You get what you pay for with the Grand Sunset Hotel. The hotel is very clean and upkept, the hotel staff is extremely friendly and courteous, and while... the rooms are not very large, they are a good place to relax after a day in the sun (the balconies are very nice). There is a pool on the rooftop which isn't used very much but offers good views of the beach. The beach is a short 2-3 minute walk away. The breakfast buffet is a bit pricey but delicious. The hotel is located away from the central part of Karon Beach, but there is a small strip of restaurants and shops one road over from the hotel. There is also a larger market for souvenirs about 5 minutes walk away. If you're looking for a quieter location that is still in walking distance from the busy areas of Karon Beach, then the Grand Sunset might be a good choice. The only issue we encountered was that the cab drivers do not know where the hotel is located. It is on a smaller road off of Patak West road. It shares this road with a larger hotel, Bauman Casa, which cab drivers do know. We would definitely recommend this hotel! by a Hotels.com guest on 12/28/11
