Amari Phuket

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Amari Phuket during our recent trip to Thailand, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, with stunning ocean views, lush tropical surroundings, and a peaceful atmosphere away from the busy streets of Patong. One of the biggest advantages is the location. You’re close enough to enjoy Patong Beach, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, but far enough away to relax without all the noise and crowds. The resort itself has a beautiful setting, and the views are definitely a highlight. It’s a great option for couples or groups looking to enjoy Phuket while still having a relaxing place to return to after a day of exploring. Overall, Amari Phuket is a beautiful property in a great location, and I would certainly consider staying here again."

Breakfast buffet was decent but nothing exciting. It is 350 thb per person. Good walkable location. Front staff very pleasant and helpful. Too many notifications from their must download app."

10/10 Excellent
"This is the second time I have been to this resort and will definitely return again. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by the lovely, friendly staff and given a welcome drink which is very refreshing after the journey from the airport. The rooms are a nice size and very modern and have large balconies and modern bathrooms. The use of thongs, bath robes and a lovely beach bag add to the experience of luxury. The beds are very comfortable and I slept very well. The rooms are air conditioned, quiet and nice and light. The food at breakfast is to die for. So much selection for all travelers. The pools are beautiful and if you are lucky enough to find the adult only pool then it's a bonus. The pool bar staff are very attentive and always so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. The pools have bars so look out for happy hour as the staff make really nice cocktails. The food in the main restaurant is fantastic so hats off to the chefs. The walk down to the restaurants outside the resort are a bit far but there is a free shuttle bus if you don't fancy the walk down. All in all, this is one of the best resorts I have stayed at in Thailand."
