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.

Have just spent a week here Which we paid over £1000 for. The room contained among other things a straw beach bag which I used and took with me when I left the hotel. I believed it was complimentary and there was no signage to say otherwise. After checking out, I was waiting in reception when I was challenged by a staff member about where the bag was. I explained it was in my suitcase as it was complimentary and was in poor condition as I had used it all week. I was informed that I should not have taken it and they wanted it back. I was not prepared to pull my laundry out all over the reception floor so offered to pay for it. I was told it was not for sale. I explained that I was not opening my suitcases all over the reception floor so the woman went away came back and told me I had to pay 600 baht for it. So I paid. This was an outrageous experience which left me feeling humiliated and embarrassed. I do not steal things from hotels yet I was made to feel like I was a common thief. The bag presumably cost them about £2 in Thailand and yet they felt the need to humiliate me in spite of my spending over £1000 there. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced in any hotel in the world. I emailed the hotel afterwards to describe this experience and received a reply, which basically said very sorry but too bad. So beware. I’m sure I’m not the first person this has happened to nor will I be the last Read less

Beautiful pool areas and a stunning beachfront location. Spacious rooms and a very nice bar and restaurant area. The Voyager lounge was a very handy facility on our departure day. The proximity to the airport meant we were awoken at 6am each morning by air traffic and could not get back to sleep. The room, although spacious, was tired dated and dirty, with mould in the bathroom. Not of the standard expected given the price that we had paid. Breakfast was chaotic and the pool area was noisy and full of children throwing balls and using large flotation devices which made it very uncomfortable for others to enjoy. There was also no lifeguard present, which was concerning. Read less
