I got the feeling that no request was too much trouble for the him and his team – something which is quite rare (I know how much work goes into the F&B side of hotels).
Independent "Interiors are glam and grown up – oversized four-poster beds, enormous bathtubs and private pools. And the spa, with its indoor/outdoor treatment rooms and lavish treatments, is a dream."
Frommer's "This design-centric hotel is built into the lush, forested hills just up from Kamala Beach, and it is one of the most magical hotels in Thailand" Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice

Independent "Keemala Resort is made up of fantasy bird’s nest villas, clay pool cottages and tree houses. The lavish tree-top rooms have a wooden structure and décor, four-poster beds and private pools."
Michelin Guide "All of Keemala’s villas and cottages come loaded with the necessities: Egyptian sheets, bathtubs, free wi-fi, minibars stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks, and private terraces " Full review
