Sunset Plaza Karon by RESAVA

Great property but needed updating as the shower was almost falling apart in our unit. Also the huge hill to the property made access difficult but the free bus was a plus, however there was one day it just didn't run and there was just a note on the door without explanation. I understand low season but more communication would be better.

Nice self contained apartments with excellent ocean views over the town of Karon from its hilltop location. Short walk to shops and restaurants but with a very steep driveway to walk back up or down so take the stairs.

This was my first time in Phuket with the whole family so it was important that everything went according to plan. Well when we checked into the Sunset Plaza we were more than delighted with the size and comfort of the apartment. With two swimming pools to choose from it catered for all, young and old. The staff are amazing, you are always greeted by a friendly smile and nothing is a bother for them. We spent a lot of time on the balcony absorbing the fantastic ocean views and with the beach so close it was ideal for that morning dip in the ocean. The only negative comment if it is negative is that the driveway up to the Sunset Plaza if quiet steep. We walked up that driveway every day, good for losing weight but a killer if you are walking up it after a big meal. Over all our 8 day stay at the Sunset Plaza was extremely enjoyable and we are looking forward to coming back to it again next year. Thanking you all in advance Tony King

Our 2 bed, 2 bathroom apartment was very spacious and on first glance we were very pleased. Had a spa bath on the balcony and a great sea view. On closer inspection there were a few issues. The bathrooms had a strange unpleasant smell, as did the kitchen sink. The chrome around base of the shower was filthy and rusty. Plenty of cooking equipment such as sauce pans and utensils etc but a bit short on crockery- we only had one teaspoon and 2 plates and thick plastic glasses. As far as amenities go... the advertised bar was not open at all ( closes in low season apparently!). The pool area was nice, but had very limited seating and was in total shade after midday. There is a very steep (though quite short) slope to the apartments. You need to be fairly able to do this every time you leave and return. There is a free shuttle van which we used quite frequently. Operates 9 to 6 most days Takes you and picks up from supermarket and beach. To get to restaurants etc. had to walk along and cross over a very busy and dangerous 4 lane road with no paths and no safe crossing place. But once done this some nice restaurants along the sea front.
