Novotel Phuket Kata Avista Resort And Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Overall Great Hospitality, But Operational & Dining Shortfalls Need Attention We appreciated the team's hospitality during our stay. The staff were polite, professional, and always greeted us with a smile. The pre-arrival check for special occasions was a thoughtful touch, and the room's birthday decoration with a complimentary cake was lovely. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, with excellent variety served late into the morning. However, several areas need management's attention: Allergen Diligence: Despite providing dietary restrictions pre-arrival, we had to remind staff of our allergies with every order. This should be logged against the room number for seamless care. Half-Board Dining: Food quality was high, but the à la carte menu was too limited for a half-board stay. We ran out of options and expected a buffet or 3-course meal instead of 2 courses. Facilities & Excursions: Restricting playroom access to 1 hour daily was overly rigid. Hotel excursion prices were also heavily marked up compared to local high-street rates. Major Issue: We experienced a 4-to-5-hour blackout during peak evening hours. While management cited a public grid failure, a reputable chain like Novotel should have proper backup generators to prevent such severe disruptions. We hope this feedback helps refine the guest experience."
