Cozy room with everything inside the room

Good value for money.

Reviewed By OzBee

Good value for money. The hotel is clean, and is either new or recently renovated. Staff are friendly and helpful. Conveniently located on high street, about 10 minute walk to beach. If you stay here, a good, inexpensive place to eat is the noodle shop directly opposite. Next to the 7/11 on the right.

Oasis of calm in amongst the bustle of Kamala, Phuket

Reviewed By TallulahR66

We stayed at the Naka Resort in March 2020. We were looking for a small, inexpensive base to allow us to travel about whilst we were in Phuket. The Naka was absolutely perfect for this – not however if you prefer not to use taxis to get about or a hire car/scooter. We hired a scooter from Jane who runs the Naka for 300BHT per day. The pool is quite small, but easily large enough for a cooling dip after a day exploring or at the beach. There’s a shower poolside so you can wash down before you jump in. The gardens around the pool are absolutely beautiful, exotic palms and flowers which attract black squirrels and birds- the bird song is amazing first thing (it doesn’t disturb sleep however). The property in on 3 floors, there is no lift. The stairs however aren’t at all steep. Our room on the 2nd floor was more than adequate for the 2 of us. It was very spacious. The bed was clean and comfortable as was the room. There was a TV on the wall , mainly US channels . We didn’t use it. There was a hair dryer and tea/coffee making facilities as well as a full size fridge! We bought our own refreshments rather than utilise the mini bar. You were provided with 2 free bottles of drinking water each day when the maid serviced the room. The shower was clean, hot and powerful. The bathroom did have some courtesy products in it which we didn’t use. There was a large balcony, 2 chairs and a table and the ability to dry clothes on it. There was a working safe in the room too. A laundry service is available - there are laundry outlets everywhere in Kamala too- very inexpensive! Jane provided beach towels – we used these and dropped them back when we felt they could do with a wash. They are left poolside so everyone can help themselves. Breakfast in the communal kitchen area was a buffet with lots of choices. Fresh fruit and juices, water, milk, a coffee machine and tea. Toaster, breads and baked products (assorted) as well as the choice of options for a breakfast-cooked fresh by Jane again. We had no complaints about the breakfast . In the evening we’d ask Jane or another staff member to book a taxi for us to Kamala or Patong etc. They arrived very quickly . It was about 200BHT to Kamala and 300BHT return later in the evening. The taxis are air conditioned but the Tuk Tuks of course are open air. There are several supermarkets in Kamala which sell the obvious. The Big C also does take away. There’s lots of markets, street food sellers too as well as numerous bars, restaurants etc. to choose from whatever your taste. You cannot walk into Kamala or Patong. The road isn’t safe on foot. If you want to visit the beautiful beaches – and you should hire a scooter or car or be prepared to pay taxis. Visit Surin beach, it’s nicer in my opinion than Kamala. Karon is gorgeous too – eat at Daeng’s beach hut if you go there. Patong, well you have to see the walking street there yourself. Take a trip to see Big Buddah and our, well my highlight was the Green Elephant Sanctuary. It was about £66 each, extraordinary value . The elephants and tourists are NOT exploited unlike other venues who claim to do similar. Food isn’t expensive , but it’s not ridiculously cheap these days either – a large Chang is about 100 BHT. The wine is actually good. If you want a recognisable bottle however be prepared to pay for it. It’s much more expensive. There are cocktails everywhere, they’re cheap but we were cautious about the ice. Street food is cheap and very tasty- you have to give it a try . When in Rome etc. Jane is a wonderful host. Her team work hard and the Naka is a delight. We have nothing negative to report only praise and thanks for such a fab stay. It was our second visit to Thailand and by far our favourite. To note depending on your taste/interests Cafe Del Mar Phuket is in Kamala and Fanta Sea too. Both are a taxi ride . Look them up. A taxi to the airport was about 500BHT.

B-Happy-Resort

The resort with a little Restaurant for breakfast and lunch is located in a quiet area of Kamala and yet within minutes you are in the middle of life with bars, restaurants and shopping. And the very famous Phuket fantasy is in the immediate vicinity. The beach is about 8 to 10 minutes on foot. But we offer (especially in the high season) a free Shutleservice to the beach. At the same time, we have our own taxiservice and a Scooter rental. We are available with tips and ideas for tours, excursions, restaurants and whatever

All you need as a backpacker

Reviewed By TeroP117

Resort is nearby Kamala-beach, only 5 min walk. It is close to main road,but still far enough to not hear noises from bars, restaurants or vehicles. Owner-couple is very friendly and they do all that you feel welcome and will assist you with any conserns. Room was clean and from shower you get hot water aswell. Room was aswell cleaned every day. I stayed in Kamala with my girlfriend for 2 nights and we were very pleasent about The resort. Nothing to complain. Fair Price and all you need If not Even More you expect as a backpacker. If going again to Kamala I will definitely book nights from here again!

Excellent hotel, excellent value

Reviewed By bgbr

Great hotel, quiet back street, yet close to the beach, restaurants and supermarket. Very clean, big room, feels like home. The manager (Zen) is very friendly and does her best for the guests. No breakfast in the morning, but several restaurants nearby, which can satisfy all your breakfast preferences.

Kamala Beach Residence SHA Extra Plus

Happy family’s place

Reviewed By StrandqvistOfSweden

A small hotel not to far from the beach in Kamala. Nice air conditioned rooms with refrigerator and free WiFi. The host is very welcoming and helpful and you feel at home. As we were there, they where renovating and when they are finished it will be A great place to stay. They do lack a pool, but the walk to the beach is 8 minutes so if you can bear with that, you’ll have value for the money.

Peter Kamala Guesthouse

Great Place

Reviewed By Andy W

A great room with pool outside. Unfortunately we were only there for one night and didn't experience the full effect of the guest house or location. The "owner" I believe is from Norway/Sweden (blue flag/yellow cross?) and wife is Thai, the same as my wife. We walked to the top of the road and found a great restaurant (Popeyes) for thai food. This is a good place for the beach, and was populated by English and Ozzie tourists who seemed to like the place too. The 700 baht fee was reasonable. The room was pretty good, my wife had difficulty with getting the shower to run warm but I soon discovered the switch.
