Kalima Resort & Spa, Phuket

There is a Chinese speaker CS at reception, good for those not good at English. Only a bad experience at breakfast restaurant in the last day of stay, I wear a Thai style tube long silk dress, the Manager named AOD, did not allow this type of dressing and asked me to change or cover their dress. His eyes and facial expression are full of discrimination. Maybe he think that I am not able to speak English as there were many Mainland China people, but I am from HK instead. I then went back to my room to change the dress and called for operation to ask if any dress code, the reply is no as long as it is comfortable. How can a Thai place not comfortable with a Thai style dress? After my complaint, that Manager would like to say apology to me but so sorry, I do not feel he is honestly to do so. I must report to the hotel for his impoliteness and discrimination at first.

I hade a amazing stay, all the staff where very professional. The pool was great had awesome time at the roof top bar with tee, kickboxing lesson where good, even a cool mini golf course in the back. I was super quit at night very enjoyable. Security at front. I would definitely return to this hotel

The grand room was really nice and good, food was ok, but common areas need some repair

Transportation available from hotel to center and beach of Patong

After a bit of research and reading other reviews here and on other websites we've decided to book this hotel as looked really nice and we wanted to be close to Patong Beach, check-in was smooth and staff at the front really nice, the room was really average but clean (really dark) however our view was amazing, really average breakfast (3-star), highlight of this hotel is the swimming pool! Location: you can't walk out of this hotel as it's on the main road so you need to catch a taxi which cost a lot more compared to the rest of Thailand (minimum of 300Baht for 5min drive), the hotel has a complimentary shuttle which operates 3 times per day so if you get the timing right you can get to Patong for free! Personally we wouldn't stay in this hotel again mainly because of the breakfast, if you looking fort comfort & luxury go to Amari which is the other side of Patong Beach (unfortunately in our case it was sold out).
