I want to share the positive review of my stay at this hotel. Nice room, very clean. Areas are beautiful and well-kept. Beach is good. The staff is professional. I want to especially note the ladies at the reception Kathy and Jehn, they are so friendly, and always ready to help. And the waiter guy Shuyaa, very attentive. But in fact, All the staff does their job very well, thank them for that. Great place, great hotel, I will definitely come back next time

We booked a Jacuzzi villa for 3 nights. Unfortunately, it rained most evenings, so we ended up spending a lot of time indoors. The room was decent—comfortable enough, though nothing particularly special. One point to note is that the hotel seemed to cater to a large group of indians which may affect the atmosphere for some travelers. The biggest letdown was the breakfast. The quality of the food was poor, and we found it quite disappointing. While the hotel emphasizes reducing food wastage—which is important—they should also focus on ensuring the food is actually enjoyable so that it can prevent unnecessary food wastage. To be specific, their stir fry noodles are inedible and not tasty at all, and for a hotel with a reputable name, it is sad that they cant even cook something so basic. Overall, it was an average experience. There’s definitely room for improvement, especially in the food department. However, the jacuzzi villa is a unique beachfront hotel room. If u intend to stay here, opt out of the breakfast option, U will save alot. They quoted me $50 for each breakfast day, which is not even worth it. there are better food choices with affordable prices on grab or foodpanda.

I think the hotel is in a terrible location, there is sewer next to it and across from the hotel! The beach is not clean, I don't recommend it for families with children. Not for the elderly, as you should walk a lot between the rooms and the cafe or the pool. The children's pool is also very small and without fun. And the Kids Club is very weak and not very active. I was disappointed with the beach and the hotel.

The hotel is very well located, amazing beach, nice pool, nice restaurant, good breakfast. The only bad experience I had was on the restaurant where I order a mango juice and the staff got very rude and start talking words in Thai that I think it was bad words, I called the manager and the manager have the same bad attitude, it will be a 5 stars review but unfortunately due to bad service I will said stay there but don’t expect good service

We booked sea view room but were given supreme room type instead. The upgrade was nice, but the door had issues, the door could not open, and we got locked out so many times! Not to mention, we couldn’t check in until 2 hours later of check-in time.

I stayed at Novotel Kamala beach from 12th -15th June 2025 – ( Room number 205). The hotel is in a very far away place access night market / any city area requires 20 mins of taxi or driving one way . Wanted to buy some basic medications and had to spend 700 bath to visit the pharmacy and come back, however the medications costs only 38 Bath ☹. 7/11 is widely accessible across Thailand , but around Novotel Kamala beach is minimum 25 mins , which is 700 bath cost ☹. Hotel room in very noisy due to the old air conditioning , it’s just like staying in inside an airplane which is on Taxi mode, when the power is off and come back need to wake up and switch on the air conditioning which was ridiculous. The hotel is very old and badly needs refurbishment. I do visit Thailand minimum once a month , this was the first ever time I noticed two power outages 😊 Above is my experience during 12th -15th June 2025 – ( Room number 205) Arjuna Abeysinghe

All good. Staffs are friendly. Its really a beach hotel as you can just walk up to the beach. But would be really nice if hotel could provide a complimentary breakfast or anything as it was my husband birthday. Other than that all good.
