Kalima Resort & Spa, Phuket - Kathu

It's a beautiful place but there's a lot of walking stairs here plus the Internet and cable was out our entire stay..so it's circumstantial but it happend so

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The views and hotel itself was really nice but the cable and wifi was out for 3 of the 5 days we were there. Plus I had a room that slept 4 but only had 2 ppl listed because I wasn't sure if my friend was coming and when she did they wanted to charge me for her to stay there.

We really liked this place. It's new but completed. No work going on. Food was fantastic. All the private pools where terrific. Amazing Views! It is out of town a little ways. To far to walk. Only real complaint was that the hotel only runs a shuttle to town three times a day and last one is at 5pm. Because of there location they should run shuttles […] more often. Read more

Customer service was great thanks to the Manager Lip who made my stay great.

The hotel had the potential for a 5star resort. Unfortunately it's not quite there. Seems like they opened it to soon. The rooms are nice but need a lot of detailing. Paint is not complete. There is construction going on all night which does not help your sleep, and the walls are to thin. We complained several times in our one night stay because our […] conjoined room had the tv really loud. Also the room next to us were smoking all night and it would leak into our room. The front desk had to bring someone up to put incense in our room to get the smell out. Read more

TOO NEW! Not ready to open! There are too many things to list. I wouldn't stay there for at least 3 more months.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our room was not ready when we got to the hotel. I was told thru emails before we arrived that the hotel would be complete and there would be no construction. When we arrived, there were still a big construction site in the front of the hotel, which was a sight for sore eyes. The drain in the shower was not draining when we finally got into our room […] and then I had to wait for 2 hours to get service and this was after calling the front desk three times and end up having to go down to the front desk for help. The cable tv was blurry the whole time we stayed there. The hotel said it is due to the construction. The majority of the staff put on a false kindness and pretending smile. Especially on our departure, we didn't even get a "thank you" or " have a nice trip". Only one staff member stood out to us. Her name is Pen at the Malika Restaurant. She was genuinely kind to us from the first day to the last. After all the complaints about the hotel, our room was exactly what we expected and our view from our room was spectacular! Also, the infinty swimming pool was amazing to watch the sunset! Read more

Fantastic view from our double-pool honeymoon suite. Suite was split level where from our bed, we were able to have a panoramic view of Kalima Bay. Bed was extra king size and comfortable and could easily have space for four. Staff was attentive and courteous and always willing to help making our stay an enjoyable one. Be sure to have a room with an […] unobstructed view of the bay. Read more

This is a very new resort with superb staff who are kind and courteous. It is located on the edge of Patong and a taxi ride to the centre and the beach. We did walk it twice but it's a good 40 minute stroll. I picked this hotel as I wanted a top resort for the first 4 days of my holiday, wanted nice surroundings to acclimatise and adjust to the time […] difference. I selected the honeymoon suite so we would have a great room to unwind and it was ok. Not quite what I expected, I mean it was nice but not what I would call a suite let alone a honeymoon suite. If it had of been my honeymoon I would have been very disappointed. The pool is nice and has a great view of the sea and Patong beach in the distance. The bar is not cheap but they do have happy hour offers. The restaurant has a rooftop view of the same and offers a very romantic dining experience with good Thai food at a reasonable price. The spa is a typical hotel spa but of course you can get a massage on the beach or in town for a tenth of the price. We enjoyed the stay and loved the staff but Patong offers better value for money elsewhere. Read more

Great views, great service from staff. Bit of a let down considering the hotel was marked as 5 star, definitely not 5 star as it is still unfinished and needs defects worked on. Lots of problems with rooms needing fixing.. Potential to be 5 star once issues are corrected.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed here for a night on our way back to the airport. Modern design, clean and a rooftop restaurant with a breathtaking view over Patong. I would say the only downside with the hotel are the two restaurants. We tried both and they are not bad but ridiculously overpriced (on both occasions we where the only ones eating in the restaurant). Get a taxi […] from across the street and eat downtown instead. Would stay here again. Read more

I booked the grand deluxe seaview room and was expecting to get the bathtub area facing the sea as was shown in their website. It turns up that my room is located at the corner with my bathtub area is facing the swimming pool and the seaview from the balcony area is blocked by the wall. I asked the reception to get the better room and they adviced that […] the other available grand deluxe seaview room is worse than my room. Apart from the bad experience of my room, I enjoyed the swimming pool and the provided breakfast. Read more

I stayed in his hotel for 2 nights. Spotless and very clean everywhere, built on the side of a hill.it was not easy to navigate around, and seamed a long way to anywhere within the hotel. It was also to far from the town and action for my taste. I would say it was catering for the Korean market rather Han the European. Having said that, it's ok for […] the price. Read more

The quality of service was not the greatest. When we arrived, there was some confusion over the booking even thoough I provided the receipt. It was after 2pm and we still had to wait a while for our room. The reception desk spoke poor english. We were there for 1 night only and we had a 7am tour booked the next morning, so we wanted to maximize our […] time at the pool. We didn't get to our room until after 4pm. The pool staff were super friendly and the pool was amazing- the whole reason we booked the hotel for the night. The next morning when we were leaving, many of the hotel staff watched us struggle with our suitcases going gown and up several flights of stairs (even though there was an elevator, still couldn't avoid stairs to the room) and not one offered to help. The hotel was gorgeous but for Thailand, we expected friendlier service. Read more

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and all I can say was that the service and the views were just out of this world. What an amazing holiday and I have nothing negative to say about this hotel. Booked though hotels.com and no problems with our reservation we even got an upgrade! Thank-you for an amazing week that we'll remember for ever and ever!

An oasis overlooking the sea! Awesome location just a 5 minute tuk tuk from the crazy busy centre of phuket and all the bars etc that I didn't want to o to anyway

3 star hotel in great location

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed at this hotel for five nights in January 2013 in the honeymoon suite. To sum up the experience, Kalima was superb! The staff were helpful and even assisted us in locating some lost property. The resort facilities were new and well maintained. The breakfast buffet is worth separate mention as it is located on a beautiful open deck overlooking […] the Andaman Sea, so you'll be treated to a sea view every morning whilst enjoying a fresh and delicious breakfast. The resort's pool was a stunning infinity pool which shares the view of the Andaman Sea and includes a swim up pool bar! There is also an on site spa which offered very professional services to help us relax and unwind during our trip. The hotel is not located directly on Patong beach but is only a five minute drive away (and the hotel has a helpful shuttle bus service to transport you to and from Patong). For us this was ideal as it provided easy access Phuket's attractions whilst still being able to enjoy a peaceful night in. Overall, I would definitely recommend this resort to my friends and family and will visit again on my next trip to Phuket! Read more

We stayed at the hotel from Dec 28th to Jan 7th. The room was beautiful, but I would never stay there agian, as there are way to many hills and stairs.. To get up to our room, we had to go in a lift to one floor then walk up and across then down some stairs to get to our side of the hotel, then we had to go up another set of stairs to go into the other […] lift just to get to our room.. and it was the same sinario to get to the pool and the resturant. The pool is just over rated, I am only 5ft 2 and the water level only came up to my chest level. The mini golf is a joke as there is a little patch of grass but it is like scattered grass so there is no way you could play. The man made beach was hilarious just a little patch of sand right up top on the higest level of the hotel. The staff were nice and the food was ok but there is plenty of other hotels closer to patong and much much nicer. Read more

This hotel has lots of potential with an amazing location but at the moment is not ready for business. Many things are not working. For example the honeymoon suite has a jacuzzi that was not working, a toilet bowl that got stuck on our second day there. Was upgraded to a villa and the jacuzzi was again not working and all the lights in pool area were […] also broken. Staff are not trained well and spoke little English and could not even understand me when I asked for a straw. Only bright spot was a senior manager called Lip who was EXCELLENT in trying to fix problems he wasn't responsible for. Read more

Great hotel with a fantastic pool. The hotel is new and some finishing touches are still being made however these are now minor and I didn't notice the builders there. Great breakfast with a wide variety of food including an egg station where the chef will cook to your liking. We stayed in a grand delux sea view room and it was worth the upgrade. Tip...delux […] rooms have no view at all only of the other rooms. Rooms were cleaned daily and were large and spacious great rain shower. The pool was great although could do with some more sun beds. The hotel is located on a hill with nothing in walking distance a taxi to patong is 300 baht each way and so we spent around £24 a day on taxis however I wouldn't let this stop me staying here again as it was nice to get away from the busy patong of a evening. The 18 hole mini golf and the sand beach are not really there i dont think they should be advertised at all as it made no difference to us but both were laughable! The thai restaurant was superb, the food service and overall experience was the best we found in thailand. (as well as Joes Downstairs a lovely restaurant with fantastic sunset views!) Overall I loved this hotel would recommend it anyone but especially couples, (a lot of stairs to navigate) the staff were lovely and I would certainly return. I loved my stay in phuket. Read more

Great hotel, great value - We usually try to spend only a small amount of time in Patong to get shopping done etc, however this resort makes an extended stay fantastic.

I arrived to the hotel after a long flight and was delighted with the room.it was huge andnicely decorated.limited sea view.the room however defenitely need some touch ups as it didn't seem to be finished. The bathroom was filthy however, with toilet not having being cleaned and hairs all over the bathroom.the bath tub was dirty.I went to the reception […] desk and told then and expected to be changed to another room on the same level as it was past midnight when I arrived.the receptionists however asked me to go back to the room and that they would send a. leaner.he arrived at 12.15 and I had to sit in the room waiting,exhausted and embarrassed, while he cleaned the bathroom.it wasn't the best of experiences and I felt it was unprofessional.I told the reception staff about this the following morning but they didnt have the best English and couldn't understand.the pool was lovely and the breakfast was amazing in the top floor with a wonderful view.there us still some construction work going on and there is an occasional sewage smell, but it will be a nice hotel when finished.

Although this resort is still in the process of construction my husband and I had a most enjoyable stay for two weeks, although a little noisy at times with the work going on, this resort will be stunning when all finished.

I would definately not recommend staying at this hotel. I only just returned home after staying a week at Kalima Resort. When we arrived they mixed up our room and couldnt provide us the room that we booked. They didnt show us any of the resort facilities, only a few days into our stay did we find the gym and we had to request where our included breakfast […] would be as we were not even shown where the restaurant was. The whole resort is under construction. This meant that every morning we were woken up with drilling and machinery noise extremely loud just outside our balcony. The driveway and stairs to the hotel were not even finished being built yet. And if we wanted to relax by the pool, the construction workers were looking over and all you can hear is banging noises and machinery, not relaxing in the slightest!! Plumbing was also an issue, the shower drain didnt work properly so we flooded the bathroom twice after a normal shower also needed the toilet repaired as it was blocked when we got the room. I had to ask for this to be fixed 4 times before it got done. Room service was terrible, not only was the food mediocre, they got the order wrong as well. There is no way i would stay at this hotel again. Appauling!!! Read more

The hotel is still under construction, at least half of it is not ready, so very noisy and lots of dirt due to the on-going construction. Staff are very friendly but un-professional, the help offered by them is very limited. Also there's no life or escalator available, so you have to prepared for good stair-walk. The hotel locate out of Patong downtown, […] so you'll have to pay THB200-300 per way to get to the town, but the view and room design of the hotel is very magnificent. Breakfast is just average, but there's lots of trees surrounding, be prepared for mosquito repellent or you can get serious bits. Read more

The hotel looked amazing on the pictures at Expedia, and also on the hotel's own website. However, when I got there, it was one gigantic muddy building site. Plus, the hotel looked quite different from the pictures! I looked again on the pictures online, and it seems that the pictures we're not real pictures but created with the computer or something. Staff […] advised that the hotel was not going to be ready until next year 2013 (now August 2012). The pool bar was not even there yet, a lot of things we're not ready plus the room I was booked in was right next to a whole bunch of rooms that we're still be constructed with drilling and hammering during the day. And a giant mess everywhere. They should have not taken any bookings until it was pleasant to stay there and work had been completed. Or sold it at a cheap price and clearly advising people that it was still in construction before booking. I'm sure once it is ready it can be a very nice hotel, although a little further from Patong Beach but this time, it was very disappointing! Read more

После длительного поиска, мы с возлюбленным остановились именно на этом отеле по нескольким причинам. Во первых, он находится в уединении от шума на самом побережье пляжа Калим, и в тоже время в 7 минутах езды от центровых точек развлечений острова. Во вторых, поскольку это совершенно новый отель, мы ожидали чистых номеров, бассейнов...и внимательного […] обслуживания, и наши ожидания абсолютно оправдались. Кроме того, при бронировании отеля мы заметили, что он не пользуется популярностью у российских сограждан, а нам как раз хотелось побыть в совершенно отстраненной от России остановке. Территория отеля небольшая, но очень органичная. Номер (мы остановились в Grand Deluxe Sea View) с прекрасным видом, уютный и просторный. Персонал отеля предупредительный, внимательный и отзывчивый. Питание тоже достойное. Единственным минусом было отсутствие у отеля собственного пляжа. Но мы ездили на ближайшие пляжи и отдыхали у отельного бассейна - с него открывается прекрасный вид на побережье. Read more

전반적으로 모두 마음에 들었습니다. 일단 직원들이 무척 친절하고 서비스가 좋아서 즐거운 휴가를 보낼 수 있었어요. 한가지 단점이라면 셔틀이 있긴 하지만 대부분 저녁에 빠통으로 나갔다가 아주 늦게 돌아오기 때문에 저녁 5시 마지막 셔틀은 조금 불편했습니다. 리조트로 돌아오는 택시는 모두 단합된 요금으로 300 바트였습니다.

Dans l'ensemble nous avons été plutôt satisfait mais cela n'as pas durer longtemps... Le gros point noir est qu'il y avait trop de Français !!!!!!

整體來說是舒服的. 但出入真的比較不方便, 每次來或回芭東也要300銖. 而且上, 下班時間會很塞車. 房間夠大, 但完全不覺得是2012年8月新開的, 我房的房門有損壞的呢..住了4個晚上, 空調都會發出很奇怪的聲音.
