Kamala Beach guesthouses and hotels
Kamala Beach has two main areas for accommodation -- the southern beach-side strip and the area north of the police station. There are a few exceptions, but Kamala is a good choice for budget rooms. A Marriot Courtyard will be opening on the former site of the Kamala Bay Garden Resort in time for the 2008/2009 high season.
