Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket - Phuket

If you are looking for a 5 star resort & spa hotel where you and your spouse can relax in an adequate environment - than this is not the place to go to. We have booked this place since we already know the Mövenpick Hotel in Dubai. Unfortunately, there are galaxies between them. The furniture seems to be at least 10-15 years old with scratches and old […] dirty cutions. The hotel staff hardly speaks any English and is unlike the rest of the Thais surprisingly impolite. The environment including the beach was not even close to what we expected. Quite dirty and loud. Mehr

Das Hotel ist wirklich sehr schön und liegt auch nah am Strand ( 5 min. zu Fuß durch die Gartenanlage. Zimmer waren geräumig und sauber. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Preise im Hotel ( z.B. an der Poolbar ) sind im Vergleich zu den Preisen außerhalb des Hotels sehr teuer.

Das Möwenpick-Resort liegt in einem wunderbaren tropischen Garten, eine grüne Oase, in der man sich ausruhen kann. Der Beach ist durch eine Straße getrennt. Alle Facilities (3 Poole, Sport- und Fitnessanlagen) sind großzügig, ideal auch für Kinder. Super-Frühstücksbuffet. Wir waren in der Nebensaison ( Monsun-Zeit) dort, erhielten ein schönes Zimmer-Upgrade. […] In der Hauptsaison mag alles etwas weniger geruhsam sein. Mehr

Nach Anfangsschwierigkeiten hat es uns sehr gefallen. Es werden Zimmerbilder- die vor vielen Jahren fotografiert wurden- im Internet, sowie Vorort im Hotel, präsentiert! Man entscheidet sich für das teuere Zimmer mit Gartensicht u.bekommt ein mit Betonmauern umgebener Sitzplatz,enttäuschend! Nach mehrmaligen, mühsamen Anfragen(viel Zeitaufwand) hat […] es nach 3 Tagen m.dem Zimmerwechsel doch noch geklappt. Mehr

Das Mövenpick Resort hat einen super schönen, riesigen Park und schön angelegte Pools. Alles wirkt extrem gepflegt. Die Zimmer sind schön und zweckmässig eingerichtet. Das Personal sehr nett. Die Anlage sehr sauber. Einzige Minuspunkte: Die Liegen und Sonnenschirme am Strand gehören nicht zum Hotel und müssen täglich (200 Baht) bezahlt werden. Zudem […] ist am Kiosk die berühmte Mövenpick-Eiscreme manchmal abgelaufen. (Verbraucherdatum) Das geht für uns Schweizer gar nicht. Trotzdem würden wir wieder in das wunderschöne Hotel gehen. Alles andere ist sehr zu empfehlen. Vielleicht könnte man noch Wifi im Zimmer anschliessen, ist aber für uns nicht so wichtig. Mehr

The service was faultless and the hotel was clean and well maintained. The real downfall would certainly be the sheer size of the resort. We stayed in a pool villa however it was just too spread out to really enjoy the resort. The surrounding neighbourhoos was also fairly bland. Sure there was a nice beach however not much else worth noting.

Movenpick is one of only two beachside hotels in Karon worth staying at, with the other being the much more expensive Hilton. The facilities are great with many restaurants to chose from which we found to be much better than the nearby local food which was of poor quality for a mostly Russian clientele. The gardens are fabulous and offer guests a retreat […] from the heat and the overwhelming crowds and noise of Phuket. Access to the other more crowded beaches nearby like Patang are cheap and taxis are everywhere. Overall a very nice, clean, safe and affordable hotel. Mehr

This resort is close to the action of Phuket island without the irritation of rowdy tourists and the hustle bustle of a popular destination. Totally loved it and planning our next stay. Service from hotel staff was prompt and always courteous. Even the fitness centre was well equipped and serviced well.

We stayed in the Residences- part of hotel; perfect for a family with a baby and toddler. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a nice living area with kitchen. All in great condition. Only downside is the you have to talk the stairs to go to the 2nd floor. Food in the different restaurants is very good. The hotel has multiple pools so that it nevers feels busy. […] Overall a very good experience. I'm not rating it excellent, we have spend many vacations in the 4 seasons or Ritz and this hotel is not at that service level (nor do you pay Ritz rates). Within its 4 star class a perfect experience. Mehr

Food and beverages excellent. Pools and facilities excellent. Rooms clean and functional but must be getting close to refurb as they are dated.

We were in awe when we arrived at this beautiful hotel. Not to mention in the heart of Karon Beach. Sea & shops at our doorstep. We loved this place, food & frinedly staff.

The villa with plunge pool out from our own verandah was sensational and very private. Large bedroom and bathroom with the deepest, longest marble bath ever seen. Location of Movenpick very good for shopping (next door has a huge gallery of stalls) and better than Karon beach. Grounds beautifully maintained and villa guests have exclusive access to […] one of three pools. Plenty of restaurants although surprisingly not well patronised. We were happy with the selection and quality of the food but no doubt it is cheaper to eat outside the complex. Beach opposite the Movenpick. Couldn't fault our stay. Mehr

Great resort. Good location. Stayed in garden villa after checking into standard room well worth the extra cost. Totally different experience being in the gardens as to staying in the standard room which was small and noisy.

What a fantastic hotel! From the minute we arrived to the minute we left we experinced exceptional service. They even delivered a cake to the room on my husband's birthday with no prompting from me! The sand bar was a fantastic place to relax - especially during happy hour!

We had an initial incident with check-in where we were left to wait for 2 hours. The reception staff did however offer us a free upgrade in order to rectify the inconvenience. The hotel grounds and gardens are large and well kept. There are 3 swimming pools and a dive center attached to the one closest to the beach entrance. The main pool closest to […] reception has a swim up bar with kids area and slide, kiddies looked like they were having a ball, however not really for couples looking for a bit of a quieter setting which is a shame as it would have been nice to have made use of the pool bar. The 3rd pool offered a more relaxing experience and still came with food and drink service. The room was great, however we found it to be a little "tired". Cracks in the walls and peeling paint. The bath never really enticed us as the room had a bit of this old/used feeling and appearance. We had a plunge pool out front and outdoor shower which was great to cool off under. The breakfast offered a good range of variety and a pleasant setting next to the main pool. As the hotel is rather large with many guests, the pacifica (breakfast restaurant) was busy and produced food in bulk. The quality of food was average as a result. Other restaurants within the hotel were expensive and we chose to step outside the grounds of the hotel for all other meals. The price of the hotel's spa treatments were also exorbitant but again there are plenty of massage parlours just 100m outside the hotel. Mehr

Movenpick has a certain 'older' style about it's hotel and bungalows. That being said it has been very well maintained. The main hotel tower where we stayed in a Deluxe Ocean View room had a view of the sea, albeit from 300-400m back with the sand being obstructed by trees. The room was very large and always perfectly clean. The buffet breakfast was […] very good with a good variety of different cuisine including many 'made while you wait' options. If I were to stay in the Karon Beach area again I would probably stay here. Mehr

Be careful when booking this hotel via expedia. They do not guarantee the type of bed you will have in your room. We are a couple and we had to sleep in twin beds, when we requested a double bed.

We did not let ourselves to by turned off by this two […] small details and we enjoyed a lot our stay. Mehr

We were thrilled to be upgraded to a garden villa at check in. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is extremely well maintained and the grounds are green and gorgeous.

Beautiful setting on Karon Beach and lived our penthouse room with rooftop plunge pool. Unfortunately not enough staff or poolside chairs to fully cater for the number of guests.

Overall the hotel was nice. The rooms are starting to get a bit tired (we were in an Ocean view room), I think it's the use of the dark wood, however, they were well maintained, clean and comfortable. The main lobby and pool area and grounds are lovely. The resort is huge and it was nice to have a few pools to choose from. The staff were friendly, however […] the front desk staff and concierge should have a little more local knowledge about activities in Karon Beach such as the days the Temple markets run and recommendations for restuarants, tailors etc. The resort was good for young kids, they loved the slide in the main pool! Kids club was a bit disappointing as the kids were bored in there. It's quite small and limited with activities although the staff seem really lovely. Mehr

We were staying at the hotel in the tsunami and the hotel had no emergency evacuation plan, no sirens which is unacceptable. The warning system was basically staff telling people. We stayed in a basic room, it was out dated, dark, small and very noisy. Speaking to other people who stayed in the villas, I would recommend paying the extra for a better […] room. The grounds were really beautiful and the staff were excellent and did everything they could in the tsunami to assist us. The day spa was also very good. Mehr

The stay was outstanding! This was our 2nd time staying at the Karon Movenpick. We are already planning a 3rd visit in December. The residence room was defiantly worth the price and we will utilize again. The only issue we had was that the A/C went out in the master bedroom and the level of maid service could be a tad bit better - it seemed as if the […] floors, table top and counters were always cleaned in a hurry. Other than that, this is a great hotel for families with small children. Mehr

This hotel is definitely the best hotel in the Karon Beach area of Phuket. It looks great - fresh and clean and traditional Thai style, and it kept very tidy. We loved every minute of our stay here. Breakfast - something for just about every nationality in the world it seemed! We especially loved the freshly squeezed juicves every morning,and location […] of the restaurant around the main pool area. Happy hour - 6-7pm every day at the swim-up pool bar. It was great! 3 swimming pools - the resort is great for families, couples and small groups of friends, so there was something for everyone Location - fantastic location just across the road from the beach, and short walk to other shops, restaurants, bars too. PattongBeach is about 20 mins away in a tuk-tuk. For the better restaurants in Karon, come out of the beach exit of the hotel and turn left or right, The beach area has better quality restaurants and is quieter/better atmosphere too. The main street of Karon was a bit crazy with traffic and tacky tourist shops for our liking. Mehr

Traveled to Phuket with a group of friends some singles and couples and we all shared a great time at the Movenpick Resort, from the first moments walking in to the Lobby reception we new that we had chosen the right spot. Beautiful grounds mixed with the perfect beach location with access to food, shopping and water sports made this resort unbeatable […] in my opinion. We upgraded to one of the Residence Suites, which turned out to be the best travel move I've ever made, the view was perfect. Did a good bit of touring while i was in Phuket and didn't see many places that could compete! Mehr

Villa rooms are a good size. (we had 2 adults and 2 small children in ours and it was OK). The grounds are quite lovely and comfortable. Our kids loved the pool and waterslide. It's not at all glamorous and chic but comfortable and functional. Good beach out the back. The hotel charging for Wi-fi doesn't seem appropriate given what other hotels do. […] Breakfast was good. Value for money is not that great given other places in Asia but we travelled over Christmas break and probably overpaid for that period. Mehr

The pictures of the hotel do not correspond to the reality!!! The resort is really old (more than 20 years old), all the villas are very used and dirty, all ground floor villas have very specific "old" smell. Penthouse villas are better. Plunge pool is impossible to use because of big quantity of chlorine which is used to disinfect it. We have seen […] 5 villas before choosing the villa to stay!!! The beach is not private, you have to leave the resort and cross over a street to arrive to the beach, where you have to pay for the beach chairs and umbrellas. The gym is too small and old as well. The breakfast is ok. It takes about 10 min to go to Patong by tuk-tuk. The wi-fi internet doesn't work almost every day! The staff is very bad educated, they demonstrate a bad knowledge of English and the indifference to the customer's needs!!!!! Mehr

Infrastructure - rooms, lobby, grounds, pool - is 5-star, but service is 3-3.5 star. Given that, the US $300-odd that we paid per room per night was not especially good value for money. (Although we did travel during peak New Year's season.) Positives: 3 pools. Main pool is fantastic. Big, deep in parts, shallow in others. Swim-up bar decent-sized, […] although getting a bit old. Big lobby - airy and grand. I stayed in an ocean-view room, in the main building, which was standard-issue 5-star. Not extravagant, but perfectly adequate for such a property. (The rooms are aging and will need renovation soon.) Note, rooms in the main building (least expensive ones) are a 5-7 minute walk to the beach. Some subset of villas are much closer. Negatives: Service left something to be desired. The general impression we got was that the staff wanted to be done with whatever conversation they were having with us as soon as they could, so they could attend to presumably more important things. The vaunted friendliness of Thailand was missing, but unfortunately, it was not replaced with Western efficiency either. Language was an issue - one expects a European 5-star resort to have staff that speak adequate English, but this was not always the case, and resulted in one instance of particularly bad service.

I think it is fair to say that the hotel is 4 star at best, not 4.5 stars. The staff were very welcoming and tried to be helpful were they could be. The room was nice enough - the beds were comfortable. However, even with an upgraded room, the view was not spectacular. Perhaps we were expecting more before we arrived and our overall disappointment with […] Phuket influenced our feelings about the hotel, but we left feeling a bit ripped off. That's the only really specific gripe I could say. The prices really are absurd for Thailand. The hotel capitalises too much on tourists and the food, spa, airport transfers and tours feel extortionate! The hotel is family friendly but for that reason, the pool is not a peaceful place to relax and read a book. I think the hotel would suit some perfectly well, but it was not for us, but neither for that matter was Phuket. Mehr

For our relaxing holiday vacation, we ended up booking a room at the Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket. Not at all disappointed with our choice. Hotel facilities were excellent, such as the three swimming pools, our spacious Plunge Pool Villa and the good variety of food at the three in-house restaurants. However, the in-room entertainment could […] have been much better and at a 5-star resort, free. Staff very friendly as always, but a late check out only available until 2pm for free. The business center was free for use within the opening hours, even after checkout. Not satisfied with the Spa - Call rates for within Thailand were very expensive, as we were charged over 70 baht for a 2 min call to a hotel in Bangkok. All in all a recommendable hotel. Mehr
