Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel

Room was spacious and had a balcony with chairs (and cushions!), bathroom was large and really nice - separate shower and bath. Higher floors have 2 lifts, so very easy access. Staff were very polite, friendly and always keen to both help and joke. Has 2 pools - one huge and deep pool with swim-up bar, and smaller (shallower) one ‘attached’ to some rooms. Both great. Breakfast was excellent with a truly huge array of high quality Western and Asian foods (pastries, breads, fresh cooked omelettes, juices, hot Asian foods (massaman curry, green curry, vegetables, rice, rice porridge),and Western (pancakes, hash browns), fresh fruits and vegetables - great quality and selection! My only criticism is lack of ‘proper’ made coffee - only have hotplate style so not good (my opinion as a coffee snob). Separate (hotel owned) coffee shop at front had good coffee though - but needed at breakfast. Hotel is in main soi on beachfront so metres from everything… cross bridge onto beach. 7-11 20 metres away! As is many restaurants and cafes. Very highly recommended, would definitely return.

After spending 8 days at this hotel, I can honestly say this is one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve ever had. If I could give 0 stars, I would. The room smelled like an old sewage drain from day one. No matter how long the air conditioning ran, the unpleasant odor never disappeared. The hotel advertises itself as beachfront, which is simply misleading. To reach the beach, you have to walk around 150–200 meters, passing parked cars and garbage bins. That is not what most people would consider a beachfront property. The so-called all-inclusive package is another disappointment. Lunch and dinner are limited to a very small, fixed menu with only a few options. Calling this “all-inclusive” is misleading. The only positive point during my stay was that the General Manager made an exception for us, and I genuinely appreciate that gesture. The reception staff were by far the least professional employees in the hotel. When we checked out carrying multiple heavy suitcases, they stood there watching without offering even basic assistance. Fortunately, the rest of the staff were much friendlier and more helpful. The mattresses are extremely hard and uncomfortable. The rooms are old, outdated, poorly insulated, and fitted with noisy, outdated air-conditioning units. I almost never leave negative reviews, but people deserve to know what they are paying for. Do not be fooled by the hotel’s promotional photos—they are heavily edited and do not represent reality. The actual condition of the property is nowhere near what is advertised. Save your money and book somewhere else. There are far better hotels in the area for the same price.

Rooms are a little dated but has all that you need. Bed very comfortable and has all amenities. I originally was on level 3 and found the stairs a bit hard as there is no lift something I should have checked before. Staff were great moving me to a ground floor room when one became available. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Would definitely stay here again, location is perfect 711 fee doors down, lots of places to eat and beach literally across the road.

Ideal spot for two adults, spending equal amount of time on the beach or lounging by hotels swimming pool. Breakfast good, they probably change 10% of the mains daily for variation. Staff all good through complex, especially Wut and Nee from rooms depending servicing and Jew from poolside area

Had a really great stay here! The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was very convenient. Everything was well-maintained and worth the price. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again!
