Phunawa Resort Phuket Karon Beach

Excellent

The hot shower didn’t work on first day, but they fixed the moment we asked for it

Reasonably priced delicios food at the Nawa restaurant, kind & friendly staff members.

Not that I did not like. I am thankful they provided us with water. A bit more would be ggreat. It was very hot when we were there. We ran out of water.

The accommodation were clean and modern. The staff members were friendly and exceptionally helpful.

The location is a bit of walk from the beach. But that is not the resorts fault.

The resort is conveniently located near enough to Karon beach to walk, but far enough away that it was not caught up in the busy thoroughfare of main roadway. The restaurant staff & airport shuttle driver were exceptional! Both the restaurant & airport shuttle were surprisingly affordable. The free beach shuttle was also convenient, however, the beach was close enough that walking to & from was easier than sticking to the shuttle schedule.

The accommodations were less than ideal, and blatantly falsely advertised. We booked a two bedroom suite with one king size and one queen size bed. What we received was a suite with two queen "beds" that were more like concrete slabs than actual mattresses. It may have been softer to sleep directly on the tile floor. If you have any type of back problems, this is not the resort/bed for you. One of the rooms initially had a small infestation of hornets in the windowsill, however, the hotel staff addressed it after we reported it. For some reason, in our updated room the hotel chose to use patio furniture in the living area instead of a traditional couch. While this is likely convenient for hotel cleaning staff, it is arguably tacky given it is classified as a resort. The pictures make the facilities look more modern than they are in reality.
