So let’s start off this is my third time at Avista Kata . Our last stay was 8 years ago . The facility is getting old , things like walls , tiles , showering head just doesn’t give a good vibe . There’s ants so make sure you don’t have anything sweet laying around . There is no usb charging in the room so it seems like they don’t update the hotel at all . The pool is decent compared to other kata hotels . The staff is decent . The food is ok nothing special . Would not stay at the hotel again.

The hotel is clean and the hospitality is excellent. The staff Tina recommended good places for us to visit and eat. Location wise will require to climb on top or walk down the steep road, however they have shuttle service every half an hour to kata beach and they provide beach towel as well. They have kids club and pool but the pool is 1.2 depth hence will require floats for younger children.
There is no halal section or separation for halal in the hotel breakfast, food choice are limited. And the surrounding area require to walk abit of distance to find a halal friendly restaurant
Kata beach and the area is good and family friendly, alot shops to walk around.

Staffs are very nice.
I enjoyed the swimming pool, spa, bar.
All great just the location is on the very shaky slope.

Decent hotel with great pools and nice breakfast buffet. Close to beach although a bit of a climb back to hotel if not using the shuttle.

We were here on a family trip for three nights and chose this hotel as it is advertised as kids friendly. The brand not only did not meet the minimum standards, the service and staff was very bad.
1. We were checking in late at 7 pm and when I sent the email about the same, the guy responded with entire information about check out
2. Rooms were comfortable but few basic amenities were missing or not functioning
3. There is 1 small lift for 5 storeys with capacity of 5 people! And lift was not working for 4-5 hours and had to carry my baby all the way up to 5th floor multiple times.
4. Kids play area is very average and when we requested for play station remotes the staff kept on using delaying tactics instead of giving a straight answer
5. Worst was the breakfast buffet and food experience. Food and desserts is very average. There is hardly anything for vegetarians and usually at all hotels they make something where vegetarian food isn’t available. At Novotel, we weren’t given this option and when requested staff rudely said no, except on one occasion.
6. Water play area is good
7. Shuttle service to kata beach is available but no information is provided before hand.

Very good hotel. Located on the top of the mountain, very hard to climb to the hotel. It provides bus, but you have to wait for it as it runs every 30 minutes. Startbucks is nearby, 10 minutes walk.

The breakfast could have been better. The restaurants outside offer better food than what they have there.

The hotel is located on top of super steep hill. That’s a great minus. We ended up paying 200baht every time to go on top of the hill when going back! There is shuttle but every half and hr.
The breakfast is below average! Not much for Muslims travellers. Taste wise fall flat!
They provided beach towel but no carriers like most hotels do. Not beach front.
