Accommodation near Big Buddha

We initially booked for 5 days - we loved the place so much we extended for another 3 then upgraded to a pool villa for another 7. Highly recommend this resort.

Staff were friendly, love the pool areas, clean rooms and great location.

At night time, the swimming pool and walk ways were lit up with small flashing specks of light. Very fantasy like especially when swimming in the swimming pool at night. Did not see any kids so it was peaceful and staff very friendly. Only disappointment was we did not get free upgrade with the VIP access. Hotel also provides free shuttle to and from Kata Beach every hour in the day time.

Super friendly staff and facilities. Great rooms as well. One thing to note is that the hotel lobby is further in, need to wait for shuttle to be brought in.

The staff at Avista Grande Phuket Karon Mgallery are second to none. They made our stay memorable by going above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. Highly recommend this hotel if you're visiting Karon Beach in Phuket, Thailand.

We were a family of four with 2 ocean rooms next to each other and had a great stay here. The rooms were large with a huge bed which could be split to make twin beds. A little on the hard side but they put a thin quilt on top to make it softer from the second day. I would say the rooms were dated somewhat and are in need of a refurb but to be honest everything is in the right place and with so much space and the view you forget about the old furniture and bathroom. The pools were great and clean with plenty of loungers available. Bar staff, drinks and food were good - what I would have liked is for the staff to be walking around rather than having always to go to the bar but we were ok with this. The beach is on your doorstep which we loved, very clean and beautiful with security staff on hand at the hotel entrances. The only 2 negatives were that check-in felt rushed and our room at 6.45pm was not ready for about 15 mins. Also the buffet restaurant was not great quality food, breakfast here was not the best with limited veggie options and slow refils. Just fyi we used 'Grab' taxis rather than those from the hotel - these were cheaper but we had to catch them up the road as the hotel / local drivers did not like the grab taxis. Overall an excellent stay but some little things could be improved.
