Pros:

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The atmosphere throughout the hotel felt relaxing and luxurious.

The location was also perfect — close to everything while still feeling peaceful and private. I especially loved the attention to detail, from the cleanliness to the excellent service. The food and facilities exceeded my expectations as well.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a memorable stay.

Excellent stay
Pros:

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Holiday Inn. From the moment I arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully managed. What truly made this experience stand out was the hotel manager incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making my stay comfortable. Every request, no matter how small, was handled with care and sincerity, which made a huge difference.

As a female traveler visiting a new country solo for the first time, feeling safe and at ease was very important to me and this hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was consistently polite and supportive, and the overall environment felt secure, respectful, and comforting. It honestly felt less like a hotel and more like a place where I was being looked after.

I was so comfortable that I even extended my stay. Highly recommend this place to anyone, especially solo travelers, looking for not just great service but a genuinely caring and safe experience.

Holiday inn Karon
Pros:

Lovely hotel, free upgrade to swim up rooms which the kids loved. Fantastic pool and food.

BEST!!
Pros:

I had such a lovely stay at Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Karon Beach. From the moment I arrived, the hotel manager and the entire staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. It didn’t feel like a typical hotel experience, it felt warm and personal. Every small request I had was genuinely taken care of, and that really stood out to me. The team was always attentive, smiling, and ready to help, which made the whole stay feel effortless. As a solo female traveler, feeling safe matters a lot, and I can honestly say I felt completely comfortable here. That sense of safety, along with how respectfully and thoughtfully I was treated, made a big difference. They were also very accommodating of my preferences, which I truly appreciated. It’s rare to find a place that pays attention in such a sincere way. I actually ended up extending my stay because I felt so at home here. A big thank you to the manager and the entire team for making this such a memorable experience. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a stay that feels both comfortable and genuinely caring.

Great restaurant, friendly staff and small pool next to the room.
Pros:

Since the hotel was not fully occupied by the time of our arrival, we got promoted to a better room with small pool at the terrace. Especially my 9 years old daughter enjoyed that. She also very much liked the slide at lids swimming pool and the surf at the mail pool.

Cons:

Necessity to cross the road when going towards beach. At least some crossing for pedestrian would help and some slow-down bumpers to slow cars in that area.

Отличный отель, замечательное проживание, с удовольствием вернёмся сюда снова
Pros:

Отель предоставил нам номер намного более высокого класса, чем мы бронировали, и это было чрезвычайно приятно.
В номере всё было убрано, было много воды и бесплатного чая/кофе, а также шикарно убранная кровать с надписью "welcome", очень приятно.
Мы попросили персонал убрать наш личный бассейн и это было сделано крайне быстро, в течение 2 часов.
Завтрак был шикарным, с большим ассортиментом блюд и классным видом.

Cons:

Немного непонятная навигация в отеле, написано, что там есть 3 бассейна, но путём долгих поисков были найдены только 2)))
Повышение класса номера не было озвучено персоналом на ресепшн и мы были удивлены.

Buon potenziale, bella struttura, personale e servizi migliorabili
Pros:

Le piscine e la camera con la piscina privata. La spiaggia davanti all’hotel.

Cons:

La piscina privata non era quasi mai pulita e dovevano pulirla ogni giorno, per attivarla bisognava chiamare la reception. Inoltre il personale parlava male inglese e non sempre era facile far capire le proprie esigenze. Poca offerta di cibo per un pranzo al volo in hotel. Per arrivare alla spiaggia seppur molto bella bisogna attraversare una super strada abbastanza pericolosa.
