Ko Yao Yai Scuba Diving Vacations

We have stayed here several times and the hotel staff continue to be the reason we return; from the personalized Christmas card in the room to the beautiful Birthday wishes waiting in the room to the non-stop smiles and willingness to provide information. The rooftop pool/bar is awesome and a welcome break from the busy beach across the street

Friendly staff, clean room, and pool.

The hotel is a little distance from Patong Beach (although the hotel provides a shuttle bus). The hotel does not have its own beach. The hotel is beside a highway, and there are only a few restaurants nearby. It sounds as if this is not the best holiday hotel choice,right? But you just need to check in.Then you will find that this is a surprisingly good hotel.Because the hotel is located on the hillside, the sea view is very spectacular. The staff are all friendly and always have a smile.With a person with limited mobility the front desk team Joe Sordy and LOH took extra care of us. And lovely Ms.Noodang at breakfast restaurant was so kind to us.She not only explained everything in detail. And make sure our table is clean and the cups are full.She also took the initiative to recommend us and sent us the special dessert of the day. Then let's talk about the breakfast.Hotels in Thailand have never short of a good breakfast.But the breakfast at Kalima is unbelievable.Whether it is the variety or the quality of food.For example you may find bubble breakfast in many hotels.But Kalima take it to an other level.You can even make your own highball here.Such a good breakfast plus a good view what else could you ask for a holiday?

Beautiful hotel and location. Only thing I felt it lacked was evening entertainment.

Nice resort with Villaa spread out over a beautiful garden. Lots of privacy if you book a pool villa, less so on the main pool as the resort is clearly better suited for families with screaming kids than for couples seeking relaxation. Buffet breakfast with great service station where you can order Asian or European dishes. View from main pool is the best feature (incredible beautiful). Overall restaurants are ok but Rawai is only a 5min cab ride away and offers better quality and scenery. Spa is ok but offers only two facials (hydration & anti-Aging). Villas are a bit outdated but the view and the private pool compensates. Location close to Rawai is an asset but beach in front of hotel is ok to watch but not for swimming (high tides and water always muddy). Majority of guests are families from Russia, Australia and UK so expect a lively conversation across sunbeds. Overall I would I would consider this more a decent 4**** and not a 5***** property. Great when you have kids, not so much for couples or solo travellers.

Very clean. A little out of the way so i recommend having a scooter. Place was noce and clean. It had a kitchenette but no utensils or pots to make food with not even a knife. Other than that beautiful place nice and quiet few minutes on a scooter restaurant I mean street.

A SOLID hotel... Super solid... No where near a beach( that's good) and short 5 minute walk to the super lotus market.. -everything an anything you want - The staff are SENSATIONAL, the rooms awesome, every room and patio has a entrance to the property pool that runs all over.. the water in the pool was perfect temperature and showers.. huge with great water pressure The good- the property is amazing and clean, fantastic staff and layout.. The not so good ...... Beds are hard (ask for a topper), Breakfast is lackluster. But a solid place to stay..i would go back

We were greeted with warm smiles and a beautifully decorated room for our 30th Anniversary. The room was very clean (although the bed could have been a layer softer / I’m sure if we mentioned this they would have accommodated). Our favorite staff was the pool bartender “Arm” and also Kaheow (main greeter at breakfast) always happy, positive and went out of their way to be sure we had everything we needed! The massages were AMAZING with Vi!!!!!!! Location was perfect! Quiet even though action surrounded us!
