The Villa with private pool was excelent in space and decoration. The cleaning people never substituted tooth past and razors, we had to ask twice to get new ones The common areas could be better cleaned and painted and the internet was very slow The employees were always very nice and polite. We went to the spa and everything was... More

The Kala ( i.e. the coconut in Thai) is a boutique hotel on the slopes the Kho Samui hills between Chaweng and Lamai. The hotel is very nice and we enjoyed our 4 nights stay and we loved the massages in the SPA. Be careful of few things: - the hotel faces the sea, but with rocks. wooden paths bring... More

I could not speak more highly of our experience at the Kala. To start with the staff (which is what made our stay the most enjoyable) every single member was an absolute delight to deal with and knew us by first name. Gerwin, X, Au, Pe went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after - even down to... More

Just far enough outside Chaweng to be quiet and peaceful but close enough for some night time fun - the staff will help you with travel plans and suggest itinerys so you see the best the island has to offer.

We arrived at the Kala for the second leg of our Thailand honeymoon. The resort has some of the most magnificent views of the ocean. We had a beautiful sea view from our room on the top floor. The resort is quite far from shops, but we did not mind as we relaxed with some awesome massages, snorkeling and good... More

Lovely views, Fantastic staff, good facilities, very well looked after. Great design of hotel. I had a wonderful time. The hotel staged a singer, however, who sang cliched songs (quite badly) almost every evening in the dining areas.

I only stayed for one night at Kala and I arrived at night. The airline lost my luggage so I had absolutely nothing but the staff did everything they could to get me the toiletries I needed. One even offered her personal hairbrush if they couldn't find a comb! The bed was uncomfortable but that is common in Thailand. When... More

Our stay at Kala was the best thing for us to begin our holiday. We truly relaxed and unwound in the peaceful and picturesque surroundings. Our pampering at the spa was exceptional, highly recommend this. Meals and service were wonderful...and the cocktails!!! The live entertainment each night by resident muso 'Jude' was enjoyable and a pleasant way to finish the... More

Great Place. Small and personal. They have great staff for whom nothing is a problem. We went for the daily breakfast, lunch and massage option which we would recommend. Even if you go out for the day you can eat from the lunch menu at night which helps your budget. The views from the rooms are wonderful but ask for... More

Great hotel and service, with extremely helpful staff. Not too close to Chaweng beach where most of the bars and restaurants are - hiring a scooter helps. Great infinity pool with direct access to a rocky beach. Sandy beach can be accessed by kayak or by 5-10 minute walk from outside the hotel.
