This is an inexpensive but unusually cozy Hotel Amora Beach Resort in the category of "4 stars", which is located on the island of Phuket.

Firstly, Phuket is the largest island in the country, secondly, it lies pretty close to the mainland; thirdly, it is easier to get to it by road than by boats, as the island and the continent connect as many as three modern bridges. In addition to convenient transportation, Phuket is famous for its protected mangrove forests, which cover about 60% of its area. They and the sea around create a special climate here, somewhat different from what dominates the mainland.

The relief and geographical characteristics of the island are "guilty" in the fact that almost all of its hotels are lined up on the west coast. Among them there are modest and quiet, with low prices and minimal service, there are very noisy, where the active life boils round the clock, there are luxurious, respectable and very expensive, but with impeccable service. But can any Phuket hotel that combines all the advantages be offered ? Amora Beach Resort - perhaps, just what you need. Here the beauty of nature reigns, which is inferior to any man-made gardens, there are very friendly staff and excellent service, here is the exhausting comfort, so necessary for a full rest. That's just noisy, enchanting vivid entertainment in this hotel there. They need to go to a nearby city, which is also easy to solve.

Services for children

For babies this is quite a cozy hotel, as here is always a very quiet environment. This is followed closely by employees who do not allow the noisy fun of individual citizens, if it interferes with the rest of the holidaymakers. In the advertising brochures it is stated that the hotel has a playground and a mini club, but according to tourists, in reality these objects are in non-operating condition, there is only one of the pools with a very small depth. For their children, parents can order a baby cot in the room and take a high chair in the restaurant. There is no information about any discounts for children.

Weather

To go to rest in this hotel is better from the end of November to the beginning of April, because it is during this period that there is a maximum number of fine days, and the sea is more or less calm and clean. Most often rains are raining in July and September. In these months they are not just stormy, but protracted, but the prices for the rooms are very minimal. Not particularly suitable for a beach holiday in Phuket in August and June, when the rains are slightly less, but on the sea almost every day a red flag, which means a ban on bathing. The point here is not so much in rather impressive waves, but in the underwater currents that are invisible to the eye. They can be well felt, even going to the sea all over the ankle, and these currents are very powerful dragging to the depth. Therefore, the beach is constantly on duty rescuers who do not allow anyone to bathe, neither children nor adults.

April, May and November are considered favorable for active recreation. At this time, the weather and rainy days are approximately equal, showers are mostly short-lived, and underwater currents are not noticeable. Therefore, those tourists who choose to Phuket in spring or autumn, can successfully alternate beach and excursion holidays. But regarding the temperature of water and air, there is no difference when traveling to Phuket, as these two climate indicators are approximately the same all year round. The water at the coast here is always heated to + 24-26, and the air to + 32-36 degrees.

Sea

Planning a beach holiday, it is very beneficial to choose the Amora Beach Resort 4 *. Phuket, Thailand as a whole have good beaches, featuring white sand and a wonderful sea. But the place where the hotel is located, without exaggeration can be called the best. The beach with white soft sand here is called Bang Tao - as well as the cove, along which it stretches for more than 10 km. It belongs to the water area of the Andaman Sea, unusually blue, with clear clear water and shallow depth at the shore, which is always appreciated by vacationers with young children. From the hotel to the beach, they say, give a hand, in other words, only fifteen meters. Sunbeds are free, but they, sometimes, not enough for all tourists, although not hotel guests are not allowed here. Umbrellas on the beach there. Instead, they use chic coniferous trees, growing near the water's edge and giving a wonderful scattered shadow. Another distinctive feature of Bang Tao is its lack of people even in high season.

Leisure outside the hotel

It's hard to come to Thailand and spend the entire vacation in the hotel, depriving yourself of the pleasure of meeting the unusually interesting sights. It is especially convenient to devote days to those who arrived in Phuket in August. The weather at this time is not just warm, but sunny. Even after the rain, the sky is always quickly disposed of, which is perfect for excursions. Buy them can be in the hotel or in the travel agency of Patong and Phuket, which goes much cheaper. And to go there is where. Islet Phipha, Lake Cheo Lan, an extraordinarily beautiful city of Phuket with its exclusive museums, parks, Buddhist temples and much more.

The hotel guests certainly will like not only excursions, but also shopping. The market is very popular here, working on Thursdays and sometimes (not all year) on Mondays. It is located 1500 meters from the hotel. On the market, Russians are especially interested in outlandish fruits and local cuisine, many of which are prepared for buyers before our eyes.
