Karon is a beach area on Phuket's Andaman coast, and Karon Beach is the nearest beach, about 870 m from Karon Pool Hotel. The sand is close enough to reach on foot from the hotel. The neighbourhood has small shops, food stalls and markets along the roads that lead down to the sand. Patong, the island's best-known nightlife area, lies farther along the road.

Wat Suwankiriket, a pagoda about 600 m away, and the Karon Night Market are the nearest sights, and the market fills with food stalls in the evening. Phuket Big Buddha, a large seated statue on a hilltop, is 2.2 km away, and Wat Chalong, one of the island's best-known temples, is 3.8 km away. Many of these sights lie in the same part of the island, so a single day can cover several of them. Phuket International Airport is 29.8 km from the hotel, and the hotel offers an airport transfer.

A day could begin with a swim in the outdoor pool, continue with a visit to Phuket Big Buddha, and end with a walk down to Karon Beach. Dinner at the Karon Night Market makes a simple end to the day, and for trips further afield, tours and car hire are offered.
