The Kala Hotel, Samui

We just returned from a 3 night stay from The Kala at Koh Samui. It was a very wonderful, relaxing trip, all thanks to the amazing view and the amazing staff of the Kala, nothing was too much trouble for them, you just had to ask! All the rooms offer a fantastic sea view. On our 3rd day, we decided to change room due to too sunny balcony. We specified the room and got it without problem, The view in the 1st room was good, the view in the 2nd was even more gorgeous! There were a lot of steps, hence it is not really recommended for children nor the elderly. Precisely because of the steps, that is why the view is commanding. During dusk, we managed to go all the way down to the platform on a cliff, the view is just astonishing. And the best part was, there were no other guests around! The Kala is a cozy establishment. Although there are other guests, you do feel like you are the only ones around at times. There are only 3 choices to the breakfast. I'd recommend the Han Chao set (porridge and side dishes), its really delicious! We ordered room service for one of the nights, and the food was good. Contrary to previous reviews, our food came within 5 mins (while at the restaurant), and within 15 mins (for room service). In fact, all our requests were attended to very promptly. Ocassionally when it was not so quick, it is attributed to communication problem (they didn't quite understand us). We tried the Thai massage a few times, it is very relaxing! Much better experience and ambience than those at the beach (the one at Lamai beach was quite good too). Highly recommended. The prices were reasonable, 1200 THB for a Thai massage, and the hotel gave us 500THB voucher to offset, what a good deal! There is also an internet room, going online is a breeze. The Kala also provides transport to the nearby Thong Yang beach (5 mins walk away to your right), as it does not have a beach on its own. You must try the Tom Yum Goong, fried Thai curry with chicken there. It is eve

If you are looking for a perfectly quiet, romantic stay in Samui, the Kala is the place. Privacy, especially between week-ends is really a characteristic of the place. You may feel like at home. The decoration is very stylish, the view is marvelous, the sun deck is a nice place to retreat, the swimming pool is magnificent. All in all, a perfect stay for a couple. Don't miss it

We stayed at the Kala for 3 nights in Feburary and it was absolutely wonderful. All the rooms have a sea view and what and it truly is the best view on the island. We booked a standard rooms and were very pleasantly surprised - it was big, with a lovely stone bathroom and huge bathtub for two and a good sized rain shower. The bed was massive and very comfy. We stayed on the top floor and I would definately recommend that rather than the ones below. There were a couple of private pool villas right by the cliff and they looked amazing - they are a definate for honeymooning couples! The staff were wonderful and very attentive to all our needs. And the food was superb - we had dinner there one night and it was certainly one of the best meals we had on the island. The portions are quite generous so if you order right its great value for money as well. The only downside would be getting to and from. We hired a car so it was perfect and we never had any trouble but I think if you didn't have any transport it would slightly difficult to access as it is located away from the hustle and bustle. The hotel is wonderfully private and quiet and it really feels like a sanctuary when you return from the crowds down in Chaweng. Can't recommend this place enough!!
