Seaview Apartments – Karon Beach

Seaview Apartments – Karon Beach Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Seaview Apartments – Karon Beach, I wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a fairly understated building. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t need to shout about how great they are. This four-star spot absolutely nailed that balance between comfort and authenticity that’s honestly pretty rare in Phuket these days.

The thing that really got me was how they’ve managed to keep that relaxed, residential vibe while still giving you proper hotel-level service. I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from Karon Beach – and I’m talking about the good part, not the crowded northern end where all the tour groups congregate. You can actually hear the waves from some of the apartments, which sounds cheesy but trust me, it’s one of those details that makes a huge difference when you’re trying to fall asleep after a long day exploring. The apartments themselves are spacious in a way that makes you realize how cramped most hotel rooms actually are. Full kitchens, decent-sized balconies, and honestly some of the most comfortable beds I’ve encountered in Thailand (and I’ve stayed in a lot of places here).

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to actually care about making your stay work for you, rather than just going through the motions. The woman at reception – I think her name was Nim – gave me specific recommendations for avoiding the crowds at Big Buddha and knew exactly which songthaew route would get me to Patong without the usual tourist markup. Those are the kinds of insights you just don’t get at the big chain hotels. The location is pretty perfect too, honestly. You’re far enough from the Patong chaos to actually relax, but close enough that a quick tuk-tuk ride gets you there when you want some nightlife action. Plus, there’s this little family-run restaurant called Krua Karon just around the corner that serves absolutely incredible green curry – the kind of place you’d never find without a local tip. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty during peak evening hours when everyone’s uploading their beach photos, but honestly, that might not be the worst thing for a proper vacation. With a 9.5 rating, this place clearly knows what it’s doing, and after spending a week there, I totally get why people keep coming back.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Phuket through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best beaches for experiencing the island’s tropical atmosphere and rich cultural heritage.

  It’s a great accommodation with a lot of facilities! The host Gary was very friendly and helpful. It’s a bit further away from the markets, but the beach is a short 10-15 minutes walk.

• Viliam from United Kingdom (10/10)

  This was an amazing apartment. Host, Gary is a very cool guy, helpful, responsive and solution seeking! We had no problems with the communication. The flat is very clean, 2ACs, balcony with an amazing view at the sunset and the sea. Well it is on the steep hill as many point out, but, it is possible to walk up and down. Of course depend on your health and possibilities, but there are steps as well which makes it a bit easier. There is also a garage, where you can park the car or a scooter. We used a car and it was very convenient. Taxi drivers are willing to take you up the hill as well, so I am not sure about comments telling differently. I guess that depend on what kind of person you are, and what kind of person is the taxi driver, but we had no problems during our stay, till we get the car.
  
  The bed is great, very firm, and I like that. There is a safe and lots and lots of space to place your stuff. Without AC it can get a bit hot during the night, but that again depend on the preferences (we had it turned off).
  
  The shower is quite huge, two – three people get there without any problems. As for the kitchen, all the utilities are there, except some tea or salt and pepper if someone needs, but just down the hill there is a German bakery where you can have a very cheap breakfast (Danish and a coffee).
  
  TV with Netflix and Youtube – very convenient for the evening chill.
  
  Overall the whole area is quiet and even the main road with tourist attractions is quite cozy. Unlike Patong. (but again, preferences..)
  
  The pool is very cool as well, quite deep + huuuuge jacuzzi.. great view. We spent there couple days as well, just chilling under the sun. I recommend go there!
  
  Karon beach itself is very cool and not so crowded! We liked very much Kata Noi as well. The others were more less OK, but these two were our favourites.

• Vitalii from Armenia (8/10)

  Very supportive owner, good pool, big apartments with all kitchen utensils for cooking.

• Clara from Austria (10/10)

  The view, the size of our Appartement, very friendly house keeping.
  
  You need to know that you have to pay extra for electricity (but it is written on booking.com). if you dont use ac the whole day (because you are gone anyway) it should Not Cost more Than 100 bhat per day. We payed 410 bhat for 7 Nights and we were using the ac every Night

• Mario from Australia (10/10)

  One of the best places to stay. Highly recommended, clean and tidy with breath taking views. Gary the host is excellent best host you can get. I would definitely stay here again.

• Bruce from New Zealand (10/10)

  Gary as a host was exceptional. Met us at the apartment, got us settled quickly. Pool and area was well kept. Loved the accessibility to Karon beach. Minor issue with the air conditioning on night 1 but Gary was onto that quick as and sorted that out ASAP.

• Lissa from Japan (10/10)
