Bottom Line

The upper-middle-range Amari Nova Suites Pattaya is located in a quiet area, about a 15-minute walk from the beach. The 105 studios and suites are spacious and well-equipped with full kitchens, washer/dryer combos, and furnished balconies, though maintenance issues have been reported. Guests can prepare their own meals, or eat at the on-site bistro, which offers a breakfast buffet as well as a la carte lunch and dinner. The hotel has a lovely rooftop pool and whirlpool, plus a spacious fitness center. The location means many guests will have to rely on public transport to get to restaurants, shops, and beaches. If kitchen facilities are less important than being near the beach, consider the similarly priced Amari Garden Pattaya.

Oyster Hotel Review

Amari Nova Suites Pattaya

Scene

Contemporary hotel with black-and-white color scheme throughout

Guests are greeted with cold towels and drinks when they arrive at the Amari Nova Suites. The hotel's contemporary style is evident from the exterior, which includes a white facade with tinted balcony railings and curved corners. Inside, the lobby has garish black and red high-back chairs, placed in seating arrangements on orange area rugs. The decor gets more attractive, with a fun black-and-white wallpapered hallway, and black, circular wall art. This color scheme continues into the apartment-style rooms. Since the hotel rooms offers kitchen facilities, it beckons short- and long-term travelers, including tourists and those in town for business.

Rooms

Contemporary studios and suites with kitchen facilities

The 105 attractive rooms at Amari consist of studios and suites, varying from one to three bedrooms. Like the hotel, rooms have a contemporary black-and-white design consisting of white tile and floors, a mix of black and white wood furniture, and pops of red in artwork or throw pillows. Most notable is that all rooms have fully equipped kitchens, featuring microwaves, stoves, refrigerators, kettles, toasters, cutlery, and dishes. Washer/dryer combos are convenient for long-term stays. Decent-sized balconies are furnished, though views can be so-so. Also standard are flat-screen TVs, DVD players, free Wi-Fi, and free local newspapers, upon request. Safes, robes, and slippers are in the closets, as well as ironing facilities. Stark-white bathrooms have sleek black-tile accents, plus showers, hairdryers, scales, and a range of toiletries. Some past guests have complained of maintenance issues and worn furnishings.

Features

A few on-site features include lovely rooftop pool

Features aren't extensive here, but the rooftop pool is lovely and has a whirlpool on one side. The pool deck is done in attractive stone tiling, and topped with a handful of loungers, circular daybeds, and umbrellas. Though there's no spa, in-room massages are available, as is a bright fitness center on the eighth floor. It has floor-to-ceiling windows with pleasant views, plus a good range of cardio machines. For those that don't want to cook, an on-site Bistro serves buffet breakfasts and Thai and international cuisine for a la carte meals at lunch and dinner. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
