Central Waterfront Resort, a chic vacation experience!

When I came to Karon District in Phuket, I chose Central Waterfront Resort. The address is 224/21 Karon Road, and it’s really convenient to get here, with the Thai vibe hitting you right away. 🏖️ The hotel is super close to the beach, just a two-minute walk. There are many restaurants around, whether you want to try local cuisine or find a convenience store for small needs, there are plenty of options! Also, the bus stop is right at the hotel entrance, making trips to Patong or the airport very smooth. 🚍 This hotel has an excellent location; stepping outside you can feel the sea breeze. Although the facilities are a bit old, the rooms are really spacious, so there’s no need to worry about space. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant, so going out to explore local food is also a big pleasure. 🚶🏽‍♀️ The hotel’s decor isn’t trendy but has a vintage charm that brings nostalgia. The staff at reception are super friendly, English communication is no problem, and sometimes I just make do with a translator app haha. The room is well-equipped, though some minor inconveniences exist, like the air conditioner being a bit noisy, but I adapted quickly. The room’s soundproofing is decent, especially with earplugs, the white noise from the bar street’s music is less disturbing. 🍹 The room has 4 balconies! The sea view window and bathtub are irresistible. The room is cleaned daily, and I was pleasantly surprised to find milk and juice in the fridge! The kitchen is also well-equipped, making my first time cooking breakfast by myself a great experience. Oh, and the pool water is especially clean; sometimes it feels like I’m the only one using the whole pool, which is really relaxing. 🏊🏻‍♂️ There are many fun attractions nearby, with the Big Buddha of Phuket and a Thai cooking class on the list! If you get tired, you can also relax at Sunshine Massage. Dining options are quite rich, with restaurants like Dinner In The Sky already making your heart race. Of course, there’s also Cape Rock Cuisine, offering a very local dining experience—eating here is simply a pleasure. 🍜🍹 Of course, bringing earplugs is very necessary; the bar street next to the hotel is indeed a bit noisy, but I adapted pretty well. The indoor WiFi is sometimes unstable, so I usually use my own data, but since it’s a vacation, such small issues aren’t a big deal. Overall, this stay experience made me very satisfied! I will definitely choose this place again in the future. I just hope to see some renovations next time I come—that would be even better! 🛠️
