Sugar Marina Resort – ART – Karon Beach

Rating: 4.7

This four-star hotel, although located on the first line, can not boast a rich infrastructure. It has an outdoor pool with a spacious, sunny terrace, a small fitness center, four restaurants (one of which serves buffet breakfasts) and two bars.

Woraburi Phuket Resort Spa

Rating: 4.7

Why is it: A budget four star hotel on the front line.

Like the top five star hotels in the ratings, this one is located on the so called “first line” – you just need to cross the road to get to Karon beach. Except that it is awarded four stars – but that is why it is suitable for a budget holiday.

Nevertheless, the hotel has quite good infrastructure. There is a fitness center, spa with recreational procedures, game club with billiards, several bars and restaurants, one of which serves buffet breakfast and the other is right by the huge outdoor pool.

The staff are polite and friendly. Each guest is given sunbeds, towels and other beach amenities, rooms have everything to accommodate luggage, cleaned daily. The hotel also organises a free shuttle service to the Patong coast.

Advantages

• Polite, friendly and helpful staff;
• Large, clean rooms;
• Good combination of price and infrastructure.

Disadvantages

• No Russian speaking staff;
• Poor wifi;
• Noisy, poorly working air conditioner.

The Front Village

Rating: 4.6

Why it’s there: Inexpensive hotel with a huge pool and whirlpool.

This four-star hotel, unlike its predecessors, is located a little away from the “first line”. Karon beach is a short walk from the entrance. The hotel makes up for this inconvenience with elaborate and rich infrastructure, as well as the good location – the rooms overlook the mountains and tropical gardens.

There is a huge outdoor pool visible from windows and balconies, tourist bureau with excursions and car rentals, restaurant with buffet style breakfasts standard for the region, spa with recreational treatments and hot tub.

The beach near the hotel will be a nice feature. So it’s quite a place to relax and enjoy the romance of Karon Beach at night. The hotel is good for couples and solo travelers.

Advantages

• Large, beautiful rooms;
• The atmosphere is secluded and cozy;
• Friendly staff with a good command of English.

Disadvantages

• Access to the pool for a fee only;
• The beach is poorly equipped;
• Located away from the tourist and entertainment center of Phuket.

Sea Sky Karon

Rating: 4.5

Why is it: Ideal for a holiday with friends or family.

Unlike the others in the rating, this is not really a hotel. This is something like “short-term rental apartments”. In fact, guests are given a separate accommodation with two bedrooms, pool, excellent views and maid service. Thus, this hotel is excellent for an extended vacation with family or friends.

However, it is worth considering that the infrastructure on the territory of this “hotel” is simply absent. There is only an outdoor pool. Breakfast, entertainment and drinks become the concern of the tourist himself. Nevertheless, the rooms have a well-equipped kitchen, bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is located away from the shoreline – it takes 15 minutes to get to the beach in a leisurely stroll. But it’s on a mountain, and the terrace – and the “infinity” pool – offer a superb view of the city, tropical gardens, and skyline.

Advantages

• Quiet and cozy;
• Beautiful view;
• “Unlimited” rooftop pool.

Disadvantages

• Located on a steep hill;
• Some apartments have old furniture;
• Virtually no staff.
