Best Pool with lots of sun in Chaweng??

Hi All,

We would like to stay in Chaweng and would like a place on the beach, but with a lovely pool that gets alot of sun and space.

Can anyone suggest a place, please?

We also want a nice room, preferably on the ground floor near the pool. We will be going in October, and originally booked the Muang Samui, but reviews of late have not been favourable, and people have said there is no sun around the pool.

Can anyone help, please???

Thanks heaps,

Sandy

Hi Sandy

The Amari is really great - the rooms good, the staf fantiastic and lotsof sun around the pool. If you get bored at the pool - a few steps and you are on the beach !

Lovely !!!

hi

Also near to the Amari is The Iyara, their pool gets sun all day too

Hi,

I would agree with the Amari. Not just one pool but 2 (depending what side of the road your on) But that doesn%26#39;t matter anyway you can use both. I haven%26#39;t seen anywhere else in that area with as many lounges around the pool or on the beach, they supply huge towels and restock them every couple of hours too. Sun all day if you want or a shady lawn area in the afternoon. Also 2 great restaurants including Prego (excellent italian). Check out there website www.amaripalmreefresort (or similar). Best breakfast (you won%26#39;t eat till dinner time. They have beautiful pool side rooms that are also only about 20 paces to the beach. 5 minutes walk down the beach to restaurants/bars/shopping etc.

Might see you in October we%26#39;re there from the 29/10..

Good Luck

Thanks so much guys for your replies.

Coffs,

Can you tell me what sort of rooms are poolside, near the beach? I think they may be the superior rooms, but can%26#39;t find a layout of the hotel to check. They have vacancies (8-12/10) for both deluxe %26amp; superior. Would love poolside near the beach, but believe the rooms are much newer on the other side of the road.

Any suggestions, please, as I need to cancel the Muang Samui and book the Amari ASAP.

Hi Sandy,

Not sure what they call the pool side rooms, maybe superior pool view or something, get on their website and send them an email with your request, from past experience they get back very promptly. we stayed on the other side of the road last October which was no big deal they even have 24 hour security manning the pedestrian crossing to get you over the road safely. we found the other side of the road slightly newer and absolutely no hassle to cross to the beach side only a 30 second walk.

we checked out the pool view rooms which were very big only about 4 of them, mainly with families. We thought for the difference in price the other side of the road was great value as we hardly spent any time in the room anyway.

The facilities are awesome and something to behold at night when all the lights are on especially in the coconut trees around the pool and beach, not to mention the cocktail bar between the pool and the beach at night... The beach is floodlit at the Amari at night too. We would go to the 7/11 up the road and buy a 6 pack or similar and sit on the beach under lights before walking the 5 minutes down the beach to restaurants on the sand.

Hope this helps.

Hi Coffs,

We couldn%26#39;t wait - we booked a deluxe room and requested Building 6 poolside - so hopefully it will be just what we want.

Thanks so much for your advice,

Sandy

Trust me you won%26#39;t regret it... check out the tailor attached the the hotel if you want something he made me some suites last year and they are better than anything I%26#39;ve bought before.

Enjoy!!!

Hi Coffs

please tell me what%26#39;s the name of the tailor (or his shop) and how much doest it cost to have a suit made there?

Hi

If you have booked a deluxe next to the pool then you will be across the road from the beach.

This is no big deal and some people think that it would be a problem but it is not.

The rooms nearest the front pool are superior and smaller other than that they are the suites and they are similar in size to the deluxe but with a view of the ocean. The price is a lot more though.

You will not regret the Amari as a choice. Do go to prego whilst there as it is superb. A bit pricier but lovely. to make up for the extra cost just go down the road and slightly round the corner to the right to will wait for traditional Thai for next to nothing.

the staff will take care of your every need and the breakfasts are the best we have had anywhere.

I can%26#39;t praise the Amari hotels enough.

Have a walk along the beach at night for food or music or just a drink as a change from the maddness that is chewang.

Enjoy

Just back ourselves from a month there in May.

Kata1,

Not sure of the tailors name but he%26#39;s attached to the Amari complex just to the left of reception next door to the dive shop. He doesn%26#39;t tout as his reputation preceeds him. I bought a silk/cashmere blend suite consisting of jacket/shirt and 2 trousers and suite bag for less than $200 AUD. Made in 3 days + 2 fittings.
