Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel

Had 10 days at this great hotel, staff were brilliant, we got upgraded after the first night to a bungalow after the couple next door made such a racket. This was our third time to Kamala but first at the Princess. Would really recommend the hotel, although renovations started on the main pool as we left. The resort looked a bit run down compared to the last time (10 years ago though) but beach is fabulous, great food and service. Thank you Princess!

This doesn't feel like a 5 star hotel at all. The problem comes from the rooms. Either we didn't get the room we payed for or the pictures are fake. When booking superior deluxe room, if you are lucky you get to stay in the apartment that are shown on the pictures, if you are not lucky, you end up in the little housings in the middle of the garden and be ready to see some bugs. It seems like those little house are called Junior garden villa on their website and this is what we got. Those room are more expensive then what we booked but seems to be less modern and more authentic and this is not what we booked. Other than the room, everything was fine, the pool is clean, warm and big (a lot of tiles are missing and it's easy to cut yourself though). The staff and the location are great (This is not a beachfront though)

Ask yourselves WHY ARE THERE NO RECENT PHOTOS ON REVIEWS??? I would guess the hotel doesn't allow them... that should tell you what yiu need to know. Place is too expensive for what it is even wirh a 3rd party booking. Im not sure what regulates the Rating ⭐️ in Thailand but to call this a 5 star resort is wild to me... Best location for hotels not on the beach. Just across the road. Apple 🍎 was sweet. My maid was very bad at cleaning and atleast on the first full day had a poor demeanor. It was probably just a bad day. He/she was okay the other days but sure needs to be taught how to clean properly. Room was very dirty from not being swept during my 7 days (without complaining to Apple) to dirty bedding and a yellow brown stains in the toilet. Smell of weed comes through the balcony door daily as they allow smoking on neighbors balcony. Bath water is yellow. Wonderful location. Most staff is friendly, less likely for night shift though... The coffee shop is awesome and the girls that work there. Gym is a joke. Pools are cool. Expensive products avg taste for the restaraunt. The place is large. Elevator may work. Right especially needs panel taken off then reaped and wired. My door knob was broken and x2 they refused to fix or look at... 5302 I think.

We recently stayed at Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel, and while it has potential and the location is great, it definitely does NOT feel like a 5-star hotel. We were placed in a small « cottage » in the middle of the jungle, which was nothing like what we booked. The room was big but old and there were dirty spots on the bedding. On our first night, we found bugs and multiple mosquitoes 🦟 . On top of that, there was a strong sewer smell from the bathroom 🤢, and no safety latch on the door, which made us feel unsafe and led to a sleepless night. The next morning, we requested a room change and specifically asked to be moved to the main building (if possible), but instead, we were given a slightly larger version of the same cottage. While the bathroom smell was gone, the lack of a safety latch remained an issue. That being said, the pool is big and enjoyable, with a pool bar and music adding a nice touch. However, many tiles are broken in the pool, making it easy to cut yourself if you’re not careful. The staff is friendly, and the hotel itself has beautiful architecture and lots of greenery, but it’s not well-maintained and feels outdated. Also it’s close to the beach but not really beachfront as you have to cross the road and a little bridge to get to the beach. In reality, this looks and feels more like a 3-star hotel, 4-star max (especially the rooms), we were disappointed as we expected the luxury of a true 5-star experience. I would give a higher rating if it wasn’t advertised as a 5-star but this almost feels like false advertising 😠.

This was a decent hotel however not worth the price whatsoever. Somehow a 5 star hotel yet the rooms do not look the part at all. An incident also occurred in the shower resulting in a broken arm, there was no compensation from the hotel, as well as barely any help. Had to practically beg for ice, and had to order a taxi myself to go to the hospital in patong. Overall it was an okay stay mainly because the location is good. As for the hotel itself I really think I should’ve received a discount or something both because of the incident, and because the hotel did not deserve over 30k baht for what I was given. I’d only ever stay here again if it was half the price because that’s what the room and amenities are worth.
