“Very good stay”

We stayed at the Palms for two weeks, during rainy season. It was a great price for a two bed apartment with two bath rooms, plus a kitchen with pool access. Normally we go all inclusive so wanted a kitchen so we could have breakfast/lunches etc. Kitchen didn't have a microwave which would have been handy, but had enough plates and glasses for four. No oven glove. There is also no washing machine which was showed in some photos and reviews. If you go out the back door there's a wee laundry place. Location was very good with a short walk to the beach and the main road (use Google maps as there's shortcuts to the big c and stuff which we didn't find out until later on!) lots of places to eat near by and shops. They provide a housekeeping service each day and even when we were up late they would still sometimes do our room and if not they would hang the water and toilet rolls on our door. My hubby checked under the bed before we were leaving and it was very dirty, inside the wardrobes weren't that clean either but other than that it was fine. We managed to plug the firestick into the living room TV which helped on those rainy nights. WiFi would sometimes go down and there was a few power cuts in Kamala due to the weather. Pool was always clean and a few times I sat in the loungers where there was cushions available. The gym was closed for a refit while we were there. You access the hotel through Ann's restaurant, reception staff were OK the guy being the best, the girls weren't as welcoming. Safety deposit boxes are in the office, they will give you one you can use and you just had the key back when you leave. This place was ideal for the our first time in Thailand, value for money and altho not a fancy resort near places so you could walk around town. We used bolt to get around (make sure you say to get you at the front of the palms hotel) took about 20mins to get to Patong and about 240bht.

“Value for money hotel/apartments across the road from the beach.”

The Palms is a hotel and apartments on the beach road at Kamala Beach. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and it was value for money. The apartment was spacious, ground floor with access to the pool directly from our balcony. The apartment had two bathrooms, a kitchen with a large fridge and all tea coffee making facilities. The room was relatively quiet, though on occasions people were on the pool after the 8pm pool closing time. The pool is long and not that deep, more a wading pool, it is though very beautiful and clean. The gym is disappointing, with most of cardio equipment, like the treadmill, not working or simply being very old. There are free weights. The Palms has a bar and restaurant, but we found there are many better bars and restaurants elsewhere on the beach. The Palms restaurant was the only restaurant we went to that had a 10 percent surcharge for service - hence we only went there once. The staff at The Palms were very friendly and efficient.

“Great value in the heart of Kamala”

Stayed over the new year rooms are great sized amenities a little dated ( full kitchen but no microwave ) building and facilities are kept clean and tidy. Rooms cleaned well but forgot to replace towels a couple of times ( easily fixed with a call to reception). Pool was nice
