It's a very hot country, and even though the air conditioner broke down, I couldn't contact them, had to pay my own money to sleep in a different hotel for a night, had to pay the electricity bill separately, and even though I changed rooms, the air conditioner didn't work properly! Especially the person working in the office was so unfriendly!! I don't want to go again, and I recommend going to another friendly hotel! Everything is so messed up!!
beautiful and comfortable place to stay but very steep climb up

We booked "superior two bedroom with sea view sq m 125, but we got "one level lower" two bedrooms apartment sea view without terrace. I received this suite after discussion with the responsible manager. The Karon Butterfly propose us absolutely not correspond to the description room at the beginning. The infrastructure services catered to our expectations.
The place looked great and the staff was very nice. Room service doesn't take long and the pool side had an alright view. The residence is up a steep hill, which made it a bit tough to climb if you're not used to it, but they had a shuttle bus to bring you up or down if needed. Shuttle also brings you to the nearby beach if needed.
The Karon Butterfly Residence is located just about a 15 minute walk to the beach and the price and size of rooms makes it great for a family on vacation. All the staff was helpful from check in and booking all our family tours.
It's a apartment style hotel, not very near to the beach but certainly not far. They also run a shuttle during the day and until midnight so it's not s problem if you are not good with walking. We enjoyed area and the hotel itself as well.staff super friendly and helpful. Also quite near to Patong if you like to go for a party and then relax afterwards.
Overall, we loved our stay here. The room was very modern, clean, comfortable and large with full kitchen and living space. Wifi was strong and available everywhere. Air conditioning was also very strong. Pool area was great with nice lounge chairs and beautiful view of sunset over the beach. Restaurant was also quite good and similar pricing to food by the beach.
Note that this property is up a hill. There is an hourly shuttle to and from the beach but make sure to check where it picks up by the beach (we weren't sure about the exact location - just happened to flag it down). Can make it a bit hard to run out to buy water or get food with the hill.
One thing we didn't like was the extra charge. At check-in, you're required to pay an extra fee for electricity and cleaning. I totally understand that hotels need to pay for these things, but I wish it was included in the per night rate and not an add-on when you arrive. It ended up being about $20 CAD per night, which also seemed excessive. And cleaning only occurs every 3 days, so odd that it's an extra fee. A note says that extra toiletries and toilet paper can be purchased between cleanings - don't think these should be paid for. And when our room did get cleaned, they threw out our partially used TP roll and toiletries. We also had two staff members come in on our last day and look around our room, but didn't tell us why. We were very uncomfortable with the visit.
We loved our stay here, the room was so modern and clean with A* air conditioning and everything we needed to make the odd meal.
There was plenty of space by the pool and all the staff were so helpful and really friendly.
The hotel is really close to the beach and masses of shops and restaurants all within a few minutes walk. We found that the 24hr supermarket closest to the hotel was the best one in the area for supplies.
The ONLY downside was the very steep hill going up to the hotel, cars and mopeds could go up and down but none of the mini buses for our trip could make it up there. It was quite a tough walk in the heat and we tried to avoid making too many trips back and forth to the hotel during the day or evening becuase of the hill.
There is a shuttle bus service that was operating but we didnt use it as we were never there at the right time which was of course our own fault!
Since the start everything was made very easy by the helpful staff: clear arrival info, smooth check in, nice recommendations on beaches and restaurants during our stay and easy check out with transportation back to the airport on time!
Perfect location to get around Phuket. We were chilling in the pool and taking advantage of the great restaurant in the residence or walking down to Karon beach or exploring the night life of the island. Karon Butterfly is the perfect place to stay.
Thanks guys! See you next year!
Great place to stay in Phuket. My holiday was made very comfortable by the friendly staff.
The room was very clean, awesome atmosphere, great time relaxing at the pool and hitting the gym in the morning. The best beach is walking distance and the shuttle service provided by the hotel is great to get back. The area is full of anything you need from day to night time life.
Can surly recommend it!
Very nice facility, overall. A few minor maintenance concerns, but nothing to worry about. Rooms are spacious. Only drawback is the very steep hill to get to the property. Even the tuk tuk drivers charge an extra 100 baht to go up the hill!
Pool is great. Walk to Karon beach about 15 to 20 minutes. Kata beach much the same, but take advantage of the free shuttle to avoid the hill.
There is a small restaurant on site and many other choices within a 5 minute walk. Chef Nut's restaurant is at the bottom of the hill is great value and very tasty. We ate only Thai food but most places also have Western food.
You can flag down a songthaew (bus) as it passes the property (40 baht) if you are looking for more shopping in Phuket town. The main mall being Phuket Central or our Thailand "go to" Big C.
Overall, a nice place to stay. Great pool. Very quiet even though it's close to a busy road. Staff are friendly. Nice design and well maintained. If you need shops then you have a few choices as well as 24 hour convenience stores nearby.
This is a condo style facility with limited house keeping. If you are looking for more independence from your accommodation, then the Karon Butterfly won't disappoint. Great for families.
