Great choice for families preferring beach access
Featuring 245 guest rooms in a wide variety of classes, the Moevenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket is one of the larger 5-star resorts on Phuket. The location just across the road from the lovely Karon Beach is perfect for those who love the sand yet don’t want to pay for a boutique resort directly on it. The hotel is also a short walk from many restaurants in shops in Karon, so it allows for far greater choice than the isolated resorts.
While it might be fine for a romantic couple on a getaway, the Moevenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket is clearly designed to cater to families with children. There are kiddie pools and a fully staffed kids club, and many child-oriented food items at the buffet and other restaurants. Reviews are quite good and it sounds like many families return each year, so this should be a solid choice for the right type of guests.

What the reviews say
Reviews for the Moevenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket are generally very positive, particularly for its family facilities. Praise is high for the service and the way they handle small problems when they arise, and the rooms are large and very pleasant by most standards. The location gets high marks for being just across from a nice beach, and a short walk to shops and other restaurants.
A few people do mention that food and drinks within the hotel are a bit pricey, but that’s really to be expected for a 5-star resort on the beach. The most telling thing about reading the reviews is that this resort is very well designed to serve families with children, so romantic couples might find better options elsewhere.
