Rats in the room

The stay was overall good. The hotel and our room had a great view. Price was also very reasonable. The bad thing was that generally the room was quite worn and needed cleaning. There was also only 1 rubbish bin in the toilet which is not enough. When we were sleeping we could hear gnawing at one of our sealed snack bags so this meant there were rats in the room. I managed to take a video and showed it to the receptionist and she was pretty nonchalant about it and apologized but didn’t seem like she cared so it was definitely not the first time she has heard complaints about rats in their room.

Das Hotel ist wunderschön an einem Abhang gelegen. Der Ausblick auf das Meer ist ĂŒberragend. Zum Banden eignet sich der Pool sehr gut. Der Einstieg ins Meer ist jedoch sehr kompliziert und wĂŒrde ich nur zum Schnorcheln empfehlen. Das Personal war stets sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Einziges Manko ist die laute Straße, die man doch immer wieder deutlich hört.

Koh Samui en famille

Un endroit extraordinaire; l’hĂŽtel est Ă  flanc de montagne et la vue est spectaculaire. Le personnel est au petit soin avec les clients. L’hĂŽtel est calme, propre et magnifique. Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et confortables. Les dĂ©jeuners sont dĂ©licieux. Ils prĂ©parent des cafĂ©s chaud et glacĂ©s. Le resto du soir est digne d’un grand restaurant thaĂŻlandais. La piscine est propre mais il n’y a pas beaucoup de chaises.

Nous avons sĂ©journĂ© au Kala HĂŽtel et l’expĂ©rience a Ă©tĂ© mitigĂ©e. Du cĂŽtĂ© positif, la chambre est trĂšs belle, la dĂ©coration soignĂ©e et moderne. La vue est tout simplement splendide et la piscine magnifique, parfaite pour se dĂ©tendre et profiter du cadre. En revanche, l’insonorisation est vraiment Ă  revoir : nous avions l’impression de dormir au bord d’une autoroute, ce qui a fortement gĂąchĂ© nos nuits. De plus, le petit dĂ©jeuner est beaucoup trop lĂ©ger et ne correspond pas aux attentes pour un Ă©tablissement de ce standing. En rĂ©sumĂ©, un hĂŽtel visuellement trĂšs agrĂ©able mais avec des points essentiels Ă  amĂ©liorer pour offrir une expĂ©rience complĂšte et reposante

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.
