Disliked: Room comfort
AVOID if you’re looking for culture/relaxing hols
If you want to enjoy your holiday or like us, our honeymoon, AVOID this hotel
- If you have a Mountain View, it won’t be pleasant as you’ll just see derelict housing
- Cleaning was very delayed for a 5* hotel, usually didn’t come until 3pm. Sometimes it wasn’t cleaned properly, especially the floor. Sheets were never changed too
- Full of Russian families, making lots of noise and inconsiderate of other people.
- Pool beds were always unavailable, I wasn’t able to enjoy they hotel facilities as there was nowhere for me to ever sit, so I had to stay in my room on the balcony
- breakfast is SO busy, food replenishment is poor and lack of timely service
- Quality of robes and slippers provided was atrocious - they were fraying with holes and looked like they were very old
- Cooking class was led by Chef Pang who was great but the AC was not working so we had to cut the class short as I felt sick. Ended up having a bad experience and didn’t have fun
- The walk to the beach is close but it’s VERY busy, I felt like I was in Malaga
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying in Phuket, specially at Avista Grande Karon.
We have just moved to The Slate hotel - we’ve spent the SAME PRICE PER NIGHT and omg it is absolutely incredible. The service, comfort, atmosphere of the resort is amazing. I am so gutted we didn’t book our whole stay here.
