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. The resort features 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.

Great hotel and staff. Booked B&B for 14 nights and we all cannot fault the hotel. Breakfast is a buffet and the food is a great selection. Rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious.

Great hotel and staff. Booked B&B for 14 nights and we all cannot fault the hotel. Breakfast is a buffet and the food is a great selection. Rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. We were in a superior pool view. We spent most of the time around the pool the staff there ( Aof, Su, Ice, Air and S) are great look after your every need. Will definitely return to the Amari when we decide to return to Samui. What I would say is that guests need to respect the staff more, they are there to assist you not run after you. Some guests just don’t respect them. Thanks for a great holiday all the staff at the Amari and a big thank you to the drivers who assisted my father in law who is 89. Thank you Read less

אחרי חוויה מאוד לא נעימה שהייתה לנו עם החדרים (הגענו לירח דבש וקיבלנו חדר מרוחק, על החומה של המלון בבניין שמרגיש כמו אכסניה ולאחר מכן הציעו לנו לעבור לחדר שהיה מלוכלך עם ג׳וקים על הריצפה במקלחת) הגענו לארוחת הבוקר בשעות העומס, לא היה שולחן פנוי, והושיבו אותנו בשולחן מרוחק מאזור הישיבה. ניסינו לנופף למלצרים ללא הצלחה על מנת להזמין קפה, רק אחרי… Read more
אחרי חוויה מאוד לא נעימה שהייתה לנו עם החדרים (הגענו לירח דבש וקיבלנו חדר מרוחק, על החומה של המלון בבניין שמרגיש כמו אכסניה ולאחר מכן הציעו לנו לעבור לחדר שהיה מלוכלך עם ג׳וקים על הריצפה במקלחת) הגענו לארוחת הבוקר בשעות העומס, לא היה שולחן פנוי, והושיבו אותנו בשולחן מרוחק מאזור הישיבה. ניסינו לנופף למלצרים ללא הצלחה על מנת להזמין קפה, רק אחרי שקמנו לקרוא להם מישהו הועיל בטובו להגיע, הזמנו כוס קפה. סיימנו לאכול וראינו (אחרי חצי שעה) שהקפה לא הגיע. ועוד פעם נסיונות כושלים לקרוא למלצר. בקיצור, שירות גרוע ! לא מומלץ ! After a very unpleasant experience we had with the rooms (we arrived on our honeymoon and got a remote room, on the wall of the hotel in a building that feels like a hostel and then we were offered to move to a room that was dirty with cockroaches on the floor in the shower) we arrived for breakfast at rush hour, there was no table free, and we were seated at a table far from the seating area. We tried to wave to the waiters without success in order to order coffee, only after we got up to call them someone was kind enough to come, we ordered a cup of coffee. We finished eating and saw (after half an hour) that the coffee had not arrived. And once again failed attempts to call the waiter. In short, bad service! Not recommended! หลังจากประสบการณ์ที่ไม่พึงประสงค์อย่างมากที่เรามีกับห้องพัก (เรามาถึงฮันนีมูนและได้ห้องห่างไกล บนผนังของโรงแรมในอาคารที่ให้ความรู้สึกเหมือนโฮสเทล จากนั้นเราถูกเสนอให้ย้ายไปห้องที่สกปรกด้วย แมลงสาบบนพื้นในห้องอาบน้ำ) เรามาถึงเพื่อรับประทานอาหารเช้าในชั่วโมงเร่งด่วน ไม่มีโต๊ะว่าง และเรานั่งอยู่ที่โต๊ะห่างจากบริเวณที่นั่ง เราพยายามโบกมือให้บริกรเพื่อสั่งกาแฟแต่ก็ไม่ประสบผลสำเร็จ หลังจากที่เราลุกขึ้นเพื่อเรียกพวกเขาว่ามีคนใจดีมา เราก็สั่งกาแฟหนึ่งแก้ว เรากินเสร็จก็เห็น (ผ่านไปครึ่งชั่วโมง) ว่ากาแฟยังมาไม่ถึง และล้มเหลวอีกครั้งในการพยายามโทรหาบริกร สรุปคือบริการห่วย! ไม่แนะนำ!

Nice Website - I wish we were staying there ! We have just checked-in and the first impression is very disappointing! The Amari Koh Samui looks great on its website but in reality, the hotel is very average ( 3 stars at best ). The website does not mention that the hotel site is divided by a very busy road which requires a security guard to allow you to cross. The noise from this road is very intrusive - the booming party buses and motorcycles can be heard in the rooms next to the road ( where we are ) at all hours. We heard less traffic noise at our last hotel in central Bangkok ( 5 Star ) The Armari website states - "our village rooms have been recently refurbished". Given the state of our room - "recently" must mean two or three years ago! The room has stained furniture, dirty curtains, marked walls and a broken toilet seat. The room shows little resemblance to the website pictures. But the worst aspect of the room is the musky/sweaty smell that indicates that something is not right with the aircon or drains. The Armari is not a 5-star hotel - having just stayed at a 5-star hotel ( American chain) in central Bangkok - the Amari is a basic 3-star hotel which claims to be 5-star. In summary - the website is great, I just wished that we were staying there. Read less

לא מומלץ !!!! יחס מזעזע, באנו לירח דבש, פעם שנייה במלון, מסתבר שיש בריכה חדשה (נפתחה לפני חודש) והחדרים מסביבה מרגישים כמו אכסנייה, הכניסה לא נעימה, לייד החומה, לא נעים ולא סימפטי. רכשנו חדר לייד הבריכה ללא ביטול, לרגע לא דמיינו שנקבל חדר שמרגיש כמו אכסנייה, בהתחשב בכך שבפעם שעברה שהיינו כאן רכשנו חדר לייד הבריכה וקיבלנו חדר ברמה הרבה יותר גבוהה.… Read more
לא מומלץ !!!! יחס מזעזע, באנו לירח דבש, פעם שנייה במלון, מסתבר שיש בריכה חדשה (נפתחה לפני חודש) והחדרים מסביבה מרגישים כמו אכסנייה, הכניסה לא נעימה, לייד החומה, לא נעים ולא סימפטי. רכשנו חדר לייד הבריכה ללא ביטול, לרגע לא דמיינו שנקבל חדר שמרגיש כמו אכסנייה, בהתחשב בכך שבפעם שעברה שהיינו כאן רכשנו חדר לייד הבריכה וקיבלנו חדר ברמה הרבה יותר גבוהה. לא הסכימו להחזיר לנו כסף, אפילו לא חלק. הסכימו לשדרג אותנו לחדר נורמאלי רק בתוספת תשלום. וכאשר ראו שאני כותבת ביקורת הסכימו פתאום לשדרג אותנו לחדר ״נורמאלי יותר״ החדר היה קטן ומלוכלך, עם ג׳וקים על הריצפה במקלחת. אנחנו לא נחזור לכאן. Not recommended!!!! Appalling attitude, we came for our honeymoon, a second time at the hotel, it turns out that there is a new pool (opened a month ago) and the rooms around it feel like a hostel, the entrance is unpleasant, next to the wall, unpleasant and unsympathetic. We purchased a room by the pool without cancellation, for a moment we did not imagine that we would get a room that feels like a hostel, considering that the last time we were here we purchased a room by the pool and got a room of a much higher standard. They did not agree to refund us, not even a part. They agreed to upgrade us to a normal room only for an additional fee. And when they saw that I was writing a review, they suddenly agreed to upgrade us to a "more normal" room. The room was small and dirty, with cockroaches on the floor in the shower. We will not be coming back here. ไม่แนะนำ!!!! ทัศนคติแย่มากเรามาฮันนีมูนที่โรงแรมครั้งที่สองปรากฎว่ามีสระว่ายน้ำใหม่ (เปิดเมื่อเดือนที่แล้ว) และห้องโดยรอบให้ความรู้สึกเหมือนโฮสเทลทางเข้าไม่ดีติดกับผนัง ไม่เป็นที่พอใจและไม่เห็นอกเห็นใจ เราซื้อห้องริมสระน้ำโดยไม่มีการยกเลิก นึกไม่ถึงอยู่พักหนึ่งว่าจะได้ห้องที่ให้ความรู้สึกเหมือนโฮสเทล เพราะครั้งล่าสุดที่เรามาที่นี่เราซื้อห้องริมสระน้ำและได้ห้องขนาด มาตรฐานที่สูงกว่ามาก พวกเขาไม่เห็นด้วยที่จะคืนเงินให้เรา ไม่มีแม้แต่ส่วนหนึ่ง พวกเขาตกลงที่จะอัพเกรดเราไปเป็นห้องธรรมดาโดยมีค่าธรรมเนียมเพิ่มเติมเท่านั้น และเมื่อพวกเขาเห็นว่าฉันกำลังเขียนรีวิวอยู่ พวกเขาก็ตกลงที่จะอัพเกรดเราเป็นห้องที่ "ธรรมดากว่า" ห้องเล็กและสกปรก มีแมลงสาบอยู่บนพื้นในห้องอาบน้ำ เราจะไม่กลับมาที่นี่อีก Read less
