Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The sand was so soft and the water was crystal clear. We spent hours lounging under the sun and taking romantic walks along the shore. The beach was perfect for both relaxation and fun activities. The nearby restaurants offered delicious seafood and the atmosphere was just perfect for a couple. Highly recommend

    Very nice beach, we found it to be much better than kata beach as it was slightly quieter. Lots of sunloungers available for a good price and a 7-eleven very nearby too

    Nice sunset view!! But a bit crowded and the water is not so clear. The tides gets low and you have to walk a litlle to be able to swim.

    You can get lovely views of Karon and Kata beaches. The Big Buddha is also visible from up here. 15 -20 minutes is more than sufficient for a quick visit and some photography.

    Great open air market, making it more bearable in the heat. Goods selection of items/souvenirs and food. Open Tuesday and Friday. Worth a visit. Don’t miss the donuts near the main entrance, they are delicious!

    Great range, great food and great atmosphere. Be warned the heat in the shopping area. Our 11 year old fainted (this has NEVER happened before despite multiple holidays to south east asia). The market is a great set up and the orange uniform makes it easy to feel relaxed and trust the hygiene and quality of the foods as it feels well organised and hygiene is enforced.

    Visited this small temple site with family. Quiet area, nice temple and sites to see.. on a Main Street and very close to Karon Beach.

    Easy to walk to from central Karon area and large traffic circle at beach.. smaller site so only need short visit. Well worth a look when staying here.

    I had no idea a public park could look so nice. This park is beautiful. Perfect place for a romantic walk. Also good to take children for a walk

    This hike was offered as a tour by my hotel, there is a lovely view and a great little street cafe to have a smoothie or coconut water when you descend the mountain.

    Make sure you go in the morning when it isn't too hot.

    This place is awesome! So many props for photos! You can spend a few hours just hanging out and taking photos! I recommend this place as a must as a MUST when in Phuket! Bring a change of clothes as well so you can take photos in different outfits!

    It was great to walk around the grounds, very theraputic and relaxing. Now it is quiet, so year can hear the monks chanting

    Gorgeous spot! We took a taxi to the place where you then take a 4x4 (or rent an ATV). It was 200 per person for the drive to the beach and access. It’s a rough longish road, and the beach area is quite nice. Not lots of shade but you can rent chairs and umbrellas or hang out at one of the restaurant/bars. There’s a fresh water shower, too. Water was too rough to swim in, but still had a really lovely day!
