We stayed here to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond by decorating the bed on arrival and again on his actual birthday, as well as leaving a birthday cake, which was a lovely touch.

The room was clean, spacious, and the facilities were excellent. The complex is quite large, so we did get lost a few times, but this didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Breakfast offered an amazing variety with something for everyone—we were truly spoiled for choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the free shuttle bus service provided by the hotel was very convenient.

Overall, a very enjoyable stay and I would definately visit again.

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?

We booked the Duplex private Pool villa and it was worth every penny. The highlight was the Sandy beach where my husband and I played badminton. The views were incredible and the food at Malika was great. The staff decorated our room super well. Patong beach was fun and about 15 minutes away (the hotel has a few shuttles there and back everyday)

Special shoutout to Tony who helped us get our payment to the Grab driver (long story short, we didn't have enough cash and the grab payment method wouldn't update to card) and to Baw for helping us with our luggage and being super courteous. Would highly recommend staying here

I booked this property as a Expedia Gold member for the VIP room upgrade. I was advised there is no rooms available to upgrade, however a quick search online showed they had 3 rooms available! Very shifty and money hungry. They should not join the Expedia VIP program if they have no intention of participating. I wouldn’t of booked this hotel had I known I won’t be afforded my benefits.

Kalima Resort & Spa was located right beside Patong beach and we could see the entire ocean view from our room! There were many restaurant and bar nearby, easy to get a grab driver to explore around Phuket. Breakfast was fantastic with wide variety of choices. The resort also provide free shuttle service to JungCeylon Shopping mall, which is just a 10 mins drive away. Overall it was a pleasant stay with my family.

Front staff are not helpful and they force you to wait for 3pm check in even if your room is ready, so there’s a huge group of people there squeezing in at 3.

The rooms do not have good sound isolation at all. The housekeeping Nextdoor or upstairs sounds like something is slamming on the walls. Also the power disconnects in the middle of the night and causes the “smart” tv to turn on and start blasting its welcome music over the night

Seaview room review
Im not sure if all seaview rooms are situated at the front of the resort but our rooms were so traffic noise was unavoidable. First room was in block 1 and second was in block 2. We had a terrible broken sleep during our stay.
On our first stay in Kalima (2 years ago) we had a room in block 5 which is at the back of the resort and it was peaceful and we had a view overlooking Patong Bay and this also was the view from the bath tub. It was spectacular! We much preferred that stay due to peaceful days and nights and a lovely outlook at night overlooking Patong Bay with the building lights as a back drop.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!

There are far better places to stay in Patong or nearby in Kamala that are better for your money. The check-in is widely unorganized…bags just lying everywhere in the lobby scattered unsecured. The rooms were unimpressive. Look out on the balcony of the ocean but it’s ruined by the trash cluttered from being thrown down from higher rooms. The location is also terrible. It’s located on a hill around a bend, so the walk ability is dangerous and far from anything good.

Then the business itself are just flat out liars. No honor to their word. Had an emergency to check out earlier and they agreed to let me pay a cancellation fee. They agreed to me in person and also to Expedia. A week later they went back on their word and charged the entire stay instead. Expedia had to send me an apologetic letter stating the hotel changed their minds. Worst Thailand hospitality ever. Just avoid and stay at a better place.

The Kalima is definitely a 5 star property in every aspect. The hotel itself is beyond beautiful with stunning sky views. We ate at all of their restaurants and was delighted with the food and dining experience. We didn’t have time to explore all the amenities but they had so much to offer for everyone staying, friends , couples and families. The staff were so kind and accommodating. The infinity pools were perfect temperature, beautiful views and open late with a pool bar. Although it is a large hotel we still did not feel as though it was crowded as the rooms are spaced out very well. Location was perfect for us as we got to enjoy the quiet aspect with local shops away from the busy areas such as Bangla road but still visit nightly as it’s a short journey away. It is priced exceptionally well for what you get this is the best value for money hotel I’ve stayed at. Not one single complaint.

Really enjoyed staying at this resort! My husband had already been 10 years ago so it was a must we came for our honeymoon. There were lots of different food options, spa and pool was really relaxing and never super busy. The room was always kept in the best condition and staff were very hospitable, always having a smile on their faces. Food was also halal which was a big plus point for us. Only downside outside the resort on the road there wasn’t a footpath so you would be walking on the main road however there are plenty of transport options to get from one place to another!

Lovely property perched high overlooking patong beach. Far enough away to avoid the noise and crowds of patong. Plenty of taxi options and hotel has free shuttle to get to the beach BUT it’s not walkable unless you are super fit as it’s a steep road up to the hotel and there are a lot of steps! Only two restaurants within easy walking distance right outside hotel. Both excellent but highly recommend Ab Zab for delicious cheap local food

They have mini bar, and snacks that are free! The rain fall shower was amazing. Breakfast was included with our room and it was buffet style! It was really good food and a nice variety! I feel Iike they could have had more activities at the resort. However, didn’t take away from our stay. It is a ways from anything and everything. You will have to use a Tuk tuk or taxi or rent a bike. The property was super safe and luxurious. The staff were nice- but they didn’t go above and beyond, no need to either.

I liked almost everything about the place, the staff were polite and provided great service, the place was clean, there were many facilities available, the room was clean and had a great view and I really enjoyed the mini golf and archery. However, a few minor setbacks I found was that not every part of the resort was accessible by lifts, while I am okay climbing several flights of stairs, some may not be. Additionally, another aspect I didn't quite enjoy was the breakfast buffet. There was a large range of food but they didn't really match my taste and the bakery items did seem off.
