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.
