I had actualy intended to write to Asia rooms re this hotel.
The last 3 days of our stay the hotel was invaded with 140 (I think they said) school children on an english camp !!!
They were noisy and at times extremely inconsiderate. But this was good compared to their teacher and their children who ate breakfast with guests and took plates and plates of pasteries and fruit back to their rooms leaving little left for any late rises.
Hotel staff did seems to realise and tried to be as helpful as possile in offering cooked breakfast .
BUT when I approached the hotel manager, he informed me the children were not on holiday but on school camp (at the hotel ) - very unhelpful and not at all interested in my concerns. I was meant to be on HOLIDAY so much for peace and quiet.
The hotel has nice pools on a nice beach BUT way too far from action of Patong eg shops, markets and restaurants. And it costs heaps to travel there on our dollar the hotel shuttle bus is NOT free I thought it was to be. Also no bikes to get about on and too far to walk into town. Never again had been happy with Asia rooms suggestions in the past.
We were disappointed at our stay at...
We were disappointed at our stay at Amora resort for a number of reasons. The low point of our stay was when the power went out for many hours. When we asked why some rooms appeared to have power and some didn't, we were dealt with rudely by reception staff and made to feel as if we were telling lies.
Unfortunately there is also very little to do around the resort and anything requires travel, with expensive taxi rides into the main town charing 200 Baht, one way, to go about 1.5 kilometres to the nearest place where there is something to do.
They offered bicycles at the resort to be able to ride to places, but the tyres were flat, the chain fell off the cog and it was barely ride-able! This left the only affordable transportation our own feet.
There is an over-priced 'cafe' style place to eat on the beach which appears to be profiteering from the isolation of the resort, with expensive laundry service and food and drink prices.
There was a never-ending presence of mosquitos in the resort and even in the rooms, and we had to put a mosquito coil in our room and spray ourselves with repellant to be able to sleep at night. There was no mosquito net available.
On the plus side, the pool was clean and large and we enjoyed swimming in it which made up for the beach which had jelly-fish (and we weren't sure if these were harmful or not), making us keen not to go in the water.

Beautiful relaxing hotel. Only downfall is there's no swim-up bar, and sometimes the bar service can be hard to get. But if you sit on the deckchairs by the beach the locals are more than happy to get as many drinks for you. Would definitely return for some more r and r.

We just spent a wonderful 3 weeks there. The staff are terrific, breakfast buffet was fantastic and the multitude of beach restaurants was just great (Outside the hotel. The facilities and beach areas are well maintained and the staff always helpful. Not a single negative!!

Very friendly staff both at the restaurant and the front office. The Rydges Beach Resort hotel rooms were attractive and comfortable. The location was beautiful with a short walk through the trees to the beach.

Post Tsunami we got 6* service for a 4* price. Our room was comfortable and spacious. The Rydges Beach Resort staff were very helpful and we were more than happy with all the facilities provided for our comfort. Would happily recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday, though not for those wanting an active nightlife.
This hotel is in a wonderful location...
This hotel is in a wonderful location and was perfect apart from having to put up with a room that stank of stale cigarette smoke for the first 5 days of our holiday. We requested non-smoking but it would seem that smoking is allowed in all rooms. It would certainly benefit the hotel to provided dedicated non smoking rooms.
