In On The Beach

In by the Beach is a quaint hotel right on a lovely less crowded end of Karon beach. It is very safe, clean and hosts a fruit punch, sweets and fruit happy hour each day at 4:00 poolside. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a variety of fresh items to choose from. Sunsets are Amazing from the beach or your balcony. Many European families spend 2 weeks here to enjoy the sunshine. The location is perfect for a relaxing holiday and 1 hour taxi ride from the airport. There is a weekend market 1 minute walk away as well as 2 beachfront restaurants. Party Bars, restaurants and shops in Karon are 5 minutes walk away. The Sea is clear and cool, the sand is white and so fine on your feet. The hotel rents beach chairs and umbrellas. Some rooms have a lake view as well. The bed was comfortable, a small refrigerator and hot pot for morning coffee are nice touches. Listening to the waves crashing from my balcony now and I'm living the dream!

The hotel stuff are Friendly and it's literally on the beach (you or your kids don't have to cross any street, also you can hear the ocean waves in your room which is very relaxing),the rooms were renovated and the bathroom is just new, BUT there was humidity in my pillows and bedsheets like they were stored for long time and if you want them to change it they will charge you 1200bhat!!!!! Which is ridiculous! I wish the owner care more about housekeeping, it's not going to cost him anything! The location may look scary and isolated on your arrival but there are restaurants 5min walking and mega 7-11 7min walking, the area is safe even at night. Beach Dogs are friendly just give them some food and water :) most guests are decent russians.
