“Cozy stay. Spacious room. Super comfy bed and pillow. Convenient parking lot. Friendly and attentive staff. Good breakfast. Swimming pool was nice but only open til 7:00pm. Som pool bar happy hours during 5-7pm. Pet friendly hotel.”

“We stayed for five nights in the Ocean Front Pool Villa Suite (Villa 4) toward the end of January. ||This particular villa has arguably the best pool in the resort as the shape is unique and it’s massive. The interior has a distinct island …”

“We stayed for 7 nights in a sea view club room. The resort is located in a beautifully rural part of the island, it’s secluded and peaceful - here you can truly relax. The beach is beautiful and clean and you enjoy true paradise views across the ocean. However the water is not clear enough for snorkeling and the fish are very scared of people due to spear fishing. The location also means there are no restaurants or shops at an easy distance from the hotel, so we had all our meals at location. The resort grounds are expansive and are set on a cliff side, but golf buggies take where you need to go if you’re not fond of walking up and down the hillside. We really enjoyed the tranquil setting of the resort, however due to the secludedness we were a bit disappointed with the food. We had all our meals onsite and unfortunately none of the food was great. Everything was mediocre or good at best, and quite often under seasoned and/or overcooked. Breakfast was similarly good but nothing to write home about, but I do give them kudos for consistently getting the cooking of the poached eggs right. Highly recommend the Air Bar for cocktails around sunset - the drinks I had there were some of the best I’ve had ever. The resort is well maintained and beautiful. From the room itself you can tell its age, mainly from the fact that the plumbing makes an awful lot of noise when you flush the toilet for a good while after, and the aircon was also very loud even on the lowest setting. Room itself was well appointed and spacious, and we enjoyed the generous balcony overlooking the ocean. Lastly service at the resort is extremely attentive and mostly impeccable - this is really where the hotel shines. We were very well taken care of by all of the staff at every interaction and everyone seemed very genuinely kind and attentive and we were taken well care of when I got sick during our stay. We had some issues at breakfast from time to time (tardiness or getting our order wrong) but nothing that could not be overcome. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and this is a great hideaway for anyone looking to truly relax and be well taken care of - but personally would expect considerable improvements on the food before considering a return visit.”

“Great experience staying at this resort hotel. Rooms are good. Clean, well-maintained and big bathroom. My only criticism is that a west-facing room with have difficulty staying cool (by American standards) during the day and will struggle to adjust at night. I understand that’s a personal preference, but it did mildly affect our stay. Service was great at the front desk and there were very helpful people assisting with taxis and deliveries. My only criticism here is that there was really no pool-side service and also the lunch service was fairly slow. Neither of these things affected our stay too much, but it’s something we noticed for a hotel this expensive. The location is good but some things to know…it takes between 30-60 minutes (depending on time of day) to get just about anywhere touristy you might want to go. However, many of the resorts in this price bracket are further from the tourist “hustle” so that seems a common issue. So just plan your days accordingly and it’s not a big deal. There is not much walkable in the area surrounding the hotel although there are two very tasty restaurants within a 5 minute car ride. Overall, the resort itself including fitness center, spa, and restaurants is fabulous and luxurious. It’s also quite a unique kind of property and architecture. We really enjoyed our stay!”

“We recently had an absolutely magical five-night stay here, largely because of two things: the service and the setting. Every staff person you will meet is so kind, gracious, friendly, eager to help and, importantly, very good at their jobs! We had a fantastic concierge (Jack) that seemed to anticipate our every need and assisted us like we were his only guests! The breakfast staff was also memorably excellent, but whether at Zest or Azure for dinner or getting a kayak at the beach, everyone we interacted was really superb! Next the views - in a word, breathtaking. You will look, turn away, and seconds later, again marvel at the beauty! Of course, it helps you will have your own cliffside villa with decently sized pool (not a bathtub "plunge" pool). Have sunset drinks at the bar across from Zest. The gym is really good, if that's your thing. And, as good as the massage treatments are, the dry sauna and showers in the spa are an experience unto themselves.”

“Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Amazing staff, all were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful, luxurious rooms. The private pool on the balcony was a highlight for me. Beautiful picturesque pool area. The dinning area is overlooking the pool, the whole place is in such a beautiful setting. The food was also fantastic, champagne served with breakfast at weekends :) I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday here and the staff organised a chocolate cake which was left in my room. Thank you for an amazing stay.”

333, 333/3 Moo 3, Kamala Beach, 3, Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket 83150, Thailand

“Easily the nicest beachfront hotel on Kamala beach. We loved taking morning walks with coffee along the shore. We paid to upgrade to a pool access room and I’m very glad we did as it made using the pool a lot easier. When our flight got delayed, the reception team worked hard to arrange a later check out for us despite being fully booked. They could have just said no and kicked us out onto the street. I am so incredibly thankful they were willing to help.”

“I’ve been here now for 10 days (on day 7) and it’s been an absolute dream. I’ve stayed in many Anantaras (Dubai, Dublin) and this one lives up the high quality and class they set themselves. The area is fantastic, just two minutes from …”

“At first glance this place is absolutely stunning, after a ten days you start to see a couple flaws. Staff and service 10/10, the view 10/10 - we got the two bedroom villa. The breakfast is a 3/10 at best and the sands restaurant 5/10, with saffron for 7/10. They need to hire a full time host at breakfast with two guys on the juice and coffee station with the influx of guests bombarding the restaurant. I think they are about a decade behind on plating. The sad little omelettes come with a ketchup squiggle and a carrot every morning. I would recommend eating just outside the hotel. The food is literally one tenth of the price and much much better. Again, staff and view/villas are great. Owner needs to put some attention to detail and do a full food overhaul.”

55 Wang Krachae, Sai Yok District, Chang Wat Kanchanaburi 71150, Thailand

“The setting of the hotel in the river is fantastic and like almost everywhere in Thailand the staff is very friendly, but relaxing on the private (sun) deck connected to the room is impossible. Due to the connection of the deck to the room everything shakes back and forth quite a bit when a boat passes by (and that is every 3-4 minutes). This must and can be improved.”

“We went to the Keemala for our honeymoon. We had a phenomenal experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful - Tony looked after us and made sure we had a special stay and helped us with reservations and activities. He was super responsive and friendly. The breakfast is tip top, the pool is beautiful and the rooms were really special. We were sad to leave but really hope to return soon!”

“Unfortunately Aleenta is overpriced and not good enough for what is supposed to be a 5 star hotel, so I'm not sure where all the great reviews are. If you are someone who is used to staying at international 5 star hotels then you will be utterly disappointed by Aleenta 'Phuket' (not in Phuket). Appearance and Design is a 1 star: The layout of the hotel is poor and there are so many design flaws that make getting around so frustrating. The whole hotel decor feels so tired and old, there is nothing charming or nice about it. If you are staying in a grand deluxe pool villa, then it is across the main road from the restaurant and beach. If you book a beach pool villa, you have zero privacy as people can look in. I stayed in the grand deluxe pool villa and it was small compared to similar priced hotels I stayed in real Phuket. There is no door to the bathroom, but unnecessarily a door to the small walk in wardrobe. There are so many mosquitos by the pool, even with the mosquito coils and sprays you can’t sit outside. There is no bath, and the shower temperature can’t be changed. They don’t clean the pool for you during the stay nor do they clean the floors. Because there’s no water bucket or outside shower, it is really easy to get sand everywhere. Food is a 2 star: I stayed for 3 nights, and on day 1 and 3 where I only ate at the hotel where the food was not good, I also had mild food poisoning. Their plant based restaurant is so overpriced, no wonder it is always empty! Our meal was below average, and we wanted to have a nice special meal so tried it despite not being plant based, it feels like they know they can be more successful if they offer a meat based menu but just dont want to. Other facilities is a 1 star: The boat trip I booked was horrible and overpriced - read the small print! The staff, although they were all nice, were also a bit clueless and struggled: the edge restaurant got our order wrong several times, there’s never any towels by the beach, no one cleans or collects things by the beach, and the activities on the beach look like a health and safety hazard so no one uses it. Overall, my biggest regret of 3 weeks in Southeast Asia was booking to stay here because the price and experience is not matched. I stayed 4 nights at a hotel in actual Phuket for a similar price - it didn't have direct beach access, but everything else about it was so much superior. Please consider carefully before booking!”

“Spent a week here around new years, the staff are so lovely and are always happy to help. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The restaurant had both western and Thai options and breakfast was delicious and had everything one could want. The best part of all is the perfect location as it is directly on top of the beach and provides lots of nice places to lie on the beach or next to the pools, also the beach was not busy at all. Would recommend staying here!”

83, Bo Put, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani 84320, Thailand

“In general, a beautiful hotel/resort. We've stayed in the Boat House, which was spacious and well decorated. One of the most adventures hotel rooms I've stayed so far. Unfortunately, there were some minor flaws like (1) the smell in the toilet next to the bathroom, coming from the A/C,l made using this toilet unbearable. (2) The plug-in and the night stand for the person sleeping next to the entrance are missing. (3) Some of the pillows on the outside have already started moulding. The overall environment in the resort was beautiful and was spreading vacation vibes. A lot of trees and plants were well taken care of. The pool, which was connecting all the rooms, is amazing to swim in. The beach was clean and there is enough space for all guests. The food and drinks in the restaurant are quite overpriced for what you get. For example, a coconut was more than 200 baht. The breakfast buffet has a good selection of Western food like bread, sausage, cereals. They are also offering Boat noodles. Unfortunately not in the traditional taste but rather in a very mild taste compared to what you get at local places. Unfortunately, the breakfast selection doesn't change throughout the days, so you might get boring of the selection if you stay too long. The staff is extremely friendly and supportive, having always a smile on the face.”

“One of the most amazing place for family to stay and explore the history of Siam. Prices for the rooms we stayed is incredibly affordable and breakfast service is excellent. Exquisite taste of nature, has swimming pool, place for kids to hang out and have fun. Car park available. 1000% recommend this amazing place to stay.”
