Frommer's Exceptional

This fine looking Amari hotel is both a fun family choice and a honeymooner's delight, with sea-facing suite rooms that merge slick-contemporary with traditional-Thai decor. Older accommodations in the main block are not as luxurious. A newer block of midrange units lies in a small "village" location across the road from the beach, and with a separate pool. The central beachside pool area is appealing, as is the dining terrace overlooking it. The resort is far enough from Chaweng strip to be quiet and comfortable (but close enough to party). Though it's a short walk to get to less rocky beach, the beach is beautiful. Sybarites will adore the superb spa here, and everyone should like Prego, which is fast becoming Samui's most talked about Italian restaurant.
