I stayed at Kamala Dreams for two weeks at the end of April and the start of May. It is low season, so there were very few guests at the hotel. I chose Kamala Beach over the other locations because many commenters noted it is a family beach. There were correct that many young couples with babies and strollers roamed the small beach walkway in front of the shops and restaurants. There are a couple of bars, but they are low-key. Kamala also has some surfing. There were a couple of days when a storm came through, and folks were renting boards to surf with the locals. There are two open-air food courts with authentic Thai food at excellent prices. One is right down from Kamala Dreams. Walk out the back of the hotel to the right hugging the orange dive shop building wall to the parking lot with all the tents where the cooks do their magic. The second food court is just off the beach, 50 meters further down the beach from the white Tsunami Warning tower. Likes: -The room was large with a desk area, cabinets, a lounger chair, and a king-size bed. The sheets were reasonable quality with no stains, and the pillows were firm and full. -The A/C worked well. -Small kitchen area with sink, fridge, microwave, and electric kettle. -The glass doors out to the porch are tinted with privacy glass. -The porch is terrific for hanging out by the pool if you are on the first floor. -The bathroom is fine with a water heating unit. -The wifi worked well. -The breakfast included several choices, with the banana pancake leading the way. :) Not So Great: I assumed that the hotel being on the beach would mean they would have their own umbrellas and beach chairs. This is NOT the case for any of the hotels on Kamala Beach. There are sections of the beach with umbrellas and chairs that you can rent. They don't seem to be connected to any of the hotels. The bottom line is that Kamala Dreams is a three-star hotel not at the developed end of the beach, so no one seemingly cleans the beach or has shops or activities. As others point out in these reviews, you walk out the back of Kamala Dreams, turn right, and cross the small bridge over the drainage canal to access the clean beach, umbrellas/loungers for rent, other hotels, food stalls, etc. The drainage canal is polluted, so you want to avoid entering the sea near the hotel. Walk down the beach to umbrella areas to do your swimming. The cleanest part of the beach is down where the Novotel and the InterContinental are. And as nice as these hotels are, they do not have beach chairs or umbrellas either. Final Thoughts: Jan, the manager, was out of the country during my stay. However, I reached out to her because of problems with the pool. She immediately had a crew out to make repairs over a couple of days. Thanks, Jan! There are two upscale hotels just down from Kamala Dreams. They are nicely designed and offer music several nights a week. Even though it was low season, the pool areas were packed daily. I much
