Kamala hotels near Tsunami Memorial

Pros: I had the pool suite which was spacious and well equipped. Amazing view Good food in hotel restaurant.

Cons: Room was not clean on arrival and floors were sticky. I requested for alcohol to be removed from the room and staff simply choose to hide it in the kitchen cabinet (very unprofessional). On checkout the front desk staff was very pushy and eager for us to leave the room although it was 2 hours before chekout time at noon. I found that very rude especially that we got our room 1 hour late on check in.

The garden around the hotel is wow, everything is perfect, No hasstle basstle at breakfast, you can order whatever you want without que, the food comes to your table.

Cons: With the high price at least mini bar should be complimentary

Pros: Very nice room and the view fantastic And about the stuff every time smile and lovely

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: Peaceful, secluded but within reach of busier areas if necessary

Cons: Lots of steps and the bar was average

Pros: The space of the villa and the pool The outdoor shower The fully equipped kitchen The magnificient view

Cons: The living room of villa 131 and similar villas was exposed to the staircase leading to lower rooms, and anyone going down like tenants or room service can see us. Didn't feel that private.

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

Pros: Every thing! It was perfect :)

Pros: The hosts were amazing and welcoming. Celebrated our first Thailand New Year and it was the best place to be!

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff. Central location & close to the beach. Nice room with however only a view to the neighbour building. Complementary strand towel & beach umbrella.

Pros: Great staff, very nice and helpful!!

Pros: This is my second time to live here. Great staff always willing to help; the location is great, just opposite to the Kamala beach.

Cons: We lived two rooms there. One of the rooms' soundproofing is not good, we could hear people's voice next door (or it's fro another opposite villa). One of the rooms' water is quite cold and hard to make it warm.

Pros: Very close to the beach (very nice beach to swim) and they provide beach towels every day. Friendly staff. Good restaurant options closeby.

Cons: When we arrived the bed sheets weren't clean but when we pointed it out to the staff they changed them right away. No shower curtain or separation from the rest of the bathroom (but that was clear from the pictures in advance).

Pros: Everything

Cons: Noise from the swimming pool opposite

Pros: This is our the sixth time at Sunwing Kamala. It's a great place to stay when you have kids. Facilities are really great (swimming pool, fitness center, kids playground...). Large breakfast buffet, good food and kids under 12 yo can enjoy buffet for free for dinner.

Cons: Activities for kids and adults are always the same...

Pros: Pools were really nice

Cons: Food quality was so so and rooms could do with a refurbishment

Pros: Location, staff very friendly and facilities with everything to relax

Cons: More options in restaurants and live cooking station for breakfast, even though the options they hace were nice

Pros: perfect place if you travel with an big Family or just with some kids, just choose one of the Family room closed to one of the several pools.

Pros: One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in great location and big rooms staff were great and kids club spot on gym was brilliant to.

Cons: Nothing can’t fault this hotel

Pros: Nice family and children oriented hotel with all required handy stuff (baby pot, stroller, baby cot, bouncer, microwave, proper size fridge etc) available for you in the room.

Pros: Pool and the kids activities are great

Cons: The room is really old! The toilet and the bathing room are stinky even we have requested to fix it several time. The water pressures is really weak. The room doesn’t have enough light in the room plus the bathroom and we found numbers of dead bugs on the floor.

Pros: View from room was amazing from the pool. They tried to upgrade us to a bigger sweet but there was no view from it so we sticked to our ocean view room.

Cons: The breakfast was not as expected, should’ve been way better. Found some ants on the coffee table.

Pros: The staff was friendly

Cons: The place is abit old. The shower hot water was not strong and only run for awhile. The location is abit far from the main area but luckily we were driving. The breakfast was very average.. overall I would expect more for the price I paid.

Pros: Liked nothing at all .you need transport to go to the beach. Breakfast was the same stale for three days. , absolute disaster , absolutely no value for money would not recommend anybody to stay there the most useless place I have stAyed as a five star hotel

Pros: We loved our room, the view from our room. The main infinity pool view where the bar was, that they had free kayaking and snorkeling gear for guest to use. Staff was on point and very helpful ALL the time!! We did not want to leave.

Cons: You get kind of sick of the buffet, but what are you going to complain about when breakfast is free. Luckily the first morning we were the only ones in the hotel, so we got to order for a menu and that food was GREAT!!

Pros: -staff very helpful -view was amazing -if you are looking for full privacy of the pool ask the hotel to arrange for you because not all the villas are private ( they gave me the most high villa the privacy was good)

Cons: - furniture is very old - food - lightening of the room - layout of the villa (if you book a 3 bedroom villa the rooms are not connected to each other)

Pros: The best! Every thing was perfect :)

Pros: The members of the staff were wonderful for us (Art, Kit, Park,...and everybody else) they did a super job to make us feel at home. Top service with a great breakfast (buffet, a la carte, champagne,...) we had every morning and also top service to bring and pick us up every time to our house there (was 5 minutes driving with golf car). The house was great, with sea view, top location and again excellent staff that came to clean up every day. When we're back in Thailand, for sure we go back to the Ayara Kamala Resort!

Pros: Great view and nice staff, staying was amazing

Cons: We ordered fried chicken, but the quality was little bit disappointing. Just 3 pieces, not well cooked, no fried just roasted.

Pros: Everythings

Cons: Location

Pros: We loved the location at the quiet end of the beach. Outstanding!! Perfect for watching sunsets.

Cons: Nothing was lacking.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: The entrance is quite dangerous especially at night

Pros: Amazing hotel! Amazing staff. Would completely recommend this hotel. Had an absolutely lovely time.

Cons: Nothing at all!

Pros: very friendly staff, lovely welcome at reception, stunning views from seaview rooms. happy hour on roof top bar great, again lovely views.

Cons: bit tired and worn in places, needs some maintenance.

Pros: Location, view from the room.

Pros: It was just beautiful. Bed was perfect, the location on the beach was outstanding. Roof bar sunsets epic, just so tranquil. Breakfast buffet was great.

Cons: The noise carries up the hallways but it was early and kids were just playing on the way to bed.

Pros: The hotel is in a great location at the end of Kamala Beach and was the peace and quiet I was looking for, early in the morning you could find a spot on the beach just outside the hotel and feel like you were on your own private beach. However being at the end of the beach, you do need to walk quite a way to get to anything but it is a beautiful walk along the beach and across the bay. The hotel served a very good breakfast a nice array of different foods from local to continental.

Cons: When I first arrived I was put in a room that was clearly a twin made into a king and was right in block E being the furthest from everything and with a not great view of concrete and what looked like staff parking. I asked to move rooms including having a shower rather than a bath. The new room was much more what I expected being a king bed and with a view over gardens. For the price that is charged the first room was certainly not good enough, had they not moved me I would have cancelled my booking and gone elsewhere, but I shouldn't have had the bad room in the first place! That said the staff were very accommodating and I couldn't fault them. As would be expected the restaurant prices are very expensive for what is on offer, it's much cheaper elsewhere. It's a shame really as if it was less expensive it would probably get more custom.

Pros: Location

Cons: A bit run down

Pros: Situated on the far end of the Kamala Beach, the hotel as a virtually exclusive part of the beach. It's a 10-15 minute walk to any beach amenities like fruit shakes, massages etc., but that also means that pretty much only hotel guests use it, so it's quite clean and quiet. The sea is clean. Far from the transparent turquoise of the islands, though, but there's zero trash on the beach or in the water. Breakfasts are great. Enough variety, and everything is delicious. Pretty much western selection of foods for breakfast. Different tropical fruit smoothies every day.

Cons: The slightly secluded spot is cool, but there's an obvious downside – you have to walk 15-25 minutes to Kamala town buy anything. You have to walk through the beach, too, so any nice footwear stays in your room and you get about in rubber slippers. It is technically possible to walk on the road, but highly inadvisable, especially in the dark. There are many rocks in the water near the shore, and they are unpleasantly sharp. The water is not clear enough to spot them well. There's a construction site right next to the hotel. Windows in the D building open straight to the site. The view is not pretty, and it's noisy at times. It will definitely go on for a while, as there're just digging right now.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff

Pros: Everything. The beach, facilities, crew, and their food! (Breakfast and restaurant/bar menu)

Cons: Everything in Novotel Kamala has been perfect for us. The vicinity maybe, convenience stores/supermarket are a bit far.
