"Convenient for food. Turn right walk less than 10 min there are food and fruits stall available. On the left there is a Mini market and fruits stall. Walk further down few min you can reach Movenpick. Just turn right walk all the way you reach temple market. The market is only available on every Tuesday and Friday. Turn left walk further you will reach Hilton, walk further down you reach another small shopping area. We booked a deluxe ocean view but was surprisingly given a room which is pool access. The room was big and clean with bathtub. I enjoy going to swimming from my room, it is very nice relax at the balcony with a swimming in front of me and it is quite privacy. The breakfast was very good. I enjoy having breakfast in front of the hotel while watching the beach, people and car passing by. Beach in front of the hotel is very beautiful and not crowded.There is a bus stop in front of the hotel. It is a public bus going to Phuket town. I also saw some tuk-tuk writting to kata beach-karon beach. For transportation going to Patong I pay 300bath per trip which is a minibus. This minibus happen to send some visitor to karon beach and I am lucky to find him. The only transportation from Karon to Patong is by tuk-tuk and the rate is 350 bath to 400 bath.Airport transfer to karon beach by minibus is 200 bath per pax. You find a weighing maching at the lobby for guest to check the luggage weight. Wifi was very good in the room. "

"i read a review to get a room, not a bungalow - definitely worth it - we got a room on the top floor - the room was very nice, and had a balcony, with a view of the ocean. sunsets are the best in phuket, so having this feature was well worth the money. the double level pool was nice - and when we were there, not many people used it. we could easily walk to the beach and to restaurants, as this hotel is right on the border between karon and kata. when i was in phuket before, i stayed at katathani and i didn't like the beach as much at kata. and patong is dirtier and more crowded. karon is a nice middle ground. but if you have a week in phuket, i recommend you stay in two places, or at least take the time to travel to other beaches. i was surprised at the cost of the tuk tuks, but as gas prices are high, a 15 minute tuk tuk ride could cost you $10. this can add up if you are trying to get to different places, so we opted to just change hotels mid-week."

"We were happy that the hotel could accommodate us with the deluxe room due to overbooking with the superior room that we initially booked for. The hotel is situated about 5-10mins walk away from the main town in Karon Beach which is a fair amount of time and it is nice that it's situated on a hill so the view of the Karon Beach if you have rooms with ocean view is good. The only down-fall is walking up the steep slope to the hotel lobby, but I would say it's a good few seconds exercise from all the eating in town. The hotel has a unique elevator as a mode of travel from the lobby to the resorts. It's quite an interesting experience riding on that elevator. We really enjoyed our stay at Karon Phunaka Resort because it nicely situated on the hill away from the crowd and noise. It was relaxing and rejuvenating especially sitting in the jacuzzi at night on the balcony. Would consider staying again if I were to head to Karon Beach in future! (:"

"This is a good hotel in Karon, for families. You will find several large swimming pools, a great gym that to work off the pad thai, and nice large rooms with balconies. Because you are in Karon, expect that this will be a quieter part of Phuket. You will experience beautiful sunsets and restful sleeps. The breakfast buffet was good. I cannot comment on other meals served. There are a few bars around the corner that you could go and spend time in which are pleasant. You will not hear any of the music inside the hotel. I would say that the hotel has seen its best days past, however, as the decor seems a little dated."

"Nice hotel in Karon beach. Big room, large and beautiful pools, great variety of breakfast. The room is a bit old, bad smell in the room and need to turn on air-con to very low temperature to make the smell gone. The room should be renovate."

"I would stay at the Secret Cliff every time I go back to Phucket, it was the best hotel I've stayed at and I cannot praise the place or the staff enough. Although it is more expensive than some of the other hotels in Karon I would say its well worth the money. The offer free transfers to the beaches and will help with any tour options or scooter hire. And they have a great little restaurant called coco pizza which I loved. The infinity pool was great for sunset cocktails."

"i was here for just two days. when i reached, i was brought to the poolside suite when i have asked for the seaview room. please make sure you know what you have booked for, because they might just tell you that the room you booked is not available and expect you to take what they have offered. be firm and insist on your room, because thats what i did and i still got my room. aside, location was really good- on your right from the hotel is the main street and left is karon plaza and more mini shopping lanes. all the way towards the main street end is karon night market ; open on sat when i was there. beachfront room is perfect. quiet with just 1 room aside from mine located in another building. just that they really need to review the 1 hour free wifi. that doesnt make sense when you cant even access wifi at all in your room lol. staff is amazing. the front desk guy, jerome is a really nice and friendly guy. heard hes on internship from manila so hey if youre from the management of this hotel,please commend him on his job! hes really nice to guests. will come back for the beachfront rooms again! :) "

"We recently stayed at the Novotel for eight nights and we couldn't fault it in anyway. The staff always went above and beyond and made us feel at home. The staff in the kidzone are absolutely fantastic, we have a one year old son and they would even come running out of the kidzone whenever they saw him just to say hello. We hired one of them to babysit for the night and we were thrilled to have someone we could trust looking after our soon and whom he enjoyed staying with! He didn't even cry when we left the room! Karon beach is a lovely place to stay, less crowded than Patong and only a short walk from the hotel. Some people have said that the hotel is on a busy road.. honestly it's not ! They even have a security guard there to help you cross the road. Overall the Novotel is a fabulous place to stay whether you have kids or not, it's gorgeous. There's even a swim up bar and for a hotel the food and drink prices are very reasonable. Thank you Novotel for a fantastic holiday ! "

"We had a great week in the sun on Karon beach. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk away (no hotels are on the beach). The staff were excellent and very helpful. The breakfast was amazing. There were no problems with the internet. The only issue was on checkin they got mixed up and tried to give us a smaller room. I had my agora booking and after some insisting they went online and realised the mistake. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have been downgraded. After checkin the desk clerk escorted us to the room, which was refreshing. The hotel was fully occupied during our stay with mostly Russians, which wasn't a bad thing. In fact, most of the visitors at Karon were Russian. Every morning after breakfast we'd go to the beach and rent a couple on beach chairs and umbrellas. You gotta get there early (by 9am) or you may not get a chair. My better half isn't a good swimmer. Karon was perfect for her as the water gets deep slowly and wasn't rough. Every night we'd eat at 1 of the many restaurants. Great seafood of all kinds. Sushi too. We rode elephants one afternoon at a nearby place. It was the most expensive part of the holiday - about $50 each. It was the middle of February, so was a very busy place. If you want a real quiet holiday this probably isn't the destination for you. I was last in Phuket in 2000. The island of Phuket has changed a lot since then. It's becoming overcrowded and overdeveloped. That said, it was a great time."

More about Karon

South of lively Patong Beach, Karon Beach is a much quieter town with shops, restaurants and bars that cater specifically to tourists. There is an abundance of good local restaurants, and accommodation ranges from small guesthouses to family resorts. Hotels line the road behind the shoreline, but the long, broad beach itself is free of development. Clothing can be purchased from markets in the main part of town or along the beach front, and there are a number of supermarkets, convenience stores and pharmacies in the area.

Snorkeling is best at Karon’s southern end, which has a coral reef stretching toward Kata and a small offshore island, Boo Island. From November to April, Karon offers perfect conditions, but from May to October swimming can be dangerous because of strong undertows, and visitors are advised to always observe the warning flags.

Restaurants, bars, and tour companies are at the north end, near the traffic circle, and at the south end, on the little road connecting the back road with the beach road. A surprising number of restaurants cater to Scandinavian tastes. Nightlife is much more subdued than in neighboring Karon.

Besides taxis, there is a regular daytime bus service to and from Phuket Town. Probably the cheapest and most convenient way to get around is to rent a motorcycle from one of the many shops around the island.
