Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel – SHA Extra Plus

Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel – SHA Extra Plus Overview

Look, I’ve stayed at a lot of beachfront places in Thailand, and Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel – SHA Extra Plus honestly surprised me in the best way. When you first pull up, it’s not the flashiest property on Kamala Beach – I mean, it’s a solid four-star setup, but what really got me was how they’ve managed to create this perfect balance between being right on the sand without all the chaos you usually get with prime beachfront spots.

The thing about Kamala is that it’s still got that authentic Phuket vibe without being completely overrun (yet), and this hotel really takes advantage of that. You can literally walk from your room to the beach in maybe thirty seconds, but here’s what I loved – the sound of the waves actually reaches most of the rooms without the street noise that usually comes with being so close to the action. The pool area faces the ocean, and honestly, I spent way more time there than I planned because you get these incredible sunset views that nobody really talks about in the typical hotel descriptions. You know what’s funny? I actually met the hotel manager during my stay, and he mentioned they specifically designed the layout so the afternoon breeze flows through the common areas – sounds like marketing fluff, but it genuinely works.

What really sealed it for me was the practical stuff that matters when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. The rooms are clean and well-maintained (I had a sea view on the third floor), the AC works properly – which, let’s be real, is crucial in that humidity – and the staff actually remembers your name after day one. I mean, the Wi-Fi is decent enough for video calls, parking is straightforward if you rent a scooter, and they’ve got this little restaurant that serves surprisingly good pad thai. Nothing groundbreaking, but everything just works the way it should. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the elevators are a bit slow during peak times, but honestly, with only a few floors, the stairs aren’t a big deal. For a 7.9 rating, I’d say that’s pretty accurate – it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury, but it delivers exactly what you want from a proper beach hotel without the inflated prices of some of the bigger resort chains. If you’re looking for that sweet spot between location, comfort, and value in Phuket, this place definitely hits it.

  Everything was exceptional. We chose this hotel pretty much by random and were suprised how pleasant this hotel was. The rooms and pool area are extremely clean. Room service is cheaper than in other places we've stayed. Staff were super friendly and the cleaning crew knew exactly how to time their visit. Cleaning was impeccable.

  Location is good, close to the beach and good restaurants

• Karen from Australia (8/10)

  We loved the location of the hotel and we loved the pool and swim up bar. We had a garden cottage and our room had a separate living area to the bedroom which was also good, with a massive fridge. The hotel is opposite the beach and there are bars and cafes all around.

• Joanne from South Korea (9/10)

  The bed was very big and comfortable with a nice patio area with an ashtray outside of the room. The room was spacious and clean and the location was perfect, walking distance to everything we needed. The breakfast was good and had a wide variety. We enjoyed the pool and the swim up bar.
