The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Dining Experience

Dining at Pimalai was a true delight. The buffet breakfast at the Seven Seas restaurant was a lavish spread with tons of options, allowing us to start our day right while enjoying stunning views of the ocean. We dined most evenings at Rak Talay, where the ambiance was simply amazing, with soft lighting and the sound of the waves as we savored delicious dishes, including their highly recommended cocktails.

This resort offers a breathtaking beachfront location with stunning views and spacious villas, perfect for relaxation. The service is exceptional, with staff anticipating needs and providing personal touches. Dining is a highlight with diverse and delicious options, though more variety during breakfast could enhance the experience.

Pimalai Resort is a slice of paradise! The stunning grounds and immaculate accommodations provide a tranquil escape. The staff are truly exceptional, treating you like friends. While the dining experience is fantastic, the prices can be a bit much, and the location is fairly isolated, which may not suit everyone's taste. The beach is beautiful, but some areas can get crowded during peak times.
