Was genuinely surprised by the amount of excellent reviews this hotel got, which has me doubting some of their authenticity. I’ll start with the good points: Location was excellent and to sit on balcony was a real treat. Jacuzzi bath was wonderful to jump into at the end of each day Staff very friendly but their English was poor On... more

Myself and my partner have just returned from staying at Layalina for 22 nights. We stayed there last christmas and new year. I would agree with posts regarding rates as it is quite expensive if compared with other hotels on the island. Also they add service charge to everything including room rates. I noticed this year that Kamala was a... more

Me & my boyfriend stayed here in July for 3 nights before going to Phi phi for 1 week. The hotel was fantastic. The staff were by far the most welcoming I have ever come accross, one staff member offered to be our tour guide as we were not there long. He was very good and very helpful, and at... more

This small boutique hotel is a true gem, almost directly on Kamala beach. We stayed 6 nights and the hotel more than fulfilled our expectations. The staff was very friendly, especially with our daughter. No hotel is perfect though and we agree with other reviewers about the bathroom. It's very cool but not that "private". We will definitely come back... more

This place is a simple 16 room oceanfront place. It's brand new, built after the Tsunami. It has the charms of knowing the owner and very nice staff. The bathrooms are super modern and the views can't be beat. The food at the place isn't that great, but there are plenty of places to eat in the neighborhood. The little... more

The Layalina is a beautiful little hotel on Kamala beach. Its smallness is one of the nicest things about it - 15 rooms makes it feel more like a upmarket guesthouse than a hotel, and you feel less part of the whole tourism industry. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxed holiday in some luxury, then you may... more
