Guest Reviews

• Sofia (4/5): Uselt skick - Det som var bra var läget men oerhört otrevlig personal, skicket på hotellet var slitet och rummen upplevdes inte rena. Det kröp myror inne konstant och mellan receptionen och restauranger var det en råtta på kvällen.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location close to the beach , nice pool , friendly staff
• Michael (8/5): - Great pool, nice modern spacious room
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not worth it - Bed was hard, bathroom moldy and outdated, breakfast was terrible, restaurant staff very rude. Just spend a few extra money, and stay next door at Sugar Marina Art
• Verified traveler (8/5): - first room had trouble with air con but staff were very helpful and moved us to different room overall a great place to stay on a budget
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Love the staff, the breakfast, the pool and the room. Don’t like the poor wifi, the in room shower.
• Sakal (8/5): Correct - Ensemble est bien sauf la climatisation ne marche pas très bien
• Ole bonde (10/5): - Dejligt hotel hjælpsomt personale god beliggenhed
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice location good staff. - Very nice staff and a pool that lived up to expectations and the photos! Lots of restaurants close by and of course the Beach is close and fantastic!
• dave (10/5): Very relaxing hotel - A very thoughtfully designed hotel with a decent swimming pool and pleasant gardens with mini waterfall features adding to the relaxed atmosphere which also had pleasant bird song.The service from reception was excellent from the start,the breakfast was very Good with European and Asian choices.Room was comfortable and poolside bar prices every reasonable for beer and light meals.Within walking distance of decent bars and restaurants as well as the beach.Very quiet although live bands played not far away.
• Gilbert (10/5): App made this booking easy - Very nice hotel very clean good people working there and I got a great price using this app better than I could have gotten from the front desk
• David.S (8/5): - The hotel location is great if you want to stay in Karon but car parking very limited. The staff were all very pleasant and the room quite good. There was a lot of sand on the floor of the bedroom which is not so nice. One of the curtains was hanging down which I repaired and then it was ok. The hotel was good for the price.
• Travis (10/5): Fun. Relaxing. Close To Everything. - Quick Check-in. Friendly Staff. Clean Room. Beautiful Pool & Mountain View. Tasty Breakfast. Easy Distance To Beach & Night Markets.
• HENG CHONG (6/5): Value for money - The hotel value for money you pay,nothing much to complain only need to improve the wifi at room sometimes will disconnect.
• Cem (6/5): Top Lage, aber laute Musik bis 2 uhr - -das Hotel befindet sich in einer super lage. in der Nähe von unzähligen Restaurants, Bars usw.. Und auch nur ein paar Gehminuten zum Strand entfernt - Laute musik (life Musik) bis ca. 2 Uhr - Wer ein zimmer direkt über der Lobby bekommt, wird jeden tag bis ca. 2 Uhr die Life Band hören (Instrumente unter anderem Gitarre und Schlagzeug + jeden Tag die selben Lieder)
• Anders (8/5): - Bra läge, nära till strand och nöjen. Begränsad frukost
• Helga (6/5): Hotel in guter Lage - Schön angelegter Garten mit Pool. Frühstück bestand aus kalten u wärmen Speisen und war sehr gut. Die Sauberkeit der Zimmer ließ zu wünschen übrig. Die Möbel waren alt und es krabbelten ganz kleine Tierchen an Wand und Möbel
• Pree (6/5): Well priced comfortable stay in Karon - Comfortable place stay with out many frills and reasonably priced. Centrally located and very close to the beach. Did not find the staff very friendly, however they attended to requests efficiently. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Had a large pool that I did not use as I preferred to swim in the sea. I would exclude the breakfast in the booking as it was not great and there are plenty of cafes nearby for breakfast
• Peter jan (10/5): Dejligst hotel i Karon - Hotellet ligger 2min.gang fra alt bar og restauranter når man er ved poolen eller værelset er der ingen støj.vi har været der før og kommer igen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastisk beliggenhed. Hjælpsom,venlig,glad personale. Kun en i receptionen havde vist en dårlig dag. Dejligt byliv og tæt på fantastisk strand. Dejlig pool med hyggelig poolbar. Vi kommer igen
• Luca (8/5): - Hotel a 5 minuto a piedi dalla spiaggia di Karon e vicinissimo a ristoranti e market.
• MOMO (6/5): お値打ちホテル - 海に近いので選びました。マッサージ、食事が近くにあったので、ラクでした。 従業員の方は、皆明るく陽気な感じでした。 値段が安かったので、ホテルの朝食や、設備は、納得な感じです。
• KW (6/5): Good Location near to beach - even this Hotel is not opposite the beach, but is very close and walking distance to beach, but the hotel breakfast every day is same, need more improvement.
• Taina (8/5): Lyhyt matka kaikkialle - Runsaalla aamupalalla päivä lähti hyvin käyntiin. Kiva henkilökunta,mukava uima-allas alue,siisti ja viihtyisä huone ja sijainniltaan loistava hotelli jonne voisi kyllä palata.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Close to the beach, gross hotel - This hotel is close to the beach but it is not a resort by any means. We had a late arrival and our room was guaranteed which was nice. However, upon arrival the employee at the desk barley talked, mostly grunted. We asked him about a few services the hotel offered and he said they didn't offer it yet there was posters advertising these services around the hotel. Our double bed was two twins pushed together. Over everything the thing that I was most annoyed with was the dirty bedding. One pillow had an obvious blood stain and the sheets had yellow brownish stains. The towels were also old and stained. I had to ask the employee at the front desk for new sheets (I offered to change them myself) and he just moaned and insisted that they were just changed. To his benefit he changed the bedding (I helped) but had the worst attitude from the very beginning.
• Tracey (10/5): Great location. Close to everything - Have stayed here 2-3 times before and have booked to stay here again next year. Pool access rooms are lovely.
• mitch (8/5): - Stayed in one of the Villas, for the price I would definitely stay again, no real issues
• Verified traveler (2/5): big failure - the hotel has an awesome location as it is 3 min away from the beach besides that this hotel needs A LOT of improvement. Our air conditioner didn't work since they gave us the room. the cealing of the room was full of filtrations and the shower didn't drained and as no body speaks english it was mission impossible to have someone to fix it instead we used twizzers to take the bathtub plugged and be able to shower. Beds in thailand are usually hard but the pillows were more like rocks. They never cleaned the bathroom hardly they did the bed. Most of the times we also had to ask them to clean the room because they would usually not do it. There is a HUGE rat that seems to live in the lobby!! and you can see it crossing from the lobby to where the fountains are multiple times in the day. I don't know how are the other rooms but we never had interner in the room. The only area were the wifi works is at the lobby.
• Andy (10/5): Great location and staff - Really nice place to stay. Perfect location, near the beach, shops, bars. Staff amazing and friendly. Pool is great. Breakfast was very good, though a little more variety would be welcome. Halfway through a relaxing holiday and have extended my stay here due to location, staff, price, pool and just being in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
• Chonlada (10/5): God hotel - Dejlig flot og hyggeligt lille værelse, vi havde udsigt til poolen. Og hotellet lå 5-6 minutters gå tur væk fra stranden. Men ellers lå der bar og al muligt i nærheden, og stor marked inde i tempelet som man skal opleve, for der er det meget billigt marked. Personalet var utrolig søde og spørgsomlige. Så kunne godt finde på at besøge dem igen.
• PAOLO (6/5): Hotel economico con pessima colazione - L'albergo è massimo di 3 stelle, non di più. Pulizia 3; personale 3; piscina 4; camera 3. La camera era molto umida. Non tutto il personale parla inglese. Per fare il nostro check - in, abbiamo aspettato quasi 2 ore, perchè hanno dimenticato di mettere un letto aggiuntivo! Anche se ho prenotato per 3 persone e ho pagato per 3. Quando siamo entrati in camera abbiamo capito che era tutto pronto solo per 2 persone. Dopo varie discussioni, ci hanno fatto uscire dalla camera e aspettare ancora quasi un ora alla reception. Non è stata per niente una cosa piacevole dopo un viaggio di 2 giorni. Colazione è pessima, poca roba e neanche buona.La spiaggia è a 5 minuti. La spiaggia era molto bella e con poca gente. L'acqua pulita e calda. Si può trovare le strutture migliori a questo prezzo.
• Tatiana (10/5): Отличный отель на Кароне - Отель очень понравился. Мы приезжаем сюда второй раз. Чистое, белоснежное белье. Хорошие, просторные номера. В номере огромная кровать, есть сейф, большой телевизор с 2 русскими каналами, чайник с бесплатным чайным набором, фен, холодильник, 2 бутылки воды выдавали каждый день. В ванне большие бутылки с шампунем и гелем для душа. Близко к морю (около 5 минут неспеша). Отель находится в небольшом углублении от улицы, поэтому вечером там всегда тихо. Рядом магазины «7 eleven» и др., напротив отеля минимаркет, цены там, как и в гос. магазинах. Очень много массажных салонов (массаж с маслом составит 350 батт), есть бассейны с рыбками для пилинга ног (100бат 20 минут). Около отеля обменный пункт, где всегда хороший курс. Вокруг много кафешек, близко храм (в противоположную сторону от моря), где по вторникам и пятницам проходит вечерний рынок, там можно закупить и фрукты домой и сувениры, вещи, игрушки, и попробовать местную еду. Фрукты рядом с храмом намного дешевле, чем у моря. Завтрак в отеле нас вполне устроил: есть и суп, и овощи (сырые и запеченые), и фрукты (арбузы и папайя), гарнир, яишница, омлет, сосиски, ветчина, курица, масло, джем, тосты и различные мюсли с молоком. Чай, кофе, соки. Никто не ограничивает и всегда свободно. Нам вполне хватало. Персонал очень приветливый, всегда улыбаются и откликаются на любые просьбы.Большой, чистый бассейн с джакузи и детской пластиковой горкой. Есть небольшой бассейн для самых маленьких. Море в апреле замечательное, прозрачное
• Andrea (10/5): Ottima qualità/prezzo e comodo a tutto - L'Hotel è bello, le stanze sono comode pulite moderne e con balcone affacciato sulla piscina. Piscina ottima e quasi deserta. Colazione abbondante. i punti di forza dell'hotel sono la qualità/prezzo e la comodità a tutti i servizi, anche se non si dispone di un mezzo proprio (per gli scooter c'è comunque un parcheggio privato e sorvegliato)
• steve (8/5): Excellent location. Very clean. - Right in the centre of Karon and close to beach. Very clean hotel and the supplied brekky is fine.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Excellent location is the only real plus - Location is close to the beach and to restaurants and nightlife. Most rooms face the pool and nightlife noise is not a significant issue for those rooms. Rooms and beds were just OK. First 3 of 5 days no wifi. The whole Soi was out. Once back on it was OK sometimes and impossibly slow others. Included breakfast follows the normal routine but quite low in terms of quality and variety. When I was there it was sunny every morning and cloudy/raining in the afternoons. As a result I went to the beach every morning and came back to the hotel each afternoon. Each morning I put out the sign asking for the room to be made. Each day housekeeping showed up about 2:30 PM wanting to make up the room. Needless to say it did not happen. Room for improvement to say the least.
• Alevtina (10/5): Хороший отель - Все отлично. Отдыхали с 26 марта по 5 апреля 2017. Довольны отелем, персоналом, бассейном. Полотенца меняли каждый день, тщательная уборка. Претензий нет.
• Peter (10/5): Nice and clean, friendly staff. Highly reccomended - I will defiantly stay again! Close to everything.Beaches are wonderfull!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Отличное расположение, красивая территория - Отель очень удачно расположен - 5 минут до моря, но в уютном дворике. Красивая зеленая территория, хороший бассейн. В целом, отель соответствует фото и описанию. Отличный wi-fi. Парковка.
• Annette (10/5): - Great location near the beach and restaurants. Happy friendly staff. Breakfast was a surprise as you never knew what would turn up. Lasagne or Mc cheese. The only thing I will say is breakfast is until 10.30am but if you turn up after 9am the food isn't always replenished.
• boråsare (6/5): Centralt o nära till stranden - Först ett rum med stark mögellukt i badrummet men efter ett mkt otrevligt bemötande fick vi till slut ett annat bättre rum
• ALEXANDER (10/5): Хороший отель с бассейном и близко к морю! - В целом отель оставил положительные впечатления. Отдыхал с женой. Брали номер на первом этаже с выходом в бассейн. Положительные моменты: - отличное расположение отеля (близко к морю - 3 минуты ходьбы, немного в стороне от главной дороги, рядом с отелем огромное кол-во кафе, ресторанов); - великолепный бассейн (большой, чистый, очень комфортный). Что хотелось бы улучшить: - медленный интернет и не всегда ловит в номере; - ванная комната - требует ремонта (стоит ванна, а не душевая кабина, но вся уже потертая, покрыта налетом). Пользоваться ей было брезгливо. - завтрак. В целом было небольшое разнообразие, но часто не хватало фруктов, просили пожарить яичницу, но не всегда могли ее дождаться, т.к. повар жарил ее один на одной сковороде для всего отеля. Но если спросите меня вернулся ли я еще раз в этот отель, то я сказал бы - ДА!!!!
• varvara (10/5): Отличное соотношение цена качество - Не выбрасывайте пустые стеклянные бутылки из под воды,которые вам оставляют в номере!
• Verified traveler (6/5): ビーチやレストランに近いホテル。 - ホテルの立地はビーチやレストランに近く便利で良い。部屋でのWi-Fiは繋がる時とそうでない時があり、水道やシャワーの水圧が悪い。朝食はいくつか品数があるが、味は今ひとつで美味しいとは言えない。プールの施設は良いと思うが、隣の敷地が工事中のようで、プールのデッキで休んでいる時も、ずっとドリルの爆音がしており、リゾート感がなかった。繁華街からちょっと奥まったところにあるので、夜は部屋のエアコンの音以外は静かであった。フロントの女性は、ニコニコして感じが良かった。
• Richard Geoffery (10/5): Waiting to return - This was my third visit to the Karon Whale Resort Hotel (2003,2016 and 2017) and my seventh visit to Karon Beach,I personally love it there,the weather was between 30 & 38 degrees for the month I was there,the staff were very friendly and always smiling,nothing was too much trouble and the hotel is just off Patak Road which is the main road up through the town from the beach which is about 300yds away,Patak Road is about 80yds from the entrance to the hotel and very busy but you don't hear the traffic noise at the hotel,an ideal location for someone who wants to 'get away from it all',there is a lovely pool with a poolside bar which supplies snacks and drinks,the beer is cheaper than most bars which is unusual but welcoming,a lovely size large/king sized bed and very comfortable which gives you a good nights sleep.
• Anette (10/5): - Ett jättebra hotell, kommer helt klart bo där igen. Bra service, fina rum, bra pool, god frukost o ett fåtal men bra rätter på lunchmenyn, läget helt perfekt.
• Barbara (10/5): Located close to karon beach - Lovely clean pool to swim in, and private shower an toilet near pool, tea and coffee making in the room, beds very comfortable. Breakfast was good, but not much hot food choice for a vegetarian.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Albergo molto vicino al mare, accesso al centro - Molto bella la posizione, confort accettabili, servizio disponibile, ottimo prezzo. Spno convinto di aver fatto una ottima scelta. Se tornero a Karon penso di scegliere lo stesso albergo
• Louis-Michel (10/5): Un retour possible - Très calme, bien situé. Excellent service.
• Mo. (4/5): Whale Resort,Nicht noch einmal !!!! - Karon Whale Resort.....nie wieder !!!! Hotelzimmer war von der Ausstattung in Ordnung, aber mit den Ameisen hatten wir ein Problem, ob es auf dem Bett war oder auf dem Tisch !!!! man konnte kein Essenssachen auf den Tisch stellen am nächsten Morgen war es befallen mit den Ameisen.. Der Wasserhahn am Waschbecken war locker man konnte es hin u. her schwingen....Wir haben am zweiten Tag ein schnippel unter dem Waschbecken gelegt, es wurde nach 13 Tagen erst dort sauber gemacht...Zimmer 302. Reception oder das Angestellten Personal konnte keine o. sehr schlecht Englisch sprechen, wenn man was fragen wollte...Man hat auf Thailändisch eine Antwort bekommen..nur eine Angestellte konnte Englisch, die war aber nicht immer da.... Frühstück fanden wir gut..nicht viel Auswahl, aber es reichte aus gut zu frühstücken..... Der Pool war sehr gut zu Erfrischfend nach einer Tour o. für zwischen durch bei 32 C° !!!! Im Großen und Ganzen würde ich nie wieder im Whale Resort Urlaub machen....Und es ist nicht empfehlenswert !!!!
• Gary (6/5): Whale Resort Karon Beach Experiance - What to say about the hotel..... There are many areas where the overall standard of the hotel could be improved with a little additional effort from the hotel staff. All of the staff that we came into contact with gave the impression that they were only willing to do the minimum required at any time and really didn't care. The food put out for the buffet breakfast was poor and the staff appeared to be very lax when putting out new food or cooking with many of the food trays empty. Hygiene in the food area didn't appear to be a major concern as I observed one of the staff tipping the remains of the breakfast fruit juice over the handrail onto the ground below where there was a small garden / fish pond. The area didn't appear to have been deep cleaned for some time and parts of the hotel appeared tired. The hotel has the potential to be very good with more effort from the management and staff.
• Alec (10/5): Don't trust that bad reviews. - We were a little apprehensive coming here after reading some bad reviews but don't take them to heart. Friendly staff, clean rooms, clean pool and 2 min walk to the beach. Don't be put off by the bars leading up to the hotel, they are a good mix and don't bring in the party crowd.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Dålig frukost och lunch
• jean michel (6/5): - Dommage que personne ne parle le français dans cet hôtel complètement isolés ni le personnel ni dans l environnement !!grandes difficultés !sa gâche le plaisir des vacances quand on parle pas anglais
• Odd Arne (4/5): Need to be maintaned and reneweed!! - This hotel neads to be maintaned. Very bad shower and toilet. Glad I only stayed one nigh!!
• canuck (8/5): Close to Karon beach - If you can get a room around the pool word is quieter then it's a nice place don't get a room facing out to the main road. The swimming pool area is excellent and they have pool service for good prices
• shaun + Liz (10/5): Lovely hotel - This is a lovely hotel, there's nothing to not like about it. The room was a good size very clean we had a pool access room. The pool is a good size and well kept, there was always sun beds available. The staff were friendly and pleasant always spoke as you passed. All in all we had a lovely time in a lovely hotel in a fantastic location. I would recommend this hotel.
• Judy (8/5): Good place to stay for some R&R - Good place to stay. Rooms are clean and it's near everything. The front desk employees do not speak English, but with gestures and simple phrases they go out of their way to help customers. They are polite and try very hard to make you happy. When you check out, they send housekeeping to your room to make sure everything is in tact! Breakfast was OK, we did try to eat lunch once there, and it was awful...we had to since we were waiting for an afternoon tour. Stay away from their restaurant for anything other than breakfast! The night life is more family oriented on Karon Beach. Not much for singles and young couples, other than dinner and some live music at a pub. Overall, good place to stay if you do not want the noise and party life of Patong Beach!
• Dominic (10/5): - Great hotel, close to beach and restaurants. Staff were extremely polite, efficient and helpful. It was a pleasure staying here
• Dean (8/5): A good choice - Overall I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. It's true that there is room for improvement but there was nothing to complain about and most importantly, even the staff that didn't speak English well were willing to their best to understand and try to help, provided you presented a reasonable attitude towards them. I also liked the fact that the breakfast buffet choices changed daily, which kept things interesting. The pool area has a nice tropical paradise feel to it.
• a young couple (8/5): Good Hotel close to Karon Beach - The hotel is very clean, room was big and the staff was very friendly, specially at the front desk. The hotel needs a little bit of restoration, but overall it is in pretty good shape.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Karon break - Short 2 day stop over at Karon beach. Very nice hotel, excellent location, easy for everything. Recommended
• Rachel (6/5): Good location, comfortable and clean - We arrived at approx 3pm and the room was not ready. Had to wait about 20 mins to access. The room was a little dated and did live up to the expectation given from the photos. Overall the room was comfortable and clean, and the hotel very well located for the beach and local amenities, and was quiet at night. Staff were friendly, while I didn't have any real requirements, so I can't comment on helpfulness etc. Karon Beach was in my opinion a generic tourist resort, and didn't reflect the true beauty that other parts of Thailand have to offer.
• Jessica (6/5): WIFI IS HORRIBLE - Not gonna lie whenever I stay in a hotel I really depend on the reviews I read on hotels.ca and tripadvisor. I know some people like to over exaggerate about some things like the tv didn't have enough channels so I usually just brush those off. Overall though, this was a good hotel because it's literally a two minute walk from the beach and the hotel will give you towels and mats for the beach. Also it's in the middle of the hustle and the bustle so you'll never be bored in the area. Hint: The farther left you walk from hotel the more you'll find cheaper prices of the same food and the more you'll find more locals which mean more local cuisine. The rooms are a bit older and can use a bit of upgrading but the resort itself is really beautiful. The rooms are large and the free breakfast buffet has a wonderful plethora of food, I'm not really sure why the other reviews are complaining. When I say the rooms are older I mean the toilets are very weak and can only be flushed every ten minutes. The air con sounds like a kettle is boiling. Sometimes the tap ran brown water but they fixed it. And the worst was the wifi, every day that I was there I had to go down to reception and tell them to restart the router and when that didn't work I used my own WIFI HOTSPOT. Also I know it says on the hotel site they only take cash deposit which I thought was really odd because most if not all take visa. So make sure to have 500 baht on hand.
• Johan (6/5): good location - We stayed here for 3night. Not bad
• ails (4/5): Not worth it - We only stayed one day to catch a flight to another city. Room was large and clean but bathroom was a bit run down. Hotel is ok but too far from everything, u r better off picking a hotel closer to patong. Staff refused to call us a cab or arrange for one for the airport (we requested as soon as we checked in). my husband had to walk a km to the Main Street looking for a taxi at 5am.
• Daryl (10/5): Great hotel close to everything - The staff were fantastic. Made our stay very relaxing.
• Michael (8/5): Hotel was in the area I like close to beach - The staff were very friendly, it is in the area of Karon I like close to everything, I had a pool access room balcony straight to pool
• Barbara (8/5): great stay - We had a pleasant stay and the staff were very friendly. Only the zircon was noisy.
• cmxg (8/5): Nice quiet hotel - A quiet hotel only 2minutes from bars,restaurants and karon beach.pool is good with plenty of sunbeds, pool bar is very good on prices for drinks and food. Rooms are a nice size with good air conditioning and a pool view
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We had a great stay, but there was no sauna (some pictures on Hotel.com) and there were no view over the pool (as it says on Hotel.com) from 2 out of 4 rooms, as promished. Nice hotel overall
• Timothy (8/5): Nice but noisy - Good size room, nice pool and good location close to everything. This unfortunately also means that it is a fairly noisy environment in the evenings when you hear the live music from a number of bars and restaurants.
• charles (4/5): - Room was not in great condition. Missing tiles in bathroom. Not to clean. Breakfast was poor
• ellis (6/5): good location - happy with most things excellent value booking in was difficult but eventually was sorted out. had ahassle with security but eventully got that fixed.would stay there in future.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great rainy season value - I got a great low rate during the rainy season, this place is a great deal.
• emma (6/5): - Our first room the air conditioner was broken, staff quickly and happily moved us to another room. The pool was empty being repaired which was bad luck. Breakfast was good. Hotel was quite old and tired but staff were friendly.
