The most amazing getaway!
My husband and I went back to Phuket after four years...and had the most amazing experience because we stayed at the Amari Coral Beach. We took a suite which is what we would recommend to any couple/family - it's worth it. Apart from the seaview balcony, the covered deck was the perfect place to spend the late afternoon reading - after a day at the beach. The location of the rooms in block 7 are perfect, right above the beach. The overall location of Amari Coral Beach is wonderful, as it is located away from the bustle of busy Patong Beach, but close enough to the nightlife and dining of Patong (within 10 minutes walk, you're at Soi Bangla). Would certainly recommend this as a great value for money - better than paying much more for a fancier resort.
Although it has a nice spa, the hardworking massage women are there for you all day at the private beach. The pools are great, as is the overall atmosphere.
