The most value of this hotel is the good customer service, friendly and clear communication of this hotel staff. They tried to help you almost everything that you asked for, even help my daughter send the post card to her grandmother cause we couldn't find where is the place sell stamps nowadays. The family room where we stayed has a smart European design, which creating more space for using, with large mirrors with tailoring details such as white towels indoor and gray towels in pool/beach, beach mattress, beach sandals, water bottles, electric kettle, teabags and coffee...

Quite a lot of Russian tourists in the whole areas which can bring mixed up feelings. They took all of sun chairs/loungers most of the time in advance with their towels.

The location of the hotel was perfect.Close to all the restaurants and a beautiful beach. Our children also loved the pool. Our room was spacious and cleaned daily by the wonderful staff. Breakfast was plentiful although very busy at times.

Phuket was a little too crowded as it was the high season which made it a little difficult getting around due to traffic. A certain group of guests at the hotel persisted in taking everything from the fruit section of the breakfast buffet within a few minutes of the staff refilling it. Pushing in at the line and overloading their plates until the fruit was falling off. Perhaps they have no fruit back home. This group were also rude to staff and other guests.

This hotel was perfect for our family. We thought all the facilities were great. The family room was very spacious, modern and comfortable. Cleaned to a high standard every day fresh bath towels and beach towels provided. We lived that there was a beach bag, beach mat, flip flops and two large umbrellas provided in the room. The pool area is lovely and was very clean. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of options. This Hotel was also less than 5 minutes walk to the beach and literally just off the main street of Karon where there are lots of bars, restaurants,ships etc. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My son and I fell ill during our stay and they had a Dr. To our hotel room within 30 minutes. They also organised our taxi to the airport when. We were headed home. Great experience for us all round. Highly recommend.

Breakfast - enjoyed the variety Location - perfect for beach & shops Main pool - great length & handy having bar & food menu Loved having sliding door to open at night and balcony Most staff very helpful & friendly. Enjoyed the Kiri restaurant for the acai bowls and dinner - so close to the hotel.

The bedding smelled sweaty and used - but the lovely cleaning lady changed the pillows that were stained and changed the bedding for us. Much appreciated. Didn't like being within meters of a cellphone tower. If we came back I would want a room much further away.

Lovely hotel and staff. Great location. Loved my room and cleaners did a very good job daily

When we arrived someone had defecated in the children's pool which was very unpleasant. Staff were told but nothing was done and children were entering the dirty pool. I dont know how long it stayed like that but not a good first impression at all.

We were a couple + our 1 year old daughter and we stayed in a Artsy deluxe room that came with a king-sized bed. Room was good and the AC kept it nice and cool. Our room was 2nd floor and faced the breakfast dining area and we didn't have trouble with noise or anything. Breakfast was amazing - waffles with whipped cream and an assortment of toppings (if wanted), bacon, eggs, hams, sausage, fried tomatoes, fresh fruits and salads, yoghurts, quite a few local dishes, coffee (not recommended for us Melbourne sorts), tea, juices and bakery sweets. The kids playroom (with padded floor) was heaps better than any others we had been to and included a ball pit, couple of slides, lego and other toys. The restaurant associated with the (?Kiri) was really quite pleasant and we ate here 3 times. It was a little more pricey than your typical little eatery but if you were to order the same dish at both restaurants, then this one gave better bang for buck. For example, we got the pineapple fried rice at a local small restaurant and price was 120 thai baht and there were 2 prawns in it. But, at Kiri, it cost 160 Thai Baht (or something similar to that) but there were lots more prawns, serving size was bigger and a nicer atmosphere including non-plastic chairs. The pool had a big slide and everything else you wanted.

The gym didn't have AC although it did have 2 heavy duty fans that did the job. The heaviest weights were 12.5kg so it just meant modifying exercises to work with these. It would be nice to have a chin up bar and dip bar. At breakfast, a few people were filling containers with food (after already eating) and taking it away with them. There should be a sign there that states that offenders will be charged a full breakfast fee if caught doing this. It costs the equivalent of $5AUD for a decent lunch/ dinner at the local restaurants. If you're trying to save money, stay somewhere cheaper. Tight arses!

Lots of useful items provided in the room such as beach towels, a beach mat, umbrellas and flip flops. Rooms are excellent and having a balcony is a positive too, nice to sit out on at night. Location was a huge positive here, just a minutes walk to the beach and even less to the main strip of shops and restaurants.

As with most properties of this quality, the price was higher than most others but for the standard of accommodation, this was worthwhile .

The pillows and bed were comfortable, the location was ideal for walking to the beach, plenty of amenities for beach and swimming trips were provided, and the hotel was of exceptional value. I always enjoyed the swimming pool and had a great balcony view. They even left some adorable towels folded to resemble elephants.

My main issue was that the tiling in the shower was uneven, meaning water did not lead to the drain. This meant that every time you took a shower, a large puddle of cold water would remain. Also, some guests (namely some British and Russians) were sometimes loud, rude, or messy; though this is not the fault of the hotel.

Great location. Can't remember the exact terminology, but the better pool view room on the 4th floor was excellent and spacious. The standard room where we had to spend one night due to availability was fine, but a bit short on space for bags etc. The back side of the hotel also a bit noisy with Karon nightlife. Best features were short walk to the beach and restaurants and town life just up the short lane. Staff helpful with arranging ride to next location.

The two slight negatives above . No restaurant, only breakfast (but multiple options just outside). A bit big and crowded around pool, lifts etc.
