Karon Cliff Bungalows

The rooms at Karon Cliff Bungalows include a 50 m2 room with a balcony and a sea view, and a 39 m2 room with a beach view, both with air conditioning. Several rooms offer a choice of bed set-ups, and some rooms sleep two guests while others sleep three.

Depending on the room, you will find a coffee and tea maker, a mini bar, a refrigerator, a hair dryer or a flat-screen TV, and one room has a balcony or terrace. Several rooms have a separate shower and bathtub, and the 50 m2 room has both a bathtub and a shower, so bathroom arrangements also vary from room to room.

Karon Cliff Bungalows has a restaurant, a coffee shop and a bar, and the front desk is open 24 hours. The languages spoken at the hotel include English and Thai, and the property also has a garden for relaxing outdoors between days out on the island.

The hotel offers massage, billiards, fishing, tours, bicycle rental and ticket services. For work and everyday needs, there are business facilities, dry cleaning and a laundry service.

Family rooms are offered, and pets are allowed, with charges that may apply. Parking on site is available, and internet access is also offered, so guests arriving by car have a place to leave their vehicle.

Karon sits on the Andaman Sea coast of Phuket, between Patong and Kata, and its long sandy beach is a popular stretch for swimming. Karon Beach is 100 m from the hotel, and the roads near the beach have street-food stalls and massage shops. Karon is calmer than neighbouring Patong, which is the island's nightlife centre.

Karon View Point is a lookout over the bay. The Karon Night Market, 1.6 km away, is the place for street food in the evening. Patong Beach, 2.9 km away, is Phuket's best-known beach and the centre of its nightlife. Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), 5.4 km away, is one of the island's most revered temples, and Big Buddha Phuket stands on a hill above the island.

A good day could start with a swim at Karon Beach, continue to the viewpoint over the bay, and move on to Patong Beach in the afternoon before returning to the night market for dinner. Kata Beach, next door, is a quieter alternative to Patong for an afternoon swim with fewer people. The Phuket FantaSea show is a large evening production that is also on the island, for those who want to end the day with a show.
