AVANI Pattaya Resort & Spa

Pattaya, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

AVANI Pattaya Resort & Spa has the tranquillity of 8 acres of lush tropical gardens, but just steps from Pattaya's lively shopping and entertainment areas. The rooms exude quality with their polished wood floors and teak furnishings. Your dining options are many; there's lots of great Thai food, naturally, and the Japanese steakhouse Benihana is very popular, located in the Royal Garden Plaza mall. For relaxing by day, the large swimming pool, complete with swim-up bar, is the business.

We stayed here for 5 nights in a garden terrace suite. The rooms are beautifully decorated and our room came with a free standing bath. The breakfast buffet is vast and well laid out. We had club lounge facilities with our room, which I would recommend. The club lounge facilities include free soft drinks during the day and then in the evening,… Read more
We stayed here for 5 nights in a garden terrace suite. The rooms are beautifully decorated and our room came with a free standing bath. The breakfast buffet is vast and well laid out. We had club lounge facilities with our room, which I would recommend. The club lounge facilities include free soft drinks during the day and then in the evening, they do a lovely buffet with some inclusive alcoholic drinks. It's located opposite the beach there is one road to cross. There is a small area outdoors for children with a pool table and activities. The only downside to this hotel is the pool is so cold that even my children didn't swim much. I think this is probably down to the pool being shaded with trees, and in parts of it, it is extremely deep. All in all it's still a beautiful hotel. Read less

I booked this hotel for our family group of 8 people and stayed from 28th December until 3rd January. We arrived at the hotel early and left our bags at reception after being told to return at the check in time 2pm this was great as we had time to go for lunch, we returned at 2pm and were told our rooms were still not ready so we relaxed in reception. After about 15 minutes a member of staff came and said we could not sit around in reception and pointed us in the direction of another area we could sit, I found this a bit rude as the only reason we were siting in reception was the rooms not being ready. After another 10 minutes they told us the rooms were ready but after checking in for 1 room we were told the other 3 rooms would be another 15 minutes. One couple in our party made there way to the room and the porter arrived with everyone's bags and dumped them in the first room and was adamant everyone would have to come and collect them when the rooms were ready. I then had to make a complaint with the manager back at reception to have the bags collected and delivered to the correct rooms, this was not a good start to our stay. The only other complaint I would have about the hotel is there are a limited number of sun loungers and only 20% of them are in a sunny position, there is a rule that you can only leave them for 30 minutes but if you are not up by 9am you have got no chance and they are all reserved with the placement of towels. We booked the hotel because of the pool area but had to spend most days on the beach because of this reason, as you can imagine the staff do not want to enforce the 30 minute rule as the would involve having to remove clean towels and put them in the dirty towel basket.

Stayed for 8 nights in the Sea View Corner Room. The outdoor area for this room is one of the most impressive I have experienced and would highly recommend. The service was great and the staff were extremely friendly and were always more than happy to assist.
