The hotel is very conveniently located in the middle of the length of Karon Beach.
The beach is across the street from the hotel, from the central building of the hotel to the sea is a 6-8-minute walk, including the hotel grounds.
The beach is sandy, public, sun beds and an umbrella can be rented for 200 baht. They are available all over the beach. Beach towels are provided on site near the main pool.
Unlike Kata Karon beach, it is less densely populated. But as far as I understand, there is a strong current on Karon, the sea is much more agitated and is considered unsafe during the rainy season, while on Katya it is more serene. Despite this, I liked Caron better overall. The disadvantage of the beach is the lack of toilets and showers, there are single toilets in some places, and across the street - in some restaurants, or paid at markets, or you have to go to the hotel. In particular, the Paradox has restrooms directly in the Mint restaurant on the ground floor, as well as on the second floor in the same building.
There are shops and restaurants nearby, there are many of them in the area, and due to the geographical location of the hotel, it is convenient to walk from it towards Kata beach or in the opposite direction to the road ring and from there deeper into Pathak Road, and there are many similar locations for every taste and budget.
There are also two restaurants on site: in the main building - Pacifica and closer to the beach - Mint. Pacifica is open until 23, and breakfast is served there. Mint is more refined, it works from 12 to 24, there is live music in the evenings; the guys sing very pleasantly in different languages, including Russian. The menu is not very extensive, but the food is delicious. The prices in both restaurants are quite high for the local scale.
The breakfasts are good. Eggs in various variations, cheese, sausages, bacon, sausages, vegetables, herbs, fruits and freshly squeezed juices (there is a special bar for them), porridge, confectionery and pastries, soup and second courses, local cuisine is also served. Everything is delicious, and you can choose a breakfast for every taste. Yes, it may not be very diverse, but this assortment was enough for us for two weeks (taking into account our certain restrictions and dietary preferences, which significantly narrow this range). Tea and coffee are brought by the waiters, when ordering you need to specify - Americano, cappuccino, etc.machine-brewed - then coffee will be served from the coffee machine, if you do not specify, then by default the concentrate is tasteless.
The territory of the hotel is quite large, well-groomed, surrounded by greenery.
There is even a photo studio on site that uses these beautiful views as a photo zone. Well, the eye really enjoys this tropical beauty.
There are two entrances to the territory from the beach: near the Mint restaurant, and at the other end there is a door with an electronic key that opens with a room card.
There are many Russians and Chinese, Italians, as well as representatives of other countries among the guests of the hotel.
There is a spa on site. The massage is excellent, I strongly recommend it. I've been to different artists - Daria, Sonia, Mimi and others, I really liked them all. And the administrator Leen is all charm and sincerity!
The hotel has a children's room.
The service is excellent. In the Paradox, the entire staff has a very welcoming attitude towards guests, everyone is so friendly and attentive, it makes you feel very comfortable. The waiters at breakfast just fly from guest to guest. All issues are promptly resolved. The hotel has a phone app where guests are registered upon check-in, and any issues that arise can be resolved through it. There was an illustrative case when the electricity was turned off one night and until the morning, but despite this circumstance, in the morning everything was ready for the guests - breakfast, washed and dried beach towels; I can imagine what efforts it cost the staff.
We took the jeans to the laundry - so in addition to washing and impeccable ironing, they also had a broken zipper fixed (it seems to me that jeans have not been in such perfect condition since the purchase))).
Guests who have already vacated the room are given the opportunity to take a shower, but they only need to book in advance.
We lived in a Superior room, in the main building on the 3rd floor. The room is spacious, comfortable, with a fresh modern interior, with a magnificent view of the sea. Very comfortable mattresses and pillows. The room has a small refrigerator without filling, a mini safe, an ironing board and iron, a tea station, an umbrella, a flashlight. As well as bathrobes, flip-flops (instead of the usual slippers), all kinds of hygiene items that are replenished. The only drawback is that there are very few hangers in the closet. And then, I was just too lazy to ask them to add them.
Two bottles of drinking water are left daily, with a comment that they should not be taken out of the room.
In general, no matter what you touch, everything is fine, everything is with care for the guest. We didn't regret choosing this hotel for a minute. Thank you to Paradox for a wonderful vacation! I didn't want to leave, but I'd love to come back here!
We had a rest at Paradox Resort Phuket — and it was just wow!
Very beautiful, well-maintained territory, everything is surrounded by greenery and privacy is felt, despite the scale of the hotel. The room is spacious, stylish, and the cleanliness is excellent. Cleaning is daily, the staff is polite and unobtrusive.
The breakfasts are great: a large selection, everything is fresh, special thanks for the tropical fruits and Thai cuisine. The pool is clean, cozy, and there are plenty of sun beds around. The beach is a 2—minute walk away, access to the sea is comfortable.
What I particularly liked was the attention to detail and the calm atmosphere. A real place to reboot!
We will definitely come back again. Thanks to the Paradox Resort team for the perfect vacation
It's a wonderful place. The hotel is just great. The huge territory is well-groomed and lively - on the way to the sea, squirrels and very pleasant birdsong accompany. We lived in the central building. The room is great, everything is very comfortable, clean and cozy. The staff is very attentive and friendly, they will always help if necessary. The breakfasts are excellent, for every taste. A very pleasant impression from the rest. Thanks to all the staff.
