Had a great honeymoon!

Pros: The rooms are really great. Breakfast staff and pool bar staff are really friendly
Cons: Tuk tuk/ bag staff were rather unfriendly and made to feel like it was annoying when you wanted in use the tuk tuk up and down the hill.
Location: Just up the road, however can get a tuk tuk up and down the hill. Restaurants, mini mart and massage all 5 minutes of leaving hotel if you turn left.
We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the junior sweet for our honeymoon holiday. The room itself was extremely clean and well kept. Bathroom was large and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Was great to have our own pool access and private lounge chairs. We were very happy with the room and had a great time using it! We were staying in the privilege area which was lovely and relaxing. I provided the following feedback to staff. The breakfast and pool bar staff were friendly at all times. However we did mention that the tuk tuk staff were very unfriendly compared to other staff. We had to wait 30 mins to collect our bags at the end when we were waiting to check out, and the staff were quite rude and asked my husband to carry the remainder of the bags as they did not bring the trolley down. We also had maintenance to a broken door with 3 people trying to fix it, it was the door leading to the pool and had to be taken off to be fixed. We were not made aware of any maintenance and when entering the room, they did not ask if they could fix it, as we were laying 1 metre away relaxing on the pool chairs. It drew a lot of attention to us from everyone in the pool looking at what was going on. All of this however was only a small part of the trip, and we would stay there again mainly due to the great rooms and adults only section. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our honeymoon.

Great place

Relaxing and well appointed. Not perfect, the wifi is a bit irritating and the road down to the beach is a daily workout. However The breakfasts were very special I thought, and all staff were very kind and thoughtful. a really great place for 3-4 days to de-stress. I would go back very happily.

Family holiday in Phuket

Pros: The surroundings are very beautiful with two gorgeous pools with pool bar and high quality woven beach recliner chairs.
Cons: It would have been helpful to air the room before our arrival as it was very musty when we arrived and took several days to freshen up.
Location: The Karon beach is located down the hill and is very beautiful. It is disappointing about the amount of trash laying around and we only swam here once
We went on our first trip to Phuket in April 2016. The trip from the hotel to Karon beach was long and adventurous. Phuket has become over developed in recent years and so much land has been cleared to accomodate thousands of resorts. There does seem to be any kind of planning or thought given to how it looks on the land with resorts crammed in to the tiniest of spaces. There are even resorts behind resorts! And that is what our resort ended up being - you had to go up the road past other resorts to find the Karon Beach and spa. This was disappointing at first, but once we were in the resort it was beautifully designed and you could relax in paradise-like surroundings. We were bringing our 7 and 9 year old boys for a holiday so we had a family room. The first thing that hit me was the musty smell in the room. This was really disappointing and I didn't know if I would be able to sleep in the room. We tried to air the room and in the end I had to put up with it for a few days when it finally dispersed. Would have been good if they aired the room before our arrival.

Nice family resort

Pros: Everything.
Location: Location is a bit behind the main road, but great for relaxing and not have to deal with the busy areas.
Facilities were excellent, recommend for families. Good value for money. Both breakfast and dinner were included in our deal and meals were excellent.
