Kamala Resorts

Pros: Andara is close to Patong beach, where all the good foods, night market and bars are, but at the same time far enough to be very quiet and serene. We booked the penthouse residence with private pool together with a friend. The room was super big, with a full size kitchen (although we never really used it) and all the utensils necessary if you want to cook. It also comes with a big kitchen table and a huge living room. The porch had a comfortable couch and sitting area, it was a pity that it rained half of the time we were there. The master bedroom has a full size bath with huge bathtub. We also enjoyed the pool upstairs, it was not big, but big enough for the 3 of us to cool off and chill under the occasional sunshine. The room overall is very clean and comfortable which made it hard for us to leave. We ended up spending much of our stay in the resort, by the public pool or just in our residence. The staff was very friendly and helpful in preparing birthday cake as we booked. The Silk restaurant in the resort had some pretty good food. Across from the hotel there are a couple of nice restaurants but if you are into seafood or authentic Thai food, it’s also not far to go to Patong beach, where the Banzaan seafood market is.

Cons: The hot water for the bath tub in the master bedroom ran out very quickly so we couldn’t really fill up the bathtub.

Pros: The location Facilities Cleaness

Cons: The high prices

Pros: Big and beautiful apartments with nice view.

Pros: Layout of everything very comfortable. Everyone very pleasant and helpful. Food is great in room and at Silk.

Cons: Breakfast could do with a little more variety.

Pros: Service from the staff was excellent. The beds are comfy and the breakfast selection was fantastic.

Pros: Staff were so friendly and very helpful. I have never seen such service in all over the world. It was really world class service.. good job and keep it up

Pros: - Very spacious and beautifully decorated rooms. Great layout. - Gym really well equipped + delicious protein drink - Fun and attentive staff - A lot of privacy (at least in September) - Spa and the therapists were marvelous - Restaurant: Fantastic pizza and green curry (not in love with burger and pasta)

Cons: - Breakfast was unfortunately slightly disappointing. Chef and staff were extremely helpful, but food quality and selection were not the highest standard. Still good to eat, but not the most fresh beacon, soggy waffles and pancakes, very basic ham. - Being a bit picky, small hiccups that make it good, but not amazing service: Transport organized by the resort (slightly overcharged, although that's expected) was fine, but driver should really work on handling the acceleration and maintain the car better. The flight was more smooth. + Baggy not waiting for the second luggage. + Towels not ready at the pool. + Slight and temporary stink in the room, from the water drain I suppose

Pros: Large 2 bedroom apartment

Cons: Breakfast not very good the food and eggs station need to be improved

Pros: Every detail was amazing. Can’t pick even a few.

Cons: the infinity pool closed before sunset. Seems like a wasted opportunity for an amazing swimming experience.

Pros: Every thing was amazing

Cons: None

Cons: We stayed at paresa resort from 7.17 to 21 July. On the evening of 7.18, In the Patong we negotiated a tuk tuk for 300 baht and boarded paresa resort. After getting off at the paresa resort we paid 400 baht, including a 100 baht tip to the tuktuk driver, but the tuktuk driver started to lie about saying that 700 baht was the agreed amount. It was not that hard to pay more than 300 Baht, but the article that tried to trick us was scandalous and did not want to pay. There was an argument between us and the driver. The driver told me to return to patong, which was his departure place, if i did not pay more than 300 baht. As everyone knows, tuk tuk drivers have sticky ties and they are associated with the local mafia.(There were also cases of assaulting tourists some time ago.) I thought it would be a great danger if I ran that tuk-tuk, of course I did not board. At that time there was a security guard at the paresa resort that watched all the events beside him, but he was just a spectator (I would rather recommend turning the gate into an automatic gate, which will save you money on labor). He look like he did not want to be involved in troublesome things. My friend asked the hotel night manager neung to call the police to get help. The hotel night manager does not appear infront of the hotel where the incident occurred, He repeatedly said that When the police came I could go to the police station. After a few requests, the police arrived and then the hotel manager came out. He insisted that the average tuk-tuk price from the original patong to the paresa resort, without hearing my word, was 700 baht and that it was the average price for locals. After I looked up the grab and explained that 400 baht was the average price of the grap, After telling the manager to complain his attitude He started work and helped us. I do not feel bad for only 300 Baht money,If we arrived at their hotel, we are having problems and then they have an obligation

Pros: Perfect place for couples and honeymooners . Exotic !

Cons: Good things come at a price and so is this property. Pricey . More so if you are travelling in families than you can look for other options.

Pros: The view was perfect , staff was super friendly and the breakfast was lovely !! Hope we can comeback there one day ^^

Pros: The room, the cleanliness, room service, buggi service, the private pool, the staff are very kind

Cons: There is no free shuttle to Patong beach. Even the paid ones are very limited. Like 2 to Patong and only 1 from Patong and their timings are really uncomfortable, it is 3 pm and 4 pm.

Pros: Best breakfast from any resort I’ve stayed at. Also the linens were the softest I’ve every slept on.

Cons: Everything was beyond better

Pros: The stuff Went above and beyond for us. They even squeezed in a last-minute barbecue on our patio inside of our room for the last night. The dinner was magical. The views are breathtaking. I would definitely recommend the resort to friends or family. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Oh and the best housekeeping I e ever had!

Cons: The food and drinks were a little pricey but most resorts are! Very typical. Everything else was great!

Pros: Every thing! It was perfect :)

Cons: I got very sick (throwing up and diarrhea) after eating one night at the Keemala Resort Restaurant. It was the 4th of July and after ordering the Himalaya Salt tenderloin - which had a prize where sickness afterwards shouldn’t occur. :(

Cons: Forest noise (Cicadas & geckos).

Pros: The staffs amazing, extremely professional, considerate with customer, resourceful. Food is out of this world. Location is beautiful. Rooms were something like I’ve never seen before. We were very content with our stay. I’ll be definitely returning

Cons: Walking up and down to get to the room due to the terrain, but it’s out of control from staff. Maybe they can have drivers ready on the go for arriving and departing customers.

Cons: We were disappointed that we were not able to check in until 3:00 pm.

Pros: The hospitality and facilities are definitely the best in Phuket.

Pros: * Location. * Design. * Facilities. * View. * Privacy of the provided room.

Cons: * The electricity. As it was frequently cutting off and affecting the water and AC. * Room lighting needs to be enhanced.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Only one restaurant ... poor room Service ,,, facilities are bad.. overpriced, tent villa had holes in the tent , bad smell.. overall Bad experience

Pros: Due to a twin hotel on the same campus, there's no children in this hotel. There's a great buffet b'fast, and many other guests seemed to have full board. Many people from Russia and Scandinavia. Two bottles of water provided free daily. Shuttle to Patong and Central Market for less than a taxi or a tuk tuk costs. Endless pools! Great restaurant locations on the beach. Swim up bar with connect four. Strong air con in the room, and free wifi in lobbies.

Cons: Rooms aren't immaculate, mould in the shower, light fittings inadevrtently showing. Towels smell less than fresh. Bathroom lighting a little dark. Some pillows lumpy (but happily provided more)

Pros: breakfast was very good. Hash browns were

Cons: Hotel Taxi service. Far too expensive. Felt ripped off.

Pros: Buffet breakfast selection was excellent. Quiet and very comfortable.

Pros: Excellent and variety

Cons: nothing

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean in the rooms and around the resort. The resort was well designed and had lovely greenery and a great view of the sea from 2 of the pools and the restaurant! Considering that this area is still recovering from the devastation of the tsunami, the resort is excellent, though still needing to modernise. Great breakfast!

Cons: They are working hard to modernise their resort. My mother was disappointed when the activities roster mentioned yoga and she was all ready for it and it was cancelled at the last minute due to only 3 participants. Classes should still run I believe regardless.

Cons: Small portions size in restaurant meals. Chipped cups and saucers Unable to fill personal water bottles

Pros: Staff were fantastic

Cons: Found a cockroach in our room

Pros: Very friendly and co-operative staff. Especially the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager, Dam, needs special mention since he took a lot of trouble to organise a special occasion for us

Cons: The house keeping could have been better

Pros: The pools and cocktails. Breakfast was also good value. The accommodation was clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are slightly dated with a shower in the bath but worked well and very clean. No complaints, staff were always helpful and friendly.

Pros: Location and staff

Cons: The breakfast and food in general

Pros: Location is great

Cons: Breakfast wasn’t good

Pros: The pool was nice

Cons: The furniture was outdated and the hotel looks indeed over 30 years old with no rennovation done... The breakfast is very basic..

Pros: The landscape only

Cons: Bad beach all stones no sand and you cannot swim Staff have bad attitude and not flexible at all and do not care even if u complain

Cons: No hot water in the shower

Pros: Worse experience ever the front desk lost our reservations refused to listen to me speak and shouted over me the whole time “your credit card declined cancelled your room reservations you call Expedia “. Expedia called and the hotel lied told them they found reservation then turned around and charged us more then double the price for the room not beach front as requested either. We had no choice because it was late and raining out plus we were with our 5 children. The location is on the beach but only easily accessible if in a beach front cottage. Tons of mosquitoes and the staff was rude. I think this place is scandalous so stay away.

Cons: They only care about making a buck off you stay away!

Pros: Mia who checked us in was lovely, she was very friendly and told us everything we needed to know. The pool was great and so were the bars & restaurants.

Cons: Some of the light switches in our room didn't work. Also there were so many that is was tricky to figure out which one did which light. Housekeeping didn't turn up until 4pm on our full day at the resort, we had only just got through the door from a day out and we were tired and needed showers, so asked them to wait 10 minutes. They laughed and didn't come back again. That was disappointing.

Pros: We had a wonderful stay. The pool and gardens were real highlights and particularly enjoyed by our two kids (9 and 6yo). The rooms were spacious and we had a huge balcony with ocean views, which was lovely. Beds and linen both tops and restaurants were also good quality. We would book again. Getting out into Phuket took a bit of effort - reliant on taxis - but there is a free minibus into Patong several times a day. We would definitely go back!!!

Pros: We went to Thailand for my birthday and we choose this hotel because it's very quiet and beautiful. The hotel grounds are well kept, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. One of the house keeping lady's that I forget her name she was very nice and even teach us some very basic Thai words. At the frond desk they all nice but are favored are Sinead i think that her name and Pond they are very professional, helpful, friendly, always going that extra mile. We love this hotel so much and his employees and of course Thailand that we probably going back in April or May of next year but this time we bringing friends because now they all want to go back whit us.

Cons: Mosquitos

Cons: My booking includes the spa package When I wanted to pay my bill they said that I have to pay for the package Fortunately I remembered that I paid it in advance so they just cancelled it.

Pros: only location

Cons: bad clean bad beach full of insects

Pros: The paradise near from town… The Beach is one of the greatest of Phuket… really beautiful with only guests of the Thavorn ! Also, the lagoon is very perfect, like a real lagoon Inside the hotel.

Pros: There food was delicious if you order it early

Cons: Hotel is unsafe not clean and the staff is not friendly the hotel is far away from everything and they cannot provide transportation at most of the time also the resturant close at 9:00 and they didn't help to order food or to transport to another location the swimming pool is very dangerous and this hotel is not safe for kids the hotel is full of bugs and lizard and mosquito you will find them everywhere kitchen bedroom and living room. I spoke to management but they did not care about my comments also I give them comment regarding the cleaners also they did not pay attention never never never replaceu the soap or tooth brush for your whole stay. strongly I do not recommend this to anyone and I will never come back there

Pros: Pool villa is amazing Food and breakfast by the pool is amazing Spa treatments are reasonable cost and nice Netflix is free to use

Cons: Location is a big draw back with no place to go nearby. Kamala beach which is about 15 min from property lacks serious basic facilities. To go to patong area costs around 500 baht one way. Property is short of staff and does not respond to requests sometimes.

Pros: Quite place.. And spacious
