Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Pimalai Resort & Spa from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean villas, some featuring private plunge pools and offering gorgeous water views, although the hillside location might involve a bit of a walk to the beach. The breakfast buffet stands out, especially the eggs benedict, and the ability to easily walk into town via the beach to access local restaurants, bars, and a 7-11 is a definite plus. Dining experiences receive high marks, especially the beach BBQ, however the air conditioning in some rooms was mentioned as blowing directly onto the bed. The Chairman Villa spans over 600m2, boasting three large rooms and very large bathrooms.

An lovely hillside retreat

The hilltop villa we had was clean and spacious. I remember waking up to super comfortable beds and our own private pool beckoned. Two terraces gave us great relaxation spots with gorgeous views. Luxury reached a new level for me.

The language barrier occasionally presented a slight hiccup, though staff always tried their best.

mixed feelings due to communication issues

language barriersubpar services

The resort itself is beautiful. The rooms are nice and clean. however, at the price point, a premium experience is necessary, and this was lacking. spa services fell short of expectations, but the language barrier was the biggest issue. i encountered constant miscommunications, with staff frequently needing assistance to translate. this made simple requests difficult and sometimes impossible to resolve. It was a frustrating experience.

The breakfast was rich! It included a large buffet. The hotel provides well-organized transfers from the airport. It is a one-hour car ride and a ten-minute boat ride followed by forty minutes by car.

I think the spa services were subpar. There were communication issues with the staff. It was difficult. I felt that there were language barriers.
