Lai Kuen Holmstrom 2008-06-20 until 2008-06-26	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach I was very disappointed with the hotel. it was very run down. The room was an ok size but the bathroom was very, very small. Only had a curtain to separate the shower cubicle from the toilet so when you showed, the whole floor (which isn t that big) got wet! Just outside our room was this foul smell which entered the room which wasn t nice to smell first thing in the morning. The breakfast was awful too. The kidz club which is right by the kid s pool on 2nd floor was OK... but charged an arm and leg to babysit for even 4 hours and it wasn t aircon either. I traveled with 3 kids and they loved the swimming pool and the slide and our room was just by the pool so it was very convenient nipping in and out of the room. They also charge you for EVERYTHING, at one stage, wanted to charge me for complimentary water! A short ride away to Karon Centre they also charged and should have been complimentary. Despite the above, we made our stay enjoyable but will not be returning to the Ramada again. I wouldn t recommend this hotel to anyone. The pictures you see online are not the same in real life either! Reception staff though was friendly.	efficient
karnravee kittayanukul 2008-06-11 until 2008-06-14	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach It was a good memory. My kids love the castle room. They splended a lot of time at this room. The beach had to take a little bit walk. It was very fun to play with the wave at the beach and slider at the swimming pool. Breakfast was nice. All the staff were helpful and nice.	Travel agency gave me a special promotion. I paid 2 nights and stayed 3 nights. It better than other agency.
lauren benvenuto 2007-12-03 until 2007-12-07	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach good service clean rooms very helpful and friendly staff, little bit far from town and patong	very good
Oyvind Fjeld 2007-10-14 until 2007-10-21	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach We stayed here with two small kids. We loved it. Facilities are good and the staff is trying hard to make it a good stay. There is a kids club with a lot of activities and toys, fully supervised. There are two large swimming pools. One is for relaxing and one for the kids. 5 minutes walking to the beach and Karon centre. A very good restaurant (American style) and entertainment every night. The prices seem high but the portions are large. This is a good 4 star hotel in European standard. Only thing to note is that the local taxi company that waits outside the hotel overcharges you. If you rent another taxi they try to scare you out of the car. Donâ€™t use them! If you have small kids this is the place for you in Karon.	Excellent service.
Karen Murphy 2007-08-14 until 2007-08-28	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach The hotel has excellent facilities, but is looking a bit tired. The reception/public areas are spotless and modern, however, the rooms are not to the same standard. We stayed in a castle themed room, for the kids, and the size was fantastic, with the upstairs for the kids, and downstairs for the grownups. There is a PS2 for the kids, but in the 2 weeks we stayed there, only 1 game worked. All the DVD s we got were hopelessly scratched, and refused to load (we had/swapped at reception etc around 10 in all). The advertised TV is very limited for English speaking guests, as it is limited to 5 or 6 channels, and these are not for kids in any way. The 2 pools are very good, and the hotel facilities in general are also good. The location is at the very end of Karon Beach, there are restaurants within walking distance and the market is not too far. Its 4km to the other end of Karon Beach/Kata beach where there is a larger selection of restaurants/bars etc. Its a long walk with children, and a Tuk Tuk there is around 200 baht each way. It soon adds up. We hired a car for a week, and at 1200 Baht per day, is well worth it. It is easy to drive to the mainland for the boats out to Pang Nga Bay. The hotel staff are very helpful and courteous, and go out of their way to help. I would recommend this hotel, but be aware of the location	Faultless booking service, and an excellent price
Trevor Mckew 2007-07-27 until 2007-08-03	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach A great place to stay especially with children. Clean, tidy, good service and the staff were fantastic with our daughter. Should of stayed the extra week at this resort instead of patong. Will definately stay here again.	Great service, easy to navigate and the prices were better than if we booked there.
dcrv 2007-07-19 until 2007-07-26	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach Perfect hotel for families with younger children. The kidsclub was great, had lots of activities each day. 1/2 day program with 1 meal was 450B and the full day was 750B. Kids enjoyed staying at their Adventure (Underwater) room. Breakfast was plentiful, staff were helpful and friendly. The only complaint I have is that the information booklet in the rooms should be more comprehensive, this can avoid having to call staff for explaination for minor things. Easy 5 min walk to foreshore and to Karon Circle. I woud prefer to stay close to Kata Beach next time because the beach were better for swimming esp for children and during this time of the year.	No problems, fast response to queries.
CHANDRA KUMAR RAJGARHIA 2007-04-15 until 2007-04-19	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach Hotel is nice and clean BUT away from Sea beach. Also away from market. Those who do not want crowded place shall enjoy.	Very good booking service of sawadee.com
Alison Bennett 2007-04-02 until 2007-04-07	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach Wonderful hotel, excellent facilities and friendly staff. If you are looking for a child friendly hotel then this is it. A wonderful kids club, fully supervised providing a variety of activities, from cooking to swimming to batik painting for a nominal fee which includes a meal. Lovely swimming pools, one for relaxing the other with water slide, fountains and dinosaurs, at 1.2meters it is a bit deep but there is a lifeguard and life jackets are available. All hotel staff where friendly and provided excellent service and will recommend excursions and book any you require. My children are 2, 4 and 6 and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The location is within walking distance of the beach, about five minutes walk and about the same to the busier part of Karon, 5 to 10 minutes walk or 50 to 100 baht in a tuk tuk. This hotel was beyond our expectations and i would rate this hotel at least a 4 star in eurpoean and american standards.	excellent service, kept me informed of different options.
Lisa 2007-03-31 until 2007-04-07	Ramada Karon Beach Resort, Phuket, Karon Beach Great for kids. We booked for two families - 2 Deluxe suites with adjoining theme rooms for the kids. Our Children loved their room which was an Underwater themed suite - I found the noise from the fish tanks irritating and would advise booking the Space suites as it is quiet and the lights are brilliant at night. The kids club is well run and with good activities, however there are no gates to seperate it from the pool area so my son wandered out at his leisure on the day he was booked in. It is free for kids if there is an adult to supervise them. There is unlimited popcorn, slurpies and snow freeze for the kids all day which impressed our lot! Was a bit disappointed the beach was such a trek but the kids had a wonderful holiday anyway, as did we laying by the pool drinking Margaritas. Staff were excellent. Joe Cools was good and breakfast selection plentiful.	Efficient.
