Beach Hotel & Resort, Kamala Beach
This hotel was one of the worst I have ever stayed at! The deluxe
side sea view rooms are disgusting. Our room had an ant infestation
(which covered my son s toothbrush), and smelled so badly. The front
desk staff was extremely unhelpful with resolving any problems (actually
told me I could go buy my son a new toothbrush at the gift shop if
I wanted). They also broke our bag when bringing it to our room, mixed
up our room service meal, and wanted to charge me an extra $50 a night
to upgrade to a different room despite all of these disasters. In
the end, it was Sawadee who came to the rescue by moving our room
and only charging us their upgrade price (about half of what the hotel
charges), even though I thought we should have received some compensation
for our troubles. Once we moved to the bungalows, our experience was
better (no ants, and less smell), but the hotel still is not fantastic.
The pools are not heated, and apparently when it rains in Phuket,
it s rather cold. The foot massage was nice, and the breakfast was
decent, which a fair amount of variety. It cost about $10 each way
to get to Patong, which is where anything is to do. I would definitely
not stay here again, and stay somewhere closer to Patong if I were
to go back. |

Staff were very kind and helpful. I initially booked a single room,
ground floor and when I checked in, I was brought to a 2nd floor room
w/ (2) single beds. I wanted a single bed and was rerouted to the
ground floor. I didn t like the room, so I chose a single bed on the
3rd floor and had to pay more :-( I often heard screaming kids running
down the hallways and making unecessary noise (as it travels far).
The power went out on 2 occassions - one for about an hour at 9pm.
My A/C went out at 3 am one time but it was fixed within 30 minutes.
It went out another time and was fixed quickly. It sits right on the
beach practically, which is nice. The daily included breakfast was
good, pools were nice and all in all, I d recommend it if you don
t want to be in noisy Patong. |

This is a good 3 star resort right on Kamala Beach 10 minutes south
of Patong. The room, pools, in house massage and facilities were excellent
for the price. Food was of a very good standard with the buffet breakfast
comparable with more expensive resorts. For those people wanting a
resort holiday slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Patong
this hotel offers very good value for money. |

very quiet and tranquil hotel. Very beautiful though it is a bit far
from bustling potong. Must expect to spend $$ on taxis. |

We booked 2 beachfront bungalows and were really happy that we had
spent a bit more great view overlooking the beach and not far from
the pool. Breakfast buffet was very nice but staff serving coffee
and tea were slow and indifferent. We had supper the first night prices
okay but service really slow. Tried again later in our stay and after
20 minutes of waiting for our drinks order to be taken we got up and
left and went to eat at one of the little places down the beach. This
was in low season don t know what the service will be like in peak
season. Pools on the small side but as it was low season not a problem.
In general a nice place to stay away from the patong rush, room large
and comfy will go back but not use the restuarant. |

The rooms need to be spruced up now, but are quite adequate and presentable.
We upgraded to the bungalows which were wonderful! Closer to the beach,
great views.The staff were exceptional, although they were only capable
of very basic English, and for my family and I it really was the holiday
of a lifetime!! We are going back as soon as possible! |

We stayed for 3 nights at the Kamala Beach Hotel & Resort and enjoyed
our stay very much, the hotel had a very nice pool with swim up bar
and the rooms were very reasonably priced and always clean. The one
comment i have is that a shuttle bus was run once a night to Patong
& back and the charge was 100 baht each, i feel thaty this could have
been free for guests as with other hotels. Overall a lovely hotel
and would go back. |

We stayed 3 nights at Kamela Beach Hotel. Hotel was exactly as expected.
It is a typical 3 star hotel with decent rooms, beds slightly hard.
Service good, location with pools and close to the beach is perfect.
Excellent family hotel. |

On arrival our room was not available and we were upgraded to a bungalow
style room at no extra cost. The following day we were informed we
could stay in the bungalow for the duration. The staff were very pleasant
and helpful, considering it was a very busy hotel. The room was spotlessly
clean and spacious. The hotel facilities were excellent and we wouldn
t hesitate to return. Thanks to the staff of Kamala Beach. |

We arrived at this hotel very tired and were greeted by extremely
friendly staff who offered drinks and since we arrived during breakfast
- free breakfast. The location is beautiful - right on the beach -
there is not much on the surrounding backstreets, a few restaurants,
however most things you need are right on the beach. From what i saw
the hotel was very clean. As much as we wanted to stay at this hotel
they advised they were full up and asked if we would mind transferring
to there sister hotel - a 4 star resort at Bangtao Beach resort. Bangtao
Beach Resort at first didn t come across as clean as Kamala Beach,
however we did get upgraded to a beachfront room about 10 steps from
the beach. The room was a bit noisy from motorbike alley next door,
and kitchen behind it. Breakfast at both hotels is fantastic, full
american buffet with asian food and fruits as well. The location on
Bangtao was great. Everything for a beach holiday you could want.
Calm clear ocean, many restaurants along the beach and massages for
300-400 baht. Ahhhh |
