Amaleena Pool Access Suites

“Nous ne sommes pas restés car ne nous correspondait pas mais joli quand même.”

The buildings are new, clean, and pretty. The layout of the rooms is varied and well organized. However, the hotel’s name changed from Amaleena to Nariya Bay Front, making it hard to locate. There was almost nobody at reception when we called or arrived. The hotel sits at the end of a narrow path that feels unsafe at night—especially since it gets dark at 19:00. The room was nice but smaller than what we had booked, and the six rooms were very close together, each with large bay windows overlooking a small pool, so there was no privacy. We had no private outdoor space, and while the sea view from the small garden was pretty, there was no beach access.

“Great deal for a place to stay near the scuba diving pier”

The location is good and the place is clean. The bathroom looked a bit worn, though it was still tidy. The bed was too soft for my taste.

The location and facilities are perfect. The breakfast could use an upgrade in product variety.

“Returning to Phuket”

The place looks nice, but you’ll need a motorcycle or car to get around. It’s a quiet spot, and even though it’s close to the water, the beach isn’t usable. The pool just outside the bedrooms is great—one of the best features—and the other pool is also nice. That’s about it. The bathroom doors just don’t work. We booked with breakfast included, but there were several setbacks. For the first two days the breakfast was okay—fixed menu, no choice, and the staff didn’t speak English, making explanations difficult. On the third day, without notice, breakfast was unavailable! They went to SevenEleven outside the compound and that was all. The excuse was a “kitchen problem,” which doesn’t make sense because the kitchen is almost non-existent and open for us to see. We had to wait more than 30 minutes. The next day they offered breakfast at a bakery near SevenEleven, which was fine and appreciated. The day after that, the same thing—back to SevenEleven or similar with a “plastic” breakfast and no choice.

The place feels intimate.
