I had the private pool villa. The room and the view is unbeatable. The staff is 100% professional and helpful. Breakfast and in room dining is very good and well priced along with laundry service. If you’re going to stay close to Patong I don’t believe you can choose a better place to stay than Kamila. I will definitely be back. Thanks to staff for making my stay so relaxing and memorable
