Amatara Wellness Resort

We had a fantastic 7 nights at Amatara Wellness Resort. Everything about the place was so tranquil and beautiful. It had a real feeling of paradise. We wanted somewhere quiet and secluded to enjoy a week of relaxation away from the crowds and bright lights of Patong and this place certainly met our criteria. The staff were so friendly and attentive right from the moment we arrived - nothing was too much trouble. Our room was a Bay View Pool Villa and we were so happy with it. Even the photos don't do it justice. In my opinion the bay side was just as beautiful as the ocean side. The standard of housekeeping was top notch. Relaxing in our private pool after a long hard day of being at the communal poolside was a perfect way to round off our day before moving on to the Sun & Moon terrace for complimentary cocktails as the sun went down. As for dinner we found the complimentary rides in one of the golf carts down the hotel drive from where we could walk to the local Panwa restaurants was a useful service. Ordering room service direct to our villa was also a delicious option. We appreciated the option of daily bus excursions. We recommend waking early for the sunrise yoga class and trying the kayaking. The wellness consultation was a fascinating addition. Thank you to the spa staff for a fantastic massage for me and my partner. We enjoyed our "learn to thai massage" session very much too! One final remark the complimentary 8 items per day laundry was so helpful thank you.

A perfect gateway whether you decide to go solo, with friends or as couple. I loved my stay at amatara.

Fabulous views and beautiful spaces. Gardens and walkways well groomed. Our private villa and pool were private and spectacular with views of the Andaman Sea.

More three star than four. Surprised by price relative to value. 1) Sold a sea view but looked onto bay. When we complained they offered to move us, not good when we’d traveled 2 days to get there. Made me wonder why we didn’t get the room to start. 2) Seemed odd to charge for all fitness classes and have broken machines in gym for a wellness retreat. 3) Low water pressure, tired paint and decor. 4) Limited number of pool chairs. 5) WiFi inconsistent 6) Poor beach

Nice resort, staff were great, the food was amazing - however the beach was average and while it was lovely i did think it was overpriced in comparison to other hotels we have stayed at.
