Frommer's "The Amari Coral Beach stands on the rocks high above the southern end of busy Patong, well away from the congested beach strip, but close enough to dip into the mayhem." Full review
Star Service "One of the first and finest on this famed stretch of white sand, Amari Phuket Resort enjoys the best location of any hotel here." Full review

The resort covers quite a bit of land so guests will find they will walk more than they may choose to, but after the sumptuous breakfast buffets, few complain about a little exercise.
Rough Guide "Occupying its own secluded little beach on a headland at the southernmost end of the bay, this upmarket Thai chain hotel offers contemporary-chic rooms with generous sea-view balconies."
Oyster Upscale
"The Amari Phuket is an upscale resort in a peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of Patong, but close enough to offer plenty of activity for those who want it." Full review

"Keemala is pure fantasy." Full review
Jetsetter "Whimsical, eco-friendly rainforest retreat dotted with waterfalls, within safe distance from Patong’s partiers." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Birds’ nests, seedpods, thatched hobbit holes: Phuket resort Keemala’s pool villas are incredible architectural anomalies, and an intriguing mix of history and myth, loosely based on ancient tribe dwellings" Full review

I got the feeling that no request was too much trouble for the him and his team – something which is quite rare (I know how much work goes into the F&B side of hotels).
Independent "Interiors are glam and grown up – oversized four-poster beds, enormous bathtubs and private pools. And the spa, with its indoor/outdoor treatment rooms and lavish treatments, is a dream."
Frommer's "This design-centric hotel is built into the lush, forested hills just up from Kamala Beach, and it is one of the most magical hotels in Thailand" Full review

"Soothing, ecoconscious, fantasy-inspired beauty is one of Phuket's most original, sought-after and Instagram-loved resorts...stay in cocoon-like, clay-cottage private-pool villas; glammed-up tents." Full review
Independent "Keemala Resort is made up of fantasy bird’s nest villas, clay pool cottages and tree houses. The lavish tree-top rooms have a wooden structure and décor, four-poster beds and private pools."
Michelin Guide "All of Keemala’s villas and cottages come loaded with the necessities: Egyptian sheets, bathtubs, free wi-fi, minibars stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks, and private terraces " Full review
