Keemala

Wow, I had seen this hotel on Instagram for years and I always wanted to stay here. I was super surprised to see this was a Hilton property and you can use points or your free night certificate to be here. This was such a cool hotel. The rooms are unique and I have never stayed at a hotel that looks like this. But the customer service was beyond exceptional. I’d love to point out one employee, but I feel like all of the employees here were fantastic. They all went way above and beyond. I mean, they came to clean our room not once but twice in one day and they came to do turndown service. They had everything in the room we needed including inside and an outside shower with a bathtub. We also had a pool with our villa. The pool man came to clean while we were there. In the room, we had a fridge and a minibar, and also has a diamond member. You can have as many drinks as you want. Just not the liquor. There was also a complementary fruit bar and some snacks. Also, breakfast was exceptional. They had a great menu selection and a beautiful view. Also, they have security and check who comes in the hotel and right when you arrive. They will have a golf cart to bring you to your room. I mean, I honestly can’t say enough about this hotel. If you come and don’t like it I don’t know what to say. They were perfection and I would come back any day. This is a perfect romantic getaway and I could see anybody celebrating their honeymoon here. I came with my friend, but is still an amazing experience.

We are word travelers and I usually search for unique small boutique hotels that have a local flair and deliver with excellence. Keemala is going above and beyond our expectations: once in while during our travels, we stumble into great unique gems like Keemala that deliver on their promises at all levels: awesome friendly staff, gourmet world food and breakfast, nature and majestic landscapes and of course, THE ROOMS: we had the cottage and the nest villas. Both unique in their own way with their own cozy pool. I loved the unique character of the villas which would make the fours seasons and ritz Carltons shy away. The rates are worth just for the rooms. Sadly, we will be leaving tomorrow but take with us precious memories…. Our special word of appreciation to March and the full staff for making our stay even more special. They have mastered how to be service with their big hearts and are an example of Thai hospitality and the reason why we love Thailand. Khob khoon kha keemala team ❤️

This is our second time staying at Keemala (the first was 2022) - it has lost none of its charm or appeal. The accommodation and service is second to none. You are made to feel special from the moment you arrive, until you leave. The restaurant is also exceptional .. Thai, Indian, Middle Eastern and Western food done to a very high standard … I can recommend the Masala Dosa for breakfast - wonderful. Also worthy of special mention was March our personal villa host who looked after brilliantly during our stay, as well as Daniel who is in charge of all things Wellness & Fitness. His breathing and meditation classes (which we went to 3 times!) were an amazing experience and not to be missed if you stay at Keemala. An awesome place. We will return again.

We were fortunate enough to stay at Keemala in early January, 2025. We booked two of the tree pool houses for our family of five, including our boys, who are 19, 18 and 14. It’s an incredibly beautiful property and the food was excellent as well. We used the beach shuttle a couple of times to go to Kamala Beach and also took a tour of old town Phuket with a guide. I have nothing but good things to say. I hope someday to be back. Truly such a beautiful property. The boys really enjoyed it as well - especially their private pool and the resort pool.

My wife and I stayed here as a stop on our honeymoon for a handful of days. We can comfortably say that it was the VERY BEST resort/lodging experience we have ever had in all of the world. The property, grounds, setting, service, food, and spa were all exemplary in every way possible. There is not a single tiny thing we would have changed about our stay. We had a treehouse tent villa, and we literally had a tree in the middle of our room (confined by glass). It was otherworldly. We were absolutely blown away and still are now, even back home. We loved it so much that the only time we left the resort one time, and that was for an afternoon at the elephant sanctuary. The beach is nearby as well, but we had everything we needed at the resort. The service here was truly remarkable. It was top class and the attention to detail was unmatched in my experience. Our helper with the hotel was basically a butler on demand for anything we needed, and we were brought fresh Thai treats every afternoon. The food was absolutely incredible and the menu was too. The spa experience was the best I have ever experienced in the world, and all extremely reasonable on a western pricing scale. Everything about this place was incredible. The only minor caveat I would mention is that there are quite a bit of steps, given that the villas and rooms are literally built into a jungle/hillside. I suspect it would be a bit more difficult for ADA, but I suspect they would have provisions for those guests as well, as they have thought of absolutely everything. If you have been here in the last year or two and have a complaint about a single thing, I would urge you to look within, as the issue surely does not lie with Keemala. This place is incredible and we will be back as soon as is possible. Special shoutout to some of the staff there that were incredible and deserve raises: Sofia, Fit, Noi, and Cayla were all remarkable! I cannot say enough good things about Keemala. It was the experience of a lifetime and we will return!
