Amari Palm Reef Resort, Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

The Amari Hotel on Koh Samui is situated on Chaweng Beach, an endless stretch of tropical beach with white powdery sand, clear blue sea and coconut palms. Thanks to a coral reef barrier, which also provides good snorkeling opportunities, water ski boats and jet skis cannot enter this area and guests at the Amari are undisturbed by noisy, speeding water craft.

The hotel neighborhood is characterized by fashion boutiques, souvenir and art shops. Chaweng nightlife and entertainment hot spots are within walking distance but outside the acoustic range.

The Amari Palm Reef Resort offers spacious and comfortable accommodation with an atmosphere of leisurely up-market elegance. The resort is arranged like a village of Thai-style buildings in the midst of beautifully landscaped tropical gardens under gently swaying palm trees. From balconied suites with views of the distant islands to family duplexes and bungalows set in quiet tropical gardens, the Amari Palm Reef Resort has accommodation to suit every taste. All rooms have private bathrooms with bath or shower, individual controlled air-conditioners, a private veranda or terrace, TV with international and local channels, electronic in-room safe, mini-bar and international direct dial telephone. Families with children appreciate Family Duplex Deluxe Rooms with mezzanine design of two floors and sleeping space for two adults and two children.
