Amari Phuket

Amari Phuket Overview

You know what struck me first about Amari Phuket? The way it sits right on Patong Beach without feeling like it’s trying too hard to impress you. I mean, this five-star place has that understated elegance thing down – the kind where you walk into the lobby and immediately feel like you made the right choice, but not because everything’s dripping in gold or marble.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without the chaos completely taking over. You’re literally steps from the beach, and I’m talking about the good part of Patong where the sand is actually decent and you’re not dodging jet ski touts every five seconds. The pool area – and this might sound weird – but it actually feels peaceful even when it’s busy. They’ve got this multi-level thing going on with different sections, so even during peak season (which, let’s be real, is most of the time in Phuket), you can find your own little corner. The infinity edge overlooks the beach, and honestly, watching the sunset from there with a drink never gets old.

What I really appreciate is how they handle the whole beachfront resort thing without making you feel trapped. Sure, you could spend days just bouncing between the pool, spa, and restaurants (the Thai food at Jetty is legitimately good – not just tourist-friendly good), but when you want to explore, Bangla Road is a quick walk if you’re into that scene, or you can head the other direction toward the quieter end of the beach. The staff actually knows the area well too, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places just hand you a generic map and wish you luck. They’ll tell you which longtail boat guys are fair with prices, or where to grab authentic pad thai that won’t destroy your stomach. The rooms are solid – nothing revolutionary, but everything works, the air con is reliable (crucial), and the balconies actually have space to sit and enjoy your morning coffee. I stayed during rainy season once and even then, watching the storms roll in over the Andaman Sea from my room was pretty spectacular. Just know that being right on Patong means some noise, especially on weekends, but honestly, that’s part of the energy that makes this spot work.

  The room had a beach view but the view was disrupted by the trees

• Konstantinos from Greece (8/10)

  Location is secluded away from the crowds. Has a small private beach and one can swim in the sea. But it is not exciting since it is a very small strip of the sea, almost no sand. Feels relaxing and personalized.
