Karon Sea Sands Resort — Hotel in Karon

We stayed at this hotel from 23/6/14 for 10 nights, arriving very late on the first night tired thirsty and hungry also desperate for a shower and change of clothes. the night manager sent someone to a local convenience store to purchase us food and drinks [a real champion]n Our room was delightful large airy and spotlessly clean with a large balcony and well fitted clean bathroom. The bed was a little hard for us but no problem next morning housekeeping put toppers on the bed and we were happy. breakfast was amazing plenty to choose from and a sea of happy smiling faces all ready to assist in any way possible. The pool was clean and refreshingly cool the swim up bar another pleasant surprise! If we were too tired to go out in the midday sun lunch can be served to the pool!! Frid night is Guest Cocktail Night the staff and Management gather with us so we could all mingle and get to sample the food drinks and very friendly hospitality. We felt this was a great idea and a real icebreaker! The duo singing Meanne And Daniel were fun and he is a very good guitar player! For our anniversary we were not only presented with a cake by almost half the staff but Daniel & Meanne had secretly learnt our favourite song another delight for us. the reception staff and bar staff without exception were all excellentwould name them all but afraid to leave out even one as they all made our holiday a pleasure! We will definitely be going back to this hotel next yearand a few of our family are planning on joining us. Thank you Karon Sea Sand Resort you do a really great job of welcoming and looking after your guests. We wish we had spent our whole holiday here instead of moving on to another hotel for the last...

All in all a very well-kept and maintained property in an ideal spot in Karon. Lovely, particularly spacious rooms tastefully decorated and furnished in bright tones. I particularly liked the balcony-side glass wall (with a cushy purple lounge sofa/mattress beside it, so cool!!), which lets more sunlight in the room and also adds a stylish touch. Clean bathrooms with a modern walk-in shower and a full-size bathtub. The pool area gets sun all day on a sunny day which may/may not be to your liking, but there's enough of parasols. The pool water temperature was optimal, also the water quality was excellent, no trace of chlorine.Wi-Fi worked flawlessly. So did the A/C. Brand new Samsung TVs with HDMI port. Daily housekeeping does a great job everyday. Considering this is basically a beachfront property with beach access directly across the road, I would say it's an amazing deal overall. Easily one of the best spots if you want a strategic base in Karon.Dozens of restaurants around, 7-Eleven, street-food stalls, even a surf-school is just around the corner! Another extra point is having Karon Circle Roundabout with the Phuket Smart Bus stop is 50meters from the resort's entrance. Hotel also organizes free weekly cocktail parties in Patong if you feel like it.Last but not least, it goes without saying that entire staff was super-polite and very welcoming, both the restaurant staff where the breakfast was served, as well as the...

We stayed here during a peak season ( Thanksgiving week) so we did pay a premium for the rooms, so my review might be a bit skewed here.

Pros: -Spacious room for being in the beach and cost -Early check in was easy ( just make sure you email them back on your ETA) -I requested the quiet room and they upgraded our room to the walk up pool room at no cost -location is right near the beach and shops, including multiple 7-11 and currency exchanges so we walked everywhere -free four bottles of water daily -breakfast buffet included but OK ( mainly European and Chinese tailored foods- no Thai food) -Beach bag and towels were provided in the room which saves you time going out to buy one

Cons: -Rooms are a bit dated and would benefit from a remodel -cleanliness was OK. I felt gross after seeing them folding fresh towels on the floor 😫 -like other reviews, bed was very firm. Wasn’t a huge issue for us but could be for those looking for a bit more comfort -Although we appreciate the free room upgrade to the pool swim up for free ( because I requested a quiet room), we kept our curtains closed because there is no privacy. You would often see a lot of elderly Europeans sunbathing directly across your window and it’s sorta awkward

Overall, it isn’t anything fancy or extravagant but good for the price and location. Hotel is 3.5 at most and I would only return if they had a remodel and things...
