Description

Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort, formerly Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort, is a large five-star resort built in 1987 and renovated in 2004, offering 665 rooms across several wings including Andaman, Saitong, and Lotus. The resort spans 303,500 m² featuring extensive grounds with three outdoor pools, freshwater lagoons, tennis and squash courts, and a well-equipped fitness center. You’ll find three restaurants and five bars on-site, along with a spa and beauty center, business facilities including 14 conference rooms for up to 1200 guests, and a children’s area with a playground and pool. The rooms vary from Superior to Presidential Suites, with options for garden or sea views. The resort is well-suited for families, couples, and business travelers, combining recreational facilities with meeting spaces. Practical services include 24-hour reception, express check-in, laundry, and Wi-Fi access (paid in the lobby).

Located in the heart of Karon Bay, the resort sits just 40 meters across the road from the public sandy Karon Beach. It is 30 km from Phuket International Airport and 11 km from Patong’s center, offering a quieter alternative while still close enough to popular attractions. The hotel grounds include lush tropical gardens and are close to local shops and eateries, though some reviews note it’s about a 10-minute walk to the nearest 7-Eleven and restaurants. Crossing to the beach is facilitated by a guarded crossing for safety. The location balances beach access with a spacious resort environment.

Massive resort with a heap of swimming pools and large grounds in a great position to the beach and many close eateries and shops.
We had two rooms. Managed an upgrade (without requesting one), due to plumbing issues in our room. Nice that this was Forth coming without a request. The room upgrade in A Tower was far superior with a more contemporary room than the other which was dated and a long way from the breakfast restaurant.
Staff were all nice, but being a big resort it lacks the soul of our earlier accommodation. At first we didn't like it, but over 6 nights the accommodation and it's position grew on us and we really enjoyed our stay.
The highlight for me was pools aplenty! Big pools in many locations and some with excellent shade. Good waiter service by the pool throughout the day with reasonable prices.

Check-in for single rooms was incredibly slow. This hotel had the most Chinese guests I've seen. The environment was lovely, but a 'sea view room' with an obstructed view isn't really a sea view, so I'm glad they changed it for me. At breakfast, the table I was assigned was already taken. I'm not sure who got there first, but they didn't try to sort it out for me, just told me to find another table. That's about all I remember.

The service, location and facility is very good . They have pickleball court but don’t understand why close at 6pm. The breakfast was quite bad limited range of food omelette of the day was delicious but other than that it’s not that good. For example i can’t find salmon or other protein to eat.
08.04.2026 Guest
This is a fantastic hotel! The staff, facilities, and service were all excellent. The food, pool, and kids' play areas all deserve 5 stars. It's also close to the beach.

Now for a few negatives:

Our check-in was quite unpleasant. We had changed the guest name mid-booking and notified the hotel via Ctrip, but there was a communication breakdown between the hotel and Ctrip, leading to us not being able to check in. This left me and my family extremely frustrated, especially in the middle of the day. I even had to make several long-distance calls to sort it out. However, the Ctrip staff resolved it promptly, so kudos to them!

The hotel isn't very close to a 7-Eleven or restaurants; it usually takes about a 10-minute walk.

The two complimentary bottles of water provided by the hotel weren't great; you could tell they had a high calcium content.

A genuinely great stay, no regrets, offering excellent value and a fantastic experience. The check-in experience was wonderful; the room was clean and tidy, and the environment was quiet and pleasant. Both the pool and garden views were lovely. It's within walking distance to the beach, making it very convenient for getting around. The service was warm and attentive, with quick responses, and the overall management was well-organized. Compared to some negative reviews online, I personally think this place is absolutely worth recommending—a perfect choice for a Phuket vacation, you can book with confidence.

Booked for two nights, the breakfast was on par with a 300 RMB domestic budget hotel, only serving the small area shown in the photos. There was construction going on right when we checked in, which was incredibly noisy. Besides the back entrance being close to the beach, there are no other positives. The hotel is huge, but lacks shows or services, and you need a shuttle to get anywhere. Book with caution.

The location is perfect for a beach holiday. You just need to cross the road to get to the Karon beach, near the hotel there are Karon village to walk and to feel real Thailand. The hotel is very big itself, has amazing spa and gym, several pools. The restaurant Thai Thai was the most delicious food we have tried in Phuket, so sorry that there are not quite a lot of customers, the food is fantastic and not crazy expensive. Also a very cute and truly very kind that hotel has peacocks, chickens, cats and they all just live in the hotel.

Overall, a great stay and a reliable choice for a Phuket vacation. The hotel environment is lovely, with lush and comfortable tropical gardens. The common areas are clean and well-designed, making for great photo opportunities. The room was spacious and tidy, with expansive sea views. However, the soundproofing and cleanliness could be improved slightly, as there were yellow stains on the bed.

The service staff were polite and friendly. Check-in was a bit slow, but any issues were addressed promptly, which was reassuring. There's a wide variety of dining options, and the food tastes good. Breakfast offers a rich selection, catering to different preferences.

The pool and beach experience were a big plus. The seaside atmosphere is very relaxing, perfect for a laid-back vacation. The location is also quite convenient, making it easy to get around and explore.

The only minor drawback is that some facilities require a short wait during peak hours, but overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives. It offers good value for money and is recommended for those looking for a quiet, comfortable getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pullman in Karon. It’s the perfect place to relax, especially if you are traveling as a couple 💙

The hotel has several swimming pools, which makes it very easy to find a quiet spot to enjoy the day 🌊🏝️ There are also many dining options inside the resort, so you can try different types of food without leaving the hotel.

One of the highlights of our stay was the spa experience 🧖♀️✨ They offer special packages for couples, and the massage was absolutely spectacular. It was one of the most relaxing moments of our trip.

The breakfast was quite good with many options, although I personally expected a little more variety. Still, everything we tried was fresh and tasty 🍳🥐

Overall, it’s a great hotel if you want a peaceful and comfortable place to rest while visiting Phuket. Highly recommended for couples looking to relax 🌅

The environment outside the room is quite beautiful, and the location is excellent, super close to Karon Beach – just a small gate away. The cleanliness is decent, but the duvet in the room felt a bit too damp, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. As for service, you can take a shuttle to the main gate. On the night we arrived with a midnight flight, the hotel also had a car available, so their 24-hour service was pretty good.
