The Pela

4 Trog Lodyte - 3 years ago

A charming little oasis of calm. All low rise traditional Thai style rooms and bungalows around a lovely lush courtyard garden with two pools. The accomodation is outstanding - the bungalows are extremely well appointed with bedroom and lounge, plus terrace. TV in bedroom and lounge. Pool is a few paces from your door. The staff are charming and helpful. Was very quiet while we were there - pool bar didn't really open, but you can have whatever you want if you ask. Limited choice at table service breakfast, but very nice all the same. It's a 10 or 15 minute walk to the beach at Kamala, where there are plenty of bars and restaurants to cater for all tastes.

Really nice boutique hotel. Beautiful boutique lobby, and restaurant, as well as a really nice pool for the family. Can't wait to go back.

We spent 4 nights with our 18 month old daughter at this resort. Great front desk clerk who helped me get on gmail. The room was a pleasant surprise. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the door*** with a warm welcome. The quality and varieties of the food are must try.

The Pela was so great at accommodating our group of 12. The food was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay welcome. We got in house massages and the hostess Pim set up and made little baskets of food for us to offer to the monks. The property was beautiful and kept clean. It’s also a short walk away to the beach and various restaurants and little groceries. Would definitely come here again when given the next chance.

We had a good time and fun. We thought the location was superb for getting around the city. The breakfast at the hotel is as good as you can get. We did get our money's worth as far as rate goes. A boutique resort with an old colonial feel and tasteful decor in a similar theme.

A great location for people with children. We always had transport willingly available to us from the resort. These rooms without doubt will be the best hotel room we are ever likely to stay in. Mr. Phil and all the staffs were very friendly and helpful. We will certainly be back.

Words and pictures do not capture the full beauty of this place. The resort is situated in a quiet cove in between two fresh local markets, 2 supermarkets - excellent for those who love to cook, and walking distance to the beach and many restaurants. Close to town and shopping but quiet ideal location.

The restaurant in-house serves amazing and dilicious Thai food prepared by two very friendly chefs. They were more than happy to cater to me being vegetarian and adjusted meals accordingly so I could eat freely from the full menu. They also offer Thai cooking classes where some of my favorite recipes were explained step by step and the chef prepares them with you hands on.

The rooms are spacious, with great natural lighting, great views, and even good vaastu (feng-shui) is present in the lay-out. They provide modern amenities but with a classical Thai undertone/theme, so from the moment you wake up, you can tell you are in tropical kamala, not just some random hotel.

The thing that gives this place a golden star though is the hospitality. Each and every staff from the airport pickup driver, to the front-desk clerk, to the managers and even the cleaners (and chefs) were very warm, always shining with a contagious genuine smile, and they always did the most to make u feel at home and comfortable. Service from the heart has surpassed my expectation here and I must sincerely say this place has some of the best hospitalty of anywhere I have ever stayed.

Rather a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply time to relax, recharge and reconnect with nature, I would stay here again without hesitation and definitely reccommemd this place, you will not regret it.
