    Phuket - Surin or Kamala Resorts?

    Looking for a long weekend away with the wife and daughter (14 months old) and seen both the Surin Beach Resort and Kamala Beach Hotel which, judging by previous threads, are quiet and out of the way beaches.

    Just want to wile the time away somewhere hot, sunny and quiet. A battery recharge if you like, away from work and HK! Anyone been to these hotels before and know what they are like....?

    Hi JayKay,

    I wouldnt recommend the Kamala Beach hotel. stayed there for two nights last month. The hotel and rooms are rather old and urgently need a facelift... The beach is also not too good there, and Kamala is really "dead" in the low season.... A very few restaurants are open, and there is hardly anybody.

    I recommend to make it to Kata or Karon, very nice beaches and small restaurants and away from the Patong madness. Perfect for families...

    Kata and Karon are also very quiet around this time, the beaches are empty... But at least you have some places to go at night, and I m not talking about bars.

    PM me if you need any hotel recommendations, I have been there many times and always enjoyed it.
