"Staff where very helpful"
Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort
"Overall rating: 7.7/10 ⭐ A very enjoyable family stay at Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort. We had a lovely ocean-view room, which really added to the experience, and the check-in process was smooth, efficient and welcoming. The resort itself is spacious, green and relaxing, with excellent pool areas and a very convenient location close to Karon Beach. It has the feel of a proper full-scale resort, with plenty of space for families to unwind. The staff were courteous and helpful throughout our stay, and the property was generally well maintained and comfortable. The only point to keep in mind is that the resort is quite large, so there can be a fair amount of walking between different areas. Overall, though, we had a very pleasant stay. Recommended for families looking for a spacious beachfront-style resort experience in Karon."
Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach
"We absolutely love staying at the Marriott — it’s without a doubt our favourite hotel! ❤️ The all-inclusive package is fantastic and makes the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. There’s so much to choose from, and the food across the resort is consistently delicious. The Beach Grill, La Cala, Chang Thai and Merchant Kitchen are all fantastic, with plenty of variety to suit everyone. The pickleball court and pools are also great — everything is so well maintained, and there’s always something fun to do. The swim-up bar is brilliant, and the Rum Shack is exceptional. A special mention to Nina at the Rum Shack, who is a master at creating cocktails, she’s absolutely delightful and always makes you feel so welcome! 🍹 The rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet, and the beach, reef and beautifully maintained grounds are simply fantastic. But honestly, the best thing about this resort is the staff. Especially All the people in the beach grill and the pool staff! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and genuinely happy to help. They go above and beyond to make sure you have the best possible stay, and that’s what keeps bringing us back. We absolutely love this place and can’t wait to return next year ❤️🌴"

Chalong Travel Guide
Chalong, located on Phuket's south coast, is best known as the biggest bay and pier on this popular Thai island paradise. Chalong's other claims to fame are its namesake temple and the white marble Big Buddha statue which towers over this picturesque crescent shaped bay on the Nakkerd Hills. Chalong also provides plenty of opportunities for active pursuits like horse riding, shooting, Muay Thai boxing, and scuba diving expeditions to the islands of Ko Racha and Ko Hae. It is easy to get to Chalong from Phuket Town as songthaews (local buses) run throughout the day. In the evening, a taxi is the only option unless you have access to a car.
Don’t MissOne Chalong attraction which is impossible to miss is Big Buddha, a majestic white marble Buddha statue standing 45 m tall between Kata and Chalong. Aaround 1,000 people come to this sacred site each day.
Another sacred Chalong landmark is Wat Chalong, considered the most significant of Phuket's 29 Buddhist temples. Wat Chalong was dedicated to Luang Pho Chuang and Luang Pho Chaem, two monks who used their herbal medicine skills to heal tin miners who were injured during a 1876 rebellion. A Lord Buddha bone splinter is displayed at the breezy Wat Chalong Grand Pagoda. Another Chalong temple, Wat Mai Luang Pu Supha, is named after Thailand's oldest surviving monk.
Chalong is also filled with peaceful places to enjoy nature like the Phuket Botanic Garden and its neighbouring Phuket Bird Park. The botanic garden includes a rainforest garden, a winter garden, orchid pavilion and rice field display. The Phuket Bird Park features live bird shows three times each day.
Restaurants and BarsSeafood and Thai dishes dominate most Chalong restaurant menus, but Italian, Indian, and Mexican restaurants can also be found within walking distance of Chalong Pier. Some Chalong Pier beach bars close at 22:00 during the June to October low season, but stay open as late as 02:00 during the high season. The Chalong Bay Rum distillery, located north of the pier, gives cocktail workshops and guided tours in multiple languages.
ShoppingThe small Home Pro Village Chalong shopping centre has a bigger variety items for sale than anywhere else in Chalong, whose other shopping options are scuba diving shops, souvenir shop, and an impressive Thai silk shop near Wat Chalong.
