We arrived at the hotel in the morning at 10 o'clock (check-in time: 14.00), but after half an hour we were settled in the room according to the voucher. Thais are friendly and tolerably communicate in English and a little in Russian. A deposit upon check-in is taken in the amount of 100 dollars (for a bar in your refrigerator).

We arrived at the hotel in the morning at 10 o'clock (check-in time: 14.00), but after half an hour we were settled in the room according to the voucher. Thais are friendly and tolerably communicate in English and a little in Russian. A deposit upon check-in is taken in the amount of 100 dollars (for a bar in your refrigerator). The room has: a TV, a refrigerator, a safe, a huge bed (very comfortable, the rest of the furniture is already worn out), a hair dryer, slates, bathrobes, towels and a bag for the beach, bath towels (changed daily along with cleaning the room, soap, gel and shampoo was replenished regularly), a kettle and two bottles of drinking water of 0.5 liters each, tea bags, coffee, cream, sugar. There are no chairs in the room, but there is an ottoman, a table and two chairs on the balcony, a clothes dryer. One Russian channel broadcasts on TV. WIFI in the room with passwords that you can get at the reception, but we bought a package for 8 days for 200 V in the 7 / eleven market, it worked tolerably, we even communicated with Russia via video. Breakfasts do not shine with variety, but there are soups and side dishes, scrambled eggs will be made to order, yogurts, fruits, salads, pastries, coffee, tea, drinks (not juices). Breakfast time from 6.30 to 11.30. Lunchboxes were ordered at the reception (we left for a tour at 6.00) - very scarce, add yourself if you are used to having a hearty breakfast. The hotel is located across the road from the beach, on the beach there are sun loungers with umbrellas of 200 V. The sea and the beach are clean, there is enough space for everyone.
Rate in exchangers: 0.47-0.48 rubles. for 1 V. We took both dollars and rubles, changed rubles, dollars left on duty free. I advise you to try Thai cuisine in different cafes, by sampling you will understand where you will be treated tastier and more sincerely. We took food both in macarons and in the market on the days of fairs (Tuesday and Friday) on the territory of the temple, there are pluses, everything is cooked in front of your eyes and you can try outlandish dishes.
Our young tourists are not afraid to take motorbikes without a Thai license, we did not risk it. We took excursions from our tour operator, but there were many offers from locals with good reviews. I really liked the Thai massage (the price tag is the same for all salons), we went by intuition and did not regret it, they stretched us very well. The rest was a success, they tried to stay at the hotel less, they enjoyed the sea, the sun, nature and exotic cuisine.

I want to write a review about this hotel, I’ll immediately make a reservation that I never wrote reviews wherever I rested, but this time I can’t help but write, there is no side chapel to my indignation, since we were robbed today !! ! Now we have been resting in more detail for 5 days, the dress, of course, does not reach 4, but it’s very good for 3.

I want to write a review about this hotel, I’ll immediately make a reservation that I never wrote reviews wherever I rested, but this time I can’t help but write, there is no side chapel to my indignation, since we were robbed today !! ! Now we have been resting in more detail for 5 days, the dress, of course, does not reach 4, but it’s very good for 3. Until today, everything was fine, we didn’t pay attention to minor flaws, but we came to rest. But today, on a local transfer from the hotel, we went to a hypermarket on a flood, for a gift for my son, he has a jam day tomorrow. Upon arrival, we found that $ 250 had disappeared from the safe, and maybe the amount is not large, but it’s like a shit to the soul, because. K. We always left for tea, and in the local bar, when making orders, we always didn’t forget to leave for tea, so that Russians would remember us well, my husband taught us that way. And today, it's just a setuation in general, it's just terrible. Tomorrow the local guide promised to figure it out, although I don’t know how she manages to do it. A and P. S. Today I tried to write a review about the hotel in the programs of eminent people, but the reviews are deleted or censorship does not pass at all

The hotel is awesome. We chose to be close to the sea and infrastructure. I really liked the front desk staff and all the staff in general. Nearby are full of restaurants, cafes, sandy beach, etc. The rooms are carefully cleaned, spacious, bright, everything inside is new.

For the first time, we rested with my wife in Thailand on about. Phuket! Hotel South Sea Karon Resort 4 *. Tour operator Paks. We flew with Transaero Airlines from Domodedovo Airport. I must say right away that my wife and I always respect the work of others, we never tune in to the bad and try to relax as much as possible and not participate in various showdowns.

For the first time, we rested with my wife in Thailand on about. Phuket! Hotel South Sea Karon Resort 4 *. Tour operator Paks. We flew with Transaero Airlines from Domodedovo Airport. I must say right away that my wife and I always respect the work of others, we never tune in to the bad and try to relax as much as possible and not participate in various showdowns. This I mean that in general, I really liked everything, but there were some disadvantages that did not overshadow our vacation.
So, everything is in order!
1. o. Phuket, Karon beach - they chose to rest on the island, as they had read that beach holidays on the island are much better - the beaches and the sea are cleaner. We did not aspire to the well-known Patong Beach, since we are not lovers of nightlife and noisy entertainment, we chose a hotel located on Karon Beach. Impressions from the sea and from the sand of Karon beach are the best. On the far left side of Karon beach are rocks where you can enjoy snorkelling. In this place, the underwater world is beautiful: many different fish, crabs, jellyfish, starfish of different colors, once a moray eel was seen. By the way, a very beautiful hotel is located in the same part, you can walk along its territory from the beach - two wooden stairs lead from the beach to the jungle up just to its territory.
2. Hotel South Sea Karon Resort 4 * - the hotel is, without exaggeration, good. A $100 deposit is required prior to arrival. It has a convenient location relative to the sea. To a good descent to the beach from the hotel about 10 meters across the road. The hotel does not have its own territory, only the inner territory inside the hotel buildings (if you imagine the letter “O”, then the hotel territory is inside the letter “O”). The interior territory is well decorated, there is a swimming pool, there is a recreation area. The entrance to the hotel, the passage to the pool and further to the buildings - everything is open, without doors. I also note the cozy area in front of the hotel near the roadway - there are no tuk-tuks, merchants and outlets, they start a little to the left and right, in front of the hotel there is a small forest and a good descent to the sea. There are no complaints about the hotel staff, everything was done on time and well. We only had breakfasts - the choice of food is predictable, not big, but good for a hearty meal. I will only note what we ate: soup, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried bacon, rice (very tasty), pasta, sausages, French toast (croutons in common people), yogurt, fried potatoes, several types of juices, cereal, milk , bakery products, fruits - there were always: watermelons, pineapples, bananas. Near the hotel there are a lot of shops and cafes for every taste. Lunch in a cafe without drinks and delicacies costs an average of 250-300 baht per person. You can save a little on the cost of dinner, as many cafes offer free salads for dinner (sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, onions). I will note a few negatives about the hotel that we remember: - we got some kind of defective room 251a, as if it was supposed to be a plus to 251. Its inferiority was that it did not have a normal wardrobe, there was only a niche for clothes in the bathroom. Imagine storing things in high humidity, where wet things practically do not dry, and even in the bathroom, where you go several times a day to wash yourself. Also, there were no chairs or a table in the room, only on the balcony. In general, they adapted as best they could. The room was on the second floor, overlooking the pool. By the way, I no longer noticed that some other Russian tourists were given a room overlooking the pool, only foreigners. Our friends had good rooms, but they were located at the back of the hotel and overlooking neighboring hotels; - mosquitoes tormented us at night, it’s not clear where they came to us from, since we didn’t leave the balcony door open, but they flew in and we had to catch them every day before going to bed.
3. The work of the Paks hotel guide, excursions - I didn’t like the meeting with the hotel guide of the Paks tour operator named Etibar! We were given very little information on excursions, the prices were announced verbally, as if they had just been invented, the attitude towards us was like in a market - just to knock out more money from us for excursions on the first day. We signed up only for an introductory tour, since it was free, and for an excursion to the Semilane Islands, since initially we really wanted to go to them. On the same day, for the sake of interest, we approached the hotel guide Natalie of the Pegast tour operator and talked with her about excursions and about Thailand in general. And here the difference was noticed between our "native" hotel guide and the guide of another tour operator with whom, by the way, we flew to other countries more than once. Guide Natalie of the Pegast tour operator gladly signed us up for her free sightseeing tour, we also bought an excursion from her - a trip to the National Park, I don’t remember exactly its name, something like “Khao Salk”. Excursions to the Semilan Islands from Pegast cost 3900 baht per person, and if we hadn’t bought this excursion from Paks, we would have bought, albeit a little more expensive, this excursion from Pegast, because on vacation it’s important for us the quality of how they bring information and attitude towards you as to tourists - we liked the attitude of the hotel guide Natalie of the tour operator Pegast much more than our "native" hotel guide Etibar of the tour operator Paks.
As a result, we went on two sightseeing tours with tour operators Pegast and Paks. A sightseeing tour with the Pegast tour operator was more interesting for us. Our guide's name was Antonina, she spoke beautifully, interested us, we watched and listened to her very carefully. But on a sightseeing tour with the tour operator Paks, it was Etibar that went with us and here he confirmed our opinion about him, there was little information on the tap, all of it was sucked out of the “finger sucked”, an unrelated text, besides, he was often distracted - like times to solve their problems and claims that tourists voiced to him by phone. I also note the following: during a sightseeing tour with the Pegast tour operator, we were brought to a store selling latex products, where pillows cost 2500 baht apiece, but during a sightseeing tour with the Paks tour operator, we were already brought to another store selling latex products, where pillows already cost 3.900 baht apiece. We bought pillows on the first occasion and were very happy with it!
The excursion to the National Park with the Pegast tour operator was wonderful. I especially remember riding on elephants along mountain paths in the jungle and rafting on rafts through the jungle in a magnificent mountain range.
I also really liked the excursion to the Semilan Islands. Luckily, Etibar was not with us. But we understood that he could not be with us, because some local agency organizes a trip to this excursion, the tour operator delivers only to the pier, and then the local agency is already lucky. A small nuance: we bought excursions at the maximum cost, it could have been a little cheaper, the difference is: in a freebie on board - in free fruits and drinks and in the time during which you are delivered to the islands. In a cheaper version, you are taken on twin-engine boats, and in a more expensive one, on three-engine ones, that is, the time during which you stay on the islands increases. The underwater world and white sand of the Semilan Islands is simply amazing!
And finally, the last thing I would like to note in our trip is that the day before departure, the Paks tour operator sent us a letter about the time when we would be picked up from the hotel and the time of departure from the airport, the letter also contained the phrase they say check us with the data you have . Well, how is it: you fly to rest and you still have to worry about yourself, and indeed, the departure time was indicated not ours, I had to call the tour operator, explain to him about the departure time and flight number, wait for his answer and make sure that the tour operator is wrong , indicated the wrong time for both departure and the time when we would be picked up from the hotel!
The rest of the rest in Thailand on about. We really liked Phuket, we hope to return here someday!
So, everything is in order!

We rested in December 2010. The hotel moved from 3 * to 4 *. This is a wonderful, very comfortable, quiet hotel! We rested together with my husband and were satisfied : ) The hotel is located next to the sea. The beach is municipal and free, but clean and tidy. The hotel is mostly Europeans. From the Russians were we and a neighboring couple.

We rested together with my husband and were satisfied : ) The hotel is located next to the sea. The beach is municipal and free, but clean and tidy. The hotel is mostly Europeans. From the Russians were we and a neighboring couple. Nearby are markets, shops, cafes, restaurants, ATMs. At 23.00 the whole coast of Karon calms down (everyone sleeps) : ) By tuk-tuk you can go anywhere on the island at any time and return to the hotel. The staff is friendly (they meet you at the reception, see you off, wish you a good day, etc. ), though they don’t even understand a word in Russian : ) We don’t speak English either, but we calmly communicated with gestures : ) The room is beautiful, there is a view garden and pool. We had a room on the second floor overlooking the garden, palm trees and flowers grew there (although the garden is very small, which adds coziness and comfort). The room is bright, plumbing worked properly. In the room for free: electronic lock, hairdryer, slippers, bathrobes, beach towels, safe, refrigerator, kettle, tea accessories, beach bag... every day they brought tea bags, water, coffee 3 in 1 for free. They cleaned every day, change of linen by pressing the "Cleaning the room" button at the entrance. We had breakfast included in the tour: they are monotonous, but you can choose to your liking: bacon, eggs, scrambled eggs, cheese, butter, pastries, fruits, juices, tea, coffee, jam, Thai food...
Next time we go to Phuket, we will choose this hotel! Have a nice rest : )

I have never written any reviews about hotels before, but now I have decided, because. The hotel exceeded my and my husband's expectations. So in order: 1. Numbers. We took the most ordinary number. There was a huge double bed, a bathroom, a huge sofa, slippers, bathrobes, a kettle, a hairdryer... while the star rating of this hotel is only 3 stars, and the room looks like all 5.

I have never written any reviews about hotels before, but now I have decided, because. The hotel exceeded my and my husband's expectations. So in order:
1. Numbers. We took the most ordinary number. There was a huge double bed, a bathroom, a huge sofa, slippers, bathrobes, a kettle, a hairdryer... while the star rating of this hotel is only 3 stars, and the room looks like all 5. We were on the 2nd floor, so everything was with a balcony OK. He went out to a nearby hotel, but I think that there is nothing wrong with that.
2. Someone wrote about the fact that the pool is dirty. We checked in on December 31st and on January 1st in the evening the water in the pool was really cloudy, because. Jan 1 is a day off. But then I saw that they wash the pool every day with a water vacuum cleaner. But people, you came to the sea, you can swim in the pool in Russia. I never understood people who swim in the pool. Rave!
3. Beach. In Karon Bay, it seems to me that only our hotel had a normal access to the sea, maybe. immediately after leaving the hotel, a wooden bridge was built there, a cat. goes to the beach. In other hotels, just a path in the sand....
4. Sea. Beautiful. The coastline is long and wide. Everywhere I read about the fact that at low tide the corals are exposed and it is impossible to swim. I don’t know how it is in other bays, but there is no such thing on Karon! In fact, there are no fish. I think that you need to go to the Red Sea for the ryuks.
5. Tomorrow in hotels. Again, I will say that this is not Turkey and Egypt. The tables certainly do not break... But this is Thailand. Tomorrow consisted of: several types of cereal, egg dishes of your choice (cooked in front of you), pasta, sausages, cheese, sausage, fruits (pineapple, watermelon, papaya), jam, bread and the ability to make toast from bread.
6. Excursions. We went to only 2 - the Similan Islands and Phao Song (if I'm not mistaken). The first (Similans) is fantastic. The islands are awesome: turquoise sea, huge boulders and vegetation. The Maldives are resting. By the way, the guides say that the rest of the islands are almost the same, only a little worse. Therefore, we decided not to go to others. The islands are located 90 km from Phuket. Ride by boat for an hour and a half. But it's worth it.
The second (Phao Song) included a visit to the city of monkeys, an hour canoeing on the river (very beautiful) and 2 people in a spoon and you are being taken... I even took a nap at the end and riding elephants through the jungle.
In general, if you go to Phuket, then I advise this hotel. Just ask not for the first floor, because. there balconies go directly to the pool....and I feel uncomfortable when you can’t go out onto the balcony and eat calmly, for example, fruit... )))

In general, if you go to Phuket, then I advise this hotel. Just ask not for the first floor, because. there balconies go directly to the pool....and I feel uncomfortable when you can’t go out onto the balcony and eat calmly, for example, fruit... )))

Old unkempt hotel, with a complete lack of territory and service. Always a dirty pool, broken old sun loungers, things scattered around the territory.
Guests throw beach towels on the floor (as is customary). Bed linen is generally changed according to a very interesting principle, which we have not been able to understand, it is changed in parts, i. e. on some day, the pillowcases change after a few more days, the sheet, then the duvet cover, and by the last manipulation, the first component remains unchanged.
The advantages of the hotel include: location in a good bay and tolerably cooked breakfasts.
In conclusion, I want to say that we are not the first time in Thailand, and the attitude towards tourists this year is much worse, which makes us think about the next trip to the kingdom of Thailand. Oversaturation with tourists affects everything, in hotels and restaurants, a trip on local tuk-tuks already requires much more money, shopkeepers call exorbitant prices, after which they themselves kick you out. they do not bargain, and the price they ask for the goods is simply shocking.
So they behave not only in the resort area, but also in Bangkok.
