RAMADA RESORT KARON BEACH PHUKET

"I stayed there with my wife and daughter for 5 days. Hotel is good , but transportation is difficult same as all the hotels which are not in Patong Beach. In fact , it is just 5-10 minutes by taxi or tuk-tuk but as they are managed by "Mafia-like" people, it becomes problem. I should thank to the Management of the hotel who arranged me the hotel car when I had a problem with taxi-drivers. As a conclusion, you can enjoy your stay in this hotel , but I advise you to rent a car for transportation which is cheaper and more flexible compared to public transportation." - Mustafa Kose

"Excellent hotel. Only short walk to shops and restaurants. Pricing in resort was excellent for minibar and food. Facilities were great for all ages (even found myself in the kids pool as it had a water slide)" - Benjamin Chirgwin

"what a treat it was to stay at this property. i have worked in hotels for the past 10 years and can honestly say that the Ramada Karon Beach is the best family hotel that i have seen. it is in a perfect location, just 4 minutes walk away from the beach and about 6 to the shopping area and the majority of restaurants. the property itself just changed hands and has new everything. babysitting, two full size pools (one that is themed for kids) a really tasty full buffet breakfast included, basketball and pinpong play area, children play area, newly renovated and extremely clean rooms. the list goes on. i went with my girlfriend and will certainly return with or without children. another great part is that it is away from the extremly busy patong beach but still has everything that u need and more. two huge thumbs up. feel free to ask me q's schadey@hotmail.com" - Gordon Schade

"this hotel is excellent and in particular both pools are top class. i would definetely go back again. the beach is about 10 mins walk away and is about 3 miles long with clear water and good sand.on the down side it is a little bit far from karon which is not much of a place anyway. if you want to get good bars and restaurants get a tuk tuk to pathong 10 mins down the road. also the food in the restaurant joe kools is very expensive by thai standards which is a pity because it is very good. a few good restaurants nearby though. the coffee shop on site is better value. breakfast buffet is excellent." - Mark Payne
