AVANI Hotels & Resorts in South Thailand from NZ$129

"Ignore the slightly perfunctory greeting at the ao po marina office - this place is incredible. We had a 2 bed pool villa and I think it will never be beaten in terms of view and comfort. My tips: 1. take a plug adapter (no international plug in room) 2. make sure you have cash as some restaurants/bars around the resort only take cash and the atm at the local shop is frequently out of order…. 3. It is easy to take a grab to the marina but the marina restricts grab pick ups in favour of their own taxis. We still got a grab to our next destination but had to walk out of the gate of the Marina The staff were the friendliest we have ever had and knew our names and the food and drink was nice and varied. The view from breakfast is wonderful. "

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Pullman Naithon Beach. It is in a beautiful setting and overall you feel you are in accommodation of top quality. The staff are friendly and always eager to make your stay a great one. Unfortunately the main restaurant used for breakfast was under renovation so breakfast was in the banquet room instead. I don’t remember reading this when I booked. I believe if a Main facility of a resort is closed you should be informed. The main pool is in need of renovation with hundreds if not thousands of tiles lifting. Doesn’t look good and possibly an injury risk. These two latter points aside it is a great resort and we would return again for a longer stay. "

"This is our sixth stay at katathani over 10 years. We have seen the resort change and improve over the years but the basic characteristics are the same: a very large resort along a beach which is almost predominantly used by hotel guests with a number of small restaurants and shops on the outside of the resort and 5 or six within the resort. We came originally as a couple and now we have three children and it is still brilliant. "

"A little bit hilly due to the location but buggies provided access to all of resort,even down to Karon beach.The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to cater for needs.Choice of 5 excellent good size swimming pools with a swim up bar in every one.Excellent breakfast choice for all nationalities.Highly recommended resort."

"An oasis of calm and relaxation in the midst of busy Patong…loved this property and one to come back to.."

"This property is in close proximity to a lot of shopping and restaurants and within walking distance. This location is not a quiet place so if you’re looking for peace and quiet try further away from all the action. "

"This place cannot be faulted! The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, they always have a smile and they create a clean and positive environment. The breakfast food has a variety of options and it was very spacious. The pillows were fluffy and created the best sleeps. This place is truly paradise! Amazing beach too!"

"It was our first tike here in Thailand and we loved everything in the hotel. All the amenities were amazing. The food at the buffet was amazing, the staff was very friendly. There was this girl named Sam when you check into the buffet she was amazing. So Helpful and friendly. Our flight didnt leave until nightime and they have a lounge where you can relax and shower. Overall, I would stay here again. I would give this hotel a 10 star rating "

"My only concern was the barge on the beach in direct site of dining… very disappointed "
