Be careful when booking this hotel via expedia. They do not guarantee the type of bed you will have in your room. We are a couple and we had to sleep in twin beds, when we requested a double bed. We found a small cockroach in our bathroom when we arrived, really surprising for this type of resort. We did not let ourselves to by turned off by this two […] small details and we enjoyed a lot our stay. Read more

Traveled to Phuket with a group of friends some singles and couples and we all shared a great time at the Movenpick Resort, from the first moments walking in to the Lobby reception we new that we had chosen the right spot. Beautiful grounds mixed with the perfect beach location with access to food, shopping and water sports made this resort unbeatable […] in my opinion. We upgraded to one of the Residence Suites, which turned out to be the best travel move I've ever made, the view was perfect. Did a good bit of touring while i was in Phuket and didn't see many places that could compete! Read more

The staff were very friendly, pleasant and helpful. No problems what so ever with check-in and check-out, we even asked for a late check-out and that was accomodated. The facilities in this resort were great, there are lovely pool areas, variety of resturants, indoor kids' play areas (for the different age groups). The hotel is across the street from […] the beach, very easy access. There are a number of convenient stores around the hotel to get snacks, groceries, etc...We highly recommend this hotel especially their 1 bedroom garden suite which has its own porch with a lovely seating area and sun beds. The gardens and land scape are beautiful. Read more

Well environment with swimming pool, lobby. various buffet breakfast. Just beside the Karon beach and easy to find 7&11, restaurant and bar. It is not very far away from here to Patong.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is located very close to Karon Beach and is walking distance to the town of Karon. Its well maintained and the staff were very helpful.

For our relaxing holiday vacation, we ended up booking a room at the Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket. Not at all disappointed with our choice. Hotel facilities were excellent, such as the three swimming pools, our spacious Plunge Pool Villa and the good variety of food at the three in-house restaurants. However, the in-room entertainment could […] have been much better and at a 5-star resort, free. Staff very friendly as always, but a late check out only available until 2pm for free. The business center was free for use within the opening hours, even after checkout. Not satisfied with the Spa - Call rates for within Thailand were very expensive, as we were charged over 70 baht for a 2 min call to a hotel in Bangkok. All in all a recommendable hotel. Read more

Great location about 15 cab ride to Patong Beach. Beach is across the road but the pools are fantastic.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First of all the Hotel's location was good considering that i was travelling with a family with small kids. Karon Beach is not the liveliest of all beaches but enough for my liking. The hotel was nice but not spectacular; the lobby was no where close to attractive ( I have seen better lobbies in cheaper hotels). The villas on the other hand are well […] built within beautiful gardens with a great variety of tropical plants and this is what I like the most about this Resort (feels like living in a jungle). The food was the worst I ate in my entire tour of Thailand; certainly not what I expected. Read more

Great resort that has everything you need. The breakfast buffet is the best I've ever seen, ever!

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a real pleasure to find a Swiss owned hotel in the beauty of Thailand. The hotel is clean, modern and the location is great. Right next to beautiful Karon beach. The included breakfast was the best we had on our trip. The service was impressive and the hotel had just about everything you need. There are even a few local restaurants at Thai prices […] just outside the main entrance. I really enjoyed our stay there. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is the second time I have stayed here. The breakfast buffet is very very good. The grounds are also very nice. The rooms are fine but the villas are much nicer. The service is OK but the internet is an issue. There was no internet other than using a computer in the library.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were very happy with this good hotel, with only one-minute-access to the nice Karon beach. The hotel had all facilities in top shape and service was friendly as well. The recidence suites were absolutely nice and comfortable for our family with 3 kids - with a beautiful view to the sea and sunset.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was the best hotel I have been to in Thailand. And for the price it was also a good value. It is situated right across from Karon Beach. It had a great pool, beautiful gardens and the room was amazing. On top of this, the service and cleanliness was also top notch. I noticed that the restaurants were pricey. So if you want a better value meal, […] it is also near to some basic restaurants and hawker stalls. Down the street, it also has a local night market behind the hotel. And heading South on the Beach Road is a great local market selling souvenir items. Can't wait to go back! Read more

We took a family trip about 6 days. Food, staff, location are all over our expectation. the resort is very relaxing. We love everything about this hotel and definitely choose it again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I would still highly recommend Movenpick Karon Beach and would go back in an instant and these are really nit picky things but I thought I would share them. Best restaurant was Talay - walk out of the resort on the beach side and turn right - little grass hut - amazing cocktails, food and service. Ging restaurant (turn left and then left down the little […] road past the markets) was also wonderful and the girls there absolutely spoilt my kids, painting fingernails, letting them sit on the motorbikes out the front etc - they were brilliant.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I extremely enjoyed staying in Movenpick Karon Beach. The residences complex is the best choice inside the Movenpick. The view from the balcony is breathtaking and relaxing. Kids enjoyed the pool and the beach, which is across the street from the Residence. The staff was sooo friendly and always trying to help with a beautiful smile.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We rated our two nights in Movenpick as best hotel on a 28 day tour around Asia. Best breakfast buffet and beautiful grounds. Lovely ambience in the foyer as well.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The resort is excellent for families with young children, the hotel has really thought out for families. There are playareas for the children with attentive staff to look after them. As for adults, there's a 24hr games area to play ping pong / billiard. I fell sick on my holiday and there was a nurse on site ! She called a doctor out to my room and […] next day, the hotel sent me lovely flowers with a get well note, very sweet of them. Room service was fantastic. There are 3 areas with computers for free with wifi. The tuktuk ride to Patong Beach for nightlife costs 300Bht regardless how many people get in it, it's about 10-15minutes ride so it can be costly if you want to keep going back and forth. The beaches in Phuket are not private, but the beach opposite the hotel is extremely clean. Read more

The room was great and everything was up to my expectations, hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. just for the tours in the Island the hotel is very expensive, you can get them much cheaper from agents around the hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The food was excellent and the facilities are good. I would recommend to stay in Patong area for someone who wants action and nightlife.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is close to anything you want to do in Phuket, i.e. night life, shopping, going to see places, etc. etc.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Movenpick is one of only two beachside hotels in Karon worth staying at, with the other being the much more expensive Hilton. The facilities are great with many restaurants to chose from which we found to be much better than the nearby local food which was of poor quality for a mostly Russian clientele. The gardens are fabulous and offer guests a retreat […] from the heat and the overwhelming crowds and noise of Phuket. Access to the other more crowded beaches nearby like Patang are cheap and taxis are everywhere. Overall a very nice, clean, safe and affordable hotel. Read more

This resort is close to the action of Phuket island without the irritation of rowdy tourists and the hustle bustle of a popular destination. Totally loved it and planning our next stay. Service from hotel staff was prompt and always courteous. Even the fitness centre was well equipped and serviced well.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Food and beverages excellent. Pools and facilities excellent. Rooms clean and functional but must be getting close to refurb as they are dated.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were in awe when we arrived at this beautiful hotel. Not to mention in the heart of Karon Beach. Sea & shops at our doorstep. We loved this place, food & frinedly staff.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The villa with plunge pool out from our own verandah was sensational and very private. Large bedroom and bathroom with the deepest, longest marble bath ever seen. Location of Movenpick very good for shopping (next door has a huge gallery of stalls) and better than Karon beach. Grounds beautifully maintained and villa guests have exclusive access to […] one of three pools. Plenty of restaurants although surprisingly not well patronised. We were happy with the selection and quality of the food but no doubt it is cheaper to eat outside the complex. Beach opposite the Movenpick. Couldn't fault our stay. Read more

Great resort. Good location. Stayed in garden villa after checking into standard room well worth the extra cost. Totally different experience being in the gardens as to staying in the standard room which was small and noisy.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

What a fantastic hotel! From the minute we arrived to the minute we left we experinced exceptional service. They even delivered a cake to the room on my husband's birthday with no prompting from me! The sand bar was a fantastic place to relax - especially during happy hour!

Genuine Expedia guest review

We had an initial incident with check-in where we were left to wait for 2 hours. The reception staff did however offer us a free upgrade in order to rectify the inconvenience. The hotel grounds and gardens are large and well kept. There are 3 swimming pools and a dive center attached to the one closest to the beach entrance. The main pool closest to […] reception has a swim up bar with kids area and slide, kiddies looked like they were having a ball, however not really for couples looking for a bit of a quieter setting which is a shame as it would have been nice to have made use of the pool bar. The 3rd pool offered a more relaxing experience and still came with food and drink service. The room was great, however we found it to be a little "tired". Cracks in the walls and peeling paint. The bath never really enticed us as the room had a bit of this old/used feeling and appearance. We had a plunge pool out front and outdoor shower which was great to cool off under. The breakfast offered a good range of variety and a pleasant setting next to the main pool. As the hotel is rather large with many guests, the pacifica (breakfast restaurant) was busy and produced food in bulk. The quality of food was average as a result. Other restaurants within the hotel were expensive and we chose to step outside the grounds of the hotel for all other meals. The price of the hotel's spa treatments were also exorbitant but again there are plenty of massage parlours just 100m outside the hotel. Read more

Movenpick has a certain 'older' style about it's hotel and bungalows. That being said it has been very well maintained. The main hotel tower where we stayed in a Deluxe Ocean View room had a view of the sea, albeit from 300-400m back with the sand being obstructed by trees. The room was very large and always perfectly clean. The buffet breakfast was […] very good with a good variety of different cuisine including many 'made while you wait' options. If I were to stay in the Karon Beach area again I would probably stay here. Read more

This was not my first visit to Phuket but that was my first stay at the Mövenpick resort. The resort is huge with a lot of facilities including 4 swimimng pools and offering many types of rooms type. Since we are a family of 4 we choosed the 2 bedroom residence. Very nice, clean and comfortable room, infact we felt at home. The hotel staff with no exception, […] from the moment we checked in were very welcoming, and helpful. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Phuket. Read more

We were thrilled to be upgraded to a garden villa at check in. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is extremely well maintained and the grounds are green and gorgeous. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quieter Phuket experience, but still wanting to be close to local attractions.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Beautiful setting on Karon Beach and lived our penthouse room with rooftop plunge pool. Unfortunately not enough staff or poolside chairs to fully cater for the number of guests.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Overall the hotel was nice. The rooms are starting to get a bit tired (we were in an Ocean view room), I think it's the use of the dark wood, however, they were well maintained, clean and comfortable. The main lobby and pool area and grounds are lovely. The resort is huge and it was nice to have a few pools to choose from. The staff were friendly, however […] the front desk staff and concierge should have a little more local knowledge about activities in Karon Beach such as the days the Temple markets run and recommendations for restuarants, tailors etc. The resort was good for young kids, they loved the slide in the main pool! Kids club was a bit disappointing as the kids were bored in there. It's quite small and limited with activities although the staff seem really lovely. Read more

Brilliant in all measures and have reccomended to 3 people already and advised 1 friend to cancel reservation at La Meridian Phuket which they have done and booked in for 2 weeks at Movenpick.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were staying at the hotel in the tsunami and the hotel had no emergency evacuation plan, no sirens which is unacceptable. The warning system was basically staff telling people. We stayed in a basic room, it was out dated, dark, small and very noisy. Speaking to other people who stayed in the villas, I would recommend paying the extra for a better […] room. The grounds were really beautiful and the staff were excellent and did everything they could in the tsunami to assist us. The day spa was also very good. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The stay was outstanding! This was our 2nd time staying at the Karon Movenpick. We are already planning a 3rd visit in December. The residence room was defiantly worth the price and we will utilize again. The only issue we had was that the A/C went out in the master bedroom and the level of maid service could be a tad bit better - it seemed as if the […] floors, table top and counters were always cleaned in a hurry. Other than that, this is a great hotel for families with small children. Read more

Great place. Will return.

we had an overall good stay,hotel is conveniently located on Karon beach, very near to the beach and closeby to Kata and Patong. Restaurants are nice , pools are nice. The downsides were breakfast at the hotel,service was not so good, was very crowded and staff was either not very friendly or helpful. The kids zone is not too great too. Spa is just […] ok not worth the price, cheaper options outside the hotel. Read more

Had a wonderful time at the Movenpick, Karon Beach. Beautiful hotel and grounds and plenty of things to keep 4 kids amused. Only weakness would be the Kids Club - the furnishings appeared a little tired and dated - only used it once for a short period. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is definitely the best hotel in the Karon Beach area of Phuket. It looks great - fresh and clean and traditional Thai style, and it kept very tidy. We loved every minute of our stay here. Breakfast - something for just about every nationality in the world it seemed! We especially loved the freshly squeezed juicves every morning,and location […] of the restaurant around the main pool area. Happy hour - 6-7pm every day at the swim-up pool bar. It was great! 3 swimming pools - the resort is great for families, couples and small groups of friends, so there was something for everyone Location - fantastic location just across the road from the beach, and short walk to other shops, restaurants, bars too. PattongBeach is about 20 mins away in a tuk-tuk. For the better restaurants in Karon, come out of the beach exit of the hotel and turn left or right, The beach area has better quality restaurants and is quieter/better atmosphere too. The main street of Karon was a bit crazy with traffic and tacky tourist shops for our liking. Read more

Overall a good experience except the high speed internet wifi access which I paid for was very patchy and slow at the best of times - a rip off so not worth having. plunge pool was a little too cold to my liking.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Villa rooms are a good size. (we had 2 adults and 2 small children in ours and it was OK). The grounds are quite lovely and comfortable. Our kids loved the pool and waterslide. It's not at all glamorous and chic but comfortable and functional. Good beach out the back. The hotel charging for Wi-fi doesn't seem appropriate given what other hotels do. […] Breakfast was good. Value for money is not that great given other places in Asia but we travelled over Christmas break and probably overpaid for that period. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The pictures of the hotel do not correspond to the reality!!! The resort is really old (more than 20 years old), all the villas are very used and dirty, all ground floor villas have very specific "old" smell. Penthouse villas are better. Plunge pool is impossible to use because of big quantity of chlorine which is used to disinfect it. We have seen […] 5 villas before choosing the villa to stay!!! The beach is not private, you have to leave the resort and cross over a street to arrive to the beach, where you have to pay for the beach chairs and umbrellas. The gym is too small and old as well. The breakfast is ok. It takes about 10 min to go to Patong by tuk-tuk. The wi-fi internet doesn't work almost every day! The staff is very bad educated, they demonstrate a bad knowledge of English and the indifference to the customer's needs!!!!! Read more
