The hype
Guests are blown away by the pool and views but consistently disappointed by the housekeeping and steep taxi costs if they miss the shuttle.

Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You want a viral infinity pool moment and don't mind trading beach access for killer hillside views.
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- The infinity pool with a swim-up bar offers one of the best sunset views in Phuket
- Rooms are massive (starting at 46sqm) with deep soaking tubs
- Far enough from Patong's chaos to sleep, but close enough (via shuttle) to party
Hızlı Özet: A hillside Instagram trap that delivers on views but struggles with road noise and aging maintenance.
@lovemummahh tarafından değerlendirildi: I checked into the Private Pool Villa at Kalima Resort and was blown away. The moment I slid open the doors to my own infinity pool overlooking the ocean, I knew I never wanted to leave. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic getaway in Phuket.

Reality check
The '5-star' rating feels like a stretch due to worn furniture, moldy grout, and slow service at the pool bar.
- You prioritize pool vibes over beach swimming
- You are comfortable riding a scooter or paying for taxis
- You want a romantic sunset dinner without leaving your hotel
Temizlik & Bakım
6.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Daily service happens, but often late in the day. Balconies and corners frequently missed.
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Reports of moldy grout, loose faucets, and slow-draining tubs in standard rooms.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling paint, worn decking, and rattling AC units are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean but can be worn/graying. Beach towels run out fast.
- Odors & scents: Musty smells in ground-floor rooms due to humidity; occasional sewage whiffs near the road.

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is there a real beach?
No. There is an 'artificial sand beach' on a terrace. The actual coast is rocky. Patong Beach is a shuttle ride away.
Is it walkable to restaurants?
Not really. The road is busy with no sidewalks. You'll need a taxi or scooter to get to outside dining safely.
Does the pool get crowded?
Yes, the main infinity pool is the hotel's centerpiece and fights for sunbeds are common by 10 AM.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but check your rate. Walk-in price is approx 750 THB per adult.
Can I walk to Patong?
Technically yes (30 mins), but it's dangerous due to traffic and lack of sidewalks. Do not attempt at night.
Is it kid-friendly?
Moderately. There is a kids' club and the artificial sand area is good for toddlers, but the stairs make strollers a nightmare.

Walk 5 minutes north to 'Kalim Street Food' market in the evenings for cheap, authentic eats.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The rollaway bed fee is extortionate (listed around 5,600 THB/day in some systems—double check this!).
💡The 'sea view' in some lower rooms is mostly a view of power lines and the road.
💡Housekeeping often misses the balcony area, leaving it dusty or with bird droppings.
💡The air conditioning units in older rooms can be loud and rattle.
💡You might spot monkeys or large geckos on your balcony—keep doors shut.
