Luxury resort set on acreage offering romantic privacy
A contemporary resort located on the hillside, the Madarava Resort & Spa Karon Beach is quite large with facilities and rooms scattered across 7.2 acres. All together there are 130 rooms available to choose from with each bunched in with others to create 39 different villas. The scenery around the resort is considered a sight to remember with greenery and waterfalls all around and Karon Beach to the front.
A walk to the beach takes about 5 minutes where guests can sit down on the powdery sand and relax or jump in the water to cool off or take a swim. Back at the resort, vacationers will find both relaxing spa activities and 3 infinity pools to lounge next to. You can then mix it up a bit with some exercise at the on-site fitness center. Though most activities seem to cater to couples on a romantic getaway, this resort is also family friendly.

What the reviews say
Reviews are a mixed bag, with some guests feeling that the resort views were a little misleading and not as grand as they thought they would be. Some have also stated that the pool side service is slow or lacking. On the other hand, other guests have said that the views are beautiful and the service is impeccable with staff hurriedly running about making sure everyone was taken care of. This makes it seem that the poor service cited may have been an odd case or two.
The resort receives high ranks on their rooms with reviews stating over and over again how spacious each room is and how quiet and private they are during a stay. The food also receives great thoughts with many saying that the breakfast is a perfect way to start the day.
