Kalima Resort & Spa is a stylish 190-room option that's more about looks than substance. Yes, the views of Phuket and the Andaman Sea from the infinity edge rooftop pool are almost never ending, but the water's a little murky and the hilltop location means never ending stairs to get there. Past guests report cleanliness and maintenance issues in the otherwise chic rooms; the best ones have sunken living rooms, semi-private pools, and more of those stunning views. There are two restaurants and two bars on the property, though high prices and the out-of-the-way location makes some guests feel marooned. While there isn't a proper beach, there is a sandy area set with sun loungers. Still, prices are relatively low for an upscale property, the spa is luxe, and Wi-Fi is free.
