Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Paradox Resort Phuket from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Paradox Resort Phuket is often praised for its beautiful setting, described as a lush jungle near Karon beach, easily accessible on foot. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, including bungalow options and villas with plunge pools, alongside amenities like well-functioning air conditioning and a minibar with beverages for purchase. The breakfast buffet stands out with its wide variety of options, though a few guests found the pastries less flavorful, a common trait in Thailand; the hotel also features multiple pools and provides convenient access to both the road and beach for exploring Karon, Kata, and Phuket town.

Wonderful Stay!

kind staffrelaxing massageflexible bedfair price

The staff greeted me kindly every time I walked by. I enjoyed a relaxing massage at the spa. The ladies there are very kind. I recommend the Garden Villa. It features flexible bed options. I booked a trip to Similan Island through the tour guide at reception. The price was fair, though the day was long.

The main pool had a shortage of sunbeds compared to guests which felt a little tight. the lifeguards were helpful there.

This resort is located directly on the beach. It is a perfect spot. A short walk of one minute took me to the beach from the cottage. Restaurants, markets and shops are within a couple minutes walk too.
