Avista Grande Phuket Karon - MGallery 5 stars

We really enjoyed our time at the Avisha. We informed the hotel in advance of our honeymoon and they had a wonderful welcome display and cake for us. It was a really nice touch. The location is amazing and tranquil. Close enough to the lovely Patong but away from any noise and directly in front of the beach which is a nice touch. The facilities are great. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable. We had a pool view and it was just lovely. Staff were fantastic. Check in easy although one observation is listed below. Lots of great breakfast options. Breakfast was great. I will offer the following observations: - upgrades to some gym equipment required - there is no jacuzzi - service at the poolside is very slow and it took a very long time to get orders in without approaching the pool bar yourself Altogether still a great stay and would absolutely recommend!

This hotel is 5 minutes walk from the beach but it is down a steep hill. The pool is amazingly large but gets quite busy and is cold. The hotel puts signs up about not leaving towels on sunbeds but by 9am most beds had towels on and they were left all day and the hotel did nothing. The breakfast is good and worth paying for. If you get a pool view room you will be situated directly above the pool and opposite the restaurant so you get no privacy and so it is worth paying for the sea view room. The mountain view rooms just overlook a construction site. This hotel is odd as all staff, even the ones cleaning the rooms don't ever acknowledge you or say hello. They are friendly when you talk to them but if you don't talk to them, they will completely ignore you which for a 5 star hotel is poor. The room was spacious and the tv allows mirroring but not streaming.

Our time at Avista Grande was an amazing experience, the hotel was beautiful! The rooms were clean and the staff were very friendly, they couldn’t do enough for you! Pros Perfect location into Kata or Karon within walking distance or you can grab a tuk tuk right outside on the main road. Rooms are nice and big, and clean! The staff are very friendly! The pool bar is great, with music and happy hour cocktails between 3pm - 5pm. The cocktails were delicious! There’s a gym on site which has everything you need. Cons We found the drinks and food quite expensive - we ate out most days purely because of this as you could get a meal a lot cheaper going local. The drinks were quite expensive too, compared to bars around the hotel. Limited breakfast options, we stayed for two weeks and found ourselves eating the same every day. They have a lot of noodles, rice, salad which is something I wouldn’t eat in the morning. They do also have an egg station but they don’t offer any avocado, smoked salmon etc. it’s quite limited for us brits! We had an amazing experience and would definitely return! We would recommend this hotel to our family and friends. Thank you again!

We stayed for 2 nights. As soon as we arrived, we were impressed by their hospitality from the first minute. And they gave us a complimentary room upgrade which was a lovely gesture and coincidentally it was our anniversary as well. When we let Matt know this, he and his team decorated our room within an hour with a few heartfelt well-wishing gesture, a big thanks to his team for this. We loved the stay and felt at home seeing all their efforts and hospitality. Loved their food, drinks collection, pool bar and special mention to their staffs (Matt, Chef Jotin, Trish, Eve, Tana Thai & Everyone).

Love the hotel stuff for taking care of us. Pearl Spa and their lovely massages are unforgettable. And of course cooking class with adorable Pang - is an experiance that should be on „MUST DO” list ❤️
