A real Karon Beach gem, Andaman Seaview's bright and airy public spaces are decorated in (Sino-Portuguese-inspired) hues of pale blue and white, flanked by ponds and a large central courtyard with a garden and meandering pool. Rooms overlook the pool area and are large and nicely appointed -- they're better than most in this category. The hotel is charming in a way that is less about luxury, and more about the warm welcome and tidy appearance of the place. As a result, it pulls in a friendly crowd. The restaurant is a typical hotel coffee shop, but the poolside seats make for a great dining experience. In fact, I recommend taking as much advantage of the nearby beach as possible, including hitting up the waterside small spa.
