The Avantika is simply a beautiful boutique hotel in every respect. Rooms are smartly designed with trendy decor, and especially, a balcony facing the adorable Andaman Sea just at a reachable space. This hotel is located right at the edge of the famous Patong Beach, on a 5 minutes walking distance to its surrounding lively areas. Simply say, the Avantika is surprisingly a charming oasis of peace in the heart of noisy Patong beach. The location, price and quality its one of those most favourite choices if you prefer to stay at the area.
Breakfast was provided in the fresh&cool morning ocean air at the (only one though) restaurant. It was satisfactorily served by friendly staff in sit-down style, although an a la carte menu (either American/Continental) might make the breakfast selection relatively boring after staying there for more than 3-4 nights.
Other disadvantage would be that the Avantika is really a small boutique property, therefore its facilities, e.g. swimming pool, restaurant or spa room, are not so excitingly excellent since they are rather small. Having said that, taking the fact how their staff were always sweet and willing to help and delightfully offer an upgrade if a better (and more expensive - the Grande Deluxe on the 4th Floor) is available, as well as the hotel's excellent location at the reasonable price, the Avantika's superb hospitality and services made those limitations were much less disturbing during my stay. Pick this hotel if you are searching for possibly the best hotel in Patong.

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.
