I and my friend had a chance to re-visit Samui. This time we selected something that was unique with styles. I was not thinking about anything modern, chic, contemporary, or over-commercially boutique as you could find anywhere else in the world. So I happened to know this resort easily from good deals at an online agent website. This unique resort... More

We spent a few days at The Kala in January and were very disappointed: the rooms are highly overpaid! The hotel needs a general renovation to be able to compete with others on the island. The facilities are not maintained well. We could not believe that most Thai staff do not understand proper English - one would expect to be... More

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your review, and we appreciate your constructive feedback. We are constantly upgrading and maintaining the property. The style of the hotel is supposed to have a little 'rustic charm' and this may to some, be mis-interpreted to feeling as if it needs a coat of paint, but understandably this is your point of view....

It is built using the cliff to structure the different levels, which provides an amazing view from every spot in the hotel. The small but open spaces (in the lobby, restaurant, bar, etc.) combine the cosy and secluded atmosphere of a little thatched hut with the widths of... More
