A superb hotel with very convenient location close to town and beach. We had a Grand Deluxe room for a very good rate. the room was fantastic with plenty of space and a balcony with views over the garden. Excellent buffet breakfast and we dined in the restaurant on 2 occasions in the evening and 1 occasion at lunch time- each time the food was delicious.

Avista Resort & Spa

Accommodation and facilities:
Travelled with 3yo and 3 month old. Stayed in deluxe room. Room was fantastic - plenty of room for us all, very clean and good condition. Extremely friendly staff, particularly for the children - we loved that the staff would hold/care for our baby during breakfast every morning to leave our hands free to enjoy the fantastic buffet. Pools (x3) were lovely. Great kids pool that our 3 yo could play in safely by herself and free balls/kickboards around for her to play with. Perhaps the only negative was there weren t too many other kids around for her to play with. She went to the kids room with us a couple of times but was always the only kid in there. A front desk staff person always sat with her and played too while we were there. Resort on a hill - it was steep but not that long - we managed easily carrying the 2 children a couple of times a day. Lots of great restaurants and shops nearby. Took advantage of free shuttles to patong and kata beach. Highly recommended.

Avista Resort & Spa

Accommodation and facilities:
It s quite a nice place with very friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed the luxurious room and the swiming pool. Tips: It would be more economic to book the breakfast with the room because it would cost more if you order it speratedly. But there was much garbage on the beach and the hotel was on a hill, which did consume some energy to walk along. If you walk 10 mins to Kata Noi beach, you may have better swimming experience.

It was the 4th time we stayed in Avista, which Avista really a very nice hotel. I highly recommended. A small accident happened during our last trip, Avista took fully responsible on my medication fee and also upgraded us to the one-bedroom suite! That s so nice! I always happy with Avista and i m sure we will choose Avista again for our next trip!

Reservation service:
The booking service was fast and satisfy, however, i guess the CS didn t really pass my request to the hotel, as i requested to have 3/F or 5/F room but hotel arranged us 4/F when we checked in.

Avista Resort & Spa

Accommodation and facilities:
This place is simply amazing. We LOVED the resort, the service, the facilities, the cleanliness. My only recomendation would be for the hotel to provide more frequent shuttle service up and down the steep hill they are on as even the tuk tuks are reluctant to shuttle you up the hill. The hill is farily steep and especially difficult with children. However this is by far one of the best resorts I have stayed at. The atmosphere and people make this place magical.

Reservation service:
Sawadee.com is a very efficient and effective website. It is very user friendly, easy to use, and response turn around within 24 hours. I have been recomending this site you everyone I know.

Avista Resort & Spa

Accommodation and facilities:
The overall experience was very pleasant. The hotel is uniquely located close to the sea-shore, yet away from the danger levels of tsunami. We enjoyed it even more for the quieter environment. The hotel staffs were very friendly and assisted a lot. Rooms were well furnished and nicely decorated. I d give a 9/10 rating for the hotel only because the uphill climb to reach to the hotel was a bit tiring.

For the money we payed, it s worhty. 4 star resort at 2 star price. If you plan to stay here, book through Sawadee, it s the cheapest. Trust me, I compared all the websites. It was a pleasant stay for us and we will come back.

Avista Resort & Spa

Accommodation and facilities:
Check in is pleasant with cold towel and sweet fruit drink. Staff is nice and very helpful. Deluxe room is spacious but spotted ants on sofa toward the end where near the door at balcony. Properly due to food residue that no clean properly i supposed. The room amenities are great & sufficient. The balcony with seating and small table (room 304) is great chilled out place with clear sky at night but be prepare for mosquitoes attack. The sunset is sightable too. Resort s facilities are adequate with gym, great pools, game room & a small libary. Kid club is closed at the time of my stay may be due to low season & you hardly see kids around (less kids mean less noisy, is time for honeymooner now). Free internet access with headset at check in lobby is a plus. Spa is discount up to 50% at this time around, great deal but i never try. There is only one restaurant (no air-conditioning, humid and hot) in this hotel. I tried the dinner there, standard is average if compare to the price. Breakfast is acceptable if you are westerner but if you are asian, then forget about it and no yummy at all. All dishes no really fresh may be due to high temperature, variety limited (of course, low season now). Be prepare to walk on a very steep hill up to the resort. Ok for youngster but if you are old folk, good luck to you or you may treat it as exercise of the day. Cheers! Location is ok, nearby bars (of course pretty girls are inside too if you have FAQ). Resort provides complimentary shuttle service to Kata beach (Return) & patong (one way only) which is great as it saves your token as tuk tuk & taxi service right in front of resort are blood sucker. I suggest you rent a motorbike if you stay here, you will find that your world in Kata will becomes bigger. Overall rating 3 out of 5, mainly constibuted by the room it-self and price offered during this low season (1,750.00 Bath/night inclusive of VAT). GREAT DEAL, ha.... See you there

A very nice and new hotel, with huge rooms. The price was very very good for what we got. The breakfast was very good, but not so many options for thais. The hotel is at the end of a very steep road, and that could be a problem for some. A very nice touch was that my girlfriend got a free - and very tasty - birthdaycake.

Accommodation and facilities:
The Avista is a GREAT hotel! There are so many positive things to say--the rooms were beautiful and spacious with comfortable beds and accommodations. The pool area was gorgeous with lots of seating areas, clean water, and the swim up bar! The location is on top of the hill, but it s away from the noise of the streets so it s peaceful and serene (as well as a tsunami evacuation point). The breakfast was wonderful--each day a different omelet, lots of fruit, and many other choices. The coffee was fantastic!We had lunch by the pool every day and I was amazed at all of our healthy and delicious choices. Even though all of the other highlights were listed first, the service was truly above and beyond what I d expected! The staff was helpful and amenable to our requests and needs--from the restaurant to the pool, the concierge to the guest relations folks, the Avista has it all! I highly recommend this hotel!

Reservation service:
I did all of my Phuket hotel and beach research on sawadee and was completely satisfied with the thoroughness of their website. All of my questions and changes were answered quickly by email. I sent in my payments and received acknowledgment right away. Although I was a bit nervous at first, my satisfaction with their service and security overcame any hesitation. I would use this site again and have told many of my friends about it!
