Jamahkiri Spa & Resort

Stayed at the villa, very big and clean, nice pool. It has air conditioning only in the sleeping rooms which is a minus . Staff are very helpful, breakfast was good. You can access the beach via stairs but this is good for snorkeling only. The hotel is far so if you need a taxi it is 500 bath per direction, or you can rent motorcycles but keep in mind the road is very steep .

Loved this resort! The staff was great, wonderful spa, and the restaurant was really good (try the smoked duck salad ❤️). We will definitely go back next trip to Thailand.

We had a deluxe room villa and it was an absolutely stunning room! The cleanliness was impeccable. All the food staff were very very kind. We stayed here for the convenience of the diving as well and found 1 of the ladies in the dive shop was not very friendly, informative or helpful… we felt like we were a nuisance to her most days. Then another lady showed up later in the weeks and she was absolutely wonderful and was very helpful :) we went diving with Nick, Jordan and Bjorn and they were all wonderful. Nick was very entertaining under water and even when visibility was low, gave us fun things to do :) the past reviews warning about stairs is very much real. It was a great leg workout for us for the week but I would not recommend it for anyone who isn’t fit. Shuttles into town are extremely helpful as taxis are quite expensive… overall this hotel was stunning and adorable <3

Everything is great

Nice hotel, too many stairs lol

Pro’s: Great room with Amazing ocean view, nice bed and clean room. Nice pool and very friendly staff. Great place to snorkel just below hotel (saw several turtles) and also great place to kayak or paddle board (which hotel rents out) Con’s: NOT for someone with walking issue/knee issue. Stairs, stairs, everywhere. Was fine for us but I’d never take my parents there. About 400 steps from reception to water. It’s very OFF location. Taxis charge 4-500 during day and 5-800 during night. There’s a free shuttle which is great, but latest 6.30 so if you want to eat or have drink in village not an option. Jacuzzi in room was nice and big, but looked old and half the jets weren’t working. Side note: Restaurant just above hotel, Eagle View, is amazing.

Overall this is a nice hotel. The views are really nice as the hotel hugs the cliffs around shark bay. This means going up and down the hill and there are many steps etc. This was fine for me. We had one of the new private pool rooms which was very modern and nice. The older parts of the hotel do show the age a bit. The staff were nice but we had trouble getting more water on our last day. The breakfast was ok, I can only say it was not as good as other similar hotels. The hotel is not close to the main drag so a 400 baht taxi is needed. This was not a big problem for us just an FYI. The hotel is advertised as a 5 star hotel on Expedia but it's not its a 4 star. Overall I was happy with the hotel. Its got great views which is was i wanted. The room we had was very large and modern. It really depends what you're after.

The ocean view was absolutely incredible. The grounds are stunning and the staff is exceptional. We had a wonderful time staying here. There are many stairs, so be prepared for this each day. This place does require a motorbike, otherwise you will be spending a lot on taxis. The road is steep at places so experienced riders are better.

Beautiful resort, amazing food, great staff, comfy beds and clean

Everything was great

Not professional at all, spa wouldn’t answer the whole time, we booked a private boat, they didn’t plan well, barely a small food platter, no drinks, no one was helpful, we asked for a pick up from the pier and no one showed up. They had a jaccuzi in the room but no shower, wouldn’t recommend.

Really beautiful views from every room. Our 2 bedroom suite was absolutely stunning

Staff was good, but the bed was uncomfortable and the power tripped in our room causing the AC to stop.

Staff was nice and friendly. We took the simple room which was old, sheets had stains, the ac was loud and kept waking us up. We liked the pool and the view.

Stayed in a villa for a couple of nights and then rooms due to availability. Like night and day - the villa was beautiful and modern, whereas the rooms were pretty average. Also, diving at this resort was exorbitant and it’s much much more cost effective to dive at a local shop 10 mins away - strange really as the resort is SSI not PADI and they go to all the same dive spots.

Fab place and yes there all lots of steps but we knew that before we booked - and it was fine . The 2 bed villa with private pool was amazing ! Staff were so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us .

We stayed here in April with our two teenage daughters. We loved our accommodation which was the Two bedroom Pool Villa. Modern and clean with great views over the ocean. The staff here were very friendly. As many people have mentioned there are a lot of steps here (we counted 147 from our villa to the restaurant), but we knew about this before we went and so were prepared, plus it was great exercise for us. If you have any issues with steps this may not be the hotel for you. The restaurant itself was a bit limited on the food options, and the breakfast we didn’t feel was good value for money. Due to the location of the hotel getting to other restaurants is not that achievable if you don’t have transport. The hotel itself offers free shuttles to Mae Head Pier at certain times of day which we utilised. We also did a Dive whilst here and found the Dive crew great to deal with.

We stayed here for 4 nights and chose Jamahkiri because I wanted to get my advanced diving certification. The on-site dive center here was great and the instructors and equipment are top notch. The dive center and the hotel are run by separate management. I have a mixed review of this hotel because of the following: This is not a 5-star hotel by any standard. It is a 4-star at best. To be truly 5-star, you have to have much better amenities, service, and restaurant which Jamahkiri does not. We were happy with our room because we got an upgrade to a room with private pool (we had booked a deluxe suite). The room was brand new but there was construction going on around it so we were given free breakfast during our stay, which was reasonable considering construction noise and debris. Though the room was lovely, the amenities could use an upgrade. The refilled shampoo, conditioner and bath soap are very cheap quality, not what one would expect for a 5-star hotel. This room came with a kitchen which was great but the dishes, cutlery were bought in IKEA. Appliances also cheap and new but will wear out quickly over time. There is no telephone so you have to go to reception or text on WhatsApp. When ordering room service, you have to use their online ordering form on your phone. It took 20 minutes for them to get the order and another 40 minutes for the food. Breakfast mediocre. Lastly, the stairs. Expect to walk up and down a lot. There is no beach. For that stay elsewhere.

Lovely hotel. Beautiful surroundings. We had the 2 bed royal suite which was wonderful, specious, and had stunning views. Direct access to the sea where we saw sharks and turtles. Great cocktails by the pool.

Beautiful resort, but not ideal for those with mobility issue. Many steps up and down.
