Travel reviews for Horizon Karon Beach Resort & Spa
Date of stay: Dec 07, 2011
Accommodation and facilities:
Very good service and pollite staff. Extra plus for a bus into patong and back approx 5 times /day for free. Nice location between karon and kata beach but it is a few hundred meters hill up to the hotel from the main road. If you like to pay for it so is there tuk-tuk service by the hotel.
We were upgraded to a one bedroom suite and it was really nice. Two ac, two tv etc. Also a kitchenette. 3 stairs and no elevator but staff take care of luggage both at arriving and departing. Whait is disturbing me and is reducing the grading is that wifi shall be so expensive at this hotel, and many others in thailand. I paid 300 bath for one day....10 years ago I stayed in bungalows for that prices per night.

Accommodation and facilities:
Horizon Resort is a fabulous place to stay. The staff are all unfailingly welcoming and friendly, and it s in a great location away from the crowds and only a short downhill walk to the beach. If you have difficulty with lots of stairs, recommend you ask for a room on the lower floors as there is no lift, and utilise the free tuk-tuk to and from the beach.
Reservation service:
The booking service was excellent, with immediate notification of the reservation. The suggestion to book a car to/from the airport was very welcome (and cheap) as it s an hour from the airport, and Phuket arrivals hall is crowded with taxis touting for your business.

Accommodation and facilities:
Very disappointed that the hotel allowed guests to check in prior to me arriving when the booking was under my name. It s scary to think that anyone could ve checked into these rooms!
This hotel looked fantastic in photos on the internet, however the rooms were a rather different story. For a 6-7 year old resort, the place is quite run-down. The rooms smell mouldy, the poorly designed bathroom ends up with puddles of water on the ground from showers, and the rooms are on the smaller side for Thailand.
The swimming area, and breakfast area are lovely, however breakfast could do with some more fans or air-con. The selection of food is great, and everyone can find something they like.
Staff are polite and helpful.
Reservation service:
Easy to use.

Hotel was beautiful. Excellent facilities. Loved the swimming pool. Very friendly staff who are always willing to help with a smile. Room was very spacious and neat. Resort is set in a beautiful natural surrounding with lots of trees and closer to nature unlike the concrete jungle in the city. Will definitely want to stay at Horizon Karon Beach the next time we re in Phuket. Thank you and sawadee krup.

Accommodation and facilities:
Just returned from 11 nights at Horizon Karon beach resort which is located at the Kata end of Karon. The resort had great facilities on site but I found the rooms and bathrooms to be a little tired for it s star rating. Other than that, staff were great, food was great, the kids loved the free kids club and location was great!
Reservation service:
I found Sawadee to be very helpful and wouldn t hesitate to use their service again. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

Accommodation and facilities:
We spent 6 nights in this hotel.
The hotel itself is OK. We received complimentary buffet dinners,but I was suprised because of only 1 time we had buffet and next 2 times we had to choose form the menu. I have no problem with menu but agreement is a agreement.
Hotel service is really good one, breakfest perfect also.
I see a following points for improvements:
- do not ask for a deposit 2000Bath ( you have to have a change money which you received end of your stay)
- SPA is really nice one but most expensive, with the better calculation and afficiance I can imagine more people and more massages.
Reservation service:
Booking service was perfect without any doubts, flexible ...!

Accommodation and facilities:
I really liked the atmosphere of this hotel, nice decent sized clean rooms, beds a bit hard but don t think thats unusual in Asia. Lovely large tropical pool area. Friendly staff who went out of their way to help especially since i was travelling on my own with a 3 year old, they made her holiday with their attention ! Yes the hotel is situated on a hill but although steep it is close to the beach & the tuk tuk service is very good till 6pm.Bars & restaurants close by. All in all excellent value for the price i paid with sawadee.
Reservation service:
Easy & efficient like the fact i can pay for the holiday in two seperate installments.
