Amari Palm Reef Resort
February 17, 2008
A firm favorite with leading international holiday operators, the Amari Palm Reef Resort is situated at the secluded northern end of Chaweng, Koh Samui’s most beautiful beach and offers an atmosphere of up-market leisurely elegance along with spacious and comfortable accommodation. The resort comprises a cluster of Thai-style buildings hidden by gently swaying palm trees set amongst well kept tropical gardens.
The refreshing sea breezes, clear blue water and soft, shimmering beach combined with an abundance of nearby water sports and within walking distance of Chaweng’s lively night-life, make this resort an idyllic holiday destination for honeymooners, couples and families alike.
From USD$ 177
Hotel was great, food was wonderful - very good, location was ideal, staff was very helpful. Only comment would be, would be nice if there was a gift shop onsite at the hotel for sundries, etc. Would recommend to anyone else and would go back!

We had read good things about the Amari, so decided to try it out, having stayed at Nora s, the Chaweng Regent and Central Samui before. Arrival was effecient and friendly. The rooms were, however, adequate (and questionable value therefore)with very small bathrooms where one could hardly fit two people in in any comfort. The shower cubicle was small and cramped. When we arrived we also encountered problems opening and closing the room safe, resulting in having to call for assistance, the kettle needed replacing, and the TV stations had a scarcity of English language programmes compared to other hotels. That being said, the breakfasts were the best we had encountered in any of our previous hotel stays and the bar area was pleasantly decorated and a generous 3 hour happy hour would be welcome if one wanted it. The pools are pleasant but if you want a quieter time use the (bigger) one away from the beach (across the road), as the beachside pool is very heavily used by kids. Food is very good, and the Italian restaurant -Prego- is fantastic, as always.

Don t accept upgrade service, we booked superior room, it was so modern with bath in the picture; however the front desk officer offered the family room upgrade for us, it was not as good as superior, the decor was a bit old, no bath, shower room was very small; over all, the services of the hotel are excellent, everyone is simily & showing their happiness to meet you!
