We arrived at this Amari Hotel after spending the previous 5 nights in the Amari at Koh Chang and boy did the quality of room at koh Chang spoil us. I was already aware from previous reviews that the superior roooms have a small bathroom but how can a superior room in two Amari Hotels be so different. We were taken to our room which was on the beach side of the property behind reception ( only 28 rooms beach side ) 1st room by road facing neighbouring hotel. The bathroom was very small with a shower which is open straight onto the basin area, this definitively a one person at a time bathroom!!! The patio overlooking a garden area was very dark and damp which had a staff footpath leading to an office nextdoor. and very busy with mozzies!
Staff were very friendly and helpful when we asked to change/upgrade room and showed us a deluxe on the other side of road, but we could only move for two out of 5 nights so we stayed put. All in all we had no traffic noise being close to the road, we just did not use the patio.
Breakfast had a great selection but a little disorganized with staff walking you all round the restaurant looking for tables, after passing many ready made up!!
Free WIFI was available in Bar@C which had 30% off drinks 1200-1600 and a happy hour 1700-1800 buy one get one free deal ( Thursdays 1700-2300 )
Great location of resort a small walking distance to the busy Chaweng and excellent restaurants available along the beach either side of the Hotel.
Resort has two swimming pools either side of the road, sunbeds are reserved by guests very early. Some beds remained reseved most of the day with no one using them, if only the Hotel used its own 30 minute rule!!! its just a shame that some people feel the need to reserve beds and then don`t use them.

We have had wonderful vacation experience in Koh Samui. And the hotel Amari Palm Reef really exceeds our expections. Very good location, kind staff, lovely room and great swimming pool! Professional kind service with Thai traditional! My friend and my family really enjoyed staying here. Thank you very much!

It was our fourth trip to Koh Samui! We have found the perfect Resort. We had the best of both worlds. Our unit was near the pool area. During the day we were on the beach and in the afternoon next to the Pool. Thank you for making it another unforgettable holiday in Koh Samui!
We are still in Koh Samui and miss Amari with their warm welcome and service. Thank you Amari. We will see you again next year.

We arrived at the Amari after an overnight train journey and immediately welcomed with cooling towels and a complimentary drink. Check in was smooth and as we were early also received a voucher for a drink at the bar while the room was being cleaned. Rooms are spacious and well air conditioned. Bathrooms are great with both a shower and a bath. The breakfast buffet is great and caters for all tastes. We generally book more independent hotels not chains and the Amari caters for coach parties - so expect the sun loungers reserved by towels early on a morning. :-) Having said that, this is a great hotel and we can highly recommend it.
