Amanda

The rooms at Amanda measure from 18 to 35 m² and all include a private bathroom with a shower, a hair dryer, toiletries and a flat-screen TV with satellite and cable channels. Views vary between rooms: some look onto the courtyard, others onto the street, and those with a sea view look out over the water.

Depending on the room, guests can also find air conditioning, soundproofing, a whirlpool bathtub, an electric kettle or a socket near the bed. Rooms sleep three to five guests, and the Family Room with Sea View offers 35 m² of space for a larger group.

Amanda's facilities are built around wellness, with a spa and sauna, massage, body scrub and foot bath treatments, and a salon for beauty services. The resort also has a shared lounge with a TV area, a playground and a terrace, and private check-in and check-out are offered.

Dining is covered by restaurants, a coffee shop, a snack bar and room service, and alternative meal arrangements are also available. Outside, the garden and the private beach give guests space to spend their time, and the public areas have air conditioning.

Free parking is on site, and guests can communicate in English, Malay and Thai. Rooms can have a clothes rack, towels and free bottled water.

Amanda is in Pakbara, on the Andaman coast of Satun province, in the far south of Thailand. Pakbara is a small coastal community, where fishing villages, beaches and the ferry terminal shape the area around the hotel, and the sea is part of everyday life here. Ban Tha Pa Yom is one of the villages in the surroundings, and it gives a sense of the local way of life.

The Pak Bara ferry terminal is 2.7 km away, and it is the departure point for boats to the islands, including Ko Lipe. Bang Sila Beach, a coastal viewpoint, lies 4.5 km away, while Cu Pa Noi Beach and Bulo Beach are also in the area. Wijit Janya Garden, 6.4 km away, is a green space for a slower walk, and Kampang Park is another public park nearby.

A relaxed day could mix the resort's private beach with a trip to the Bang Sila viewpoint, or a morning walk in the Wijit Janya garden. Boat trips from the terminal can be disrupted by rough seas, so a flexible day works best for anyone heading to the islands. The Public Van Station, a bus station, lies 5.5 km away by road for anyone travelling on from the area.
