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!

Traditional Thai hotel feel and look. Perfectly situated across from the Ocean Beach with easy access. The property is beautiful on the outside, but the rooms are a bit dated and could use a refurbishment. Otherwise, clean and perfect for your holiday getaway in Puhket. Breakfast buffet is decent and assorted fruits are available. Nice hotel and good value 👌 Like and follow for more amazing places to see and visit around the World.

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friendly, and the hotel itself has beautiful architecture and lots of greenery, but it’s not well-maintained and feels outdated.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 😠.
