Delicious Breakfast Variety

I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast options at Karona Resort & Spa. Every morning, the buffet was filled with fresh baked goods, eggs made to order, and a selection of tropical fruits. I felt satisfied every day and ready to explore the island!

Fantastic Pool Experience

The pool area was my favorite spot at the resort. The main swimming pool was well-maintained, and I loved unwinding in the jacuzzi after a long day of exploring. The surrounding tropical gardens added a beautiful touch, making it a lovely place to relax.

I was delighted to find that my room had a flat-screen TV with a Russian channel available, which felt like a nice touch for me during my stay. After a day of activities, it was nice to unwind while catching up on my favorite shows.
