Phuket Luxury Hotel Rawai Seafood And Sunset Stay
Patong Beach was calm in the low season, with beautiful weather and fewer crowds. After checking out of the previous hotel, the journey continued toward Jungceylon while waiting for a travel companion arriving from Bangkok.
Jungceylon opened at 11:00, so there was time to wait outside before heading to Amari Hotel. The hotel was about 2.3 km away, a seven minute journey from Patong. Amari Hotel? Yeah, Amari Hotel.
Phuket Shopping Malls
The Amari lobby was large and impressive, with a welcome drink and a fresh mint towel. The room was not ready, so the swimming pool, restaurant, private villas, beach access and the resort map were explored first. The resort was big enough that the map was useful for finding the different areas.
There was also a waiting area for guests whose rooms were not ready. From the lobby, the view was already beautiful, and the low season made it possible to enjoy the calm atmosphere and pleasant weather.
Phuket Hotel Booking Tips
The Amari room had a balcony overlooking Patong Beach, a large bed, a couch, a place to eat, a work area, a large TV, a refrigerator, a mini bar, a safe box and an iron. Only the complimentary water was free from the mini bar. Only complimentary water.
The room cost 3,950 Thai Baht, almost 4,000 Thai Baht, during the low season. Amari usually starts at about 5,000 Thai Baht without a view, while a similar room in high season can cost more than 7,000 to 8,000 Thai Baht. The low season price was about 50 percent lower and included breakfast.
Breakfast offered a wide choice of sweet food, meat, coffee and other dishes. For anyone staying at the resort, paying for breakfast was considered worthwhile.
For travellers comparing hotels, the Phuket hotel booking tips and the story about a Bangkok hotel surprise provide useful context.
Phuket Local Food Seafood
Rawai Seafood Market was about 20 km from Patong and offered fresh seafood that could be chosen at the market and cooked by a nearby restaurant. Prices could be higher for tourists, so travelling with a Thai friend could help with the ordering process.
The seafood, rice, drinks, cooking and service cost about 1,300 Thai Baht in total. After the meal, there was time to walk and digest before stopping for ice cream at Nikita in Rawai. What is the name of this restaurant? Nikita.
Phuket Krabi Flight Costs
The day ended with a sunset from the resort, looking across toward Patong Beach. One side was crowded, busy and hectic, while the resort side felt more refined and peaceful. The weather stayed clear, and the sunset was enjoyed with a drink and complimentary snacks during happy hour.
After breakfast, there were three hours left in Phuket before travelling to Krabi for the next part of the trip. The stay at Amari combined a luxury resort, a beach view, a local seafood market and a relaxed low season price.
