Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel – SHA Extra Plus Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel – SHA Extra Plus, you immediately notice how the lobby opens up to those stunning Andaman Sea views. This four-star property sits right on Kamala Beach, and I mean literally — you can practically roll out of bed onto the sand. The whole place has this relaxed Thai charm without being overly flashy, which honestly feels refreshing after seeing so many cookie-cutter resorts around Phuket. The beachfront location is truly one of the property’s greatest assets.
The Perfect Spot
What really struck me about this location is how it manages to feel secluded while still being accessible. Kamala Beach is that sweet spot between the party chaos of Patong and the complete isolation of some northern beaches. You’ve got the famous FantaSea show just down the road, but when you want quiet time, the beach here is surprisingly peaceful. The hotel scored an 8.9 for location, and honestly, I get it — couples especially seem to love having their own little slice of paradise without feeling cut off from everything. This balance makes it ideal for various traveler types.
Room with a View
My room faced the ocean, and waking up to those sunrise colors reflecting off the water was pretty spectacular. The accommodations are comfortable without being fancy — think clean lines, decent space, and that crucial air conditioning that actually works well. You know what I appreciated? The balcony was big enough to actually sit on with your morning coffee, not just one of those tiny ledges some places try to pass off as outdoor space. Each room is thoughtfully designed for guest comfort.
Food and Facilities
The breakfast buffet covers all the bases — Asian options if you want to dive into local flavors, American standards for those who need their familiar morning fuel. The restaurant does solid Thai food, though I’d recommend venturing into the village for dinner sometimes since there are some fantastic local spots within walking distance. There’s a fitness center that’s basic but functional, and they’ve got ping-pong tables and a playground if you’re traveling with kids. The free parking is actually a bigger deal than you might think — finding a decent spot along this stretch of coast can be a real headache otherwise. These facilities enhance the overall guest experience significantly.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it doesn’t try too hard. You’re getting solid beachfront access, reliable service, and a location that gives you options without the premium price tag of some five-star properties. The 7.9 rating reflects exactly what you’d expect — it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s not going to disappoint either. For couples looking for a romantic getaway or families wanting easy beach access, Princess Kamala Beachfront delivers on the essentials while letting Kamala Beach’s natural beauty do the heavy lifting. The property represents excellent value for discerning travelers.

Reviews of Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel – SHA Extra Plus
Kalima from Bahrain (8/10)
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.

we went with another couple who paid the same rate as we did, however they got a suite and we got a room. this was a little disappointing.
Mykola from Denmark (7/10)
Location is good, close to the beach and good restaurants
Housekeepers are super niceKaren 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.
