Our 6 night stay at the Pacific Club Resort was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The hotel is set back from the hustle and bustle of Karon, overlooking a most beautiful unspoilt hillside expanse of natural forest reserve (that being reserve is protected so will never be built on, thankfully!) The hotel is a peaceful haven, with the most beautiful rooftop pool, and various quiet spaces located around the property where one can enjoy the tranquil setting. Breakfast was superb, with a wide variety of delicious local (a must!) and western foods, fresh fruits, freshly baked pastries, etc. and we enjoyed eating ours on the patio outside overlooking the hillside forest.
The staff were really helpful, and the owner Mr Sun makes a personal effort to meet and chat to his guests at breakfast - a personal touch that few hotels do.
We didn't make use of the spa but we did use the hotel gym, which was good.
We highly recommend this hidden gem, it's absolutely excellent and we'll definitely be back next year.
