The Karon Villa was by far the best accommodation I have stayed at in Phuket. As a frequent traveller to Phuket, I am always on the look out for affordable, comfortable and well situated residences.
I will never again seek accommodation elsewhere whilst staying in Phuket. Unlike hotels, the villas provide a sense of homeliness at the same time as providing unsurpased personal attention and service.
The villas are ideally located on high ground set back from Karon Beach, providing uninterrupted views and a security blanket against the ever looming tsunami threat.
Karon Beach provides easy access to busy tourist centres such as Patong Beach, yet is convenientlt detached from all the hustle and bustle. The internet description of the property were accurate in every regard ie. location, dimensions, pictures etc and the property was well serviced and maintained by the staff member, Ot.
Customer service was exceptional and mention must be made of the efforts of Ot, who readily adjusted his schedule to allow for the requirements of our party - including attending the marets and cookinf for us on occassion, collecting and arranging pick up for laundry and even adjusting his start time to midday in order to allow our an extra sleep to recover from hangovers - a regular event.
I highly recommend this property and the additional management services provided. Unlike other operators, the staff provide activity costings which represent true market values - this can be verified by directly seeking the websites of the activity providers.
In past holidays I have been ripped off by service providers who act as agents for tour/service operators in order to collect commissions, however, the management of these villas to provide real packages and discounts that I would be unable to achieve if I was to book the activities directly. My only regret is that we didn't pre-book more activities. The staff speak english to a high standard and are always available to answer questions/requests
