Central Karon Village

Jungle Paradise

Ok so its not exactly in the heart of a Jungle but from your chalet thats what it feels like, and Paradise? well it was honestly the best holiday hotel I have been to.

The tour operator messed up the booking so on the first night there wasn't a chalet available, but the staff at the Central Karon village had everything arranged to see that we had accomodation nearby and one of the managers dealt with everything personally.

The next day when we booked back into the hotel they had a surprise for me, it was my Birthday so the staff had baked a cake and all gathered round to sing happy birthday to me, a very nice surprise.

The accomodation was excellent, OK its not a five star hotel with gold plated bathroom ware, but thas not what we wanted. The chalets are on a steep hill with the access roadway twisting and winding down from the restaurant and reception, and although the chalets are fairly close together, the natuarl plantlife and trees meant that there was a certain feeling of isolation and peacefullness, we could only see two other chalets from our room and balcony, and we looked directly over the swimming Pool, which was lit up at night and gave a marvellous view.

The Pool is a bit smal but we never spent much time there anyhow we were either down in Patong or on Karon beach.

The restaurant is top class, superb food and excellent service, cant say any better really. The bar was good although it did close fairly early, (however there is hotel transport available down to Patong) and made a really good Pina Colada, we had a Pina colada night with two Kiwi girls resulting in, I think, good entertainment for the staff and other guests alike.

I dont normally go to the same holiday resort twice, however the girlfriend and myself will definitely go back to this resort and this hotel, thank you very much for a marvellous time.

Unique Quality: Very friendly staff, quiet peacefull hotel close enough for the hustle and bustle of Patong.
