The Avista is a hidden gem. At Kata Beach it is modern, friendly, has excellent deluxe facilities and two great pools. Excellently run with great staff and perhaps the best breakfast buffet we struck of 5 hotels in Phuket. There is a hill to climb but this is no real effort and there is a hotel shuttle to both Kata... More

Stayed in a grand deluxe room for 8 nights. Room is really spacious and has a double and a queen bed. The grand deluxe rooms do not have a view of anything. Our room had a lovely brick wall view. I think it's strange that the basic room gets a pool view but if you pay for the next room... More

Overall hotel environment is good and friendly staff. We travel with children and old folks. The Shuttle van service by Avista is lousy! We try to book to patong at 6pm (3 hours earlier ) and was told fully booked!! They only have 14 seats at one time apparently. Come on Avista you need to be sincere in providing such... More

My husband and I recently stayed for 8 nights in May 2012. I was a bit nervous as I had booked the accommodation on Groupon.com and got a phenomenal (too good to be true) type deal. On arrival we were greeted by Mark with cool towels and an amazing fresh juice. We were able to sit and enjoy our juice... More

The pool was great with... More

This hotel offers everything a family with children needs to have a great stay. The pool area is great and offers many places shaded by big palms, so that small children can play without being sun-burned. The service is very good, and most of the staff speaks perfect english. Breakfast is really good and the staff in attentive. Avista is... More

The staff, rooms, pool, cocktails, breakfast, location - everything is perfect! We went as a group and had a fantastic time. Our room was incredible, and we could not fault the hotel at all! Our complimentary massages were incredible too. My husband's only gripe, was that he could never decide what to eat for breakfast - there was too much... More

We travelled in a group of 8 (4 couples) We arrived at the Avista after a long journey & we were greeted by the friendly staff with a refreshing towel & cold drink whilst we checked in. First impressions were great !! The rooms are pretty impressive !! The lighting & air con is all controlled by touch control. There... More
