Kamala hotels near Tsunami Memorial

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: 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: 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: The bed was very hard

Pros: The staff was very friendly The location was close to restaurants and masssage

Cons: No outdoor seating area

Pros: Silence. There are few bars close to hostel, but I have sleept deeply comfortable.

Pros: Very friendly staff; room was clean and comfortable

Pros: There are lots of bars and restaurants on the beach for the evening.

Cons: The beach is quite busy but if you have a car to get out of the area this is not a problem.

Pros: Location

Cons: Little small room

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: 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.

Pros: No kids nice and quiet. Excellant breakfasts Brilliant pools Great value Good room service.

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

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: Great location and facilities

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.

Cons: Shower in the bath, it was a bit high.

Pros: Fabulous on the beach 3 adult pool to choose from or just walk out onto sand for swim in beautiful clean beach. The restaurants along the sand are fabulous Highly recommend this area and lovely and quiet out of peak area

Pros: Breakfast was always good. Been here last past years, and breakfast buffet always amaze me with many choices. Their menu were enhanced as well, they have added several Thai food compared to the past years. Also they have elevators now,previously was none.appreciate the non smoking area pool

Cons: I always like this Hotel, however i suggest it to enhance more on service on putting more efforts on every guests celebration. Some petal roses decorations on bed amd some ballons wouldnt cost much to surprise a guest celebrationg birthday or anything. Mini mart to close bit late like 11pm would be better.

Pros: Quality - value for money. Didnt appreciate fully until we moved to our next accommodation in Kata how perfect this was for similar price. Peaceful part of Phuket. Shuttle to Patong was reasonable price. (Please don’t ride elephants at nearby parks - very cruel. There’s better places further inland) Nice walk along the sand to restaurants, beautiful beach and beach club further along if you like more action. The Sunprime seaside restaurant was very good. We loved that it had a good vegetarian menu with many vegan options. Reasonable prices too. Buffet breakfast was very good with big selection - they refreshed often and everything was clean, fresh and quality. More vegan would have suited us but we did very well. They also cater to those with allergies by listing the possible allergens in everything eg dairy, nuts etc. even the breads as some contain dairy - very grateful. Coffee machine as well as coffee served by staff - soy milk yay thanks! The rooms were lovely, clean and comfy. We had a ground floor with a little front gate to pool. We were in the building close to the reception but all rooms looked convenient. Good clean bedding. Perfect bathroom. Nothing to complain about. Three plus pools and in August it was quiet so lots of space, sunloungers and quiet areas. Maybe subbed mattresses should be provided as sunbed metal frames were uncomfortable- perhaps as it was rainy season none were provided? Fresh pool towels whenever you wanted. Massage was wonderful in the little indoor/outdoor rotunda - although slightly tricky when having full body as it was open to the surrounding rooms but once they started on the massage it didn’t matter. Same prices as out in streets. Loved there was water aerobics and yoga for free. Staff were lovely. Would return for sure.

Cons: Slightly pricey drinks - no happy hour. Glass window in bathroom with no curtain- could use shower curtain for toilet privacy but shower was not private (even couples need privacy). But honestly everything else was wonderful.

Pros: I like the most the location of the place, the swimming pools and the access to the beach.....fantastic They are a good restaurants in the rsort and a ;ot of charming restaurant on the beach.....all the needed shops are very closed I warmly recommend this place

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: Love the pool and breakfast with sea view

Cons: Location far from town. should have offer free transport to nearby town

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: The public swimming pool is good although it is nearby the restaurant. The three-bedroom is extraordinary big.

Cons: Disappointed for the gym room. It needs better maintenance.

Pros: I like everything about this hotel from check-in till check-out

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: The food the location and the service

Cons: The furniture quite old

Pros: Everythings

Cons: Location

Pros: Staff was great, nice food at the restaurant and good place to chill by the pool.

Cons: location wasn't that great, there were no stores in walking distance.

Pros: Staff was great, nice food at the restaurant and good place to chill by the pool.

Cons: location wasn't that great, there were no stores in walking distance.

Pros: Staff

Cons: Hard to think of anything

Pros: Beautiful location and spacious rooms

Pros: Friendly staff and proximity to the beach.

Cons: - Little waste water river next to the hotel running all the way to the beach and into the ocean - Sewage smell at the beach - The room looked run down - Shower water entered the main room through the window - Hotel guests were extremely loud in the morning when leaving their rooms, no courtesy to speak quietly

Pros: Very friendly personnel! Very nice Spa.

Cons: Deposit system at the front. A bit complicated.

Pros: View is awesome pool is perfect

Cons: Nothing

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: The hotel very clean and got free upgraded to ocean villa with excellent view (didn’t want to leave) the food on rooftop taste very good. Beach very quiet no too many tourists. Staffs from front desk to dinning room and all staffs very friendly and helpful. Definitely return to this hotel in future.

Cons: Breakfast should be more choices for my idea but quality of food they serve are very well.

Pros: Hotel is right on the beach at the northern end of Kamala, the quietest and nicest part of Kamala beach. Cafe del Mar and other restaurants are 3 minutes walk, the center of the village is 15 mins walk on the beach. We got upgraded to beach front room with private jacuzzi and our stay was overall very pleasant. Staff is kind and helpful, breakfast is very good with a huge range of choices, swimming pool bar serves nice cocktails and very good food. The SPA is cozy and the treatment we got was great! Definitely recommended if you want a stay away from the noisy Patong and yet well serviced and comfortable!

Cons: Nothing really bad, just unpleasant smell coming from the toilet drains sometimes. The beach in front of the hotel is washed by the high tide, so if you want to enjoy the best part of Kamala you have to walk 2 minutes down the beach.

Pros: Fantastic hotel! Great breakfast choice, right on the beach, competent and corteous staff. We got an extremely generous upgrade to pool villas! The comfort and view from the pool villa - simply breathtaking!
