Karon - Beach is one of the resort areas of Phuket, where they prefer to shave with the rest. As in any other place, on Karon-bic there are hotels of different categories - and cheaper, and more expensive. In my article I would like to first make a review of hotels in Karon - Beach, and then tell the hotel in detail about the hotel in which I lived.
Hostels
Cheapest accommodation in caron are hostels and guest houses. On the caron there are several of them - it is Karon Beach Guest House, Kangaroo Guesthouse, My Friend's House, Relax Pub and Rooms . Prices for two weeks accommodation in March 2015 does not exceed 20 thousand for two people. In some hostels, the bathroom will be common. As you understand, you will be waiting for the highest possible room with a minimum of convenience - it will not far be the beach and the Thai sun.Three star hotels
Prices for 3 Star hotels start from 27 thousand in two weeks. For 30-35 thousand you will find a room with amenities - air conditioning, a TV (somewhere even with a flat screen), a swimming pool on site and breakfast. For such a price you can settle, for example, in Simplitel, Baan Suay Karon Beach or Rattana Beach Hotel.
Four star hotels
Prices for hotels 4 stars are significantly higher than on three-star - they start from 50 thousand rubles in two weeks. You are waiting for spacious rooms with additional options, a green area with a swimming pool and, as a rule, breakfast included in the price. For 50 - 60 thousand rubles you can relax in Access Resort and Villas, Karona Resort and Spa etc. There are also quite good four-hundredth hotels for 70-90 thousand.Five Star Hotels
Five-star hotels in Karone are not so much - just about five pieces. Prices for accommodation start from the mark of 120 thousand rubles. Among them can be called MoEvenpick Resort and Spa Karon, Mandarava Resort and Spa and Hilton.
Diamond Cottage Resort and Spa
For your two-week trip, we have chosen the Hotel Diamond Cottage Resort and Spa. In general, he also answered our requirements - we needed a 4-star hotel, with an average price for accommodation, located in the part of Karon - Beach, which is closest to the beach of Kata, as we read reviews about both beaches and came to the conclusion that We would like to spend time and there, and there. For two weeks, we gave 52 thousand rubles for two weeks. The price included breakfast, as well as free wireless internet.
So, starting a story about this hotel, first of all, I would like to note that in general it justified our expectations, although, of course, there were some negative moments. First of all, I will say that one of the main advantages of this hotel is its location. Karon's beach could be reached in 5-7 minutes, to Katu - for 10-15, so we rested on both beaches, choose depending on the number of people, waves and weather - if clouds were roaming and was the probability that goes Rain - they walked on Karon, you could easily reach the hotel if the weather promised to be good - as a rule, they chose a cat. In addition, the pros will be attributed to the service - the staff there is really good, polite, helpful, try to help and make your stay at the hotel as comfortable as possible. They speak English well, they serve quickly enough, for example, we spent 5-10 minutes from the reserves - we were offered cool drinks, we filled out the questionnaire, and we were spent in the room. The hotel's territory is very hilly, our body was on the elevation, so it was hard to go to the hill (especially under the scorching sun). In this case, the reception has electrocars, on which the staff will take you to the room. As a rule, there was someone who offered to bring us down, but I had to wait a couple of times. If the need to rise in a hill you are very confused, or you came with the elderly, then, perhaps, you should not choose this hotel.
As for the numbers - the rooms are quite spacious, clean, they retracted well there, the truth came at different times - from 11 am to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so we could never guess when the maid appears. The room was a large double bed, a wardrobe, a few bedside tables, a TV (not flat, quite old) with satellite channels, including two Russian, air conditioning and a fan under the ceiling, and a bathroom and a toilet. The room rate also included two bottles of drinking water daily, cosmetic accessories (shampoo and shower gel), as well as beach towels (they were changed every day). Our room, unfortunately, was in the old building, so, in my opinion, it was somewhat outdated - I mean furniture and doors, in my opinion, they did not very much corresponded to four stars, besides, not too much plumbing - also enough Old. As we learned later, there were numbers of the same category in the new building, but, of course, looking at a completely different way. By that time, we already lived in our number a couple of days, disassembled all things and decided not to move (as we understood it could be done by surchargeing some amount). So - with the number you may be lucky, and maybe not lucky, as it turns out. By the way, it was the number of category "Standard", on the booking site, it was called "Superior Two Room".
We have included breakfast - in general, it was medium. Boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, sausage, bread, from which you could make a toast, fried potatoes, some kind of hot dish (once there were even spaghetti), a couple of local dishes (I did not try, I can't say anything) , two types of yogurt, dried fruits, baking (muffins, cookies, cupcakes) and fresh fruits (watermelon, pineapple, papaya). From drinks were juices (chemical, of course), water, milk, tea and coffee. The food was tasty and high-quality, cases of poisoning during our stay at the hotel did not have. Breakfast I would appreciate it - nothing special, but there is everything you need. In general, we were enough.
Still in the hotel there was a small outdoor pool, sun beds, a spa salon (did not go) and a small green area, which could be wanted. As I have already mentioned above, we have a wireless Internet in our room rate - in our room it worked very well - there was constantly a steady signal and good speed.
So, K. Cons of the hotel I would attributed a number of outdated numbers, to Pluses - Location, maintenance and good Internet. Breakfast is normal.
