Delicious Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at Ayara Kamala Resort was one of the best I've ever experienced! I especially loved the fresh mashed avocado made by Chef Kurt and Kewan. Every morning, I found myself ordering the same dish because it was just that good. The variety of food was impressive, and I appreciated the friendly service from the waitstaff who made each breakfast a good experience.

My stay at the resort was quite remarkable, with spacious and well-designed villas that offered breathtaking views of the ocean. The service provided was top-notch, especially from Dew and Park, who made everything feel more welcoming. However, the resort is located on a steep hillside, which can be a bit challenging for some guests to navigate. Overall, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but the amenities like the private pool and spa were definitely worth it.

My stay at the Ayara Kamala resort was simply unforgettable. The stunning ocean views from our Grand Pool Villa made our honeymoon truly special. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, especially Dew, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming. While the food at the restaurant could use some improvement, the breakfast buffet was exceptional. The location is a bit secluded, but the luxurious amenities made it worth it. Overall, this was a fantastic experience with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at Ayara Kamala Resort and Spa was largely enjoyable with a beautiful natural atmosphere and excellent service from the restaurant staff. The rooms were nice, but we had a bit of a hiccup during our room switch. The dining experiences were fantastic, and the sunset views are breathtaking, although the location was a bit isolated. Overall, it feels like a five-star place, but there was a small issue with the reception staff that can’t be overlooked.

The location is quite secluded and might be too far for those wanting easy access to Kamala's restaurants and shops. It's definitely not convenient if you're planning to explore frequently.
