Frommer's Review

Throughout 2006-2007, the Amari chain has consistently upgraded its properties, including renovating and reinvigorating their dining facilities. La Gritta is notable not just for its food but its stunning views of Patong Beach, which unfurl in a long silver strip off into the distance. It's well away from the fray, yet only a 15-minute walk northwards to the end of the main beachfront road up on the headland. The walk will let you work up an appetite for the restaurant's extensive menu and excellent wine list. The colorful antipasto misto makes a great shared appetizer, while main dishes include plenty of seafood like sea bass, prawns, or scallops -- though there are imported steaks, veal, and salmon, too. For dessert, don't miss the pink peppercorn ice cream or the chocolate Amaretti custard.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
