Great video and review. I was thinking of coming to this hotel next Christmas with my family. It looks great value. Just wondering about one thing. The water looks very rough. Would you think it might be calmer in December? Thanks 😁
Hi, thanks for message. We've not stayed at Karon hotel yet but heard that it's nicer and cleaner. For location, Kata is busier with more shops and restaurants.
Stayed here for the sandbox last July. There were just FOUR of us in the hotel for the two weeks. My Thai GF joined me, but the first night we just had to yell at each other across the pool area because she wasn't allowed near me until my negative PCR test results came back (next morning about 8am). Phuket was *awesome* back then (as apposed to the low-rent tourist hellhole it normally is). We had a car and our mountain bikes and had a great time. Cheers Covid - I never would have gone there in 'normal' times.
Hi, thanks for your comment and your story about yelling at each other was so unforgettable. Indeed Covid-19 though had been a disaster but it opened doors to something we would never experience in normal life. I've been in Phuket many times and this is the first time I really fell in love with it. I think you can still come back these days as it's not back to normal yet 😊
@@wheretophuket9295 well we *did* return at Xmastime but only because a Kiwi mate there has a (small) yacht. So we crashed in Kata and spend each day sailing with them. Each to their own, but Phuket is so over-developed and over-touristed. It's like Thailand-lite. Sorry not my cup of tea. There are still some great places in Thailand that suit me better.
@@stangoodvibes It's true that Phuket has been over-touristed except during the pandemic. I hope the government had learnt that quality is better than quantity. Have a great day!
Very good review. Good info
That room view amazing. Any chance you remember the room number. We looking to book next year. They closed now for renovations.
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I forgot the room number. But you could ask the hotel staff for the sea view.
@@wheretophuket9295 thanks will do. Let’s hope they actually responded. Have emailed them twice now sadly 2 weeks later no response.
@@debischlemmer7878 That's weired!

Hi, many thanks for your compliment. I'll ask the hotel about the waves for you.
I've got reply from the hotel. They said December is calmer and less rain than mid-year but it's best during Jan-Mar. Hope this is useful.
kata or karon? which hotel is cleaner, better location for shops and restaurants?
