Amazing staff, lovely owners, perfection in paradise! My husband and I booked for 6 nights at Karon sea sands for our wedding anniversary and there was an offer available that was good value. We had visited and stayed in Patong last year however wanted more of a beach trip and with the gorgeous Karon beach directly across the road, we thought we would spend 6 nights here then 6 in Patong. We decided around 2 days into our stay that we needed to extend our days I. Karon and tried to book sea sands for a further 6 nights however unsurprisingly, was not available but we were able to have 4 more nights! So we ended up with 10 nights and I cannot speak highly enough of the owners and staff, who made our experience so enjoyable. We were invited to the guests cocktail party on the Friday, where we were welcomed with drinks (beer wine soft drink cocktail) and yummy snacks and were able to mingle with the lovely owners of the resort, Kiran and Jaspal and the hotel guests. I had the misfortune during my trip of having a fall on one of the uneven footpaths nearby (out front of epic - beware!) as I’d been forced over onto the side of path by a family seemingly unwilling to share. Unfortunately, my husband had been running errands and I was unable to get onto him. I fell hard and smashed just above my eyebrow on a rock, which broke my glasses. I had blood gushing down my face and arm and couldn’t see properly and managed to get back to the room but couldn’t see my injury properly due to the blood and so went downstairs in search of some ice - the reception staff were so caring and warm, comforting me when I was obviously in shock - kiran came out and arranged for staff member James to drive me to Karon hospital. James took me in and I was seen immediately however they advised due to my wound I should go to Patong hospital. James drove me there, escorted me in, helped explain the situation and waited while I received 10 stitches, then when I came out he was waiting and drove me home! Such kindness is truly rare and I will be forever grateful. Despite my injury, loved the large spacious room we had, the bottled water to the room daily, the balcony with the clothes drying rack for towels etc - can’t wait to return - thanks again!

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.

“Perfect location, nice pool, clean and friendly...what more could you want?”

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.

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 and hotel, and fantastic staff”

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.

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.
