hotel is clean but the beach in front of hotel needs to be improved. In fact it's a public beach so someone needs to clean it but dust in the water and feel not so good if we step on.
The Novotel Kamala has a great beach (Beach #1). Easy to walk to restaurants. Twins restaurant on the beach has an awesome seafood glass noodle salad. Cafe Del Mar has changed. They fenced off the whole operation so no beach access. Only via the front street entry where you’re subject to search and wristbands. No thanks. Instead had dinner one night at Shimmer. It’s part of montezure hotel. Awesome sunset view with dinner. Expensive for Thailand. 4,400 baht for two. Unfortunately, when got back to room, got sick and pucked dinner. 3 weeks in Thailand, never had problems with delicious Thai food. The blue crab yellow curry ended up in the toilet and on the floor.
