amara Villa is the most wonderful place we stayed in Thailand so far (been there for 5 times over the past 7 years), we traveled in a group of 6 people and rented 3 rooms out of 5 in Samara. The place is located 5 min drive from the ferry / town centre of Nathon Pier, with onsite villa manager / maid / handyman and there is even a security during night time. The building is very new and well maintained, we only used 3 rooms but there is also a additional kids room if you are travelling with small children.
The villa manager Ray is unbelievable helpful on all our request and enquirers, she has helped us to book day trip, motorbike rental and arrange taxi pickup, there is nothing that she can't help! She is also a fantastic chief, my wife even took her chance to learn a few Thai dishes off Ray. We only regret that we cannot pack her away with us!
When we visited Samara the road access to the villa was blocked due to road work, it was not really convenient get in and out but that didn't concern us too much as we found ourselves spent the most time in the villa relaxing.
Highly recommend for family/groups travelling with kids!
