Situated at the southern part of Patong beach, the Amari is set in it's own lush tropical landscaped grounds, and faces the sea along the full length of the resort. It has a Jetty that is a fair walk form the main building but definitely worthwile. Our room overlooked the sea, the waves lapping beneath our balcony. The room was a standard one but was well maintained and very clean. Complimentary tea / coffee in the room as well as a daily supply of drinking water. A free newsaper is also provided daily. A good selection of restaurants on site, with themed nights - the Seafood BBQ was excellent (wine with the meal pushes up the cost but compliments the meal and atmosphere). The excellent buffet breakdfast caters for all tastes and is well presented and of a good quality standard. The 2 swimming pools are great! plenty of towels.If you want to go to the beach or on a day trip to the Islands, the hotel will let you take their towels (available from the concierge desk). Only downside (for some) is the fact that hotel is built on the side of a hill overlooking the sea; so lots of steps to climb (there is a lift located in the lobby area that serves all levels but some steep inclines will need to be faced). On the upside - the steps help burn the holiday calories. Easy access to Patong: beach, Bangala Road etc; Suggest walking into town (downhill) and take a Tuk Tuk back fromthe town to the hotel.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel, it is at the back of the resort so very quiet, the staff are really helpful and friendly. There is a courtesy bus to the beach ( 4 mins) but no lift back. WE walked back, it is not far really, you can get a taxi for baht200 which we thought a little expensive for the distance, it only cost us baht600 to get to the airport( 45 min drive) There are some good restaurants close by. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool, very quiet and secluded. Nice to visit the busy resort but lovely to come back out again!

Fantastic Resort. Friendly staff who are only to willing to assist in any way they can. Extremely clean rooms and only right across the road from the beach. Great location without he hustle and bustle. Would stay here again anytime.

Had read some reviews which made us second guess staying here but found the resort and staff to be great. The views from the room made the hikes up the hill to our room worth it but usually the shuttle service was available. The prices for items in the resort were a bit high but there is a store within two minutes walk from the hotel so we just picked up whatever we wanted there. Would definitely stay here again. It was the perfect hotel to end our trip to Thailand.
