Amatara Welleisure Resort

Hotel room and facilities were very high quality. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. Expect additional charges; we ordered a sparkling water (as we had food poisoning and couldn’t leave our rooms for our pre-purchased breakfast). We were charged 700 baht (approx $32 AUD) for sparkling water. The hotel staff also ordered us a taxi which they charged additional fees for, on top of the taxi fare. It is best to use the Grab app (uber) for transport instead of asking hotel staff. The hotel is not in an ideal location for visiting other places but it is great if you are wanting to stay in a quiet resort and enjoy the view. Be prepared for unreasonable price mark ups.

Our stay at Amatara was absolutely lovely. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ms. Nita, who was incredibly friendly and patiently explained every detail about the resort to us. We were then escorted to our room by Ms. Jasper, who was equally thoughtful and kind. We stayed in the Ocean View Pool Room, and it was everything we hoped for, spacious, spotless, and incredibly relaxing. A special shoutout to the housekeeping team for keeping the room impeccably clean throughout our 4 night stay. The resort is built on steep slopes, and getting around was easier thanks to the buggy service provided by Amatara which could take us anywhere within the resort, from the restaurants and private beach to the lobby and even the main entrance. Just a short walk from there, you'll find a 7-Eleven and a very small street night market where you can enjoy Thai delicacies. Every moment at Amatara was peaceful and memorable, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you to the entire Amatara team for your warm hospitality and excellent service ❤️

Nice stay. The pools are great (and massive) and we had a pool by our room which was perfect. However, the beach is too rocky to swim nicely and more of a cove, so don’t count on having beach days here. If you only want the pool, no problem. Food was good but overpriced heavily. You can walk to the restaurants on the street which has good food options. They offer transport to the entrance of the resort. The location is secluded so just be sure that this is your vibe before booking.

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. I was upgraded to a bigger suite with it being the low season which was really appreciated. The bed was huge and comfy, and the aircon worked really well. The bathroom was well equipped with a bath and shower over and a separate rainfall shower cubicle (which was massive). The breakfast buffet was extensive, and they also had an a la carte menu with some nice options like pandan pancakes with coconut ice cream. The pool was beautiful (although I didn't go in) and there were plenty of lounge chairs. Lunch and dinner went down well - everything was well cooked. There is also a very small private beach which is good for swimming or relaxing in and the hotel provides water sport activities like paddle boarding (I believe these were free of charge in the low season). Managed to use the gym which was well equipped for a hotel with free weights, cardio machines, resistance machines, and had classes available. The infrared sauna and steam room were nice after a hard workout. The Spa and wellness centre was beautiful. I got a physio check-up and oil massage which was slightly cheaper than in the UK (but expensive for Thailand). The whole experience was worthwhile - I was provided with tea before and after my massage and was well looked after. The physio appointment came about because of a chat I had with Nui about the world cup at breakfast and they got it booked for me. When I went back separately for a message, I was given special attention for my ankle.

We had a really lovely day here and stayed in an ocean view villa which was beautiful and peaceful. The staff were so friendly and truly could not do enough to help us. The buggy service around the resort always came super quickly and room service was also very fast, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. The main pool is very large and quiet, a perfect spot to unwind. The food and drinks were nice overall. I do think breakfast could be improved slightly as some options did not feel as fresh as they could be, but with a few small changes it could be great. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and really appreciated the warm service and calm atmosphere.
