I traveled to Karon Phuket as a 53 year old female solo traveler for a holiday, for leisure. I choose this resort based on location, proximity to beach and shops and restaurants, and facilities and price. I loved the big room, had everything I needed, a wonderful sized balcony and a window seat. Room was very clean. The staff were very friendly, smiling and helpful. Loved the big pool, perfect water temperature and varying depths. Plenty of deck chairs and a mix of sun and shade places to relax. Pool bar was very handy. The location is perfect. The resort is less than 2 minute walk to the beach. Within 10 minutes walk there are many restaurants and bars, there are multiple 7 Elevens, convenience stores, money exchanges, bars, massage beauty spas, and tour agents all very close. The Phuket Smart Bus stops are very close to the hotel, the bus goes to Patong beach in 10 mins, also to the airport and to Kata beach. Easy to get taxis. The hotel offers taxi bookings too, which I used and was very handy. The room was big, the bed was very comfortable. The room was clean and well maintained. The balcony was a nice size with sitting area and clothes hanger. The resort had a lovely foyer for relaxing and waiting for a tour pickup, great pool and surrounding pool area and garden. There was a gym which I didn't use. The restaurant has buffet breakfast, a great selection of western and Thai food. Was very nice having breakfast in the restaurant. The Wi-Fi was strong and stable. The pool bar closed early some days when there weren’t many people around. The resort has 3 restaurants/bars at the street. I visited 2 of the restaurants/bars, The Irish Pub and the Starz Rooftop bar, they were both fantastic service and great quality food and drinks. The Thursday night cocktail parties by the pool are great for welcoming the guests, meeting the owners and staff and meeting the other guests, like a big family. I highly recommend this resort. I will definitely stay there again, for the fantastic resort and staff, and for the perfect beach across the road.

What a nice and friendly hotel, with a great location right on Karon Beach. The room was spacious, the A/C was powerful, and the bed was huge. We had a pool access room, which was nice: get home from a nice sweaty walk, go straight through the room, and jump in the pool. This is a friendly family-owned hotel with a family-friendly vibe: not that there were a gazillion screaming kids, but there were no drunken stag party-type groups. The location is perfect, right on the main beach street with dozens of food and drink options within ten minutes' walk, but set back just enough from the street that the hotel stays peaceful and quiet. Staff are very friendly. We'd definitely stay here again!

Lovely location at the northern end of Karon beach. Easy access to Patong and Kara if that’s your thing. Plenty of restaurants close by, and right on the beautiful beach. Hotel looks a little dated, but it’s spotless and the staff are magnificent. We stayed in a 2-bed apartment and it was spacious and well maintained. The pool area is lovely, with a swim up bar and long pool. Some of the rooms had direct access to the pool. All-in-all we like the place - the owners out on free drinks and nibbles on a Friday night and were a pleasure to talk to. We would recommend, and would return.

Spent 2 lovely weeks here in comfort in one of the poolside rooms complete with a bath which tops off my holiday anywhere! The breakfast was plentiful and in a luscious tropical setting. Plenty of pool lounges and shade plus a poolside bar. The welcome cocktail party with the charming owner each week was friendly and inclusive. The beach is across the road and there are plenty of shops and restaurants right outside the lane way entrance which shields you from the noise. I wouldn’t bother looking anywhere else to stay at Karon Beach which is a 10 minute trip away from the craziness of Patong. Highly recommend this place. We’ll be back for sure.

Lovely hotel, we had a deluxe pool view room it was really nice and very spacious. Beds are really comfortable and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Breakfast is good with plenty of choice and nicely cooked. The pool is nice and a good size, they need more umbrellas round the pool but the beach is opposite and has plenty of sun-beds. The hotel bar which is next door is an Irish bar and they also have a roof top bar. They make really good cocktails reasonably priced. The staff in the bar and hotel are so friendly and welcoming, they are a credit to the hotel.

Hi we stayed here in August 2023. This resort is not given the credit it deserves. Beautiful hotel and staff. Rooms are clean and large. The pool is much larger then potrayed in the photos. 30 metres from beach yet still secluded.Reasonably priced. Big shout out to Arm for her patience and help when making enquiries and doing the booking

Firstly, so happy they honoured our Groupon vouchers since cancelled(covid) 2020 trip. Staff here are truly lovely and go out of their way to ensure guests have the best stay. We changed rooms to accommodate husband recovering from knee replacement, at their suggestion, and they moved all our gear to new room while we were out...so effortless for us. Breakfast was great with a lovely, fresh variety every day. Most of the buffet is actually inside a temperature controlled room with automatic sliding hours, so keeping foods fresh and bug free. We had a couple of very early tours, spoke to staff, and we were able to access buffet breakfast while staff were still setting up....extremely appreciative to all staff...couldn't thank them enough. Rooms and beds very large, spacious, clean and the area is very quiet. Beach across the road and only 10 mins to busy Patong. Walking distance to night markets, day markets and plenty of shops and restaurants, without being crowded. The Friday evening cocktail parties are a great way to meet other hotel guests, chat to staff and enjoy complimentary drinks and canapes. The staff encourage guests to give hotel feedback and are incredibly efficient at rectifying any issues. Definitely 10 /10. Lots of sunlounges, with plenty of direct sun around the pool all day, perfect for those sun lovers. A special thank you to the ever smiling and helpful, parking attendant, Willy. He made our days greeting us as we headed out scootering and returning each day, like being greeted by family and he even moved our scooter for our easy access. A well organised, very helpful, smaller resort that really makes guests feel more like family. Already planning our return there.

I think it’s our 6th stay in this hotel over the years. We started coming here when kids were young and enjoyed the hotel and its staff hospitality very much. It was only logical for us not to look any further. Now that kids are big and leading their own lives, we still enjoying Thailand holidays with my husband. Hotel is clean and very welcoming. They nicely updated it during Covid. Staff speaks good English, communication via email (we always book directly) is fast and clear. Special thanks to Nan -the manager who communicated to us during booking and made sure that we very well looked after on arrival. Front desk ladies Marie and Jane were ready to answer any questions we might have during our stay. Night staff is also very helpful and courteous. Karon Sea Sand has very nice tradition of weekly cocktail parties for all the guests. It is an opportunity to meet with other guests as well as owners and management, enjoy a drink or two and feel even more at home Many thanks for the hospitality. We will be back again. Steve and Viktoria

We had a great stay at this hotel. They managed to get us in 2 adjoining pool access rooms at short notice after an issue with our previously booked accommodation (at a fantastic rate too). The rooms are clean spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful. The pool was lovely and clean. My two children did not want to leave :). All of the people working their were so friendly and welcoming. If location is key to your stay then this is a great spot, close the the beach, shopping and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again if heading to Karon.

The resort wasn’t very clean, and the staff wanted to charge us THB 500 for a new keycard after losing it, something I have never seen before. The location is ok, but there are many better options than this place.
