Destination Resorts Phuket Karon Beach

Overview

We could practically get lost in the pools at this place, and we wouldn't even be mad about it. Tropical climate to bathe in and cocktails within walking distance? Sounds like paradise to us. If you want our advice, get chatting to the bar tender and you'll be guaranteed 10/10 cocktails day in, day out - maybe even with a bit of extra pizzazz. And if you're travelling with the tots, you'll be chuffed to know there's plenty to keep them busy - from face-painting to candle-making, and while they're having their own fun, there's a fully decked-out spa just waiting to give you the ultimate pamper. That's what we call a crowd-pleaser.
