So lucky to have enjoyed our second long-stay at Ammatara Pura. We chose the same Oceanview Pool Villa - and were completely satisfied with the excellent room size and facilities this room gives. If you're looking for an extremely spacious personal villa that is part of a small, family-owned complex, complete with private pool and Sala, then this would be the choice for you. You have all the facilities expected of a 5 star resort including breakfasts fit for royalty (I kid you not!), first class house-keeping service daily, expansive grounds with two swimming pools and multiple sun lounge options, plus bar and restaurant located on the beachfront. All this set in beautiful gardens manicured to perfection by Khun Tor. Ammatara is tucked away in a quiet area of busy Lamai - so close but so removed from the tourist streets and scene. And when you do want the nightlife and shops, markets and restaurants, not to forget the incredibly good and value for money street food, then all these are only a 5 minute walk away - I suggest heading down the beach to reach the Main Streets of Lamai. As far as location is concerned, Ammatara is set right on the best part of Lamai Beach. The beach rarely raises more than a tiny wave and is very safe. And because it's tucked down the beach a little it escapes the crowds, in fact there were multiple occasions when we were the only ones in the water! Ammatara's location truly is one of its best assets. The included breakfasts were literally a daily feast. With options from Western to Thai and other Asian cuisines it will delight all palates. Each dish is individually cooked to order and I can assure you this is a far superior option to the usual buffet. With so much to choose from just think of it as your own personal buffet. I don't hesitate to say it's the most enjoyable breakfast experience hubby and I have ever had and we've done a lot of travelling. Ammatara also caters for lunch and dinner which can be served in-villa, or down at their beachside/poolside restaurant. There are only 18 villas in total at Ammatara which equates to a very personal level of customer service from their absolutely delightful staff - whom I cannot speak more highly of. They are a huge part of what brings us back time and again and we're looking forward to our third stay next year. I cannot recommend Ammatara more highly - it is simply wonderful. Feel free to contact me if you have any specific questions I might be able to answer for you ...

It is important to know what you get when you stay here. The staff is helpful and professional. Our room was in perfect condition, spacious, clean. The washing machine was especially welcome. The drinks and food we ordered while on the beach were very good,. You are entitled to select a great many items from the breakfast menu; after our first day, we stopped ordering all the things we were entitled to. The beach was clean with hardly anyone on it, so we pretty much had this gorgeous strip to ourselves. It was not hard to go into town; just walk down the beach about 10 minutes. I think people who are used to a true five-star experience will not find it here, though. The common areas and equipment were old with evident deferred maintenance. There are broken tiles, missing trim pieces, rusty or broken beach chairs and umbrellas, peeling vinyl on the beach lounges. If you can look the other way on this, you will get to experience a quiet, older resort at a fraction of the price at newer places. I wish the owners could do a refresh to bring the facility up to five-star level.
