We arrived at this hotel after staying in the much quieter AoNang and I must admit i'm not a huge fan of Phuket. This hotel was at the quieter end of Patong strip but still a bit too busy for our tastes.

The rooms were quite nicely decorated and the staff very pleasant and helpful. The hotel has a smallish pool with a spa pavillion and is also right across from the beach.

There is also a small restaurant where we ate lunch a couple of times and there are many other places to eat within an easy stroll.

Overall i'd rate it a 3 star, there was nothing really wrong with the place but I wouldn't return.

My wife and I moved to this hotel after a very unsatisfied stay at a property close by. One of the owners greeted us and was aware we were coming from another property where we had a bad experience . He put us in a very nice beach view suite w/ a luxurious bathtub and 4 poster bed. The pool was the perfect size for this intimate hotel. The breakfast was very good w/prompt service and various newspapers to browse each morning. If you are looking for a quality stay in a modern hotel in Patong this is a wise choice

Me and y friend stayed at Avantika in february 2004. It was a nice little hotel, with very friendly staff. The rooms was clean and nice too, but not so luxury that It seems in the pictures on the webb.

The restaurant was nice, even if It was located directly to the beach road (in this part of the beach It is fortunately not so heavy traffic). We didnt eat dinner there, but we had our breakfast there (ordered from a menu) and It was good and tasty.

Unfortunatelly the beach in Patong is not very nice, very crowded and no longer a paradise. I recommend you to take a Tuk Tuk to the middle of Karon beach if you are looking for at nice beach with not so many people.

To sum up we have no complaints at all, but this hotel is to expensive I think, even if It´s nice.
