Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

Great hotel. 3rd time at this beautiful resort, food is amazing, very chill. It’s a not easy to get to town, so if you plan to stay here keep in mind that you won’t be in and out of the resort. But it has a great beach and many activities to just stay there.

This was the best hotel we stayed in Thailand. It had the wow factor, location was the best, we preferred to stay the whole time at the hotel as it was too good to leave, even our 12 and 15 year old missed it after we left it 4 nights later. We snorkelled every day from the hotel marina. They have a few shuttle to main area everyday, we ate 2 meals at the hotel and one meal we had when we went in, there is either an option to stay in town for 3.5 hrs till the next shuttle arrives or 20-25 mins if you want to quickly oder pizza and shake for take away in the restaurant right where the Jamahkiri shuttle parks near their office. Breakfast is very good. This hotel has a lot of character. If we come to Thailand again then I would fly straight to Kho Samui and catch the Lomprahaya boat to Kho Tao. We really regret that we did not do scuba diving and hope to utilise it next time. This hotel won't be good for people who cannot walk up and down stairs, it will give your heart a work out. This was our favourite stay in Thailand.

The only CON of staying at this hotel is the STAIRS! I liked the exercise, but I had to climb 148 steps up and 16 steps down to get from my room to the restaurant. Also, the shower was a little slippery. They could maybe invest in some bath mats for guests to stand on so the shower floor isn't so slippery. Other than that, I absolutely loved staying at this hotel. My spacious room with a balcony and view of the ocean was spectacular. I liked the pool - although it didn't cool me off. It was too warm. The food at the restaurant was good (not great), but I was fine with it. You can rent snorkeling gear or kayaks down at the "beach" in front of the hotel, which was super convenient. I EVEN SWAM WITH A GREEN SEA TURTLE after being told that they sometimes hang out in the water in front of the hotel. I was in the water for about 2 hours before I spotted it, but it was worth it! The staff - all of them - were AMAZING!!! They were constantly checking on me to make sure I had everything I needed. The hotel is not close to the main part of town, so you have to take a taxi to go back and forth, but that's exactly what I wanted - peace, quiet and solitude. I would definitely stay here again!

Great resort with great hospitality and comfort

Excellent hotel with a very good restaurant Some communication issues with the staff but everyone is very friendly and helpful. You need to have strong legs to get up and down the stairs to everything. Taxis will add up when you go into the town but some free shuttles are available. A good coffee from a proper espresso machine is worth a few extra bucks.

We booked a 2 nights stay at the hotel and enjoyed every moment spent in there. The view of the sea was exceptional. Even though the weather was not good on the last day, we were able to find things to do within the premise. The guest relations officer along with the rest of the staffs were pleasant and friendly.

Unbelievable place - amazing view from our balcony. Great free shuttle to town. Hired snorkels and spent all morning in the gorgeous bay. The staff are fabulous. The service is first class. Everywhere you turn there’s an amazing vista! Only thing I’d say - if you’re not fit you’ll struggle with the amount of steps from pool to room and room to reception. Also room to beach ! But we loved it!

Beautiful views, A LOT of stairs...(almost died walking up them every day) no beach, pool is nice, food is pretty good. Was very quiet and a lot of couples so not great for those who want a little excitement. The diving experience was sooo fun! Instructor Shaun from Australia was great. The staff were awesome. Shuttle to Mae Haad was quick and easy. Then an easy walk to Sairee beach for a lot of bars and restaurants.

This is not 4 star hotel I can't believe it. The staff at reception don't have service mind, they feel like don't want to service Thai people. on 13th Apr. the staff have pool party so noisy (they should not have party on 13th Apr.) on this day have many guests. no body want to take care guests. we went to dinner at hotel restaurant ask for table the staff lady just point finger to the table (This is they call 4 star hotel?) and the table not clean yet. The hotel staff not friendly. A resort with no beach. The staff at the pier was nice. DO NOT STAY HERE

This was a gorgeous spot. Private & exclusive with the hotel built to incorporate the cliff & landscape. The only thing that would lower the rating at all was the amount of stairs. Elderly or handicapped people would not do well here. Originally our room was 200 stairs from the lobby. The hotel was able to move our room but it was still a daily challenge for me. Otherwise this was one of the finest hotels we’ve ever been in.
