Pros:
- Reception staff were nice and welcoming.
- Close proximity to the beach.
- Blackout curtains were good.
Cons:
- Although there has seemingly been a recent makeover you can tell that the facilities are run down, particularly noticeable on staircases.
- The whole corridor we were staying in smelled damp and foisty. This extended into our room.
- Linen and towels were consistently stained despite changes.
- Housekeeping didn’t top up water/teabags several times. They also removed toilet paper from the bathroom once, leaving us with none.

Rooms where spacious and clean, good air conditioner. However the hallways and elevators etc were not clean at all. Also lots of mosquitos in our room when we first checked in. Breakfast was very good, however a bit expensive. Be careful when you book this hotel through expedia, because there are 4 different sugar marina’s in this area and this one has the wrong address writing..

If you're on a budget this place is ok. It's a bit dated, my room smelled really bad like mould. It was relatively clean. Internet wasn't the best. Pillows were pretty good. Air Con with remote was good. Personally I would rather stay at a more cleaner and modern place and won't stay here again.

Hotel was pretty average.. But clean.
Breakfast staff, seemed very unhappy.
Normally Thai people are so lovely, the girls working in the restaurant didn't even greet us each day. The waiting staff need to improve.

We were disappointed in our choice to stay here. There are two long pools at this hotel, which we were excited to use. The pools themselves were not kept clean. There was a a garbage bag floating in it all day the last day we were there and it needed daily cleaning of leaves and such. The pool deck tile was filthy. I never saw anyone washing it off. Old bandaids, spills and dirt stuck to it. The stair well was only cleaned once when we were there for 6 days. A huge hair ball sat on the steps until the last day it was finally gone. Spills and dirt on them as well. The room linens were clean, but furniture and wood door and trim definitely tired. The floors were not swept at cleaning so sand and grit on them. Mold in the grout in the shower. I asked maid to bleach it, but it never happened. My sons room had centipedes and earwigs. The room cleaning was hit and miss. You can hear everything said in people’s rooms as you walk by. Very flimsy doors. I liked the big sliding door that led right out to the pool from our room. The breakfast was a big variety, but not to my liking. I asked the egg cook if I could have two eggs over medium and she grudgingly cooked them. There was a plate of sunny side up ones she kept trying to get me to take. The rest of the restaurant staff were friendly though. The front desk staff was polite but not memorable. Nothing out of their way. There is only one elevator in main building.

The hotel was very comfortable and clean. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Room service was delicious, pool was great for families, and it's very close to the beach.
3.0 / 10.0
The room was ok, they need just need to put more than 1 roll of toilet paper in rooms. Having no restaurant to go to at night was a bumber as you don't always feel like walking the streets. Apart from that they were good.

Close to the beach and shopping street! Plenty of eatery’s. Breakfast was good plenty of variety.

Pros: location was good. Surrounded with many shops. And its walking distance to karon beach. Big clean room. Neat and tidy. WiFi is strong. But it will sometimes logged off by itself. Love the concept of the hotel.. Very artsy fartsy! Cons: The bed feels like twin bed combined into one. Pillow too soft for me. its noisy with loud bands nearby the hotel during night time. You can hear it especially if your room is near the roadside. Room door is a little too thin. Can hear noises outside your door. Its sad that my room doesnt have view. Its facing another rooms. Balcony in my room is not wide as compared to the one opposite. It has table and chairs and clothes rack at their balcony. Aircon sometimes inconsistent. The downside is the hotel is a smoke free property. They have designated smoking area near the lobby.Overall its a good stay! I feel safe around the area. Probably would come back to stay. Because its so convenient.

Great location right next to beach and shopping. Older hotel but the rooms are done up nicely. Only annoyance was the very small bathroom (little room for bathroom stuff). In the end had to keep most outside bathroom.
Pool was ok - not really good or good location. Reflected age of facilities.
Breakfast was the high point. Very nice with lots of choice. Service was good as well.

loved how close it was to everything there was to do in Karon .Price was great . Included breakfast was all we could want ,with great variety ,made for a great start to the day.,only small note is to maybe have some kind of heating to keep the fried eggs & omelettes warm. Family of 5 siblings using 2 rooms ,were put together as requested ,had no problems with either rooms.

Room was not ready when we checked in on time. Hotel Staff ask to wait because they claim of their own busy on that day.
We recommend staff must do better than this.
Swimming pool is not big like we see in pic and many children playing there.

Good location but hotel staffs were hostile and only interested to talk to you warn about money.

great service - service staff very helpful and pleasant, made our stay very comfortable.
hotel was superbly located, just a 2 min walk to the beach.
tastefully designed; welcome ice cream served upon check in; free beverages refilled everyday in your room's mini-fridge; picnic mats and beach towels provided in rooms;
no shortage of amenities and restaurants in the vicinity. would recommend this restaurant called "Spice House" for air-conditioned indoor seating, good food and service.
overall a great experience at sugar marina hotel

The two good things about this hotel are: location to the beach (literally 2 minutes walk) AND location to shops, food, etc. There also was free drinks on the first to nights, but none on the third. The third night my room was not also cleaned. Other than that I WOULDN'T stay here again. We didn't get a pool room (bad choice) so we were in back by the air conditioner or something that made NOISE all night long. The bathroom was nice, however the TUB was dirty, so it was not used. The pool was beautiful as well and my son enjoyed the kids slide and pool as well as the small park area.
Customer Service is not great, as I asked for a late checkout because I was doing an all day tour and I was told my room was booked and the hotel was full. I then proceeded to book another day through expedia.com and was told if I did so I'd have to be moved to another room. So i spent all night packing despite having to be ready at 6 am for the tour. Got back around 330p and was put in THE SAME room to take a shower. Several other customers also had issues (no wifi, etc.) and I hope they too write a review. I didn't use WIFI because i brought a THAI SIM. Anyways I wont be staying here again. Oh and the overpriced breakfast is not great at all. I ate at the local shops the next two days.
