About the hotel:
It s localled in the outside of Karon. Lovely place! Like a djungle! We stayed in the section: Tropicale, in premium room at first floor. Just to step out in a big clean pool. Free coffe, tee, pastries during the days and pre-dinner you get free drinks if you stay in the Tropicale section! The room was ok. Expected a little bigger room but it s ok if you just have the room to sleep in. No DVD and no free internet in this room wich I think they can include in this part of area. Never met so friendly and nice staff at any hotel in Thailand, and I ve stayed in a lot! Wonderful place! Great breakfast búffe! About 10minutes walk to the beach but it s worth, nice and clean beach. Absolutely recommend this hotel for single, pairs, familys! Thank You for a great stay! We ll be back!

About the hotel:
was a terrible mistake to choose karon beach and this hotel. karon beach is too dirty and this hotel is so crappy although it seems to be very classic and highend at the first sight. but the room we stayed just awful, first day we saw a cockroach in our room and the noise from downstairs timber factory was terrible. the next day we changed to another room, but still small bugs crawling everywhere if you look carefully and i found a spider in my bed at the last day!! the toilet was always dirty yellowish. the cleaning lady make up our room was trying to steal our snacks. and yes they have 3 pools in the hotel, but every time i want to have a clean towel i have to walk at least 5 mins to this place near one pool. very bad arrangement! p.s. i stayed at terrace ocean view room , maybe others will be better.

About the hotel:
We had a wondelful time at the Centara! We stayed at the Lagoon building. Our room was big and nice, with lots of space for 2 adults and 1 child. Excellent roomservice! The breakfast was very good, with lots of different dishes to choose from. The pool and pool area was great. You can also use the other two pools in the hotelarea if you wish. The beach is only a few minutes away, but we preferred the pool. We ate lunch at the pool resturant almost every day, they had great food. Very friendly staff with great service. The managment is swedish, very good for us scandinavians :) Highly recommended hotel!
About the reservation service:
No problems what so ever! Nice and smooth. We also ordered pick-up at the airport, and the driver waited over 2 hours for us because our flight was so late...great service!

About the hotel:
The facilities were very nice. Very friendly, courteous staff, and very helpful at all times. Room was cleaned and very presentable each day after cleaning.. The room I stayed in the water had rust/dirt coming out of the tap for the bathroom sink... the shower head could have been a much better spray... the spray was way to hard....
About the reservation service:
Booking service was great.... handled all of my requests in a professional and courteous manner.... very helpful with my requests....

About the hotel:
We have just returned from eight nights at this centrally located hotel and cannot praise it enough. From arrival to departure, we found staff to be pleasant and helpful. Our room, a Tropical Deluxe, was big, clean and easily accommodated a young family of four. Housekeeping was excellent as was the service at the nearby Tropix Lounge both morning and night. Breakfasts were enjoyable and varied. As for our young ones, they were hardly out of the pools and, if they were, could be found at the Just 4 Kids clubhouse that kept them entertained during the odd shower. It s only a short walk to the beach, restaurants and the more restrained Karon nightlife. A breath of fresh air from Patong. We aim to be back - and soon.
About the reservation service:
A friend recommended the service; I was not disappointed. Fast and efficient with no problems checking in. Will definitely use again.

About the hotel:
Believe this Hotel gave typically Thai value for money. Rooms are spacious and beds comfortable. We had only breakfast at the Hotel and this was good. Hotel is conveniently located in central Karon. The only complaint / negativity was the excessive noise (4.00 - 6.00 p.m. ish)from the swimming pool area near to our rooms. (We were there as a party of 9 people from England and Perth Aus.) We complained 3 or 4 times and the awful techno racket was reduced but still stayed very loud. On my penultimate day I got more than cross and came across so upset that the culprits turned their noise off!
About the reservation service:
Very good. Efficient!

About the hotel:
We stayed with our two children, 6 and 8 in a superior family room in the Terraces part of the resort and had an absolutely fantastic time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and all aspects of our stay from booking in, to organising transport and departure ran extremely smoothly. Breakfast was included and was an amazing variety. The rooms were very clean, spacious and quiet. The pools and grounds were impecably maintained and the 4pm Happy Hour at the swim up bar was thoroughly enjoyed by the adults. Smorgasboard dinner at the pool side restaurant was good value with kids eating for free. Would definitely stay here again.
About the reservation service:
After some initial language misunderstandings regarding the room type, the booking service was very easy to use and presented no problems - just remember to print off the booking confirmation and take it with you to present at check-in. Makes the whole process run a lot smoother.

Please connect to my previous comments regarding 1st night over booking. Sawadee came straight back to me after reading my complaint with a very generous reinbursment.
About the reservation service:
Excellent. Their relationship with the Hotel meant they did the negotiation, not me and had success. TOTALLY RECOMMENEDED

About the hotel:
The rooms are nice and clean although we were disappointed with the service we received. The front desk staff were not especially friendly. When we checked in, the room we had requested (1 king bed) was not available. We had to downgrade to a lesser room to get a king size bed. In this room, the electricity kept going out and the balcony door did not lock. The assistance we received to fix these problems was not satisfactory. We would not recommend it. Please also be aware that there is another hotel called Karon Beach Resort that is not the same as our taxi dropped us at the wrong hotel.
About the reservation service:
The booking service was fine although since we prepaid the non-refundable room fee we are not sure that we will be reimbursed for the difference in room price.
