My husband and I stayed at Amara Ocean over New Year's Eve with our three kids aged 4, 6 and 9. The resort is pretty much faultless, with beautifully arranged wooden bungalows along the beach (it really makes no difference if you are front or second row as bungalows are staggered), immaculate tropical gardens and a very good restaurant.

Amara Ocean resort is probably the nicest and charming resort I know - except maybe the nice islands on the Maledives - with an almost endles beach on both sides of the resort where you may walk for at least 2 hours. Only 56 guests at the time for this huge beach. Bungalows nicely equipped with good beds. Excellent food... More

This resort is the only hotel (currently) on an isolated stretch of a beautiful beach. As such, it was wonderfully peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are stand-alone cabins with private porches, some right on the beach, some set back a row. The pool is also really nice. The service is fabulous--everyone bent over backwards to be helpful. While some of... More

This beach resort is outstanding, especially if you are looking for a quiet place in a beautiful setting. Beautiful garden setting right on the beach and luxuriously appointed bungalows. It is the only hotel north of the airport so its beautiful, wide white sand beach is yours to share with only the other resort guests (27 bungalows). Food, both Western... More

The food is good but a little too westernized for our taste. The staff does indeed speak little English but are so friendly! and give them time to learn! The only... More

We visited for lunch,and had a guided tour. Yes the location is great but you are so far away from things that one would get bored of the food in 3 days and the main (delightful) restaurants are a $25 taxi fare away. Our lunch,taken in a line of tables was disappointing and expensive and the service was nothing special-the... More

On the water. Private bungalow. Awesome service. Quiet. Private beach. Great food. Clean. Neat. Warm waters. No need for anything else. The host is very nice and he cares about his customers! No bugs. Nice breezes. Nice people. Not crowded.

We stayed in this resort in the second half of October. We travelled all over the world,but this is certainly another pearl to admire. The resort,its staff,the food, the room all in a stunning environment. Absolutely fantastic !

Great location on the beach with beautiful rooms, all of which have an ocean view. Excellent food in the restaurant and a great breakfast. They do need to improve the quality of English of the staff, was hard at times to communicate with some. The resort is a little over-priced considering other similar properties in the area or in Thailand.... More
