Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

Great rooms and view. Nice pool. The resort itself does have a lot of stairs. There is no direct access to the beach in shark bay, you have to walk 15 minutes up and down hill to get to the beach, and pay for entering. The food wasn't very good, and sure was expensive, and there aren't many alternatives around. Staff were nice but we were refused to get extra water and had to order the expensive water from room service. All in all the resort was nice but pricy and far from the beach.

When we stayed here, we later had to see a doctor because our muscles were inflamed and we had to take anti-inflammatory drugs and get muscle relaxants The doctor ordered us to rest for 5 days for walking. Because this resort has very high and steep stairs. There is no buggy shuttle. You have to walk by yourself. It is not suitable for a 5-star hotel. The room is beautiful but old. The view is very beautiful. And there is no special service.

The worst hotel experience in all of Thailand. A 1970's hotel that forgot to upgrade. Staff has severe attitude issues and are not trained to deal with international customers. The reception staff is super rude and unhelpful. The rooms have nothing. An old AC in which the control does not work and no fan. No iron in the room. Bathroom only has an ancient tub. No shower. The food is bad. They account for each room card they provide. This hotel is on a steep hill and walking to and from the room is a full workout. If your keys do not work the hotel can take over 30 mins to send the key to you while you get bitten by mosquito waiting for them. The room has no telephone either. The cupboard was broken. The online reviews are deceptive. We paid top dollar to stay here but would have been better to stay in a tent. They charge for everything.
