Hotels in Karon Beach, Phuket

This is an amazing resort for family members, especially kids who enjoy playing in the water slide and playground. The breakfast is delicious, and the location is close to everything you need. It seems like renovated since came here last time.

Extended my stay one more day . May house is 15mins walk to beach. If you want to visit old Phuket town, just cross the road and wave the public bus, 40 Baht per trip. Within 5 mins walk you will reach supercheap or mini big C. You can buy alot of snacks or daily from there. If you need some local food, can order from may house, after cook they will bring up to your room. Super super convenience.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was as advertised to be just a one-minute walk away from Karon Beach, and the staff took care of us extremely well throughout our stay. The room was spacious and cleaned well daily, and the two restaurants at the hotel served delicious food at arguably affordable prices for restaurant hotels. The pool was also clean and looked well-maintained. Highly recommended for anybody looking for a quieter place to chill and relax at!

My parents were so happy staying at this hotel. They wanted to explore other location apart from Patong beach and this hotel is so good in terms of both location-wise and price. :)

The hotel is forbidden to enter, which gives me a sense of security when traveling alone. The staff are very enthusiastic, they will say hello when they meet, and any problems will be solved immediately. Regarding hygiene, since it is an old resort, the bedding is very clean and comfortable. In terms of hotel facilities, the hotel has two large swimming pools. In addition, the hotel's greening and other activity facilities are also very good. However, after all, it opened early and the facilities are somewhat aging. Regarding water quality, it is recommended that you bring a filtered showerhead. The water quality in Thailand is really poor. The hotel is located right next to Karon Beach, just across the road from the back door. There are street lights on the street, it is spacious and bright, and it is safe to travel at night. There are messages and restaurants nearby, making entertainment and dining very convenient. I highly recommend this hotel!

Very disappointed with the reception! Understand that English is not your mother tongue but it’s no harm to say “Please”  The girls were a bit rude in their tone of voice. Please don’t get me wrong, we travelled so many countries and on this trip we have been in many parts of Thailand but didnt expect this kind of service at Pullman Group Hotel.

Hotel is right on the beach in Karon (only hotel which offers this I believe) so the location is perfect for those who want beach access. Nothing else in the nearby area though, apart from a beach restaurant called Daengs - very reasonably priced food and drinks here; you will visit this place plenty rather than eating and drinking in the hotel. Compared to what you get outside, the hotels prices are high and you’d be foolish to eat all the time in the hotel with so many great food options in Karon, Patong and Kata. Karon town centre is about a 15-20 min walk along the beach - you have to cross a river on the beach so be prepared to get wet feet. Otherwise the walk into town is on a busy road with no walkway, so be prepared to use Bolt (this is best for Phuket NOT Grab) or a taxi to get anywhere from this hotel unless you walk along the beach. Our room was huge - Premium Room - and we had a huge wraparound balcony. However the balcony seemed like a bit of a waste of space (the “lounge” area was outside) - personally I think if it’s going to be designed as a suite with a lounge area, that should be inside the room not on the balcony as it was a waste of space. I’d probably only book this room category if I liked sitting outside all the time - a standard balcony with more space inside would’ve worked better. Having said that, the buildings and the grounds are IMMACULATE and BEAUTIFUL and you really do feel like you are staying in a paradise resort. The pool areas are great, there is a lazy river, slides and a cliff you can jump off - it’s a lot of fun for water babies! The only downside (other than no 7-11 or no other restaurants nearby) is that there are a LOT OF STAIRS to tackle here at the resort. There seem to be only 2 x elevators which will take you from the ground floor up to the bedrooms - and they are situated at either end of all the blocks. We stayed in block 4 and it was a 15 min trek back to the room from the pool. Or you walk up 72 stairs…yes, 72 stairs, to get to your block. Not advisable for elderly or infirm people. If there were more elevators (and clearly marked step free access) then this would make the resort a lot better.

A decent hotel that has undergone big renovation recently.. they said it took almost 2 years to do the overhaul renovation though there are still hits and misses as pristine it is not. Hits - rather new and modern looking. Pretty sumptuously buffet breakfast with smiling service staff although I wish they will brush up on their command of their English language for ease of effective communication.  Misses:  The elevator is old and not renovated. Well the guest room which I stayed in is decent with big floor to ceiling windows on both sides with mountain and a far away ocean view, the bathroom is not the most practical. Furnishing and fixtures are also of sub-par quality.  Location wise this comes down to personnel preferences. It’s tucked away inside a very busy chaotic, old street filled with shops, restaurants and bars. Whilst is rather convenient in that regard, I personally prefer to stay somewhere in a far less busy and bustling street. Especially when the neighbourhood is rather hideous looking filled with old ugly buildings and even uglier and mind boggling is the overhead wires / cables running across the buildings. What an eye sore for seekers of idyllic vacation.   I will rather choose to stay in a neighbour hood such as Kata Noi or Nai Harn Beach. Or at least on the promenade facing ocean side of the Karon away from the maddening crowds and many hideous surrounding sights. Thus, alas the location and neighbourhood of  Centara Karon for me was def the least desirable part of my entire stay this time in Phuket.

This is a 2 star hotel AT BEST. I booked a double bed, but they gave me twin. I told the reception and they told me to wait in my room. I was thinking they’re gonna change my room but all they did was stick 2 single beds together. ***? I’d fall off the little crack in the middle 💀 The toilet was also clogged when I arrived to my room. Water pressure is very low, and it kept getting hot and cold. Basically taking a shower here was HELL. The staffs are friendly and nice, good pool, and the ac works just fine. My balcony was also spacious, but the bad outweighs the good, in my opinion. I do NOT recommend, especially for my fellow Japanese travelers.

Absolutely loved our 3 nights stay here. Very clean resort and close by to amenities. Highly recommended. 👏🏾 Only feedback will be the children’s pool had some sharp edges and actual rocks surrounding it. If a child hits on it while playing, it can be very dangerous. Something to look at :)
