"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

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."
