"The hotel seems to had better times. I guess it was a very nice hotel but thing are getting old and not good fixed.Breakfast is very small and served unprofessional.Ordering lunch from restaurant can t be recommended because very few and doesn t taste well.Staff is friendly but not trained well maybe all new.The area Karon is great and offers a lot."

"För priset så var det ett mycket bra hotell. Nära till stranden och annat som man vill ha.Reser man med barn så finns barnklubb man kan köpa till.Nackdel kan vara den väl traffikerade vägen man måste gå över. (Fast det gäller ju alla hotell i Karon)Frukost ok."

"Pleasant staff, close to the beach and not a far walk from the main shops and resturants. Hotel food is over priced but the rooms are nice and big and the staff very friendly"

Fantastic- quick, efficient, trust-worthy...no travel agents necessary!, September 20, 2008

"Overall, great resort for families with children of all ages. We stayed 2 weeks in a standard & adventure room (under-water theme). Both our children are little- 1yr and 2yr. Kids club and kids pool is great and suitable for all ages up to mid-teens. We chose not to utilize the child-care in the kids club a we felt the staff were inexperienced, sometimes disinterested, had poor english skills and it was expensive. Luckily the resort let kids play in the kids club under supervision of their parents at no charge The breakfast buffet is ok, but after 2wk of the same thing (not changing), a bit boring. As we were there during off-season, the Grill by the pool was also closed which was disappointing (with 2 babies we often ate at the resort- not much variety). I had read reviews of Ramada prior to booking about it needing renovation and dirty/poorly maintained bathrooms- we would agree with this. BUT- as I said, we did have a great holiday KIDS HAPPY - EVERYBODY HAPPY! ...unfortunately means adult luxuries might need to be compromised!."

"I was very disappointed with the hotel. it was very run down. The room was an ok size but the bathroom was very, very small. Only had a curtain to separate the shower cubicle from the toilet so when you showed, the whole floor (which isn t that big) got wet! Just outside our room was this foul smell which entered the room which wasn t nice to smell first thing in the morning. The breakfast was awful too. The kidz club which is right by the kid s pool on 2nd floor was OK... but charged an arm and leg to babysit for even 4 hours and it wasn t aircon either. I traveled with 3 kids and they loved the swimming pool and the slide and our room was just by the pool so it was very convenient nipping in and out of the room. They also charge you for EVERYTHING, at one stage, wanted to charge me for complimentary water! A short ride away to Karon Centre they also charged and should have been complimentary. Despite the above, we made our stay enjoyable but will not be returning to the Ramada again. I wouldn t recommend this hotel to anyone. The pictures you see online are not the same in real life either! Reception staff though was friendly."

Travel agency gave me a special promotion. I paid 2 nights and stayed 3 nights. It better than other agency., June 19, 2008

"It was a good memory. My kids love the castle room. They splended a lot of time at this room. The beach had to take a little bit walk. It was very fun to play with the wave at the beach and slider at the swimming pool. Breakfast was nice.All the staff were helpful and nice."

"We stayed here with two small kids. We loved it. Facilities are good and the staff is trying hard to make it a good stay. There is a kids club with a lot of activities and toys, fully supervised. There are two large swimming pools. One is for relaxing and one for the kids. 5 minutes walking to the beach and Karon centre. A very good restaurant (American style) and entertainment every night. The prices seem high but the portions are large. This is a good 4 star hotel in European standard. Only thing to note is that the local taxi company that waits outside the hotel overcharges you. If you rent another taxi they try to scare you out of the car. Don’t use them! If you have small kids this is the place for you in Karon."

Faultless booking service, and an excellent price, September 9, 2007

"The hotel has excellent facilities, but is looking a bit tired. The reception/public areas are spotless and modern, however, the rooms are not to the same standard. We stayed in a castle themed room, for the kids, and the size was fantastic, with the upstairs for the kids, and downstairs for the grownups. There is a PS2 for the kids, but in the 2 weeks we stayed there, only 1 game worked. All the DVD s we got were hopelessly scratched, and refused to load (we had/swapped at reception etc around 10 in all). The advertised TV is very limited for English speaking guests, as it is limited to 5 or 6 channels, and these are not for kids in any way. The 2 pools are very good, and the hotel facilities in general are also good.The location is at the very end of Karon Beach, there are restaurants within walking distance and the market is not too far. Its 4km to the other end of Karon Beach/Kata beach where there is a larger selection of restaurants/bars etc. Its a long walk with children, and a Tuk Tuk there is around 200 baht each way. It soon adds up. We hired a car for a week, and at 1200 Baht per day, is well worth it. It is easy to drive to the mainland for the boats out to Pang Nga Bay. The hotel staff are very helpful and courteous, and go out of their way to help.I would recommend this hotel, but be aware of the location"

Great service, easy to navigate and the prices were better than if we booked there., August 26, 2007
