David , Carol & Jen Hodsdon 2008-06-29 until 2008-07-07	Karon Beach Resort, Karon Beach Excellent location - on the beach. Good value for money, friendly helpful staff, food good though basic (only had the breakfasts but menu at resturant looked good) Highly recommended	no problems.
Pia Evers 2008-02-05 until 2008-02-21	Karon Beach Resort, Karon Beach we 4 persons will never stay at Karon Beach Resort again when we check in the 05-02-2008 the 2 room we have booket where not ready we have make booking in june 2007. one of the room where behind the poolbar and no sealook and the room have a very bad smell of dust and old Water, we check out after 3 days and stay the rest of the hollyday in another hotel. Karon Beach Resort have a nice location but 7200 Bath is to much to pay for a small very dark room. we got a very nice bungalow for 3500 Bath and the room where much better, so we will nevver stay in this hotel anymore and we talk to other people and they agree it was also there last time in Karon Beach Resort. Helle, Stig, Ole and Pia from Denmark	The booking on sawadee was very easy and we will use it again next time we go to Thailand
Dr Vaughan Lock 2007-08-14 until 2007-08-23	Karon Beach Resort, Karon Beach Great resort.... we had a nice room - canna delux....it was cheap...great pools, great staff....beautiful view..... and unlike the moaning person earlier - the hill is not a problem - you get a great view and they run several free shuttles morning and afternoon if you cant be bothered or are too fat to walk... I have stayed in and around kata and karon a number of times and found this resort to be an excellent choice. I think there probably are rooms that are dark and dont have veiws but it is very cheap and if you get a more up market room you shouldnt have any problems.	excellent as usual!
