Amber Sands Beach Resort

What an amazing cosy hotel! Located on the quiet side of the island so very tranquil and relaxing. Still close enough to white sands beach to get some excitement during the day but it was so nice to go back for the evening to the relaxing environment of the hotel. Also worth mentioning that Simon, the owner is extremely helpful. He gave us a lift every morning to the white sands beach and arranged a stress-free transfer to another island for us. The food was delicious, a great combination of traditional Thai dishes with some western options (for when the kids need a break). Warm, helpful and very genuine staff made the stay truly delightful. Would definitely stay there again in the future.

Cannot think of anything. It was exactly what we hoped for.

It was the most idyllic relaxing picturesque place you could wish to stay!.. Fabulous home cooked food both Thai and western good value too! Very intimate resort just 8 rooms and the most helpful staff with Simon even collecting us from and dropping us to the ferry and arranging great car hire also. It’s an incredible place to stay!!

NOTHING to dislike at all!

The staff is super friendly and helpful. Simon and his wife are very warm and welcoming, we felt at home right away. The room was comfortable, cute and very clean. The beach is lovely (and rocks were not a problem, there are parts with rocks and parts without) and very peaceful, there are not many people on it. Also the pool was very nice. The restaurant is good, with plenty of options and fast service. For breakfast, be sure to try their omelet, it's one of the best I've ever had. Also they have good coffee :) We can recommend the massage, which was good quality, affordable and right by the beach. Finally, all of this is at a very good price level, I would say it's really great value for money. We were traveling with our 17 month old son and the location with the near-private beach were perfect. We would definitely come back, for the beach, the peaceful atmosphere and the warm service from Simon and his team.

can't think of anything...

Great sea view and free use of a kayak. The restaurant has good food and large portion sizes.

The hotel is located in the non-tourist part of the island, around only farms. Everything is pretty dilapidated, the rooms are dirty and in need of repair. The lighting in the rooms is very poor, apparently in order not to see the dirt. Breakfast is not included in the room rate. WiFi is available but not working.
