A fantastic resort on a beautiful spot; On top of rocks with GREAT view. Right on the water, next to palms & rainforest and close enough to the city of Chaweng to get there in less than 10 min... and yet, at a safe distance to the disco´s and bars.

Breakfast from heaven - go for he 26th degree menu!
Good restaurant with excellent foods. However, a bit pricy - especially considering the prices in fine restaurants in Chaweng.

The view from the infinity pool and sundecks is terrific and the free usage of kayaks made exercise easy and fun. Great snorkling is possible right at the hotel...

Mosquitoes can be a challenge to begin with, but good repellant will keep them away, and we only had the problem around dusk.

All in all, this place is a real gem - Go there!

This was the first hotel to mark our round the world trip. This was a last minute change for us due to deciding to stay away fom flood affected Bangkok.

We are so glad we made this decision. On check in we were sat down and given a tropical drink which was a nice way to start. After being shown to our room we were very impressed with it. It was a fairly large room with a beautiful bathroom. It was dark however and as we were tired we called it a night. In the morning we awoke to beautiful views!

Hanging around the resort is very relaxing. We found the place very welcoming and the staff very friendly. I was even given a birthday cake after staff noticed it was my birthday!

We booked a private car with driver through the hotel on 3 occasions. First was to venture round the island. We had a driver called Jack. He was very friendly and had a really nice day with him taking us to various places around the island. Well worth it! Our second was a transfer was to Chaweng and our final to the airport for departure. I can't remember the exact prices but they were reasonable.

All up great island, great hotel with great staff! Fantastic way to start our round the world trip!

Before becoming a favorite tourist destination, Samui used to be a sleepy fisherman town, where there were countless number of coconut trees. I had a chance to visit Samui when I was in high school almost 30 years ago. I remembered lodging in a small bungalow owned by my friend's father. Even though there were several inconveniences of reaching Samui and staying there, my memory of Samui is quite pleasant. A few weeks ago, I had a chance to return to Samui, and chose to stay at the Kala resort. Several things at the Kala resort reminded me of Samui of the old days. First of all, the staff were friendly and helpful. I particularly like my Deluxe room, which is modeled after a traditional Southern Thai room with modern facilities, of course. The room has wide glass doors and a fabulous unobstructed sea view. If the doors are open from late at night to early in the morning, you can turn off the air conditioner and experience cool sea breeze. In addition, I like the attempt by the resort management to be evironmentally friendly. Also, small unique things that gave me much impression were coconut soap and coconut jam because I am an avid coconut lover. One disadvantage of this resort may be its lack of beach front. However, that was no big deal to me because a short walk would take me to a public beach. If I would like to go to a faraway beach, I could easily ask for a service of a resort car. Unfortunately, my stay at Kala resort was quite short. I am looking for a longer stay the next time I go to Samui.

We enjoy our stay in this beautiful and calm resort, and we are very greatful for all their efforts and kindness, the room was perfect, the restaurant was great too!
Chilling at the swimming pool was terrific with an amazing view on the sea.
Delicious breakfast, I advice you the 26th degree menu for more energy in the morning.
You can also borrow a kayak to go directly to the beach.
