The hotel

Located on the northern end of Samui’s breathtaking Chaweng Beach, the Amari Koh Samui is a relaxed yet elegant resort, perfect for couples and families alike, featuring contemporary Thai style buildings set either along the ocean or within lush tropical gardens. Guests can enjoy the in-house dive centre for exploring the underwater world, or simply unwind by one of the three beautiful swimming pools—one overlooking the sea, another at the heart of the Thai Village, and the newest in the Garden Wing. There's also a separate children’s pool, where kids can splash around while parents relax in the jacuzzi. For those looking to maintain their fitness routine, the fully equipped gym offers plenty of exercise options. For a more indulgent experience, Breeze Spa provides the ultimate pampering with soothing massages. Dining at Amari is a treat, with the signature all-day restaurant serving a variety of Asian and International dishes paired with stunning sea views. For gourmet Italian cuisine, Prego is the go-to spot, and Amaya Bar is perfect for enjoying sunset cocktails.

Family of 2 adults & 2 kids (age 19 & 16) loving every minute at the Amari!! Perfect location in quiet end of Chaweng beach (North) and although walkable into central, the songthaews are a bargain (50 THB per person). The facilities are pristine including the pools and gardens which are beautifully maintained. We have never had a problem getting sunbeds. The food is really good and competitively priced with other beach restaurants. Breakfast is a feast of all cuisines and worth the extra. Above all, the staff couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly. We would like to give a special mention to Penn who has served us with warmth and humour! I’m so glad I did my research and persevered with this reservation! Read less

Great location. Friendly staff. We have 3 rooms. I wouldn't rate this establishment as a 5 star hotel. Possibly 3.5. Firstly, rooms are dated. The AC struggles to cool the room. The food is mediocre at best. I would say the location is the only redeeming feature. Other than that quote a disappointment.

Amari Koh Samui Hotel, we love being back here after more than 10 years since last time. It is such a nice hotel and fantastic to see so many of the same staff are still working here, among others mrs. Pen in the restaurant who still remember us and still give same excellent service.

This was our second stay at the Amari Resort in 2 consecutive years. We were not disappointed. It is such a comfortable stay with great, welcoming staff who all go out of their way to make guests feel special. To be welcomed by Penn and Jimmy each morning was a joy. The breakfast selection is so varied, very spoilt for choice. I enjoyed my regular ham and cheese omelette made fresh at the Egg Bar. Can recommend any of the food there, my husband loved the chicken hamburgers so much he had several over our 12 day stay. Pick up at the airport was a breeze, as was the return trip. The reception staff are so helpful too. Happy hour with buy-one-get-one was a treat. The gardens and pool are well maintained. Some of the lounges could do with a spruce up however I believe that is happening soon. Some of the streetscape in the surrounding area is a bit more run down compared to last year, perhaps a legacy of covid? We ate a lot at Amaya restaurant at the Amari Resort. Other fabulous meals were at The Tent (next door), Prego when we felt like a break from Thai, we had a superb meal at Chez François (the owner/chef is an older man with a passion for gourmet excellence and may be close to retiring), superb Italian meal at Duomo and of course our 2 favourite pubs to watch the AFL, The Islander and Delaney’s. Can highly recommend. Read less
