I had a wonderful stay at The Kala Samui. The view was absolutely magical, and the hotel itself felt both simple and elegant. The location was convenient, and everything was easy to reach. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a beautiful place with stunning views and great atmosphere – highly recommend!

Koh Samui en famille

Un endroit extraordinaire; l’hôtel est à flanc de montagne et la vue est spectaculaire. Le personnel est au petit soin avec les clients. L’hôtel est calme, propre et magnifique. Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et confortables. Les déjeuners sont délicieux. Ils préparent des cafés chaud et glacés. Le resto du soir est digne d’un grand restaurant thaïlandais. La piscine est propre mais il n’y a pas beaucoup de chaises.

So I booked this place a couple weeks ago for a 2 night stay. It looked beautiful on there website as well as Expedia, and without hesitation even though it was on the pricey end, I paid $507 for a two night stay for the duplex pool villa, without breakfast. I was expecting it to be like how they had it in the pictures, however, the place is super run down and looked nothing like what is does in pictures. At certain time of the night they would turn off electricity, the lights work but I couldn’t charge my phone all night. It’s really dead in the resort, I feel like no one was there except for three other couples. The “resort” was right off the side of what seems to look like the main road, resort doesn’t offer transportation besides from/to airport or pier. Everything is far from hotel and must use some type of transportation, walking was dangerous because it’s the main road and they’re driving pretty fast, we tried and it was scary. You can take a transportation that is similar to a tuk tuk and they usually charge per person 50baht I believe. The closest beach is 10mins driving, there is also another close one that you have to kayak through the rough waves and rocks which is a no no for me, I’m not that adventurous.Food was another hard thing to find, even though they do offer food there in the resort. View was beautiful, but the resort was definitely not worth the money, especially in Thailand. USD can get you so much more luxurious places and this was not one of them.

We are extremely impressed by the customer service that was rendered to us during our stay in the villa.. The staffs went an extra miles in ensuring that our concerns are all addressed accordingly and it definitely made our stay there a memorable one. They are all approachable, friendly and very nice.

What a truly magical stay! We booked the private deluxe villa for our honeymoon for 7 nights and we had the authentic Thai experience that we had hoped for! The resort and amenities were exceptional, the staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating. Our room exceeded expectations, it was big enough, had an incredible private pool and views of the ocean, the bed was comfy and huge and the bathroom, so beautiful with a huge deep soaking bathtub. We purchased a rate with breakfast, lunch and dinner included and I would highly recommend as the food was fantastic and there were enough variety of options (mostly Thai, except breakfast) on the menu (separate menu). Note: in room dining and drinks are not included in the deal. Also, during our stay, we booked a traditional Thai massage at the Spa onsite (wow!), a private dinner on the rocks with private butler service (must do!), a private Thai cooking class (such a fun experience) and a day trip booked through the hotel to Angthong Islands (highly recommend). There is no direct beach access from the hotel but you can go swimming or snorkelling from the hotel off the rocks onsite, however, a sandy beach is very easily accessible via a 5 min walk from the hotel cutting through the resort next door (Coral Cliff Beach Resort). The purpose of our stay was to spend most of our time relaxing at the resort and the resort was just enough away from the hustle and bustle but not too secluded (approx. 15-20 min drive into town). Thank you!

The Service Staff GSA Katrina Binaya is very professional and tactful. She was able to take pressure and stress from demanding guest like me. Eventually she given us a better room due to Reservation officer Calos did not commit for my nice view room assignment. I was assigned by Reservation officer Calos on high floor and facing sea view which i requested through expedia communication. She committed to me a nice room. Upon checked in on 6th, room assigned was terrible without sea view and blocked by tree branches. Amenities like towels not in room. Katrina said aircon faulty and given me another room next few doors but i was not pacified. Katrina then assigned me to another upper floor (so many stairs walking up and down). Knowing that i was already frustrated and tired for room change, she again assigned me to a better resonable room facing sea to make a good recovery. She also sweated alot walking me up and down but she still carried a smiling face and positive attitude. She is a good worker and we are impressed by her professional service. Please convet my compliments to the Hotel Manager. Yours Sincerely Kenny Goh Regards Kenny Goh

Secluded luxurious private villa with pool

Great view, amazing pool villa, old-style Thai luxury. Friendly staff but the overall service for rooms is lacking a bit, and the minibar was very understocked. Overall a fabulously private place if you want to escape and completely unwind with the BEST view in Koh Samui (day or night). Easy access to water for snorkeling and using their Kayak.

Beautiful Boutique Hotel. Staff are amazing, so friendly. Location is minutes away from town, a nice escape from the chaos. The amenities are what you would expect from a small resort. The cliff side location means no beach but there are a couple within a short walk. Snorkeling is available at the resort and at the nearby beach. My only complaint is a common one. The beds are Firm!! I almost went out and bought a mattress!
