"Keemala is pure fantasy." Full review
Jetsetter "Whimsical, eco-friendly rainforest retreat dotted with waterfalls, within safe distance from Patong’s partiers." Full review

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
