The families enjoying the Amari give the lie to the Pattaya-is-just-for-single-men myth.
On Pattaya Road’s northern curve, this allin- one-place resort is split into two gargantuan wings linked by neat gardens dotted with paths and two fab swimming pools – one lagoon, one lap.
The older Garden Wing is low-rise, some way back from the sea, while the soaring hi-rise Ocean Tower offers far-reaching sea views from its more up-to-date (and pricier) rooms.
Our pick: the Ocean Tower’s Executive Junior Suites. These 63m2 corner rooms with open plan layouts star walk-in bathrooms with stone bathtubs, and plump king-size beds facing unbroken ocean views. You also get access to the Horizon Club business lounge, with its exclusive privileges such as private check-in/check-out and early evening cocktails.
Facilities begin at the pool, continue with the spa and restaurants, and never really let up – this is a resort you can lose days in.
