Independent Karon hotels

"Nice rooms friendly staff"

"We had an amazing stay at Sawasdee Village. The beautiful spaces, calming sounds and insence made for such a relaxing and comfortable space. Our Oasis suite was peaceful, very clean and had all the amenities we needed. All of the staff are so kind and accommodating. There are so many nice places to relax by the pool and the swim up bars are awesome. We really enjoyed the delicious food in the restaurant, especially the amazing range of cuisines in the breakfast buffet! I would highly recommend a stay at Sawasdee Village to anyone looking at visiting Kata Beach."

"We chose a pool front room in the we stayed in Vhari family room with swim out pool close to kids club. Fantastic hotel with lots to do with kids. Would go back every year!"

"Best breakfast buffet. Perfect location. Great staff"

"I had an amazing time here. Very peaceful stay, staff are extremely accommodating and helpful. Had an easy time getting to and from via BOLT. I would say the road to the property is extremely hilly so if you are going in the rainy season that could present a problem. The food here was amazing as well the chefs really do their big one with that Mango Sticky rice and coconut ice-cream. To be honest I didn't have a better Mango sticky rice on the entire Island. I loved the little foot pool on the balcony it was such a relaxing way to end the night and start the Morning."

"The Pullman was a great stay for us while we based ourselves in Phuket. The hotel was right on the beach and had many pool options for us to use. The kids club was FANTASTIC for our little one - one of the best clubs out of all the places we have been. It's hard to comment on the property as the place is undergoing renovations - that being said, the final day, they closed the entire main attrium for renovations. So whilst the restaurants, pool slide areas etc were all run down or shut - its hard to comment they were bad because theyre renovating and thats pretty understandable. Overall though, the hotel was extremely comfortable. The sea view room was incredible with a huge bathroom, a balcony view like the photo of the beach and pool. The breakfast was delicious every morning though could of had more options for children. Id stay again!"

"Staff brilliant, Rooms are very clean, beds are very comfortable. Downsides - sunbeds and umbrellas are cheap and some are falling apart. The grounds themselves need some tlc. We stayed 20 years ago and it was a beautiful hotel. Now it’s kids focused and some of the walkways are patched up with offcuts of astroturf."

"Deliecious breakfast with a wide range of foods available, slightly different each day. Beautiful swimming pools, happy hour between 4 and 6pm at the swim up pool bars with half price cocktails. Food was great for lunch around the pool and the onsite restaurant was fabulous, even had a cake for my birthday. Staff were wonderful and the spa was heaven. "

"We had an enjoyable stay at Novatel Kata Avista, Phuket. The staff were all very helpful and always friendly. The breakfast and dinner buffet were delicious. The negatives were that housekeeping often didn't clean our room until late in the day - inconvenient esp when you have kids and you want to settle down for the evening. Having said that - I did ask reception and they arranged for the room to be cleaned earlier the following day. I just feel it should be a given that rooms be cleaned by 2-3pm at the latest. Also, the hotel is located at the top of quite a steep hill - whilst it is walking distance to street food and markets, in the extreme heat, it makes for a challenging walk back to the hotel. The Kata Night Market was great!"
