    The staff were so accommodating and helpful. They ensured we were looked after during our stay and made us feel welcome. The rooms were cleaned regularly and water replaced in the fridge and by sink everyday. The breakfast is really delicious and staff during breakfast were really good! We actually looked forward to going to breakfast everyday and didn’t miss a day :) the villas are on the beach which was really clean and quiet. Definitely would recommend staying here, you have a night scene and it’s a lot more quiet :)

    Just a few niggles which could easily be improved. 1. The sun beds although authentic really need replaced as they are shabby and in some places dangerous with nails and broken pieces 2. The breakfast is pre ordered every night which is a nice offering but we felt perhaps could be improved and simplified by offering a small buffet area with fruits, juices and pastries and only offering pre orders for cooked items. This would also free up staff time and arguably make the guest experience smoother. BUT all in all these are suggestions rather than complaints or not liking the offerings.

    The location and the overall feel and features of the property were amazing. We loved the typical Thai style of the buildings and it created a real feeling of being in Thailand. We stayed in a pool villa room - room 305 - which was fantastic! The room itself was huge, ultra silent for amazing nights sleep and amazing view over your own private pool to the sea! We lay and watched a fabulous lightning / thunder storm one evening from our bed! Room 305 has the best clear view I think as not obscured by tree foliage.The outdoor shower may not be everyone’s cup of tea but we loved it as it kept moisture out of the room and therefore no smell of damp which we have experienced at other 5* hotels in Thailand. This being a small intimate hotel also adds value as the staff are impeccable. They really get to know you on a personal basis. A shout out for Boa, Gail and Lim who really made our stay first class. A thank you must be extended to Steven the manager who also took the time to introduce the room and property to us on our stay. We had a wonderful relaxing time at this hotel. The team went over and above to arrange a table on the beach for us for our 28 year anniversary - much much thanks you you all for this :-)

    A little bit of a walk, but you can walk the beach which is easier. But we needed to walk after eating all the amazing foods of the area.

    Ammatura was a dream anniversary holiday for us. We loved everything about this beautiful location on the beach, staff were amazing, rooms were stunning and grounds were so lovely.

    The room layout was very unusual. Lots of space but lots of unnecessary items and decor is over the top. It took us a day or so to get comfortable but would definitely stay again.

    From the first day the staff was very nice and welcoming. They made our stay even more special because they kept interacting with us and were always helpful. The breakfast was great with fresh juices and fruits - you have several options from which you can choose beforehand for the next day. This approach is more relaxing than having a buffet breakfast. The restaurant is also very good - the Pad Thai was especially tasty - although it could have even more Thai food in my opinion, instead of the western cuisine.

    This was honestly the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel itself was majestic, with a traditional Thai look which was exceptionally well maintained and very clean. It honestly felt like staying in a palace. It is located in Lamai which means you are guaranteed peace and quiet if that's what you are after. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond. They were attentive and always on standby to help at all times. You can feel the warmth in all the interactions with them. The breakfast was really good with a plethora of choices to choose from. I cannot fault this hotel at all and would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat.

    A perfect gem... with the best beachfront resort location in Koh Samui. We loved the pool villa ... very spacious and comfortable with awesome pool, garden and ocean views. Resort staff were amazing...so caring and top quality food and cocktails. Resort grounds were beautiful, well maintained and a pleasure to relax in the pools and ocean. The local Lamai beach shopping is the best quality and value on the island and very clean uncrowded streets...again with friendly locals to make the holiday very special. Thank you Ammatara pura koh samui. We look forward to next time.

    Staying for two weeks, there weren't enough breakfast choices. Some of the furnishings were tired/loose. The air-conditioning was loud. We only used the jacuzzi once because it took 3 hours to fill up half-way and the pipes were quite dirty. No lighting on the steps with a big slap of wood in the middle of the stairs.

    We like the traditional Thai design of the villa, it is temple-like, magnificent and grand. We like the outdoor shower, it is relaxing to have a cool shower outdoor on a hot day. We like the quietness and helpfulness of the dining hall, we enjoyed our breakfast there.

    Beach is not welcoming enough, should add chairs or something. Walk to Lamai can be annoying up the hill and too bad there is no shortcut. Some amenities require renovation.

    We stayed in the 2-bedroomed beachfront villa and it was outstanding. The whole hotel is like walking within the grounds of an ancient palace. The breakfast every morning was delicious and it was handy that we could WhatsApp our order to the reception rather than completing their form. In fact, the WhatsApp system made our lives very simple. We could not fault any of the staff, they were all lovely and very helpful. Our villa was HUGE and continued with the palace feel - both bedrooms were identical and again HUGE! There were four of us staying and we all had a shower each as there are two in each room. The washing machine came in handy as it meant we weren't packing dirty clothes when we moved on to our next destination. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to EVERYONE at AMMATARA PURA.

    We really didn’t like the surrounding area - it was intensely touristy and nothing around apart from western restaurants and (seedy) bars. It’s quite hard to get around the island (very expensive taxi rates) so we felt a little stuck in Lamai

We really enjoyed having our own pool. Breakfast had to be ordered the night before but we didn't mind that. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The plants / trees around the grounds of the hotel were delightful and very well looked after.
